Is this happiness?
Marie-Lyne Nov 2017
Happiness is waking up in the morning and being able to get up
Happiness is sorting out your clothes and realizing that you have too many
Happiness is knowing that you’re lucky
Happiness is finding out that your stress is meaningless
Happiness is not being afraid of useless things
Happiness is taking care of yourself everyday
Happiness is bathing in a warm water
Happiness is sleeping early
Happiness isn’t that hard you know
But we always forget ourselves in this chaotic world
I want you to take care of yourself no matter what
To love yourself and admire your body even if it’s not perfect
I want you to wake up everyday grateful that you’re living this life
I want you to have all the things that we’re missing in your life
I want you to have friends that love not matter how weird and awkward you are
I want you to trust yourself enough so you’ll never worry about the future
I want you to give yourself some time to sit back and relax
Make time for yourself , for your own self
It’s not good to neglect yourself
You are enough my dear
But stil don’t know it
Don’t wait for someone to tell it to you
My darling you are strong because you’ve decided to fight
But don’t lose yourself in it
It doesn’t matter if you win or you lose
What matters is your effort, your strength, your ability to stand up again
If you're thinking that your life should be all about good moments
You’re wrong
Look around and you will see that all this chaos inside of your head doesn’t exist
You will have more confidence once you understand that being yourself is the best thing you’ll ever learn to do
Have a good life and appreciate what makes you weak

A simple observation

If we can’t change a situation
That bothers us and sent us into despair
How about looking at it differently?
No matter how hard this task may seem

Not a summary
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
One day
a person
will come
and they will
sum up everything
you've been through
in one phrase
But what if
I told you
that all the
little details
cannot be
summarized

Loving someone needs time
You can't jump from being friends

It's not about the past
Marie-Lyne Nov 2017
It’s not about the past
nor about your future
Why do we like to torture ourselves?
Is pain the only thing you can feel?
Is absence the only kind of love you know?
Are you telling me that you don’t love your present?
What do you want?
Is this the life you’ve always imagined?
We are human beings and we are melancholic
We are dark souls
But what if
You decided to change
Do you need time to think about that?

I deserve
Rest

Lying down
Looking at the ceiling
It is okay
If I feel empty
Overwhelmed
Tired

So you'll grow outside of me
I came back to see what remained of our flame

What we need to hear
Marie-Lyne May 2018
Most of the times
We love people
Not because they complete us
But because
They give us a reason to live

How many people have to fall in love with you
So you'll realise that what you have inside is rare in our world

hope...
Marie-Lyne Dec 2020
It’s been a rough year
for all of us
But we have survived
We made it through tough times
We did our best to protect ourselves
We enjoyed small little outings
We walked a lot
We talked on the phone a lot
We discussed
our fears
our worries
our sufferings
What made us sad
But still
We handled it
We continued living
Were are still breathing
We are talking taking care of our souls
of our bodies
All of this has the power
to makes us feel better
to accept
ourselves as human beings
affected by the outside world

Letting go
Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
Letting go
of everything
that stops me
from being free
Letting go
of what anchors me
to the ground
Letting go
of what strangles me
Yes, letting go
of the person
that I wasn't able
to give up on
for years

Modern
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
Someone called me modern today
and I don’t know if that’s a good thing
Maybe because where I was born people are usually attached to useless traditions
But we can’t always define someone by their country of origin
Even if we have lived in same places
but we have different parents, entourage and all that stuff
Stereotypes ruin our lives
But we will always find a way to show our true selves

The awful truth
Marie-Lyne Oct 2017
People entered my soul without notice
They visited me
and they lived in me
Their strenght was all I need
And I depended on them
And I let them change me
to be better of course
I never knew what I kept
inside of me
Until one day
I opened up
I said what I wanted to say
I acted naturally
I wasn't too shy
I let go of my insecurities
I let go of past judgments that were
always sticked to my thoughts

New beginnings are scary at first
but they are filled with new feelings
New excitments
They make you who you are
You become stronger
You feel better
But that doesn't mean
that there weren't lonely days and lonely nights
when all I ever did
was remember past memories
and look at old photos
It's not that easy to forget people
that you love
I'm not forgetting them
I'm just learning how to live without them
122 · Aug 2020

Relief
Marie-Lyne Aug 2020
You don’t have
To find a meaning
To everything that
happens to you
Marie-Lyne Apr 2018
I'm torn between what I want and what I need to do
I'm torn between allowing myself to feel something for someone or spending a lifetime not admitting it
I'm torn between my distant country and the new city that I live in
And all these things
that I can't control
are making me go mad
This uncertainty is killing me
I'm tired of all this mess
This modern world is nothing but
a series of routines that are repeated
Like a tv show that you're not able
to stop watching
Full of silences in the metro when
you can't stop thinking about every single thing

Marie-Lyne Nov 2018

Sometimes you have to
be arrogant

Feel angry
For god's sake

You deserve everything

Run
Marie-Lyne Jan 2019
Run
What are we running after?
Is it love?
Finding destiny?
Or are we just running to get into the torrent of life?
To keep moving just like everybody else
Because moving fast
Has become the new motto
Waking up everyday
Doing the same routine
Without ever stopping
As if taking some time to rest is a sin
Being unable to catch up with the speed
Is okay is totally human
Take your time
To discover yourself before others
Do not follow what others are doing
117 · Dec 2020
Before the new year
Marie-Lyne Dec 2020
Are you happy?
Do you have thoughts that constantly live in your mind?
What do you want to change?
What inspires you?
What makes you grateful?
Who supports you when you feel down?
Who gives you hope?
Do you believe in a greater power?

Healing takes time
Marie-Lyne Dec 2018
I’m sorry that sometimes
I don’t know how to stand beside you
Comfort you in the correct way
I try my best to motivate you
But things don’t always work
I know that you are suffering
You’re making efforts
And I’m certain that what you’re passing through
Is really hard
I can never deny that
But I’m sure you’ll get better
It takes time, energy and patience
115 · May 2018
Do not
Marie-Lyne May 2018
Do not be judgmental
Do not ask ask me questions
I can't give you explanations
That's what I told my inner self
Everytime i did something wrong and unpleasant
Marie-Lyne Jan 2019
I am afraid to start again
What if I am not enough
What if I fail
What will happen then

We need time to recover
To start again
Healing will happen to you
Just be patient with yourself

When we will be separate from each other
And it will feel weird at first

Everything should be transformed

Accept the fact that change is beneficial
No matter how much you crave stability
