Poetic Thoughts

``You see a crack in you're phone, a new spot, you look like you haven't slept in weeks... That fear of imperfection drives you to try even more better, like embracing it would make you a failure, But embracing it doesn't make you a failure really, it's just part of accepting that nothing is perfect but it doesn't have to be. You are only human, you can only be who you are. And those imperfections make you who you are just as perfectly beautiful as the way you look.``

``You can walk a thousand miles in the rain if you feel like it,

You can even spend the whole of the day cuddled in a warm blanket with your hair down watching tv all day if you feel like it…

Think about these two examples for a moment, although one is productive and one isn't they both have something in common still.

If you feel like it, you can overcome some of your weaknesses. But that doesn't mean you have to be strong right away, it takes tome and that's okay, You have a right to make your own decisions and have your own choices, and it's important that you feel comfortable with making those decisions... Because you can walk thousands of miles in the rain if you feel like it, you can spend the whole day cuddled in a warm blanket if you feel like it.

``Don't let people get you down just because they have power over you,

Because they don't have any power over you really, you give them the power…

Because you let them, you let them look down on you, you let them walk over you like a doormat.

``Exhaustion and tiredness can feel almost inevitable.

As if the work you need to achieve is too far to reach…

Even though it seems out of reach,

It is not impossible…

You just feel as though you don't have the energy to achieve it.

~ ~

Because you tell yourself that you can't achieve it, you tell yourself it's impossible to reach.

Instead of taking a few steps forward,

Instead of trying to reach the goal that deep down, you know is more possible to achieve then impossible.

``Some people will throw their problems at you like a punch in the face, But that's just what everyone does when their having a shitty day or when they are feeling miserable, right? But then why do I doubt everything I do, Why do I believe them when they always put me down… tell me I'm worthless… call me names… chew me and spit me out like a stale piece of gum?

You start to think... Do I truly deserve the hatred and cruelty they throw my way? Those words they throw at you, as if you are nothing but a battered toy for them to throw about... Then you start to believe every word, every name they say, and let them use you for their benefit.

You feel as if what they tell you is true, I am selfish... I am worthless... I am nothing... I don't deserve anything... I am a disgrace...

You start to sink further and further underground, left with the suffocation that resides by the pain.... You become more and more emotionally drained day by day, punch by punch, defenceless as if you can never escape, Until you're fuse goes off, and you finally break after years of holding the internal battles confined.

Sometimes people will throw their problems at you like a punch in the face... They will try dragging you down into their storm, trying to take all your happiness and successes away from you, Because if they aren't happy or successful, why should I be? Well who ever told you that is clearly a miserable person too, Just because they have had the worst time in their life, it doesn't mean they get to drown you and suffocate you until you feel that way too...

If you went out of your way, showed them sympathy, kindness, and love despite how much they used you, and how horrible they treated you- Then you are letting them suck the energy and emotion out of you, So stop letting them use you, stop believing the small seeds of happy moments they occasionally give you, and most importantly stop telling yourself the things they tell you.

Because you are worth it, You are kind, You are caring, You are a good person, And you deserve the whole entire universe.

The fact that you still stayed and gave them all of the kindness in your heart despite the pain they inflicted towards you, That is proof enough that you are a better person than they are. Kindness shouldn't be hard to give to the ones you truly care about,

``In order to feel like you are strong, you are incredible and can do anything. You've gotta believe it first, That's way easier said then done especially if it feels impossible…

But in order to feel like you are strong, In order to feel like you can walk through your fears and doubts like it's nothing. You have to tell yourself...

``It feels almost impossible to carry on when it feels so hard to get back up, Like a million weights are confining you to the ground…

``It can be hard to go outside sometimes, Like you're glued to the safety and protection home gives you…. Like you will fall through the cracks as soon as you enter the outside world.

``We look for hope throughout our life,

It's something we do subconsciously like we are always searching for a crack to appear…

As if a light is hiding inside it for us to find and embrace.

``Sometimes we don't always have the answers,

There are times where we can be clueless… We get scared when faced with the unknown, Frustrated when we don't have the answers given to us.

Answers of what to do, how to move forward... But knowing isn't always the answer... It's the unknowing that creates ideas, That creates the ability to reach the heights we never thought we could before.

``The bad seems almost inevitable,

Our minds are clouded by the idea of it…

Like we refuse to see any sign of good,

As if even the brightest of lights are too dim to see through the clouds of the bad.

But there is that small moment of joy, of accomplishment.

If we focus on that joy,

If we focus on that accomplishment...

Then no matter how small it may be it will set a light,

A light of good that shines through the clouds of the bad.

Until one by one the clouds will subside,

Allowing you to see through a more clear perspective on our lives.

That in fact, the bad seems almost inevitable...

But through a clearer lens,

``They say it's easier run away from you're fears then to let them go

But avoiding them is harder when they find a way to show…

You've got to face them first, Even through all that hurt... Because once you walk through the fire, Then you'll be able to climb much more higher.

``Roses are red violets are blue,

I am enough and so are you.

Despite what other people say or do,

You deserve to be loved too.

If you are shy, or you are sad

You're loved ones only want to make you glad.

You are their sunshine, their beautiful light.

So as long as you're who you are, all of our

days will be bright.

Roses are red and violets are blue,

``Time ticks by slower when we are waiting for something… But time ticks faster when we aren't waiting for anything.

In the slower days we grow impatient of what is to come, of the expectation we desperately want to reach... In the faster days we are driven with patience, of what is to come. Enjoying the present time enough to wait for expectations in the past.

While the clock is ticking, it is telling us a message…

It is giving us a warning, or rather a sign.

~ ~

And if you listen closely then you will hear the present,

You will see that it is telling you to live in the moment…

It is telling you to be patient with the time you are given day by day,

And to make the most out of what time you have right in front of you.

Because if you sit waiting for the past,

Then time will tick by slowly,

But if you stop waiting for the past and focus on the present,
