In response to those in this world who fear love;
Now,
Hear this heart beat louder.
Here the strength expands
In love,
In
Peace.
In response to those in this world who fear love;

Peace.
They punish her in their silent ways.
After she has spoken up,
After she is exhausted.
The ones she loves most.
Unapologetically,
Indirectly
Forgetting.
She is soft to them,
She is weak.
She knows she has been taken advantage of,
Manipulation in their pious suffering
Pulling at her heart.
She bends,
She sways.
To be there when the weight is so heavy
On her.
She moves ever so slowly.
They know
She has yet to speak and then
It leaves her mind as to why;
She cries.
She cannot be who they think she should be in
Their false strength
And the lights go out.
One can decide to stay in the perpetual
Habit of fear
Or find your unique strength in that fear
And create something beautiful .
It is all within you.
I struggle to steady my mind
And I cannot find the breath to
Say i am tired,
And I cannot find the strength to
Reach for you.
My walls so high and mighty.
My fear steals my bones.
I’ve heard them whisper about me
Then turn and
Smile at me in the reflection in the mirror.
I’ve seen them steal away and swallow
Anything they can put their fingers on.
Eat. Sleep.
Dream.
You did not create beautiful things in me;
After burning what is left to ash
I am transforming what has become of me
Through visions born of trauma.
Beauty and strength.
Experience and forgiveness,
Patience and love.
Rebirth and
Recreation.
Overflow unbound.
Shine in infinite stillness.
Let your love
And strength in peace
Be bigger
Than anything else.
I am running all over,
Falling apart.
People talk at me.
Their eyes darting
Anywhere else but mine
Looking for escape.
And I tell myself I am fine,
There is nothing wrong,
But every message I get from humans
All around
Is i am not.
And I choke back the tears sometimes
And I laugh out loud at myself
Sometimes.
And they walk on,
Walk on by
And I wish them love.
Nothing but love
Because I see their pain swirling around their hearts and minds.
And they still won’t look me in the eyes.
They turn away
And turn away again.
And I turn to the Angels
All around us
And thank them believing they see me.
I keep going and going
Knowing We are all here for a reason.
……
And
I need reminders
Today
Of
Hope
And strength.
My knees are weak
And
It feels as if a corset has been tightened
Around my ribs a
Cinch too tight.
Inhaling little bits;
Shallow and dizzy.
I am on a slippery slope.
Can’t seem to get a grip.
And what if one day
I just don’t have
Enough
Of me
To
Keep a hold of,
If i am not strong enough to fight myself?
Embrace.
Some mornings when I wake
I feel weak and dreary.
It is then I let hope
Carry me.
She is so full of love.
I allow her
Strength to move me
And I always end up looking to the heavens.
I always end up smiling softly to myself.
The noise of traffic drowns out the sound
Of birds singing at my windowsill.
The silent strength of the trees remains rooted
Nonetheless.
She was told by several someones
Over the years
To toughen up.
(She was a terribly shy girl prone to tears)
But you see
What these people did not know;
She had been toughened up.
She had been beaten up.
Physically bruised,
Emotionally submerged in confusion.
Touched where she should not have been touched
She had almost been destroyed.
Bloody noses,
Pulled hair ,
Black and blue.
She had been toughened up
In ways that people could not see in the now
And somehow through all of this
Emerged an invisible strength.
Her tears were not always of sorrow,
They were of terror.
She is thankful to have had magic souls
And
Angels
Teach her how to turn
All of the turmoil of the past
Into
Joy and gratefullness.
