stronger.

I'm so tired,
my mind plays tricks on me
shouldn't you be this
shouldn't you be that
voices play around,
frustration builds
and then
silence

Be joyful
it whispers
remember who you are
don't sweat the little things
you are worth it
you can make it
you're going to be ok

the battle stops
for once, just once
i want to take it all in
soak it up,
play it over in my mind
because that's where the battle's at
and I know someone who is stronger than I

it's all going to be ok.

leap.

tiny speck on a streaked floor,
moving slowly, always watching
lines swirl, steadily than faster
spinning out of control

wishing to know the answer
lost, tangled, upside down
if only truth spoke loudly
an arrow points north

there's something to being thankful
it's not a mystery
hold on to the hope that is inside
the promise remains the same.

"Some things are meant to be....
take my hand, take my whole life too.

For I can't help,
falling in love with you. "

This song is playing at Starbucks right now and it makes me so happy. :)

I was thinking about other lines from songs that I have loved over the years...here's a few:

"And I don't want the world to see me,
'cause I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am,"
-Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

"I watch you spin around in your highest heels,
you are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel...

You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart."
-Stolen by Dashboard Confessional

"Can you lie next to her,
and give her your heart, your heart
as well as your body....
and can you lie next to her,
and confess your love, your love?

But tell me now, where was my fault
in loving you with my whole heart.
Lead me to the truth, and I will
follow you with my whole heart."
-White Blank Page by Mumford and Sons

"He is jealous for me,
loves like a hurricane
I am a tree,
bending beneath
the weight of his wind and
mercy.
And all of a sudden,
I am aware of these
afflictions eclipsed by
glory, and I realize
just how beautiful you
are and how great your
affections are for me."
-How He Loves by John MacMillan.

"Only love is all maroon
gluey feathers on a flume,
sky is womb
and she's the moon."
-Flume by Bon Iver

To be free.

To be free
is to love without fear
to live without worry
to dance without care

Strength comes after weakness
stripped of delight
hitting the ground
consequences.

When did anyone say
it would be easy?
No one ever did.
But we don't think so.

Sometimes things don't
make sense,
but that my friends,
is the beauty
in the broken.

Inspiration.

"Always tell the truth
Use kind words
Keep your promises
Giggle and Laugh
BE POSITIVE
Love one another
always be grateful
FORGIVENESS is MANDATORY
TRY new things
say PLEASE & THANKYOU
Say your Prayers
SMILE. "

November 8th 2011.

I'm sorry for the times that I've let you down,
the times where I mope around,
don't say a word.

I'm sorry for the moments
where I don't love you
as best as I should.
When I don't show you
how important you are
to me.

I'm sorry when my insecurities affect you,
when I get jealous,
filled with fear,
and let my anxiety get the best of me.

I'm sorry for the moments
when I selfishly set expectations
for the time we spend together,
when I'm not as gracious
as I would like to be.

I'm sorry.

I want to live with no expectations,
live free,
happy
content,
no matter what the day brings.

Thank you for showing me love.
Thank you for sticking by me
in those moments when I fail.

Thank you for being near,
holding me close,
wiping my tears.

Those moments are precious,
and remind me of the love that
never fails.

Car ride.


driving in the car
heat cranked
windows down

contradiction.

music softly playing
speakers broken
harmony missing

nostalgic.

candy in the middle
mug in the holder
water on the floor

predictable.

hand in mine
eyes locked
perfect smiles

peace.
