Reflections

Looking back on the mistakes I made

Now, knowing they were lessons learned

Reflections

Looking back on the chaos that ensued

Now knowing that

You get the bad sometimes before the good

Reflections

Looking back at the rage I felt

Now knowing how to control myself and move forward

Reflections

Looking back on it all

Now knowing I am standing tall

Through it all

Damn though it is my fault. Everything is on me and I did this to myself by being in this shell of mine, not letting my true feelings out. I guess I have been in shutdown mode. Grieving today and a broken heart is added. Damn story of my life. I cannot seem to get it together and another person left me, and I do not blame him. It is my fault. It is what it is. Though my heart hurts it’s because of my own doing. DAMN 

 Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, I will be alright……Hopefully 

Hope your day is way better than mine is! 🖤🤎💙💗💚💛🧡🤍💜

Blessings! 

Thank you for reading.

So tonight, I am excited. I have finished the rough draft of my first book. It has been a rough few months, but I made it happen. Started working on it 10 months ago. My passion and was dedicated to the process and continuing on. Wow, I am really done with it, well still must edit. Wanted to share the good news here on my blog. I don’t know if I should be this excited. There are still ways to go. For the rest of the week I will be done with edits and working on book covers. For the rest of the night, I am relaxing and mentally prepared myself for the next steps. Also, will be finishing up my poetry book soon. I am in a zone and the pen flowing. I love it. Again, want to give thanks to those who gave encouraging words and helped me on this writing journey of mine.

Hopefully, editing will be done by this weekend. I have 18 chapters to go through so I know I will be busy with work, and this. I got this I am ready! My grandma and mom would be proud. I also have good and new ideas for my blog, so I am excited about everything. Happy night for me! Okay, do not want to keep rambling…

Exciting Monday night. How is the night going for you? Ready for the week ahead? Hope you all have a good one!!!

Blessings and Love

Zealous!

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , ,

In my realm of zealous souls

I stand tall

Obsessed with passion

I heed its call

In every endeavor

I give my all

Driven by zeal

I never stall

With a fiery spirit

I chase my dreams

Through turbulent waters and silent streams

My zeal is a beacon

Or so it seems

Guiding me through life’s intricate schemes

Though challenges may come my way

My zeal will never fade or sway

For in my heart

It will always stay

A devoutness flame lighting my day!

-Zealous-

Blessings and Love.

Thank you for visiting.

Abandonment…..

Poems, poetry, , , ,

How it started and when it started

This feeling on being unwanted

Abandonment

As a child,

As a teen

As an adult

Being told at a young age

I’m not good enough

Cute enough

Smart enough

That I am nothing at all

Left alone

Darkness

Abandonment

By those who said they love me

Would always be there

But you see they are

Gone

Nowhere to be found

Abandonment

Searching for answers

Feeling of being alone

Closed in, nowhere to turn, fearful

Can’t speak, Afraid

My voice does not matter

Abandonment

Got me feeling no one cares

Abandonment

Screaming out for help

Being left, being unheard

Being let down constantly

Abandonment

Even by myself

I let me down too

Abandonment

Feeling of being ashamed

Of my pain

My scars

The fucked up past

Lifeless

Why though?

Being abandoned so young

Made me grow into darkness

Abandonment

Something I still try to get over

Darkness

Abandonment

Feeling lost

Unwanted

Unloved

It is too much of a feeling

This sad, and fucked up feeling of

A nobody

A Lost soul

Feelings of and the truth of..

Abandonment

-Abandonment-

Blessings and Love.

Protective Heart

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , ,

My walls built out of stone

Guarding my every fragile beat

Safe within the dark

My Protective Heart

My heart is built of stone

I wander alone

And keep my secrets my own.

Indeed

My heart is made of a fortress of tin

Refusing to let anybody in

I always say with a grin

That

No hurt can begin

If nobody enters my heart or my skin

My Protective Heart

Always protecting me from

Start to End!

-My Protective Heart-

One Day!

Poems, poetry, , , , , ,

One day it will happen

One day, maybe sooner maybe later down the line

One day it will happen

What you prayed for

What you dreamed of

One day

Your life will change

For the better

Have all you want

One day

Just take it easy

Do what you must

One day

Success will be yours to claim

One day

You got to have faith

One day

Your smile will be huge

One day

You will be on top

One day one step at a time

One day

You will shine

In time

Be patient

One day it will happen!

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Inaccessible

Poems, poetry, , , , , ,

I am but a distant star

Inaccessible from afar

My light may shine bright and true

But reaching me is nothing new

My heart may beat within my chest

But to touch it, you must attest

That you are willing to traverse

The obstacles that I have dispersed

For I am not a simple path

But a journey that requires some math

You must calculate the steps it takes

To reach me, for my heart’s sake

So, if you’re willing to take the time

To climb the mountain, I have designed

Then you may find that I’m not so far

And my light may shine upon your star

Blessing and Love!

Thank you for reading

Break for Self!

Poems, poetry, , , , , ,

The days run hard and I get pulled along

My body tired even though I keep holding strong

But even fire can’t keep burning for so long

Without a pause to soften back the light

I step out and let quiet touch my chest

Let stillness hum where noise had filled the air

I learned that slowing down is simply rest

A small reset

A moment made for self-care

No guilt belongs to slowing down my pace

I rise steadier when I choose to stop the chaotic race

A break becomes my calm

A break becomes the space where soft winds grow

Self-care is needed, to show my glow

…..The importance of taking a break when needed. Indeed Self-Care!!!!

-Break for Self-

Blessings and Love

Goodnight…

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , ,

 Embrace the darkness, and let dreams cascade 

As stars twinkle in the velvet night sky 

Worries fade, and weary hearts comply 

Restful slumber, in the moon’s gentle shade 

The day’s echoes soften, memories bide 

A whispered lullaby, the world grows still 

In quiet realms of night, hearts find their fill 

Goodnight, dear soul, in dreams, reside 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading.
