In My Heart

Forever LOVE

Yeah, In my head

Hello all

Sometimes having a listening ear to vent is everything. A friend who is always there

Well too bad I have neither. Well, my notebook lol

My fellow bloggers/readers yall know I am always in my feelings though it is a reason for it

Given the month it is and the month coming up. No doubt I will need the strength to make it through. Days coming up will be hard and a struggle and I am going to try my hardest to get through it. I just know emotions, memories, and everything will come back up. Missing mom and trying to keep it all together. And lonely. It feels like rainy days ahead

Tonight, I wish I had a friend just need someone right now I guess, and with me, that does not happen often. I usually tend to vent here and in my notebook and with my sister, but no one else face to face. Or I sometimes keep the worst inside and do not speak a word about it.  Maybe I am a damn difficult person. Thankful for this blog and support. I just like to vent and let it out of course and wish more people in my life genuinely cared. Again just need a friend and a listening ear right now. Okay! Breathe… Can’t believe I am rambling on about not having friends. LOL Crazy!! Then again, it’s how I feel tonight. Have a good one.

Blessings and Love!

Who I Am!!

Poems, poetry, Short Stories, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , ,

I know who I am and what I want in life

No

I will no longer accept anything less than what I deserve

I know how I love and what I can offer

No

I will not give in and be someone I am not

I will not be treated like trash

I know who I am and what I want

Standing tall and facing all

I will be a better me

Yes

I will be better than my past, the old, me

Grown woman here, who goes for what she wants

I know who I am and what I want

It’s me its who I am!

Blessings and Love!

Bitterness 

poetry, , , , , , , , , , , ,

I used to be a soul full of love 

My heart was pure, and my spirit dove 

But betrayal and lies left me alone 

Now, my heart is as hard as a stone 

I see the world through jaded eyes 

My trust in others has met its demise 

I’ve been scorned and left to wither 

My soul now bitter like a poisoned river 

I try to let go of the pain and hurt 

But the wounds are deep, and they still assert 

I pray for solace and a new start 

But the bitterness in my heart won’t depart 

I know deep down inside 

That this bitterness I must abide 

For it is a part of who I am 

A survivor of Love’s cruel scam 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

Bottled Up

poetry, , , , , , , , , ,

I keep my feelings bottled up 

Locked away from prying eyes 

For fear of judgment or rejection 

Or the pain of being criticized 

I smile and nod and play along 

But inside I’m a stormy sea 

My emotions churning and roiling 

But no one knows the real me 

I’m afraid of being vulnerable 

Of showing my true self 

So, I keep my guard up constantly 

And put my feelings on the shelf 

But I know this isn’t healthy 

To keep it all inside 

I need to find a way to open up 

And let my emotions take a ride 

To let my true self show 

-Bottled Up- 

Blessings and Love!

The State Fair

Bloganuary writing prompt
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
View all responses

In the state that I live in the state fair is a huge thing (well probably in any state). I live in Minnesota and have been living here for about 25 years, and I have never visited the state fair. I always talk about and say that I want to go but have never gone. It seems like it is interesting and a lot of fun especially if you’re with family and friends. Of course, being a foodie, I would love to go and eat some of the delicious-looking foods that are at the state fair. Hopefully, soon I will finally go.

Have you been to the state fair in your state? 

Blessings and Love!

DayDream

poetry, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In reverie I find my escape

A world where reality takes a break

Daydreams become my sanctuary

A place where my mind can roam freely

With eyes closed and thoughts adrift

I leave behind this earthly rift

In my mind, anything is possible

A world without limits, truly remarkable

Oh, daydreaming, how sweet the sound

Of freedom and peace that I have found

For just a moment, I’m free from strife

Lost in my thoughts, living a better life

I DayDream!

-DayDream-

Blessings and Love

Waterfalls! II 

poetry, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Waterfalls, oh how they flow 

A sight so beautiful, it’s hard to let go 

The rush of water down the rocks 

A calming sound that takes away the knocks 

The scenic view, oh how it shines 

The sun reflecting, creating lines 

The greenery surrounding the falls 

A peaceful haven where nature calls 

My love for waterfalls, it’s hard to explain 

But the beauty they hold, it’s hard to refrain 

A place where one can clear one’s mind 

And leave all the worries behind 

Waterfalls, scenic and peaceful 

It is indeed a gift that’s truly blissful! 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

Waterfalls!

Alone! (A Poem)

Poems, poetry, Short Stories, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Alone I sit in silent thought

With nothing to distract my mind

No laughter, chatter, or love sought

Just solitude, my only find

The stillness echoes in my ears

As I contemplate life’s great scheme

No judgment, pity, or sneers

Just me and my lonesome dream

The world outside may bustle on

But in this moment, I am free

No expectations to be done

Just the peace of being me

So let me revel in this space

And cherish every moment alone

For in this quiet, sacred place

I find the peace that makes me whole

Me, Myself, and I

Alone!

-Alone-

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.
