Summer

The sky is blue
clear of clouds.
I think of the shattered hopes
on the ground,
like broken glass;
it's a million pieces, if you have to ask.

The grass is greener than the other times.
I assume it seems full of life,
only on the outside.

The waves are striking the shores of the sea,
like they are trying to yell at me,
for leaving them behind.

The sun is shining like summer days,
but the wind is blowing.
The sound recalls memories to me
and my thought are flowing,
like never before.

“Pain is a part of life. Sometimes it’s a big part, and sometimes it isn’t, but either way, it’s a part of the big puzzle, the deep music, the great game. Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you’re alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another.” - Jim Butcher

Fear VS Bravery (Alyson)

Alyson looked out the window and watched her fear leave. 

She had been honest & wearing her heart on her sleeve.

She didn’t want to be afraid anymore,

so she kicked fear out of her door.

So what if I am not just like everyone else?

so what if I am a mess?

I’m going to live my life the way I want.

I’m going to mute the voice that says “don’t”

Nothing is going to hold me down today.

It’s not going to help anyway.

Alyson, I admire your bravery

but don’t be too brave.

I won’t be able to help you,

when it’s too late to be saved.

Alyson didn’t listen.

She was too excited.

She was so emotional

and she couldn’t hide it.

It seemed to me that she was like

an angry/excited warrior,

that was crazy enough to try to battle a dragon,

thinking he was superior.

Alyson fell down.

Her head hit the ground.

She was injured & bleeding.

Her eyes were painted with regret.

She knew that emotions made her forget

that she was only a human being.

Alyson, get well soon.

You will be okay.

But don’t forget the truth;

you are only human and you will remain this way.

________________________

Being brave is good, but it doesn’t mean being crazy. 

Cautious is better than daring.

Don’t be afraid to try & don’t be fearless. Choose wisely your fears.

Don’t let emotions; love, hate, anger, pain,...etc, drive your decisions, or you will truly regret it.

Ignorance is not bliss

You call me ignorant but you know that is not true.

I'm aware of many things unknown to many, including you.

Now, watch each and every dream of mine coming to life.

I told you I wouldn't surrender. I told you I would survive.

““You are what you are and you are where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You change what you are and you change where you are by changing what goes into your mind.”” - Zig Ziglar

"We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes due to forces beyond our control. When we learn what it is our soul needs to learn, the path presents itself. Sometimes we see the way out but wander further and deeper despite ourselves; the fear, the anger or the sadness preventing us returning. Sometimes we prefer to be lost and wandering, sometimes it's easier. Sometimes we find our own way out. But regardless, always, we are found." — Cecelia Ahern (Thanks for the Memories)

   An amazing quote from an amazing book

What if

If only I could stop thinking all the time
about the what if's, could be's, and now what's.
If only I could stop thinking about yesterday & tomorrow.
If only I could clear my my mind.

It would be a sunshiny day.
