Love Myself
Estranged from serenity.
More chaos than calm.
My life has returned...
To the storm it once was.
Where Confusion and Anger...
Have set up home.
They are the feelings that fester.
In company and alone.
Another season, another reason...
For my heart to feel loss.
Is any lust or infatuation...
Ever worth the damn cost ?
Endless frustration...
Makes it so hard to think.
I close off my mind.
As I pour another drink.
I go round in circles...
Time and time again.
Never learning my lessons...
Although trying in vain.
Just as I near my limit...
Within my fragile mind.
There is a voice that shouts louder...
Than the ties that bind.
“Re connect inside...
Mind, body and soul.
Look in the mirror find pride.
Let the past go”
In the silence, I will find the peace.
That has been missing from inside of me.
I know what I must do...
To once again be free.
Fall in love again...
But this time with myself.
Trust all that is...
Is meant to be.
Forgive...
With the compassionate heart I know I still have.
Not others...
But me.

A Silent Symphony: The Unspoken Bond with My Mom
A Silent Symphony: The Enduring Harmony of My Bond with Mom In the quiet moments shared with my mom, a profound connection blooms, rendering words unnecessary. There exists between us a symphony of emotions—a silent understanding that transcends the confines of language. When we're together, a serene tranquility envelops us, and I am filled with a sense of peace and belonging.
