To feel alone

To feel alone 

We work so hard to feel anything but loneliness

We have what seems to be way too many avenues for people to get a hold of us 

But what are we left with at the end of it 

A cheap thrill, a good story, a hit of serotonin 

I can appear to have so many "friends" but I really want to know someone

Pain and Creativity

To be in pain seems to ignite creative fire but why and how? Pain is sometimes a tale of the heart, sometimes a tale from the physical body but always an expression of how we fit into this world. Pain means something is wrong, we must change our ways and move along. Pain creates growth, new opportunities and steers us towards our intended purpose. Pain allows us to create or find meaning for ourselves and others. Pain simplifies life. It takes away any significance given to silly drama. Pain is actually our best teacher and it guides us towards where to be at this time. Pain will take us to dark places only to realize our internal light will shine so brightly and allow us to find our way. Pain takes away any of the judgement we have towards ourselves and others. Ironically pain makes us extremely grateful. It makes us feel blessed for everything that is good in our lives. It makes us cherish the smallest things in life that we will start to deem miracles because really this life is hard to grasp and the only way to get through pain is to accept it. 

Another Love Curse

You went out outside and brought me a flower, I got scared as I lost my power 

I cannot accept as you took from the earth, could this be another love curse 

I'm not there, I'm not used to this 

If I commit to you what will I miss?

But I'll know the right person, one who accepts what he'll see

A person who looks deep within and fully accepts me 

Now here with you, I'm ready to fly away 

I'm ready to take off, you keep my fears are at bay 

You make me see what is not clear 

An accurate picture of what's in the mirror
