Find Strength

Let your strengths improve
Your weakness
And your weakness
Become your strength
Breathe in slowly
Let your lungs
Feel the air

Relax

Release the breath...
Push yourself
Past mental blocks
Doubts
Fears
Insecurities

Try

Push harder
Run
Faster
And try

Focus you energy
Your mind
Your attention
focus your
Heart...
On your goals

Find motivation
Find passion
Find ambition
Find satisfaction...
Through never
giving in.

Not My Own

Not My Own



I'll remain still...
Deep within,
When the world is rotating
Too rapidly....
And my head
Is consumed
With nothing...and
Everything...

Inside I'll remain
Still

Peaceful and trusting
Through a life
That is not mine.
My life,
Given to me
By One so much
More than I...

Guiding me,
Paving my path and
Opening roads I
Don't understand.

blindly

I take them...
Curious, yet vulnerable
In the world...
But not
Of the world.

Taken in by the doubt,
Sadness
Fear
Pain...
Weighted and compromised
But only for a moment...
Until I focus my gaze
On a road
Chosen...
Predetermined
For a life that is mine, but

Not my own

Tangible

Haha... Wrote this while I was deliriously tired at 3am this morning. Didn't realize I did it until I looked in my notes in class this morning

Act on impulse
Live...
Recklessly
Depending on hope
And trusting in
Something intangible.
Yet sometimes it's real...
And I can feel its
Existence

Entirely tangible
What was commonly
Unreal
Leading to believe
In something possibly

Unattainable

My heart beats openly...
I don't know how else to live...
My acts
Speak loudly...
This is who I am.

I'll give unconditionally
And act
With a heart of love
This is how I was raised...

But my heart is weakly
Strong.
And my belief
Feels feeble...
And failing...

Sleepless nights
Make my mind
Weak
Restless sleep
And my body breaks

Acting on impulse
And relying on hope
Resting my eyes....
And dreaming of something
Tangible
