Emotions

Everybody has emotions. The part of you that can't be understood any other way is dealt with and explained through your emotions. Everybody experiences problems and difficulties which are extrememly different from one another. You may even find yourself confused at a problem that somebody is having since your emotions deal with that situation differently. Don't hold yourself back from expressing your true self. Don't be frustrated at other peoples difficulties but rather understand them as best you can. The moments that you take to understand others are the moments you will make a better connnection with them. Never hold yourself back from expressing your emotions...because holding yourself back is just stopping others from understanding you for who you are.

Being In Love

When you love somebody it can be so hard tell them just how much you love them. The words "I love you" don't even seem to be enough. It feels like they are a part of your very being...Like they run through your emotions. You feel each others happiness, pain, and joy. You are two different people but your emotions and your heart become one. Somehow you are connected, you have always been connected. When you look into the eyes of the one you love, you somehow see yourself. You feel peaceful and complete with them; that is true love.

A Fantasy...

Facing reality isn't always fun. Facing up to what is actually going on can be annoying. Fantasy is one of the greatest escapes. Living in a dream world seems so much easier sometimes. Especially if the pain of reality is too hard to accept. Wandering into a fantasy allows you to create your own rules and abilities. You can escape every worry and become fully peaceful. But there are going to be times when even fantasy can't take you away. Face these times bravely, you can still win the battle. Even if it seems like there isn't anything or anyone to win it for. Fight bravely....for hope, if nothing else.

Life is a Race Against Time...

Don't you sometimes feel like there just isn't enough time in one day? Or maybe that there isn't enough time in one life. Too many people try to fight against time and hurry through things just because they see time as a restraint. I will agree that it does seem like that in many situations. But if you really take a moment to realize, you'll see that time is very special. Cherish it... Each moment that is spent will never come back to you again. Every day that you live is gone forever and won't be repeated. So take each day as it comes and treat it as a gift, because that's what it is. Don't rush through your day because you are afraid to waste time. Rather, take your day slowly so that you make the best of and enjoy the time your given.

Change

Change is a powerful sweeping force. It takes one familiar dream or situation and transforms it. Sometimes the difference blossoms for the better. It might even give you the opportunity to expand and build on your dream. Unfortunately, it can also distort or deform everything that you're familiar with. You might feel like you are trapped in a room full of mirrors and the reflection of yourself is the only recognizable image. But then if you look even closer, you might even realize that the reflection has also changed. Change can anger and frustrate you...but if you are free to let it flow into your life, then you might just find yourself better off than when you started. Your reflection may be newer and clearer that ever before. And the person staring back at you may have more potential than ever. Your life might even become something that you always dreamed of. So give change a chance...it might not be so bad.

D.r.e.a.m.i.n.g.

There are so many times in the day when I take a minute to realize that the one thing that my heart dreamed about, actually happened. Summer was spent dreaming about the man I loved. I wanted so badly to be his princess... and I felt like he was intertwined into my very being. He now tells me that he loves being my prince. I can't believe it and I am so happy! So giving up on your dreams is just gonna make you want to dream more and more. Some say I'm a dreamer....but believe me, I'm not the only one. He's a dreamer too..

A Dream of Summer

I dreamt that I was racing through a beautifully sunlit field at sunset. The Sun was shining its last golden rays on my hair and my white dress was clinging to my legs as the warm wind blew past me. My hands were at my sides and they felt the softness of the grass as I dreamily wandered about. I passed a willow tree and a beautiful river which shone like a crystal as the sun's rays reflected of the soft ripples off the water. I layed down on the soft grass and just daydreamed...

Time

Ahh...Time. Time is a funny thing. You can't speed it up or slow it down. It just seems to pass you by when your not looking. And then when you do look, you realize that you can't get the time that's lost back again.

Life is Like a Rainbow!

Life is like a rainbow. There are so many different seasons and experiences in life; just like the colours of the rainbow are so different from each other. Each moment and every aspect of your life has worked together to make it the beautiful image it is. Every person you've met and every situation you've sobered up to face has helped to shape your character. This is just like the colours of the rainbow. They make it what it is.... Just like what you do in your life, make you who you were meant to be.

My New Heart...

I feel the icy claws of seperation starting to receed. My heart is starting to show its true colour. I feel fear and pain trickling away like water droplets on a window. I feel warmer. The love that was stored away in the deepest part of my heart is being fully uncovered. I feel the warmth of true and gentle love pushing through the ice. I fully trust him. I know he won't let any ice every freeze my heart again.

Just Be Yourself

Its good to try and see the good in people and stuff, though there are some that are purely evil and that always sucks. People Should just be peaceful, forget all these stereotypes and restrictions. People aren't allowed to be themselves; it's horrible how society has become. People Shouldn't try to be what someone else wants them to be. It's just nature, just be natural since the world has become so unatural. Honestly, I don't like it but there's not much I can do. I've been born in theis time so I might as well accept it and do what I can to help. I might as well embrace it, my feelings about life. Not sense in hiding them. Might as well put em to use.

Happiness

Right now I feel so happy, I swear I just might burst. I guess that's what it feels like when your in love. I do know that not everybody has had the best experiences in this department, but you just wait. That somebody will come along even when you least expect it. Keep your eyes open and don't give up. I didn't. So why should you?

We are to Mirror our Creator

Just as a painting or sculpture reflects the feelings or emotions of its creator, we are to reflect and image the great love that our Creator has shown us. We are mirrors for the one True God!

*We are like the rain*

Today as I ventured into the unknow, also known as the outdoors, I realized something really relevant. We can definitely identify ourselves with rain. We are small, fragile, and the amount of us helps to blank our minds of the importance of each individual person. It's It's also difficult to remember the importance of each small blob of liquid. These however, are important things. The wind that blows the rain is like our life. It continually beats us. Sometimes it even feels like we have no control over this powerful force which only seems to be leading us to the end of our fervent journey. All it seems to do is hash us and tire us out. But if you really think about it, the wind is important. If it weren't for the wind, each droplet of water wouldn't reach its destined location. It is the same with us. If our life didn't lead us down many different paths and trails, though difficult, we would be at a great loss. Many of our friendships wouldn't have been formed, the chance to show Christ's love would have been lost, and we would have missed our chance to find a place in this world. So when you feel trampled and crushed by life, just remember this. Jesus will never let the wind blow you where you are not supposed to be.

Roller Coaster

Sometimes Our life feels like a roller coaster. You feel like you are finally reaching the top, when you see yourself plunging downward. The only problem is that you don't have control of the breaks. The real truth is that every single person on the ride with you; has the same amount of control as you do. You have none. Now...tell me how scary is that?

Drowning

I was drowning in a pool of water. I just kept trying to surface but I felt like a million things were drowning me. I pushed at them, trying my best to swim. The water was crashing me down. Soon, it started to swirl and it seemed less heavy. I opened my eyes and I saw the colour green. Peaceful, soft green. My heart beat faster and I started to surface. I felt sronger; like I could almost feel normal again. I sat on the bank and closed my eyes. I felt light as a feather and extemely calm. I saw green again, and I knew that I was safe.

Hanging by a thread...

I'm falling. My body is weightless and I am suspended by one tiny thread. One thin strand that could snap at any moment. I feel my body slowly becoming heavier and my mind starts to swim. But all of a sudden, one simple thought passes through by mind. The thought of soft green eyes. Each a well of something that is more than it looks like on the outside. I feel the thread thicken and a pair of hands pull me up. My gaze lifts and I stare into two green eyes.

The River

It was a dream. I dreamt that I was sitting under a beautiful tree beside a river. The sunlight danced on the water and there was a gentle breeze in the trees. The wind slowly increased and soon the water started to ripple. I opened my eyes wider and stared into the water. Slowly, it started to swirl and slowly I started to see what was happening. colours became faces and soon familiar places and scenes from my life were forming in the ripples of the water. I laughed and cried while I watched these scenes float by.Instictinvely, I reached my hand out to touch the water, but it really wasn't water at all. My hand had touched a smooth and cold sheet of ice which covered these pictures of my life. I tried to smash the ice in order to grab the pictures of familiarity, but saw that these were my past. Once then floated by they were...gone. The word hung in my mind like a heavy fog until I realized that the water was swirling again. This was not just any river, it was my life. I wanted to stop it so that I could control it. Then the truth dawned on me. The only thing that could control this water was the one that created it. I had to fully trust that He would bring peace out of the trubulence. I gazed back into the icy water. It was melting and there were new pictures appearing.New places, new faes, and new dreams. I gently lowered my hand and realized that I could touch these new scenes. I picked each one up. Some were light and I grabbed them with ease. Others, felt heavy and my back bent over the load. These were more like burdens than dreams. I couldn't lift them on my own. I panicked thinking that they would slip from me before I had time to embrace them. My heart was heavy until someone from behing me spoke the words "Do not be afraid." A man had arrived and procedded to lift these scenes with ease. He handed them to me and their weight was as light as feathers. 'This must be the creator,' I though. Jesus wanted to help me... The Creator loves me.

"Don't try and change the past," Jesus said to me. "Just let me help you with your future."

What this is all about...

Well, I just love expressing how I feel and what my day has been like through words. I love my poetry and I usually use metaphors and similies within my compositions. I am going to post a lot at first so that I can post all of the poetry I have written up until now. After that, there won't be as many at once. What can I say? I just love my words...
