61. Teach Them Well
You are not defined
by the way other people
see you
treat you
love you
You are defined
by the way you
see yourself
treat yourself
love yourself
Others will do unto you
as you teach them how to;
teach them well

62. Slow Down
slow down when your world
is spinning too fast
when day and night are stuck in dusk
make sure to enjoy life
soak in the sunshine
admire the moonlight
witness how the clouds gather
and disperse
how the wind chases the leaves
across the street
treasure the little moments
that world will still spin
but you won’t fall off for taking
a well-deserved break

63. Tightly Interwoven
people have told me
to let you go
but they don’t
understand
if I did, I’d lose
myself too
that’s how tightly
we are interwoven
you are as much a part of me
as I am of you

64. Keep Going
Strong people can
feel weak and
brave people can
feel afraid and
light people can
feel dark
Lost people can
be found and
hopeless people can
find faith and
helpless people can
be helped
Keep going
keep going
keep going
It is never too late
to turn things aroundFeatured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

65. Winter Lullabies
in Winter Poems
Winter speaks
in blusters
and lullabies fall
with the snow.
Some float
through the air
like flecks
of magic,
and some
settle like dreams
that didn't want
to be caught.

66. A New Beginning
sometimes I wonder
why life feels
so uphill most of the time.
but maybe
the mountains are rooting for us.
maybe they want us to see sights
we would never get to see without them.
because in that moment,
when life takes your breath away
for all her beauty, you are reborn.
and I don’t think there is anything
more perfect
in this world than a new beginning.

67. We All Need A Safe Space
We all need
a safe space
to rest our tired feet
and set down
our weary hearts.
We all need
a friend who
welcomes us in
and reminds us that
we don’t have
to be perfect
to belong.

68. The Strongest Part Of Me
Even in my darkest moments
I still have that little voice
encouraging me to go on.
To stand up and keep fighting.
To wipe my tears and pull it together.
To never give up.
That quitting is not an option.
That it will be ok no matter what.
Without that voice I would be lost.
I couldn’t make it in this world.
That is the strongest part of me.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

69. Even When; Especially When
Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.
Even when your lover leaves you empty and begging,
you are still loved.
Even when you’ve tried and tried and failed and failed,
you are still worthy.
Even when;
especially when.

72. Take Me To The Center Of Your Soul
take me
to the center of your soul
show me where you hide
lead me to the forgotten wounds
show me the other side
show me your broken pieces
and where it hurts the most
show me all of the scariest parts
introduce me
to your ghost
take me to all of the pain
let me dive into your darkest seas
take me to your secrets
let me walk through memories
take me back to desire
and lose me there forever
swallow me inside your heart
for I will leave there
never

73. Her Cup Never Ran Dry
in Faith Poems
no matter how weary
she kept pouring
but her cup never ran dry, for God
renewed her strength daily, and
gave her a peace
beyond all understanding

74. Drowning
in Short Poems
They come in waves,
my feelings for you.
And not pretty whitecaps
dancing at my feet.
But when I least expect it.
When life seems to be
a quiet stream of continuity.
They come to disrupt.
So forceful they pull me under,
so that I am drowning and once again,
can’t catch my breath.

75. Exhale Anxiety
I send anxiety
a cease and desist letter.
I close her mouth.
Unbind her gnawing disquiet,
slow my train track heart.
I manifest settle,
a steady river in my veins.
I proclaim calm,
a relentless hymn on my tongue.
I end the riot in my chest
and exhale.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

76. Give Me That Peace
I don’t need to be the sun;
the center of it all.
Always present.
Always burning.
I mean, have you seen
how beautifully the fireflies dance
on warm summer nights?
Give me that peace.
That light.
That choice.
The ability to surround myself in darkness,
or to subtly, yet brilliantly
glow.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

77. The Comfort Of Pain
Live with it

I guess when
it’s the only constant
even heartbreak
can find a way
to feel like home.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

79. Missing You In Every Part Of Life
I miss you
In all the pauses,
The loudness,
The quiet,
The chaos,
Of my everyday
I miss you…
In all the spaces
You once lived,
In my heart,
My mind,
My skin,
My body & soul
I miss you…

80. I Want Love
I don’t want attachment.
I want love.
I don’t want you to be
with me because it hurts
you to not be with me.
I want you to be with me
because being with me
makes you feel the most
alive you’ve ever felt.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!
