81. The Little Things Mean More Than Anything
It’s the little things
isn’t it
that mean more than anything
and the simple pleasures
that make a heart beat
it’s the smell of a flower
and a deserted beach
that fills lungs
and makes pain obsolete
it’s the sky and an ocean
and the touch of someone’s skin
that turns the world upside down
and makes it worth livingFeatured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

82. Worthy
Sometimes
you’ve got to look
straight into the
tired eyes of the
woman staring back
at you in the mirror
and tell her that
she deserves the
best kind of love,
the best kind of life
and devote yourself to
giving it to her
all over again.

83. Your Love Goes With Me
Your love
Goes with me
Today and every day.
I feel it
When I’m listening
To the songs the trees make
Or the music we listened to
On sunny summer days.
I feel it
When I look at
Old photos of you.
I have your same eyes
And so much
Of the same outlook as you.
I feel it
When your old ring
Clangs against my heart,
Hanging from a chain
That I wear every day
And never take apart.
I feel it
When a familiar scent
Mixes with my memories
Of you,
The cologne on your clothes
And the way the smell
Shocks my senses anew.
I feel it
When I eat your
Favorite food,
Perch dinners
Or Payday candy bars,
All the things you were into.
I feel it everywhere
I feel it in everything.
It trickles into my days
In a million little ways.
Your love will never be lost,
It comforts and persists
And it stays.
Your love gives me strength.
Your love makes me brave.
Your love
Goes with me
Today and every day.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

84. Read It Again
I hate people who’ve hurt me
so you’ll never hear me say
I must love them harder.
I know that
people are cruel
and that
isolating myself will make me happy
I refuse to believe that
people do love me.
I’m ashamed of loving so deeply.
No longer can I say
I deserve abundant love.
now read that again,
start from the bottom.

85. I Hope You Find Peace
I hope you find peace in your battles
I hope you find light within the darkness
I hope you find comfort in your storm
I hope you find your smile within the tears
I hope your heart beats lighter
when it starts to feel heavy
I hope you find the kind of love that stays
I hope you find someone who welcomes your broken pieces home.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

86. It Feels Like A Lifetime Ago
Feels like a lifetime ago
that I loved like that.
Wanting more
and more and more.
There are no photographs.
No forgotten sweatshirts.
No saved brunch receipts
or concert tickets.
No proof that I was madly
in love with you.
We carved our names
into nothing.
My skin aches knowing
all I have left
is a fading film reel
of your smile.

89. The Hand Of Fate
in Short Poems
There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,
and listen ever to the
small guiding voice in your heart,
you find the universe soon points out its place for you,
and then leads you there
gently by the hand.

91. Learning To Let Go
in Change Poems
Letting go doesn’t
always look how you think it will.
Sometimes it happens all at once.
Sometimes it’s in phases.
Oftentimes it requires a few tries
and heartfelt goodbyes.
Even when it’s good for you,
letting go is hard on a heart.
But like the changing seasons,
we will learn to change too.

In time…Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

94. Hearts Are Resilient
Hearts are delicate
yet incredibly resilient.
They break and break open,
yet they beat
and brave the pain.
They’re filled
to overflowing
only to be poured out
day after day.
And yet, they remain.
They fight. and they remain.
You fight. And you remain.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

95. Daily Reminder That You Are Worthy
And on Tuesdays you must look at
yourself in the mirror and say
“I am worthy. I need to be here.
And I am grateful I am.
There is beauty in my life and
I will find it. There is strength
in my soul and I will trust it.
There is purpose in my path and
I will unravel it. There is magic
in who I am and I will
believe in it.”
And then go climb your mountains
for today. And go find some
spectacular views.

97. You Are All That I Want
Give me you
tired and tattered
restless and weary
a heart that’s been shattered
Give me you
when you are less than tough
when you are not smiling
all your edges so rough
Give me you
when you can’t see the light
just open your heart
I will hold it so tight
Give me you.
You
are all
that I wantFeatured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

98. The Marching Heart
in Short Poems
I believe the beating in our hearts
was put there to remind us
that even when we feel alone in the world,
a part of us marches on,
that even at our lowest
we carry something inside of us
that we can lean on and turn to,
that even when there is no one else,
we always have ourselves.

99. Love Over Time
In cracked skin
and calloused hands
morning light
and greying hair
in memories
of the first touch
and the taste of lips
I love you here
I loved you there
I love you now
I loved you then

but our love will never endFeatured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

100. Hold Tightly To Your Smile
in Hope Poems
You get through the bad days
because you have no other choice.
There is nothing else you can do
but hold tightly to your smile
and try to stay positive.
Focus on finding happiness in the little things,
and making small achievable goals
for yourself to feel purposeful.
To constantly remind yourself
that it could be worse
to make yourself feel better.
Giving up is not an option.
Crying all day is not an option.
Losing yourself is not an option.
You have to remember that
it is going to be ok.
It always is eventually.
You got this.
