A little bit of tears,
A little bit of happiness,
A little bit of fear.
A little bit of laughter,
A little bit of tears,
A little bit of happiness,
A little bit of fear.

You already are.
Look at what you've made it through.
The wounds of your past have healed.

A sunflower will grow
With much beauty to show,
But the wind must blow,
Which brings the rain and the snow.
A match was struck that ignited the flame.
Now ashes and rubble are all that remain.
Defeated, she's left standing alone,
Times will get rough and sometimes tough,
Where you may say that you have had enough,
Where you may fall and need a lift,
Where the hurt of your pains may leave you stiff.
Take a step back,
Learn how to breathe.
Take a step back
And just be.
This was a beautiful poem about taking control. I deeply enjoyed this, especially because at the moment, I am going under quite a large amount of stress. There is a huge exam that includes...
She wildly dances
to the beat of her own heart
a strong and fearless protector,
she’s hauntingly beautiful
At birth,
she was strong.

This is very similar to my younger sister. About 2 years ago she was really sick. I look back on pictures of her before she was diagnosed (T1D) and I can't believe I didn't notice something...
Can there be anything more lovely
Than the beauty of a tree?
Her leaves shimmering in the wind,
Dancing so gracefully.
Famous Poem
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
If Paul Laurence Dunbar were still here on earth, I'd tell him how wonderful those words were in his poem called Sympathy. A bird needs to feel the wind beneath its wings, for the freedom...

Just because you don't like what I've become,
Just because you don't like me,
I'm 13 years old and I'm bisexual. My family is Christian and nobody knows but my sister. She's bi also. I wanna tell them, but I don't know how they'll react.
Who is that man?
Staring back at me
Is he a part of my past?
Or who I am destined to be?
Dude, I understand completely. Sometimes I don't know who I am or who I'm supposed to be.
We all have a massive mountain to climb,
Especially those who've lost someone dear.
But climb that big mountain, we surely must,
If we are going to overcome fear.
Famous Poem
Courage isn't a brilliant dash,

Born of despair with a sudden spring
A single flash of a camera
And a moment frozen in time
Can never truly tell the tale
Of that child left behind.
Famous Poem
Defeat, my Defeat, my solitude and my aloofness;
You are dearer to me than a thousand triumphs,
And sweeter to my heart than all world-glory.
It takes a certain courage:
Just to be,
to fight for your happiness
I send anxiety
a cease and desist letter.
I close her mouth.
Unbind her gnawing disquiet,
Famous Poem
Your world is as big as you make it.
I know, for I used to abide
In the narrowest nest in a corner,
My wings pressing close to my side.
