Poem: Settled About Being Unsettled

-

 

Settled about being unsettled, 

I moved forward in life;

Not possibly knowing everything 

And yet making strides.

I embraced what was coming

With wide open arms

For I knew the universe had me

Cuddled in its arms. 

Reassured it'd all be okay,

I kept moving forward in time;

Learning, evolving and readjusting 

As I walked my own path.  

Step after brave step, 

I found no despair, only pure love 

For I knew I wasn't alone, 

There were angels all around. 

I was always being guided and

I aligned with the beautiful light, 

That deep knowing that empowered me

To fully be me and unapologetically shine.

Breathe

-
It all started with the breath; the intake of air that filled our lungs and gave us life; the magical inhale and exhale that allowed us to embrace our existence on this earth. 'Just' air. We left the safety of water and cried because we were ripped from our ever-flowing home but, soon enough, we learnt that there was another element that gave us life and allowed us to be: air, the ethereal vehicle for our waking and being.  We’ve been breathing since the moment we were born and that is the only thing that distinguishes the dead from the living; breathing, being, the beautiful existence on this earth plane. Oftentimes, we take our breath for granted and forget its life-giving force; we forget that if we don’t fully breathe, then we are not truly living. Us, human beings, sometimes forget to wholly, deeply, lovingly breathe and, as a result, we feel constricted by life. The lack of air makes us feel trapped, claustrophobic and, at points, lost. Well, at least that’s how I have f...

Poem: If I Were to Die Young

If I were to die young, I’d be grateful for the whole of my life: The pains, the scars, the blessings in disguise; The ups, the downs and the shades all around. I’d be grateful for the smiles, the hugs and the laughs, The rainbows, the sun and magical dragonflies. If I were to die young, I’d look at the sky, I’d admire the hues of Blue, pink, and yellow one more time; I’d dance, skip and twirl around, Worry about nothing and marvel at this life. If I were to die young, I wouldn’t ask the universe ‘why?’, I’d trust in the perfect timing of this stunning, unique and blessed life; I’d say my goodbyes if allowed to do that And hug you all tight, tighter than tight. If I were to die young, I’d be proud and grateful that I’ve tried, Tried to learn, to grow, to love; Tried to help to make this world A warmer shade of bright. If I were to die young I’d melt into the sky, I’d play with...

Raw Anxiety Poem: My Demons with Myself

-
Image
I am used to sharing my demons with myself,  To not let them trouble anybody else;  I'm used to restraining them from jumping on people around And used to chatting to them at night.  I am used to hiding them behind the ‘ I’m okay ’ Not to ‘inconvenience’ people Or make them run away.  I know it’s not healthy, I know it's not great So for a long time I’ve deliberately worked On letting them see the light of day, No longer hiding them behind the ‘ All is well .’  It  is  hard work to deal with them, To negotiate, to give and take; To dance, to talk, to play with them.  Sometimes they’ll hide themselves For months on end,  I’ll breathe easily and forget our affairs.  Eventually though, They’ll come out and tear my head, They’ll unapologetically jump all around, scream away And state it’s that time again. They’ll never mean to hurt me though  But will always be that way Until I learn ...
