Daydreaming

As I look up at the sky, 

and the radio plays, 

the clouds pass by,  

I put my finger to your face.

Enjoy the flag way, 

the patriotic poster stay, 

the statue save, 

and the bell made of clay.

Then the wheels turn, 

and I awake.

Sorry I was late...

I was daydreaming.

Encaged

Some people say that our ribs hold our hearts back from wandering. That they enclose our hearts, not allowing us to love wherever.

But that's where they're wrong. 

Our hearts weren't meant to travel around, constantly searching for the one. Our ribs enclose the heart, so we learn to stay where we are, let life lead us along naturally, and through that, find our person.

People

People come into our lives for a reason.

To love us, 

impact us, 

challenge us, 

guide us, 

or shape us as a person. 

No matter what the reason is, they have a purpose. So don't push them out of your life.

Inner Voices

There are voices that talk to us, but we shun them as we grow up, 

thinking that the world knows better than the voices in our heads.

Unsaid Goodbyes

We never got to say goodbye. 

 I guess that's because I made myself believe we would see each other again.

What a stupid mistake.

Cheers

Cheers to the people who fought hard and won their battles.

Unique

You are unique to yourself, 

no one else could replicate the person you have become, 

the actions you made and the thoughts you've never said aloud.

Everything is your own and no one can take that from you.

You are you.
