Freedom Allowance

It's not you I lust.
It's not me you desire.

Acceptance is our mask.
Forever searching
what truthful eyes hide behind.

The brick coverings placed one above the next,
slowly imprisoning ourselves behind.

To accept love is to let love enter.
Make space by clearing out.


What need is a possession?
What purpose does it hold?


We cocoon ourselves with our own failures.
Waiting for a rescue.
How blind we are to our own strength,
our own determination.
Living our hell is numbing.

What is actual joy if we never allow ourselves to laugh?
What is actual pain if we have to inflict the hurt ourselves?

Loss is good,
ownership lifted.
Allowed freedom.

Let it go and fly.

Wanted & Welcome

Although we may speak the same tongue and wear similar markings,
that does not make you me and me you.

We are separated by our heritage,
by our intellect,
by our choices.

I represent myself as diverse and ever changing.
Never wanting to stay in one sense too long.
My chameleon skin translucent,
my body a mystery.

One thing is seen,
another lived.

My bird like reflexes make me take flight at a panicked notion.
Fly free young heart and find a new place to slumber.

Un-race that frightened heart
and breathe deeply for you have reason to keep your feet upon this soil.

You have reason to make marks on this earth.

You are wanted and welcome.

Words With Wings That Get Carried Away.

Fever of your passion,
red hot as the flames,
spread uncontrollably over everything you touch.
touch,
softest touch, gentle like a lady bug.
Sweet as a petal,
Tall as a waterfall,
uncontrollable like the wind.

Hardest hearts can still be broken, cracked, smeared.
When we take the time we notice,
notice,
notice the little things that we believe others don't notice.
the things we try to hide, but have too may roots to cover.
our burden we think we must carry,
so blind,
blind to the support.

Lean on those who are there,
their truth speaks through their eyes,
truth speaks through their eyes,
patience through their hearts,
hearts,
such happy hearts--fill happy eyes with joy
and mouths with laughter.
laughter.
It's in everyone to access,
let the motion take you.
Flow with the vibes,
flow.
marry the feelings, cause it's yours to keep.
keep it.
your heart, your passion.

Some Things Just Don't Matter

Why do we have to sit back and watch others struggle so hard? You feel their pain because you've had to go through it yourself already. It'll be worth it in the end for them but I have such a hard time not trying to help. I have so much admiration for these people, the scary thing is they may never make their way through it, they could be stuck in this stage for years, for far past the boundaries of our friendship. Not everyone knows how strong they really are, they don't have the resources to see the knowledge that is within.
We all hold the keys to our success. We are all strong, we just get held back by mental blocks, insecurity, confusion, distractions, stress. We hurt others because we ourselves are hurting. If everything is a reaction to something else, wouldn't you want to know the cause?
It's in our grasps. We often get discouraged by the immediate challenge that it represents, it fogs our outlook on the long term gain of going through the mess. If we run, we'll be running for life. Maybe some people are just born with a more spiritual connection that it allows us to see beyond the physical form of things, of society?!
It's one thing to obtain this knowledge and another thing to live it purely. The best thing we can do is let go, stop trying to control everything, get in touch with our inner energy. All the power you need is within, and it grows stronger and brighter the more light you give it.
I love my awareness. I look forward to constantly growing and learning. This will lead me in a positive direction, with hopes of it having a positive influence on others as well. I trust it will bring forth peace and calamity to my earth.
Challenge what we are told, not just on a physical/psychological level but on an inner connection with your being. If this is my form for this portion of my existence, whether this is truly where my story began or not, I intend to pass on all the love and positive essence unto others that I can. When you have that moment where you KNOW that you're intended for bigger purposes than just living your "life" until you pass on--then you'll understand some things just don't matter. It takes a long time to truly connect to your being and to understand it's language. My mistakes only bring me closer to understanding. I won't always second guess my feelings, and that's when the true magic happens.
Love finds us in all sorts of ways, you have to stop looking for it in one form. Mistakes of self in an inner place, by what we've been conditioned to by our society is in the physical world. We've got to stop fighting the natural order of things. Trust what is, what becomes. Love the real, love the unimportant, love the unloved.
Calm,
steady,
thoughtful reality.
White,
pure,
bright,
happy.

Love is not something we can give away. It is just there, always available--accessible.
Love the smallest things and the big things seem less important.

Sleep. Dream. Aspire.

we are all sleeping,
lost in a dream,
aspiring to escape our mental confinements.


Awake. Breathe. Walk Away.

awaken from our dreams,
breathe the true life
and walk away from the lies.


Truth. Realize. Accept.

be your true self,
Support others in their own realizations,
share by accepting
