Atypical girl.
No makeup needed for her.
Is never easy.
You must be true to yourself.
You are unique and special…

“You know that one thing you’ve always dreamed about? Write it down. Then take the first step. Today.” – Petra Poje
Regret
Shadows of the past,
Ghosts whisper in quietude,
Choices linger on.
The Illusion of Tranquility
Silence is golden.
There’s nothing to worry about,
or at least,
that’s what you might think.

“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” —Andrew Carnegie
Complex is Love
Love is complex
It can bring happiness.
Or it can bring heartache
never knowing what it will bring
Take a leap and find out
No matter what, you are stronger than you think.
So keep going, even if it’s hard.
One day you’ll look back and smile,
Knowing you tried, and loved, and lived.
Tempest of Fury
A tempest unleashed,
Fire burns in clenched fists held tight,
Storm clouds filled with rage.

“Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.” —Bo Jackson
Seeking Closeness
Yearning for a touch,
In solitude, seeking warmth,
Longing for closeness.
Fury of the Flames
Furious flames burn bright & wild.
Smoky whispers dance, untamed and wild.
Untamed and wild
Heat dances, untamed
Volatile
Exiled

Horizon
Out over the horizon,
The sun paints the sky with colors surprisin’.
Amidst the Tempest
Rushing storm of thoughts,
Feelings flow like raging winds,
Nature’s fierce embrace.
Underneath the darkened skies,
Calm resides in chaos’ heart.
The Melody of Solitude
A lonely bird flies high and looks around.
Performing a perfect melody,
All stop to hear such a lovely sound,
They were happy, such a remedy.
Its notes danced softly, wild and free,
For now, the bird was not lonely.
Embracing the joy of harmony.
With every note, it soared high and boldly.
