Make It Happen (poem)

We are not damaged or broken,

we are simply breaking out of the shell

to become better versions of ourselves.

Stop trying to fix it, let it be.

We live and we learn through experience,

love and loss will always be a part of that.

You have to decide when it is the right time

to pick up the pieces and keep moving forward.

When that day comes, it will feel wonderful.

Like the chains have been broken,

your soul has been freed from the pain,

and all you can see is the light.

Believe in yourself and stand strong

because it is your life, take control.

Dream, set goals, make a wish, have a plan

but most of all, make it happen.

Life Goes On (Poem)

Eventually,
the nightmares will turn into dreams,
the pain will turn into strength,
and the fake smiles become real ones.

Tears will remain tears, for sadness or joy.
Fear will fade and courage will take its place.
Wings will heal and chains will break.
The heart will mend as it remembers freedom.

Breathing in, taking it all in
breathing deeper as it floods the mind.
Breathe out, letting it all go.
Leaving only memories of what was.

Time,
no longer for the past,
nor spent on the future,
but only for right now is the most important.
