Embracing your Flaws

Image
I read something recently and i have to admit it touched me in many ways. It reads ‘I’m keeping my broken parts, it reminds me that falling doesn’t always hurt, scars aren’t always ugly and perfection is overly rated ' In an attempt to attain perfection, we end up chasing pavements; we try to fit in into some other person’s shoes, shoes that weren’t made for your own feet. If God wanted you to be like someone else, he would have made you that person, its crazy how much people out there thrive, work hard to be somebody else. Have you thought about putting that energy into making yourself better? Have you thought of putting that effort into loving your own self? Embracing your flaws instead of covering them or pretending they aren’t there? Flaws are beautiful. Trust me it isn’t easy loving those parts of yourself you dread but that’s where your true strength lies, that’s how you discover what you’re made up of, that’s how you find what makes you glow and at the end of the ...

For tonight

Image
For tonight let’s lie together and act like the world is safe. For tonight let’s hold hands and pretend like everything is perfect. For tonight let’s be crazy and live and act like it’s our last For tonight let’s get drunk and act like kids For tonight let’s get high and talk about dreams that didn’t come through Let’s reminisce and pour our hearts out For tonight let’s not be ourselves, let’s go wild like orchids Let’s shine in the dark like fireflies Let’s spread our wings like eagles Let’s see farther like owls Let’s glow like glitters and when the night is over let’s be us again But for tonight, let’s lose it and when tomorrow comes, for it will, we would welcome it with open arms and live forever.

You are beautiful

Image
You're beautiful, you would not know because your idea of beautiful had been tainted by the world's standard. You're beautiful, you do not see  cos u are blinded by the type of beauty the society portrays.  You're beautiful, u cant tell cos in your chase for perfection you've forgotten what beautiful really is.  You're beautiful, you cant hear it cos u really have lost it. Your eyes cant see it, your ears cant hear it, your mind do not recognize it; it cant even comprehend it.  You want the scars of perfection, honey it is not real. How can you not see its just for the papers. How can you not see you are so perfect, yet so blinded by the perceptions of others. You should know the girl in the magazine does not even look like the girl in the magazine, its all for the glitters.

Crawling

Image
Maybe happiness isn’t for me, Maybe I’ve perfected the art of faking it that i don’t even recognize the real Maybe I’m used to the clouds covering my blue skies Maybe I’ve come to accept this reality and that’s why i have survived this long.   It’s not loneliness, no It’s not even sadness But for the umpteenth time i tell myself, This void is too heavy to bear. I have to remind myself to breathe every time, This can’t be it, there’s more, and there’s always more. And honey, you’ve got to breathe cos even if you crawl, you need to move forward.

I just want to

Image
I just want to go places with you. I want you to love me like you loved her. I want you to stare like me like i see you staring at her, just for once i wish that when i turn to stare at you, i will catch you staring at me. Why does this feel so empty? Why does it feel like lost moments, why can’t we be dreamers; why can’t you be happy with me like you were with her? Why can’t i be everything you want? I never asked to fall in love with you, i never asked for this pain; i never asked for this hurt, i don’t want this sadness in my heart. No matter how much i wish it away it never leaves. You’ve become toxic to my mind; I’m a mess and not the beautiful kind. I just want you to see me, really see me; can’t you see I’m so easy to love? Can’t you see i could be your happy ending? Is that too much to ask for?

She was never yours

Image
Truth is you just needed someone to make you feel good about yourself again. You just needed somebody to help you believe in yourself again. You just needed somebody to make you feel better about your miserable life and that you do in fact deserved to be loved. And as soon as that happened you left her. Her work was done. And just like that you were totally over her. And just like that you were suddenly ‘ready’ for a relationship. Not with her, but with someone else. She was just someone who helped you fill the void and empty spaces of she who must not be names. But then how come she failed to realise this every time you mentioned ‘her’ in your conversations? You would tell her it’s because you wanted her to know every event that took place in your life. And she understood. She now knows you were never hers in the first place.

You will miss her

Image
 You’re going to miss her. You’re going to miss how she smiles when she’s happy; you’re going to miss watching her smile shyly when told how pretty she looks. You’re going to miss that glint in her eyes when she talks about her passion.   You’ll miss how she smells, how she looks when she just rolled out of bed. You’re going to miss that look on her face when she’s trying to figure out the chaos in her head. You’re going to miss how much she cared and how she put you first in her life. You’re going to miss the 3am conversations, you’re going to miss how happy she made you, and she was your holy grail. And when you do, it will feel like a gut punch because it will hit you and u will realise what you threw away. You walked away without as much as a second glance; you suddenly decided she wasn’t good enough.   You walked away and didn’t look back, walked away with broken pieces of her. Oh but you will miss her.
