persistence

an individual's journey on a path created all on her own

knowing exactly where she wanted to be but not how to get there.

she learned about herself and met a lot of amazing people along her way.

through successes and heartache, she found herself years later at her destination

completing every goal she set for herself

being exactly where she envisioned she wanted to be.

then she turned around and looked back to where she started.

she realizes the intensity of her will and persistence got her so focused on her own goals that

she failed to see how far it would take her away from the people who love her the most.

she realizes she has been so successful that she found herself by herself.

if i let you in

if i let you in, you become family

your needs become mine

if i let you in, good days feel twice as good,

there is a connection one cannot describe.

If i let you in, wherever we are, there will always be

a person who will always have your back.

If i let you in, bad times are made better,

your pain and hurt are shared.

There is no difference between friends and family on the inside,

the company is small but the love fills the room.

I am thankful everyday for my friends and family,

i just wish the walls were not so thick....

transitions

back in the same place i started last year.

one year older, and none the wiser.

a transplant from a land far away,

part of me here, part of me there.

made a pretty good nest for myself

not sure I picked the right place.

making connections, losing connections...

finding love, losing love.

my heart is weak, losing the fight

wanting so much to be loved while building walls.

does bad always have to follow good?

does pain always follow happiness?

wishing love was never found...

hoping it will find me.
