Get Out



There's still time
 Don’t give in…
Time…
To reach out and
   again begin.

Accept your shadows,
    Bury your fears,
Release all burdens,
    Take up the flight.

Do not give up
    for this is life.

Continue the journey,
Pursue your dreams,
Unlock time,
Swim in the sky.

Don’t  give up, please do not
Although the cold burns,
    and the fear hurts.
Although the sun is hidden,
    and the wind does not blow,
There's still fire in your soul
    Verve in your dreams.

A new breeze to breathe…

Because life is yours and so is that desire
Because there is wine and there are roses.
Because there are no wounds
 which time cannot heal.

Open doors
Remove bolts,
Leaving only the walls that protect you.

Live life and accept challenges
    Bring back your laughter,
Hum and sing a song,
    Loosen your passion
Unfold your wings
    And try again.

Celebrate this instant and return to heaven.
Because this is the time and the best time, the only time.
Because you're not alone, because I love you.

Yesss! That header, better than those piles of food! LIKE it, Dulce!

You took someone's poem and wrote it to yourself?
Amazing way to regain confidence, esteem, and realize that doom and gloom are NOT gifts from God

GRATITUDE for what we have is another way to climb out of the doldrums. It is suggested we write--yes, write down--those things we have for which we are grateful. Family, son, food, housing, friends, a job, , etc.

Girl, I hope you are Okay
And when all else fails--pray!

Really I enjoyed reading your arrangement of the words in this post. You are excellent writer.

You're like a cheerleader with a rallying cry...and, boy, do I need it. Since my friend left Wednesday morning, I've been on a crying jag...feeling old, weary, in pain, missing being actively employed in nursing.
