You spend so long wondering and asking "How can anyone love me?" And you counted your flaws but didn't have any fingers left for strengths And when someone finally said they loved you all you could ask was "Why?" Instead of you telling them that you loved them, too.

He told me I was special. Did he mean it? Or was I just a fool. A fool to believe him. A fool to let him back in. Do I regret it? Part of me does and the other part does not. Should I keep trying or let it go?

Stars Do you ever get jealous of the stars? How they have their own little light, And so many #poems written on how they twinkle, The fact that they have their own little body When seen from this distance But still they are the reason for the beautiful night sky. Do you ever feel jealous, Of how people make wishes on stars? Don't you want to be a native of the sky, And shine?

#life is so dull So worthless and so small Until you call. The rays of sunshine fill my soul—and I am whole.

Paradise, It Speaks To Me And so the boat began to move, The motor leaving behind a trail. I began to gaze at the nature circling me, All alone yet surrounded by many Paradise It speaks to me. So small, yet so full of #life, Doors painted red, Windows painted white. The sweet smell of the water, The tingle it brings to your feet, The smiles of the children, The sound of the creek. I knew it was the place for me to be. The sun awoke As did it. Looking at him tinkled my eyes, The smoothing scent of ocean breeze, Brought me to smile and think of many things. The look of roses, The sound of gulls The sea was calling me I felt oh so at home.
