all is a mystery
awaiting discovery
the push for self-actualization
an essential drive
extending oneself to the highest
fundamental to our existence
without it
we cease to exist
at the very least – to thrive
Tag: maturity
Knowledge Comes
a person’s being
guiding kernels embedded
the truth trickles in
Extremes
Inspired by What do you see #298
burning hot with rage
awareness encompasses all
ice-cold knowledge
Developing
start as a blank slate
you have the time to appear
become your best self
Lessons Learned
Redux
It all hurts…
other’s cruel intentions
life’s accidental interventions
immature decisions
wounding by self-infliction
external forces not caring about consequences
But it gave me…
an understanding of people and boundaries
resilience in the face of catastrophe and tragedy
consequences and wisdom
pain to overcome
the determination to fight injustice
Life is hard but living is knowing how to keep the goodness thriving in it.

Feeling Safe
Redux
I long for the restful places
where the pain
is expelled or soothed
every thought on paper
brings a downturn of
painful emotions
an uplifting
into understanding
and peace
from hurtful emotions
a broadening
of my horizon
when I let go of
expectations
easing into serenity
and calm
finding
my happy place

Piering In
a stoic’s hard stance
barricaded against harms
letting in the light
So Proud
Redux
life tasked me
with motherhood
my answer
an enthusiastic acceptance
to comply
my heart grew up
and bigger with him
my life turned upside down
lessons learned changed
my future self
such a man now
a decent one
not a little big boy
he’s leading the charge
on the rest of his life
his determination
replaces my worry
his success now leads him
the torch is passed
with relief and validation
so proud

Remodeling
the pink inside
raw from introspection
doesn’t stop conscious reflection
fear makes an appearance
but with courage
it blossoms into inspiration
and with momentum
you become human nature’s legacy
Creation
Redux
memories of my yesteryears
my reflection a source of power
wisdom gained
propels me into my future
into peace
sometimes discomfort
but always forward
towards the refinement of myself
