A Rose That Just Wants To Blossom
19 Feb 2025
In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
A maiden fair, with heart aflame,
Longs for connection, love's sweet way,
But guards her soul with thorny frame.
Like roses deadly, beauty rare,
Her outer form, a warning bears,
To those who dare approach too near,
Lest they fall prey to love's sharp spears.
Her eyes, like sapphires, dark and deep,
Conceal the longing that she keeps,
A secret pain, a hidden fire,
That burns within, a heart's desire.
Yet, though she yearns for love's warm touch,
She fears the hurt that it may clutch,
So wraps herself in thorns of might,
And warns away the morning light.
But still, she dreams of gentle hands,
That could unwrap her guarded stands,
And find the beauty, pure and kind,
Within the heart, so hard to find.
For though her exterior's rough and cold,
Her inner rose, a story's yet untold,
Of petals soft, and scent so sweet,
Waiting for one brave enough to meet.

A Seeker of Truth
16 Feb 2025
In a world filled with masks and pretense, staying true to a good heart feels like swimming against the tide. It’s not easy to hope for the best in others while refusing to follow their path, but I know it’s not in me to compromise who I am.
Somehow, I must learn to guard my heart and separate my emotions without losing myself again. It’s taken such a long journey to rediscover who I am, and now, I’ve finally found peace within.
They say balance is the key to life, but honestly, has anyone ever created something truly extraordinary by staying perfectly balanced?

The Power of Thought: Your Mind 🧠 is the Key to Healing or Suffering
12 Feb 2025
Your mind is the most powerful tool you possess. It shapes your reality, determines your emotions, and influences your physical well-being. Every thought you entertain plants a seed, one that will either grow into a tree of strength and healing or a weed of fear and suffering.
If you constantly dwell on negativity, your body will follow. Stress, anxiety, and illness often take root in a mind overwhelmed by worry and doubt. But the same mind that can make you sick has the power to heal you. When you shift your thoughts towards hope, gratitude, and possibility, your body responds. Healing begins when you believe in it.
You have the power to change your life by changing your thinking. Guard your mind, nurture it with positive beliefs, and watch as healing, success, and peace follow. 💫

Unstoppable Flame
07 Feb 2025
You have a fire, fierce and bright,
A beacon glowing through the night.
No winds can quench, no storms subdue,
The flame that lives inside of you.
So stand up tall, your soul ablaze,
Break through the clouds, defy the haze.
Take the leap, embrace the sky,
For you were born to soar, to fly.
This world was waiting for your spark,
To light the way when times are dark.
Unstoppable, you’ve always been,
A force unmatched, a light within.
Now go, and let your spirit rise,
Set fire to doubt, ignite the skies.
The life you seek, your heart will mold.
Go show the world your fearless gold.
