Life deals us with the toughest lessons, but are they given to us because the creator above knows that we can handle them and some more?

Dark days seem so dark and seeing the light so very far away, makes us want to give up or give in. The darkness surrounds us that sometimes that light can’t be seen.

Your heart feels broken and you feel as though there will be no repair to this brokenness.

Love is blue as the sky

But love is sometimes as darks as rain clouds.

At first, it’s mostly blue,

With no clouds, no arguments.

Then as the rain comes, it becomes confusing.

With light gray clouds and small arguments,

Opinions too.

At last, when it has been raining for a while, the storm stops.

Every opinion and argument breaks up like the storm clouds.

And we go back to being loved.

Then the...

Healing is a glacier that creeps

And melts

Until it suddenly

breaks

The sky was blue today

And laughter wasn’t forced

Despite last night

Drinking myself to sleep

What’s the difference

Between a glacier and a tundra?

One has a destination

And it looks like I finally processed

That I found mine

Ah! This glacial lake is frigid

...

I walked through life in quiet despair,

The weight of the world, too much to bear,

But in my heart, a flame did burn,

A lesson of hope I was yet to learn.

I heard a voice, from within the skies,

‘’ I’m here, my child. Now dry your eyes.’’

It left me breathless, I must confess.

For in that moment, I was blessed.

I saw the darkness start to fade,

As faith within me rose and stayed,

It whispered of...

Being alive had never meant anything to me,

The world looked grey,

The sunset, though beautiful, looked as if it had no ray.

I felt as though I had no purpose,

Being alive felt draining,

I was completely miserable,

In my heart, I felt this unexplainable aching.

But then I met someone,

Someone who gave me a reason to live for,

Someone who was my motivation to get up in the morning,

Someone who ga...

Ten years of fighting cancer…

Tears puddle in her eyes, she smiles.

…

Her name is Rivers. She was diagnosed with cancer at the age of five. Since Rivers could remember, she was in a hospital. She was taught there, raised and even made friends there.

At the innocent age of seven, her mother dropped her off after Dairy Queen blizzards trip and never returned. Broken and confused, Rivers waited f...

His eyes have never looked so brown and his skin has never felt so smooth

My smile has never reached so far and I’ve never fallen so soon

All I see is him

Sitting there across from me

Completely oblivious

To the way my heart’s been pounding

The whole world seems so perfect and still

And the sky has never looked so blue...

I opened my eyes and breathed again

Finally free, finally myself without pain

No more nurses, no more bed

No more voices in my head

I looked around and breathed it all true

And the sky never looked so blue...

I opened my eyes

I have been asleep for a while

For how long?

I do not know

I have tomorrow

Yesterday I did not have tomorrow

I have today

The sounds are inviting to me

And the sky had never looked so blue....

Life is a constant.

It goes on and on and on

Even if it’s witnesses don’t.

This is a needle in my side, relieving me of pressure while also paining me.

The tears I shed are over a loss I’ve not yet suffered

But please, offer your condolences.

I sit here writing while the sun burns my skin

I try and make metaphors

Out of the ordinary

A pretentious I label as profound, so do others.

This life’s...
