Expressions

---

I am still easing into expressing myself in the form of writing. Confidence resurfaced, once I stepped out of my comfort zone. This has been a new journey of no longer searching for validation externally, but within. I affirm myself that I am worthy of the goals and love that I desire for myself. When I look in the mirror I don't see a perfect reflection, more so, I see a woman evolving and becoming who she desires to be.

You are confident,

At one point you looked in the mirror and saw something less than what you were.

From head to toe you are a queen.

You have left the nest from that comfortable space

holding your head down.

Now you walk in an embrace of beauty and

Confidence.

You care for those around you.

Openhearted is how you enter a friendship.

You embrace your natural state as a woman

You are an independent woman, finding your way and owning your strength,

You have been determined to push through the obstacles

and hold your head high.

You take pride in having a Noble integrity

Educated in your pursuit of happiness.

Unique with style and grace

A confident woman that is

You

In my late teens and twenties I strongly desired to be wanted and loved. However, in the search, there came relationships that did not serve me. The red flags were swinging as if in a parade. However, I often ignored the signs. In the result, heart pain and trauma was created.

Toxic

I thought we were a twin flame.

Connected intertwined and meant to be

Instead we were wild fire

Not of passion

but a spark of a flame that spread insane

I sit back and see the blue and orange dancing in pain

Trying to figure out who was to blame

flames get bigger feeding off the chaos and insecurities,

Two lost souls

Lungs filled up with so much smoke

I could not breath

Stop

Drop

And Roll

As a way of escape

Fire out

‘Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. ' (Prov. 22:6.) This scripture resonates with me today like never before. I was raised in the Christian Faith, church on Sundays, youth choir, and vacation bible school. As the years passed, I realized that my relationship with God was not in alignment with His will for my life. This past year I have had the conviction in my heart to allow him to lead my life. Like us all as believers, I fall daily, but my heart’s treasure wants to hear, “Well Done, Thy Faithful Servant”.

Well Done

Well done thy faithful servant

Are the words I want to hear

Raised to believe

Life has shown that it was You all along

Guiding me

Covering me

And showing grace

For that I want to be

Upright

Dedicated

And steadfast

For you

Well done thy faithful servant

Is not longer a distant desire

Not perfect

But striving

To hear the words ‘well done thy faithful servant’

Anxiety and overthinking has taken up space in my life for many years. I am grateful that I do not have the same triggers that enable me to go down a rabbit hole, but those moments still find comfort in my mind. I have learned I have to speak to that negative thinking, and ask myself if these thoughts and false scenarios align with my well being and purpose? Every time I am intentional with not sitting in that anxiety, the closer I am to taking control over my time and thoughts.

It's Me

Leave me alone, stop talking

I have too much shit to do then listen to

You

Kids and work

But

I have to listen to you about a conversation

from last week

Trying to Convince you,

that you are healing and growing

I'm tired of this relationship

I need to break free

But how can I break away from

Me

I find gratitude that I have learned to embrace my own company, and I am proud of the woman that I am becoming. I am in no rush, but finding that I am ready for a romantic love. No longer lusting, but praying for my future husband. As well as asking God to prepare me for the wife that he will need, and praying that he will be my Boaz. Praying that we will connect together in life's journey, loving each other in a way we have never experienced.

Will you have me at hello

Sweep me away

take me away

make love

Plant seeds of love

Affirm me

Heighten my healing

with your love?
