That Girl

She waited

that girl

for someone to notice

They will come

she said

to herself

in silent prayers

Someday

it will be known

One day

it will be shown

So she waited 

that girl

to begin

Older now

she walks so lonely

She is

troubled smiles

and trembling hands

Someone

must understand me

So she waited

for a man

One came

to steal her soul

One came

to steal her heart

One came

to cause the screaming

from her nightmares

in the dark

Now a woman

softly crying

in the night

so no one hears

No one came

and no one noticed

That girl’s

been gone for years

abuse abandoned trauma

Today’s Thought

Be kind.
Do this above all else.
If you read this,
and your heart is heavy.
Forgive.
First them, then yourself
for feeling this way.
Take a deep breath and be kind.
The world needs more of this.
We need more leaving harsh words unsaid,
more understanding,
more forgiveness,
and more kindness most of all.
Do as you’ve been created to do.
And as each kindness spreads,
it will act as a puzzle unfolding.
The picture of a new world coming together before your eyes.
A revolution of good will!
And all it takes to begin…
is to be kind.
It is as easy, and as difficult as that.

kindness love acceptance tolerance

"An intimate relationship does not banish loneliness. Only when we are comfortable with who we are can we truly function in a healthy way. Two halves do not make a whole when it comes to a healthy relationship: it takes two wholes."

"And if your daughter came to you, crying with hunger, would you tell her no? Would you tell her she is too fat, she wants to much, she must shrink into society? No.
Then why would you tell yourself the exact same thing? You are somebody’s daughter."
- Michelle K., You Are Somebody’s Daughter. (via e-ntre)

"I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our more stupid melancholy propensities, for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one’s very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away?"

"You don’t get abandonment issues from the people that have always been there for you, you get abandonment issues from the people who told you they would be there and never were when you needed them…."
