DREAM, CREATE, INSPIRE
Expression of the mind and heart is one that is unique to all people. Respecting each other's ways of expressing themselves is the motto of the 21st century. We all show the world our persona every day through our actions and through our words. But in my point of view, the most relaxing and satisfying way to express my feelings is through writing. If it's my daily journal, poetry, fleeting thoughts, or just small pieces here and there. Everyone has the ability to feel but only some know how to truly express it in a way that is them in their essence. This blog/website/treasure chest is me. It's me in all its glory, in the way it's laid out, the way that it beckons the person, the way that it displays my emotions and thoughts for the world to read and hold dear to themselves, it's all an expression of my persona and shadow in one. This place is a safe place for everyone coming here but ultimately it's for me to be able to express myself and feel free while doing so. As you are a visitor here I hope you feel comfortable, I hope you find hope, sincerity, love, warmth, and solace in my words, and when you leave; leave with the knowledge that I will always be here for when, and if, you want to come back.
Forever present,

MY HEART
My heart that is beating
It's strange
The rhythm keeps me going
Yet it also annoys me
It's sound
Becoming energy
For others
Yet not myself
My heart
Flaming red
Yet cold as ice
For myself
My heart
That clenches
When in the middle
Of a crowd
It steps up
For any friend in sight
My heart
That paces
And walks
When talking to me
But runs and lunges
When it comes to someone else
My heart
Feels foreign
because it's not for me
But for everyone else
My heart
The reason I'm alive
The reason I am writing this
The reason I get to
Live
And breathe
And laugh
And smile
Only wants me to cry
It cries when I laugh
Yet it also cries when I tear up
Wish I could
Win its favor
Like many do so easily
Like strangers waste it on themselves
I too, want to feel its grace
Want to revel
And feel proud
And boast
For I got it to beat for me
Willingly
And not forcibly
My heart
Lives outside of my body
It lives in many people
It lives in art
It lives in ‘glory’ by Dermot Kennedy
My heart
And me
A long-term relationship
I stay loyal
Waiting
Anticipating
Regretting
Yet still believing
And my heart
Lives on
In anything but me
"you are all the colors in one, at full brightness"
