Your Love is not to be conditional
Your Love is not to be compromised
Your Love is not to be manipulated
Your Love is not to be taken for granted
Your Love is to be celebrated
Your Love is to be secured
Your Love is to be reciprocated
Your Love is to be loved
Love yourself enough to know this
Your Love is worthy of all you desire
[12.30.2020]
You can’t tame every heart to love as you do.
You can’t tame every soul to feel as you do.
You can’t tame every body to give as you do.
Our expectations are not reality.
Our expectations are not the end all.
Our expectations are not promises.
We cannot ask someone to speak, if we are not ready to listen.
We cannot ask someone to give, if we are not ready to receive.
We cannot ask someone to know, if we are not ready to tell them.
Be kind to yourself, you are worthy.
Be kind to yourself, you are loved.
Be kind to yourself, you are seen.
I trusted you to not fall, but I allowed you to.
I trusted you to not project, but I allowed you to.
I trusted you to not mess up, but I allowed you to.
Every day is another day to look at yourself and recognize,
You still have time to grow.

Have you looked in the mirror today?
Did you like who was there?
Did they give you warm, fuzzy feelings
Or did you not recognize them?
Did you speak power to the being
Or did you break them down to shreds?
Did you say I love you
Or did you say I hate you?
What would it take to find happiness in the mirror?
What would it take to bring love to your eyes?
What would it take to bring prideful thoughts instead of lies?
Have you looked in the mirror today?
Did you like what you see?
If not, close your eyes and repeat after me
“I, (your name), am me.
I am love.
I am free.
I am worthy.
I am change.
I am hope.
I am more than the negative image I see.
I am the beautiful soul that breaks down darkness with light.
I am me.”
Open your eyes.
Now, who do you see?

“Find the love you seek by first finding the love within yourself. Learn to rest in they place within you. That is your true home.”
Sri Ravi Skankar
It finally hit me today. I’ve know this phrase so well, quote it often, “Home is where the heart is.” But today, it resonated with me differently. I am home. I have put my “home” within other people to find. I thought my broken heart/home was to be filled with love from others and places. I am my home. I am my love. I am healing my own broken place.
These poems were of those previous thoughts.
He was like home
Loving, yet broken
Something I don’t like
But where I only felt safe
So to have him be
Is bittersweet
But just fine
Cause he’s not mine
He felt like home
But home is broken
And I don’t expect
Right from wrong
Sad but true
Home always makes me blue
I’ve moved away
From home
Many times before
Though one home
Will always be
There to stay
This home, his home
I have to leave again
But I can’t go back
My home will always
Be broken
Regardless of where it is
But I’ll always love
And miss home
It’s just time to be alone
[9.22.2006]
I want to be your foundation
Destroy those remnants of old walls
And build up from the ground
With love
Surround you with visions of clarity
This is your future home
Your safe place
Where you can be yourself
And loved for all the right reasons
Where you will be protected
From all seasons
I want to be the home you
Never had
To support
And lead you to happiness
The home we can create together
