I'll Get There

Alive!
Perfect love, innocence, laughter, kind, sweet, beautiful
Inquisitive, seeking answers, smart, intelligent

Confused, shaken sense of self
Tempered balance, careful steps now

Answers, love of life, beginning of the rest, careful new wisdom
Glee of success, faith, all the answers!


Crashing,
pain,
twisting heart
Illusions - illuminated
The light only shows blackness
Numbness,
broken,
afraid

Console myself / Protect myself / Compose myself
Anger, trust is gone, innocence is lost
Laughter is a lie
Kindness is impossible, undeserved, distinctly a farce
Sweetness is a game
Beauty is a toy, an entertainment, a hobby, a distraction
Questions are now for judging the guilty, instead of searching for truth
No longer seeking answers, seeking excuses instead:
The new definition of

Intelligence

Pride,
success,
control
Mentally Sharp!
The heart:  Empty / The soul: Alone / The mind: Bored / The body: Restless
Untrusted and untrusting:
The new definition of

Peace

Life ...yet not Alive


Feel my scars
Remember the pain
Open my eyes
Look into the many eyes of the world
Feel their scars
Tentative,
worried,
wonderment!

At last: True wisdom
Surprise, tender, fearless in all of the unknowns
Serene in the knowledge of my own limits
At last: My own beauty
At last : My own blessings
Love, while never lost, is found.
It begins and ends with Him and with me
I rejoice in His marvels around me, His boundless gifts
All of His Creations, all of Us
In our Alone / We are Together
At last…
Beautiful, sweet, kind, laughter, innocence, perfect love
Alive!

    This is something I can relate to, although everyone goes on through life some may never experience what others have and will not be able to comprehend it's meaning they will have to learn one way or another, I love these lines:
    "The heart: Empty / The soul: Alone / The mind: Bored / The body: Restless
    Untrusted and untrusting:
    The new definition of

    Peace

    Life ...yet not Alive"

    it's the perfect definition of being lost, alone and cautious of things and people and not living it without putting yourself out there in just a few simple words, this truly is something beautiful. Thank you for sharing~
