Rescue, You

Feb 27, 2010   //   by Eve   //   Blog, Poetry  //  1 Comment

Rescue you

Mind read your needs

Know your body better

Always fight back

Ask for it

Say you want it

Cherish your solitude

Take trains by yourself

To places you have never been

Sleep alone out under the stars

Learn how to drive stick shift

Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back

Say no when you don’t want something

Say yes when your instincts are strong

Even if everyone around you disagrees

Decide whether you want to be liked or admired

It’s easier to be mean than smarter

Decide if fitting in is more important

Than finding out what you’re doing here

Believe in kissing

Fight for tenderness

Care as much as you do

Cry as much as you want

Insist the world be better

Ask yourself these questions:

Why am I whispering when I have something to say?

Why am I apologizing every time I express my needs?

Pretending it doesn’t mean that much to me?

Why am I waiting?

Pining?

Fitting in?

You know the truth:

Sometimes it does hurt that much

But you can still feel love

This is an excerpt from “I Am An Emotional Creature”

YAY! Scale

I’m not promoting unhealthiness, we must make consciously “good” choices when it comes to what we replenish, (I use ‘replenish’ deliberately) our bodies with… BUT this is what I’m talking about! Ladies, don’t let a magazine dictate your beauty. Yours is one of a kind. Confidence is the most beautiful asset a female can possess. Let’s teach the next generation to love themselves so that they may pass it on to the next.


Commitment To Self

I am enough, what I have is enough

I have been blessed, to have received love

I make mistakes, to learn the value of a lesson

I am an evolving creature, who continues to develop

I will be grateful for moments, even as I watch them pass

I won’t await living to be effortless, I will value my edification

I needn’t be everything for everyone, to be special to someone

Judgment will not change me; welcoming opinions will help shape me

Ownership does not own me; the truest of treasures cannot be counted

Displaying gratitude must be maintained, thankfulness when seen and not seen

Acceptance of truth, faith in spirituality, acknowledge there is power greater than self

The Giver

Feb 8, 2010   //   by Eve   //   Blog, Evebutterflies, Philosophy, Poetry  //  3 Comments

The world has a thousand creeds, and never a one have I;
Not a church of my own, though a million spires are pointing the way on high.
But I float on the bosom of faith, that bears me along like a river;
And the lamp of my soul is alight with love for life, and the world, and the Giver.
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox
