Live with a smile
Live with a laugh
Live life to the fullest
And never by half.
Love your family
Love your friends
Keep the dear ones close,
Let it never end.
As life is too short to worry and fret,
What's "in" at the moment; blonde or brunette?
Let your light shine through & always be true
Remind yourself, "there's nothing I can't get through."
Follow your dreams, don't lock them away,
And I know that this poem is such a cliche...
But when a loved one passes, you truly realise the meaning of family; and the value...

Disconnection was always the word.
The word that pulled me away from family or everything
My life turned into a spiral, nothing focused, everything blurred
Being dangled in front of perfection on the thinnest of strings
The most beautiful of all lights shun upon your face
As I watched you bow your head in dismay and disgust
Thoughts running in my head “just pull him into your embrace”
I needed to gain your trust.

I had to have you there was no other way
To see your perfection each and every single day
To hear you say once more, I’m never walking...

I can feel my heart beating, out of my chest.
Overwhelming emotions cloud my mind
Some days I feel cursed, some days I feel blessed,
No logical thinking, my mind is just blind.

It’s all on repeat, like a broken record player,
Memories like these never seem to fade,
So before I rest my head I say a little prayer,
To hope that one day I will not be afraid.

Not to be afraid of those voices I hear,
No longer have to live in fear.
To smile as soon as I wake,
To know that my happiness isn’t fake.

It will happen one day, I promise it...
