Happy Birthday
You opened your eyes to flowers
Oldest daughter has fruit cups and oatmeal for you
Youngest has a card "Feliz cumpleaños a ti mamá"
I lay your gifts at your feet. We love you know its true
The heavens poured out an amazing gift this day
Brought fourth the reina de corazones
Youve brought a world of beauty with you
A beauty so deep it goes passed you outter appearance deep into the bones

Silver rose hair piece the girls got for thy

I owe so many sorrys
And I don't know where to start.
I've tried so hard just to have this all end.
Wanting my life back to normal
That isn't going to happen though
Maybe my anger comes from the things I wish I would've said
Or would've done when I had the chance. But being oblivious and self absorbed has always been my downfall. I ain't better than anyone. I'm trying to change. But that change isn't happening fast enough

I made plans
And it would be rude to break them.
I'm working
Working on me
Yes I think of you often
The glare outside the gates
Kills me deep, so fuckin deep
Like right through my soul
Deep.
But I'm not changing for anyone
Especially when the only effort they put out
Is showing up to glare and drive off........
And if that makes me a cunt?
Good....
Xoxo,
Diz
And to think, all you would of had to do was text, as you.

"To Be Someone's Angel And Saving Grace"
She would come into my life and change it forever.
When my heart would break, she wouldn't tell me to suck it in or suck it up, she would cry with me.
She would tell me "crying isn't weaknesses", that it's "okay to have emotions". With that I would grow, being strong in my emotions and being able to empathize with my friends enough to do the same for them and my future children.
She would lift me up.
She would play songs of inspiration, dance, laugh , be entirely weird with us as we were to her and give me my identity freely, without expecting anything back at all....

My Brother's Keeper
With warmth of
my hands
I shield his eyes
and
Cover his heart
this is true purity
of meaningful
absorption..
suddenly he says:
"Why is your
matter silently
howling, so loudly "
. ..because... .

Movie Date (getting asked out)
Do you want to go to the movies with me?"
'!...um...I...
I don't know. You...you, sort of seem like the kind of girl... who would buy a box of Sprees at the concessions stand?'
"Huh?"
'nothing. I just don't want to go to The Lion King.'
"Maybeeee a different movie then??"
'I really can't get over the Sprees thing at this point...'
"Why?!"
'I feel like you would spill them or something.'
"I'd pick them up though."
'and throw them away?'
"Well yeah, what else would I do with them?"
'you could...

The Truth About Goodbyes
Couldn't fathom such notions
While you held me in your strong arms
Dancing in the moonlight
Cat Steven's swirled in the air
Laughter and smiles filled
Your tiny cabin
Daddy's little girl
I wish I held you tighter
I wish you never left
Goodbyes are sprung
Upon us
And we are left
In sinking emptiness
I hate goodbyes
But how I wish
I could have back that
One night
Cherish your moments
For all is fleeting
And tonight
May be the night
Someone you love
May...
While you held me in your strong arms
Dancing in the moonlight
Cat Steven's swirled in the air
Laughter and smiles filled
Your tiny cabin
Daddy's little girl
I wish I held you tighter
I wish you never left
Goodbyes are sprung
Upon us
And we are left
In sinking emptiness
I hate goodbyes
But how I wish
I could have back that
One night
Cherish your moments
For all is fleeting
And tonight
May be the night
Someone you love
May...

do not call me by a word
i've become a cluster'd speckle in
his sight these last few hours,
so tonight; Ive been taking notes
on how his arms subdivide under
lens eye view to be touched
fingertips ..more than a voice
but caustic heartache refuses
to subside because no one told me desolate raw art come in shades
of bourbon and quartz off white
stars
yet learning this truth while sitting
here holding my brother frajile
hand-his chest expansions creates
a whole new optical spectrum

Giving up, now I want to live
Going form 120lbs and dropping to 170lbs and gaining.
From almost skin and bones to actually having muscle tone.
From loathing themselves at their very core, to actually liking who they are now, and are proud of themselves for doing things they never thought would be possible.
From wishing everyday would be their last and actively trying to kill themselves, to actually enjoying being alive.
From running away and hiding from every problem to facing them head on.
From giving up, to holding on.
From almost skin and bones to actually having muscle tone.

From running away and hiding from every problem to facing them head on.

Pride vs Self-Esteem
Self-esteem flows solely internalized.
Pride rides similarly internal but twists with a superficial slant.
When the id is puffed up with pride it greedily strokes the ego.
Self-esteem builds confidence while pride leads to arrogance.
Pride spins a feedback loop that suffers from gluttonous envy.
The more it feasts the fatter pride grows then craves ever more
to feed it's repetitious addiction.
Self-Esteem is everything!
It fills us with a healthy dose of confidence providing tools for personal success.
Pride thirsts for more than...
