Restless nights
the tired body
of an overworked mind
racing thoughts
subconscious longings
alone in bed
ideas take root in my head
clarity comes
revealing itself slowly
like a dawn breaking the horizon
when slumber is fleeting
I obtain the peace I seek
‘fore if I quiet my mind
and listen closely
I hear God speak

I wish I didn’t know…
that one day every living thing must one day go
back to the dust from which it came.
I wish I didn’t know…
that sometimes people don’t get healed
and pain unleashed reveals itself in an avalanche of tears.
I wish I didn’t know…
That cancer is a monster and not just a sign of the zodiac
it doesn’t respect persons old or young and runs you ragged and tortures you before it’s done.
I wish I didn’t know…
friendships don’t always last until you grow old
sometimes death severs it’s hold.
I wish I didn’t know…
Life will give you bitter with the sweet
and bad things sometimes happens to the good folks you meet.
I wish I didn’t know…
That grief can last forever, it’s coping mechanisms that change
When you lose someone you love,
life is never quite the same.
I wish I didn’t know.

We’ve all been there and done that, played the fool that is. Left you wondering if you could have plead temporary insanity during that span of time.
Left you questioning yourself and your ability to pick a worthy mate. Nothing to beat yourself up for, every lesson is a blessing, even the ones you perceive as failed.
Past relationships teach us as much about ourselves as it does other people, well if we are honest with introspection it does. You have to honestly look inside to discover why you were attracted to people in your past.
Oftentimes, if we do not work through traumas or voids in our childhoods we wind up attracting those same type of people in our adolescence and adulthood. It is said you attract what you reflect. So if you want to attract better, reflect better. And yes, it can be that simple.
When you truly and thoroughly love yourself you will refuse to be in a relationship that does not mirror your self love and who does not reciprocate your effort.
You will learn to grow through what you go through and become better because of it. Heartbreak can be rough, but allow it to make you better not bitter.
Sometimes we have to lose in order to have room to gain. Keep pushing!
