#MyLifeAsAHuman - Entry 2014- Phoenix Rising

I told her to come to me and she did. Bare and naked without any veils of false promises or deceit.

She opened her arms to me and embraced my weary head...
Rested it against her bosom...
Telling me to hush... Hush Chile.... Hush...

You with sad eyes and dark thoughts.... You with the soft lips that curve too easily with a smile... You with the words all wrapped up in your head... Itching to come out on your paper through your pen...
You with the heart you know not that you wear on your sleeve... Hush. And rest... Put that busy mind to sleep...

Let your temples relax as you breathe me in and out... Let me fill your senses with relief as I help you to escape....

Know that you are beautiful when all you see is ugliness. Know that you are brilliant when you are feeling less than Einstein....
Know that your flaws are the most alluring when you are open to showing them...
Hush and rest upon this bosom built for your tears...
Let them flow and fill me with your sorrows, your fears and... Insecurities.

Fill me so that you may empty yourself of all these things that hold you down and you let, hold you back.
Fill me continously and forever, so that I may take your story and add the chapters to my own...

Let me share you with the others who are yet to come and learn.
Draw their footprints along the veins leading to my chest, my heart.
Breathe into me and let go, release all these trappings and burdens.

Let me take my wings and give them to you, so that you may finally stop running away from yourself...
And with time and practice and self belief, you will use these wings to soar... So high and effervescent... That my breath will leave my lungs and I will radiate in your splendour...

And I will die from sheer joy and be reborn with wings made of flames and resurgence... That will embrace you and be the wind that continues to carry you... So that you will never tire.

And I will watch you light up the skies in all your glory... Finally. In your truest form. And at last I will be at rest.

#MyLifeAsAHuman - Entry# 984 - My Symphony

I'm sitting here gazing out into a world of possibility and purpose and I chide myself for being a coward sometimes. I get mad at myself for doubting as much as I do, for hesitating and finding excuses. I look back and remember when I was a fearless dreamer, blatant in my belief, obnoxious in my certainty.... And I wonder.... Where did she go? Where did that girl go? Was she killed off by cynicism? Knocked down by reality.... Captured by adulthood? Defeated by life?... I shake my head, for it is better than hanging it in shame. I steady myself for the mourning of my past self.... And I think... Am I but a shell of my former self? Void of truth and inspiration? Am I so empty a vessel that my noise is nothing but a deafening yet unnoticeable silence?... These are my fears that nip at my confidence, that drown my rising strength. These are the fears I hold on to, to feed my pity party and excuse myself from wanting... From dreaming... From doing. These are ...

#My Life as a Human - Entry #13 - Dreamer's Declaration

I have all this nervous energy coursing through my veins. I can feel anticipation, anxiety, fear, restlessness...and Serenity? My mind boggles at the body's capacity to withstand so much at the same time, in a matter of mere minute seconds, balled up and ready to explode. How is this possible? Why is it possible? My mind races, so much to do, so much to get done. My dreams are no longer secrets, my dreams are no longer 'dreams'. They have morphed, capsized and regained consciousness. Life has been breathed...resurrected... I have dreamed, no! I have breathed (exhales) life into my dreams. Finally. Finally I am no longer an escape artist. An escapist of my dreams, of my fears, of failure, of rejection. Finally I am a dreamer realized. Recognized. No longer hospitalized. No longer imprisoned. I have done what was once thought impossible. I have set fire to my dreams. I have let them out and commanded, no! Demanded, that they roam free and wide and fierce! I have declar...
