Fresh emotions

Whatever you do,
Don't disappear on me
Don't fade away
Like the apparition you might be

Your skin on mine
is too good to be real
I can't yet believe
everything I feel

Your lips on my neck
cause sensations so thrilling
you can ask me to be yours;
I'm all too willing.

Curled up next to you
your heartbeat matches mine
I fail to find the words
for a moment so divine.

Truth and Discovery

All the facets come together
like a stained glass window
tiny jagged edges of a smooth picture
easy to see, but difficult to know

Fleeting glimpses of forms yet to be
dance along vision's reach
tantalizing hints of lessons
to learn and to teach

An untamed attitude
natural, wild; free
breaking through the fear
embracing what will be
through the shadows, light falls
upon the true me

Challenges and changes

Even when everything is going right, a balance must be maintained.
For every great day, there is a horrible one.
For every terrible occurence, there is an amazing one.

I feel extremely lucky at the moment; everything is pretty good right now (to say the least)
Yet challenges throw themselves in my path that remind me that even if I am on the right track, I'll get run over if I just sit there.
I can't settle for "good enough" or "better than those around me". It's a lot to expect, but I keep my expectations and my goals high. I always have.
I must achieve the best that I possibly can. Sometimes, it still won't be good enough.
Sometimes, I will exceed others' expectations yet not meet my own.

It's stressful, there's no doubt about that. Many times I find myself repeating "I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing..." But, I'm getting better at asking for help when I run face first into brick walls.
I'm so sure of what I want to do in the future that I occasionally forget what I'm doing now. This isn't a momentary challenge that I have to get through in order to get to where I want- this is my life as I make it. Every day, every moment, every second is a choice. I choose to be positive. I choose to take even the hardest challenges head on with a strong heart.

I've been told that I have an attitude; that I'm strong headed. Damn straight I am- I won't get pushed around by your bullshit, I know where I'm going. If you get in my way, I'll try to avoid you nicely, but I will get past you. I'm a peaceful person, but I'm steady in what I believe in. Above all else, I believe in myself. I have faith in what I can accomplish. I know I will make a difference.
I already am.
