~~How Fragile We Are~~

How fragile life is... One never knows what my happen from one moment to another. This past friday an Associate I work with got a call at work and left in a hurry.. leaving even her purse behind because her husband had called her. The next morning we found out that she lost her life that night. Not from a car accident.. not from an illness.. But from an argument she had with her husband which led to him shooting her in the head and murdering her and killing himself. Another senseless death out of anger and hate. My heart and prayers go out to her children and family and I pray she has now found peace. I am humbled for I know that no matter how bad things seem in my life their is always someone, somewhere worse off then I am and I am thankful for all that I have been given and for the love I am blessed with.

"How Fragile We Are"

"Sting"

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one

Drying in the colour of the evening sun

Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away

But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant

To clinch a lifetime's argument

That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could

For all those born beneath an angry star

Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are how fragile we are

How fragile we are how fragile we are

~~Play Me While You Read~~

I sit alone in darkness with my eye's tightly closed and dream of white light surrounding me, embracing me, enveloping me. It seeps into every pore. Slowly making it's way throughout my body. I can feel it traveling like a current through my veins. The further it travels the more the darkness fades.

I yearn for the light, for so long now it has eluded me. I walk in darkness. My days pass out of survival alone. Sometimes the light seems almost in reach, I can almost feel its comforting warmth, yet most times the light seems to be so far away that it may never reach my soul. I struggle with the darkness fighting to break free. No matter how thick the deep vale is I never give up because I know someday I will succeed.

The darkness will evaporate in a blinding ray of light. The warmth will consume me and my soul will take flight. Creativity will blossom and words will no longer be afraid to soar. The white light of love and happiness is what I shall adore.

In it's warm embrace, the white light sets me free. For the first time in my life I can truly be, who I was always meant to be. With my wings stretched far and wide, I leap, I soar, I fly. Into the great unknown with a life I can now call my own.

~~This is my perfect day ... A day where nothing else matter and I can just be me... something I fight with all the time. A day where I am surrounded with positiveness, creativity, love and happiness. Where being bottled up all the time is not a way of life.. Just the freedom to be me.
