Poem Alert: Keep Going

complex, tired, pushing, searching

I am complex, and have many dimensions to my wholeness

I am tired from the heartbreak of a world unfair

I push each day to make the world better

constantly searching for truth

to be whole is to be complex

to be whole is to be tired

to be whole you have to wake up each day fighting – pushing, searching

I might not care about whether there is a god, or is not a god

but I am for damn sure – I have faith, in the beauty and possibilities of the world we live in.

Poem alert: New Beginning

I like to write, what I call, poems. Others might call it rambling or randomly collected phrases. Nonetheless, I plan to start posting them on the blog. Might even go old school and post some cute ones I wrote in the prepubescent phase.

one day at a time

one set

one second

one breath

one bite

it all starts with a moment you decide to change

you decide to live

to not give up on yourself

my weight is a challenge

its physical

its emotional

its mental

its everything

it is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life

yet I keep on going

Today I am choosing to start new

I know this will not be my last do over, my last relapse

this is my first moment to learn who I am

to grow up

to be the woman I want to be

for myself

for ME

this is one of the moments I am changing

the physical weight is just one part of my journey

what else will change along the way

Poem: New Beginning

one day at a time

one set
one second
one breath
one bite

it all starts with a moment you decide to change
you decide to live
to not give up on yourself

my weight is a challenge
its physical
its emotional
its mental
its everything
it is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life
yet I keep on going

Today I am choosing to start new
I know this will not be my last do over, my last relapse

this is my first moment to learn who I am
to grow up
to be the woman I want to be
for myself
for ME
this is a moment I am changing
the physical weight is just one part of my journey
what else will change along the way
