AN ISLAND UNTO MYSELF

Do you ever feel alone?

No one listens to you.

No one understands your problems.

Thoughts rumble through your brain

but you have no one to share them with.

I might as well be on a desert island

with only water around me for miles.

A desert island all to myself.

LIMTED ACCESS

Our view of the world is limited
to what our minds
can see and understand.
As we look out at the world
with our human eyes,
it’s as if we’re looking through
a small and narrow keyhole.
A keyhole that lets in only
select sights and sounds.
We should not be so comfortable
and arrogant with our lives,
for we are just specks in the universe.
Specks that are allowed only limited access.

THE ONE CONSTANT IN LIFE

THE ONE CONSTANT IN LIFE

We stand alone.
No one can truly understand us
or what we feel.
We have our own life experiences.
We make friends and get married,
but no one can enter our minds,
enter our complex thought processes.
We can share our life with others,
but at the end of the day,
we truly stand alone.

During our lives, we all go
through metamorphosis.
We change daily.
Some days, we look in the mirror
and don’t even recognize ourselves.
But deep down, we are the same,
we are who we are and nothing or
no one is going to change that.
So remember to be yourself
because that is who you are
destined to be.

MIRROR IMAGE

What do you see when you gaze at your own reflection?
Are you pleased with what you see? Is it a mirror image of what you are inside?
Reflections could be deceiving.
Houses may appear cheerful and colorful on the outside, but what about the people who live in these homes? Are they happy or are they sad?
The sky may appear calm at night, but a storm may be soon approaching.
The mountains stand proud and tall, but they might be treacherous to navigate through.
Once our shells are peeled away, we might not like what we see.
