ahhh okay i see what i did there sorry about that let me re-send the poem properly

a poem for thoses who feel like nothing will get better:

'Life wont always be like this, a mess
of colors of choices of decisions
youre too afraid to make. Your body
wont always feel like this, a collection
of fears of thoughts of memories
mixing together in the folds of your mind.

You are a person, a soul, a creation
made of muscles and matter that are stronger
than you could ever imagine.

Rest your worried head on my shoulder.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply, in out.
Remember everything is temporary—
and you wont always feel like this.'

'Peace is the sunshine, peace is the rain Peace is the joy, and peace is the pain Peace is the love that you feel in your heart Peace is the love thats been there from the start Peace is the gift we all have, to forgive Peace is understanding, were all still figuring out how to live Peace is letting go, and letting your heart grow Peace is in the moment, where you always can go Peace is in the flowers, the birds song so sweet Peace is the present, where your feet and earth meetPeace is letting go, of your past pain and sorrow Peace is letting go, of your fears for tomorrow Peace is in a smile, in a breath of fresh air Peace is inside you, it's always been there'

Follow Rivers

Lykke Li

Oh I beg you, can I follow?
Oh I ask you, why not always?
Be the ocean, where I unravel
Be my only, be the water where I'm wading

You're my river running high
Run deep, run wild

I, I follow, I follow you
Deep sea baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you
Dark doom honey, I follow you

He a message, I'm the runner
He the rebel, I'm the daughter waiting for you

You're my river running high
Run deep, run wild

I, I follow, I follow you
Deep sea baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you
Dark doom honey, I follow you

You're my river running high
Run deep, run wild

I, I follow, I follow you
Deep sea baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you
Dark doom honey, I follow you

I, I follow, I follow you
Deep sea baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you
Dark doom honey, I follow you

(song lyrics)

"A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl." — Stephan Hoeller

Invictus

By William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

Don't quit ( Edgar A)

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low but the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit...
Rest if you must, but don't you quit!

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many failures turn about
When we might have won had we stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow...
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out...
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when youre hardest hit
Its when things seem worst that you must not quit.
