About Me

My photo
I'm basically just your average teenager.. I have a passion for writing and actually work for our town's local paper. I'm working on a book at the moment called "Beneath the Ashes." It's about a girl battling an eating disorder.I'm not sure when it will be finished - probably a long time from now since I am so busy. Anyway, if you want to get to know me better, keep on reading. I'd like any comments, criticism, etc.

Your world closes in on you,
Leaving you without anything,
And not knowing what to do.
You’re stranded,
Stuck in a circle of confusion.
The only thing you can do is lose it.
Lose yourself.
Lose your mind, lose focus.
You lose all you have,
You let go.
Swallow the bitter seeds of your past,
And let those painful memories go.
It’s hard to believe,
But there’s hope for you.
There’s hope for us all.
You’re trying to find yourself,
Who you are.
But, you lose yourself along the way.
The road is long,
The pavement is hot beneath your feet.
Don’t stop,
Don’t be distraught.
For, there is hope.
You will find a way.
When you don’t feel loved,
Look to the sky.
When everyone turns on you,
He’ll show you the way.
Just lose yourself.
Let go of it all.
It’s never too late to be brand new.
Lose yourself,
Start over.
Make a wish on that four-leaf clover.
Remember, for you are not alone,
That everyone has a struggle of their own.
I was once told that life is not for the weak.
Stay strong.
You will defeat.
When life breaks through you,
Life a knife piercing your skin,
Your hope is lost.
You have a hard time believing,
But you have more life left to go.
Your days are not over,
You are not yet done.
Your spirit is alive.
Run, persevere, strive.
Strive to be everything,
Hold onto those childhood dreams,
For they are worth reaching for.
Every bruise, every scar along the way
Is there for a reason.
But, the pain will go away.
The scars are simply a reminder of what you endured.
You survived.
Remember that before you stick up your middle finger
At the world.
The world isn’t out to get you,
To hold you back,
though it seems.
It’s easy to lose your mind,
But it’s all a lie.
Just lose yourself,
Hold on to everything in which you’ve ever believed.
Let go of the past,
Make the moment last.
Live like there’s no tomorrow,
For we know not what the coming day may bring.
It may bring rain,
But the sun will shine again.
Just lose yourself.
Lose yourself in the moment,
You own it.
