Some days I am a Goddess. Some days I am a wild child, and some days I’m a fragile mess. Most days I’m all three, some more then others, But everyday, I’m here, Trying. You see everything that happens to us happens for a larger purpose. The good that happens to us is usually a direct result of helping someone else, even when we don’t realize we have done so. Hang on every word that’s said, act like the world might end. Dance in the rain. Smile at a stranger. On your worst days remember to love your self. Because, at the end of the day its no ones job but our own to do so. we will constantly be disappointed if we expect that from anyone but our self. It takes some time to see it, Love to believe in.

Heavy in my bones now, seems like everybody goes out. Prayer in the shape of Prozac, Trying to medicate the lows that hit in me the night time when i cant quiet the loudness in my mind. They said its gonna be alright but they don’t know what its like inside my mind. Heavy from the hurt inside my veins. I would do anything for love even when I don’t feel enough, cause I promise if you knew me you would probably walk away but its alright. We carry this, a stranger you see in a store may feel this way. They may need to find that self love, Heavy from the hurt they carry. Its not a game, gets so heavy with nothing to gain. Feeling that way is some of the days i feel a fragile mess. Other days i hear the Birds singing their melody, the sun shines through the darkness and i smile, and pray that finding self love and a smile is contagious to others.

I lose sight at times, My past has tasted bitter, Also oh so sweet. Grace can be deceived as weakness, Stay strong, Be bold… or so I have been told. Today we should love the world like its almost over, Love the people in it like we should, like we were born to. All these things ive seen through the years, causing all these tears. Sparks ive had to put out. Time to let them burn and smile, For all the people who never could. Theres still hope in this world, Maybe we can be that hope? Like a domino affect. If i could make the world feel rich i wouldn’t mind feeling poor. Something about Love that’s so addictive leaves us wanting more. Were born wired for love. My mother said I’m to needy, like I’m picturing a life only in the movies. I almost started to believe her, but after I got a little older and all ive been through, I see right through. This world can be a brighter place if we love our selves first and love each other. This I know, I’m saving ME. Lets save each other. Other wise depression can be a rotten curse. Drown you alive.

Have you ever felt so strongly in the presence if someone something was wrong? Did you keep moving on, or did you stop? Ive been stopped by a stranger and Hugged just because they could feel and see the hurt on my face. Don’t let this cold world chill your heart, Ask if some one is okay. If asked if “How are you?” if youre not Okay don’t respond with “im fine” or “okay”. Tell someone, Let someone care, i promise we do. Don’t wait until its to late. All the money in the world cant buy a time machine. Live in the moment, Tell someone what they mean to you even a stranger. Don’t pay the price of holding back and waiting to Chisel feelings on cold marble in the ground, or to hear how someone feels about you through a note on your headstone. You never know when some ones hurting.

You see I want to be told the things youre scared to say out loud. I want to know the things youre not proud of. I want you to know I have good days and bad days too. Lay out our cards we all have mistakes, no ones ever alone. I wanna talk about death, life, love, anxiety, depression, happiness, new beginnings, Goals, dreams, the stars, the galaxy, God. Sometimes the voice inside of me loses its breath, theres not a lot of people like me, all the things I don’t say out loud that remain inside me, to deep to cut through the pale veins of those who have no idea, but theres people out there, I’m calling out in search of what well be. Were only human we can be more. Stop being afraid to talk about real life. My heart is scarred like the tattoos on my skin. They express the things I wish to say out loud. Learning everyday to not be afraid, I know you think I have it all figured out but i’m just a girl overwhelmed with my heart pouring in my head. I wish you could see all the pain ive seen, all the time ive spent being naïve. I don’t now any perfect way, But we can all try our best to be okay, even when its hard. Don’t hold your breath from all the words you want to say from you heart. If you really want ill let you inside, So i can say all the words in my heart and hope you will do the same.

Life is so short, Take that starry night drive, Meet strangers. Don’t pass by faces so cold, we have all been broken and aimless, low. But we can Lift others, Give them a sign, make things alright. Hold them, show them the light. Its okay if you don’t know how to face it, just do it. They may just be giving a sign they need someone there. We may be able to make things alright. If not its okay, we try. Smile, Pass it along. We all feel so nervous, so small. But were not gone, were here. Hold me like the sky holds the stars. They say I’m so strong But ive been lost in my way too. I want to love like I can save a life. Love our selves and we can love others. We will never have this day again. Make it shine! Don’t be scared to let anyone know if your drowning, ive seen heartache bad days, pain, light. Been watched as my world burned down. But here I am still standing. You can to. We can all unite and stand strong. Were never alone even when we feel so in a crowded room, ive been there. Don’t watch others as their world burns down. be the one to take them to surface don’t let them drown. We could be a part of that sinking ship and not even know it. Remember to always spread kindness everywhere we go. Just know love your self, love others. Together we can change the world. We are not to small.

For now, XOXO MALDO
