Falling Toward the Moon

You’ve got to empower

every human you love

and empower yourself

to be good

to those you don’t love.

I can see it in your sad eyes.

Sometimes,
you feel like you’ve spent
your whole life
planning
for a future that isn’t certain.
Chasing a love
that doesn’t exist.
And worrying about
a past that doesn’t even matter.
And this is what your life
has turned into.
Stressing over the unknown.
Overthinking about people
you’ve never even met
and dwelling in moments
that drown you,
instead of the ones
that push you
toward the shore.

Beautiful human beings
come and go.
So there is no reason
to believe they were
the one.
You’re going to think that
about everyone
you fall in love with.
You’re going to believe
that’s “the one” each time.

People aren’t meant
to hurt you . . .
and all the things you feel
aren’t meant to bring you closer
to your doom.
Because everything around you
is a lesson waiting to be learned,
and how you let it
affect you
is completely up to you.
So cry now and laugh later . . .
it’s okay . . .
because something better
is on the way.
Just stay humble,
learn from your mistakes,
and keep your heart open
for when the right
opportunities come.

romanticize yourself

because here and now

you are a lonesome

beautiful love story

waiting to be told

and heard by the right ears

romanticize yourself

because you are love

woman, set free.

you spend all your life looking for love

and it’s only when you get to the end

that you realize that you forgot

to look for yourself

and that is the saddest love story

of them all

losing yourself

in what hurts

is even harder.

Just believe

that somewhere within you

there is a special kind

of light.

It is the kind

that can overcome

any kind

of darkness.

All you have to do

is close your eyes

and remember .

what it was like

when you were just

a little girl

because

that will always

represent

the best parts of me

and also

the best parts

of you.

Losing people is hard.

Losing opportunities is hard.

Losing love is hard.

But losing yourself

in what hurts

is even harder

Don’t take yourself

too seriously.

Don’t spend your days

working too hard

and don’t spend your nights

overthinking

the future.

Don’t mistreat people

and don’t pretend

to be

something you’re not.

Don’t judge others

based on your own life

and don’t hold on

when there’s nothing left

to hold on to.

Don’t wait

if you’re not expecting

and don’t think you know

when you really don’t.

Don’t laugh

if you don’t want to

and don’t take people

for granted.
