The Life We Are Living

The world we see around us today can be scary. So many people are allowing their false personalities to be in charge which brings all their fears and insecurities into play. The anger and the greed and the acting-out we are seeing every day are the result.
​
We can change it. One person at a time bringing the light of positivity into their lives and doing what is fair for all can overpower the darkness.
​
THE LIFE WE ARE LIVING
 
Positive energy and carefully directed thoughts and feelings

can transform our lives beyond our imaginings.

In the process of achieving this state of mind,

we let go of so much more than we even realize.

As our minds become clearer, we see the translucent threads

binding the garbage beliefs we’ve accumulated about ourselves

and how they have created the life we’ve been living.

With concerted effort, we release these harmful beliefs

to move into a new life like the butterfly flapping her wings.

    A Diary in Verse

    Pablo Picasso said, “Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.” For me, free verse is like a diary. It serves you by allowing you to release your emotions by setting pen to paper. At times, it helps you clarify your thinking on a subject. Regardless of the motivation, it is an intimate exercise. As a writer, it takes courage to share them with others. The words lay you open to the world.

    Life is a purifying process. It serves as our crucible – a place where we can experience the heat of change. Life is our source for opportunities to transform ourselves. For me, writing, particularly free verse, helps me transform my feelings about difficult situations by putting them down on paper. Oftentimes with those verses serving as release valves, I can feel myself changing as soon as I place the last period on the verse.

    One thing all humans have in common are emotions. Emotions exist on a complex spectrum, and the spark leading to their expression can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. It can stem from experiences in the past or those in the here and now or even those on the world stage.

    I chose to share these in hopes they would resonate with others. I hope some of them can serve you on your journey, if for no other reason than to know you’re not alone in how you are feeling.

I will read forever because it lets me visit in my mind the worlds that I will never be able to see; it helps me put away the stresses of the day and relax into the rhythm of the story before me; it lets me bring to the surface and experience without regrets those feelings I hide away; it lets me re-experience the thrill of first love through someone else's eyes; it keeps my mind juiced so that it will never desert me; it is always there for me even when there's no one else. I will read forever no matter whether it is print or digital because the words will always call to me. ~ A Sassy Scribbler
