Belonging

Belonging

A group poem written by Aimee, Contessia, Chazcie, Tarkeshia, Friends of Guest House, April 30, 2020

May you love yourself despite the fear.

May you find the courage to stay alive.

May you find the meaning in your life.

May you find belonging.

For you do belong.

When i look within

When i look within

Tarkeshia, Friends of Guest House, April 30, 2020

When i look within

I see a very humble, happy, and compassionate person

who has been through a lot of hardships in her life.

I no longer see broken, beaten and bruised woman

who didn’t even realize her existence.

Today i see that woman standing stronger

through all adversities and living life

on life terms like normal people do.

I’m grateful that, that woman i see is me.

-Tarkeshia

The Voices in my Heart

The Voices In My Heart

Chazcie, Friends of Guest House, April 30, 2020

as my mind flows, l can hear the voices

they whisper in my heart

and as i see them

they tell me

don’t give up

follow your dreams

love will find you

stay positive

your life will be

filled with joy an understanding

embrace the voices

follow them

for they will lead you to ultimate bliss

-Chazcie

Within..

Within…

Contessia, Friends of Guest House, April 30, 2020

When I look within I see

The deepest part of my conscious.

I see the Twisted thoughts.

The Monsters that keep me up.

Screaming late into the night.

I want to understand the intricate, fragile design of my mind.

I want to hear my Demons.

Whispering in my ear.

I want you to hold my hand.

As they tear me apart.

So I don’t feel alone.

Even in the Dark.

Could Be

Could Be

Aimee, Friends of Guest House, April 30, 2020

when u look within

i see images of things broken, things repaired, and the empty spaces of things lost.

When i look within i see the shadows of memories.

Faces of days past. The ghostly touch of grasping hands.

When i look within i see what was what is and what could be
