"Thank you"

By Tara

The advice you've given me I will Cherish forever....Remembering your words Of confidence & courage----I Smile to myself.

Even though you didn't know What to do, you tried to help me; Regretfully I pushed you away.

Upon losing your trust & friendship,I was scared---I'd lost my best friend, biggest Cheerleader and confidant. All in one shot.

I always took our closeness For granted--never preparing For the worst.

You didn't approve; our ideas Clashed, we became oppisates---Wrapped up in a web of denial.

Words were exchanged, tears were shed--- Lies were told--it was not only Frustrating but hurtful.

We tried to bond & spend quality Time together....Things weren't the same.

Talking less & arguing More, things started Breaking down...

I've come to learn that our ideas maybe different---But now I realize I wouldn't be where I am today without your love and gudiance--so I want to say....

Thank you.

"Sweet Serenity"

By Tara

Fresh air heightens my senses; The sky hangs high above my head---the Sun embraces me with it's warmth.

The scenery is plain but breath taking--- You could wander aimlessly In the open fields for hours.....

Peaceful & Serene--a break from reality An escape from the stresses Of Everyday life...

It's as if the whole world is perfect--- Who knew it was possible? A place with beautifully wooded areas--Where Animals have a Home.

Weather is perfect--- the temperature is at A happy medium; Days are filled with Laughter and fun.

Excitement is overwhelming; the spring breeze Takes you to another place, looking ahead you can see the mountains. Knowing that you're far From home is a great feeling.

Feelings are different here; the scenery changes everything--Like a drug, it alters your feelings, Heightens your senses.

Noticing the small things--Like the flowers & Trees blowing in the wind; So breathe in deep--Like You Never will again.

"Journey To Acceptance"

by Tara

Discrimination, Heartache & lonliness--- Keeping in mind that I deserve all this; Wondering what I did wrong...

Having mixed up thoughts and feelings-- Scared to be myself, Hidden beneath A mask of denial.

Covering up my identity with lies upon Lies---Running away from myself, scared of My thoughts and feelings.

Searching everywhere for acceptance,Successful in many ways; When In reality I only Wanted acceptance from one person.....

My Search is over....Almost.
