I grow weary
of the silence voices
that echo
inside my mind.
They judge me
mock my ideas
cliticize my actions
devalue my worth.
Everything I do
comes genuinely
from the heart
& I value that
about myself.
So, I’m just going to
keep doing
what I do best…
being me.
J. Belle
Shadow caresses
the edge of sorrow
Light trickles down
into the bowl of hope
Sip from the cup of life
really taste it
the sweet
and the bitter
filling your belly
with resilience.

Grounding
is an important
part of growth.
J. Belle
I’m just going to
smile to myself
and feel invincible.
J. Belle
Sometimes
even the bravest
most beautiful hearts
lose their courage
then behave in
strange
unexpected ways
to conceal it.
J. Belle
There is
a little girl
that lives
inside of me.
No matter
how many times
I’m knocked down
or how hard I fall.
She somehow
finds a way
to get me to stand
brush off my knees.
She turns up the music
inside my mind
& shows me
how to dance again.

pretend
to be brave
even when
you’re not.

The wind
was fierce
it blew
with such force
I could barely stand.
I lay down
in the grasses
while it howled
and thrashed
against me.
I called out
to the clouds
until my voice
ran hoarse
my mouth dry.
Invigorated
rejuvenated
and ready
for the long trek
home.
J. Belle
I can feel
the warm sun
through the wool
on my back,
the cool breeze
on my bare face,
taste the salty air
on my tongue.
I feel a refreshing
spray of water
each time I hear
a crashing wave.
I can feel the cold rock
and slick algae
beneath my feet.
I breathe
and exhale…
I am here.
