Staying calm
positive
grounded
thinking of you
J. Belle

well, hello there
little flower.
where did you
come from?
and how on earth
did you grow here?
J. Belle

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.
