A Love Letter To The Moon
Oh, how I love to daydream
Because you sleep when the sun is out
That’s the only way to see you
Until the bright beams have gone down
But
When you wake
What a sight for the stars in the evening sky
You captivate me with your beauty
I have confessed my deepest fears to you
So serene and complex
There is no doubt
My exquisite moon
In every phase of your life
I adore you

Write a letter to your fear (Sponsored by ProWritingAid) 1 weeks, 3 days ago
To The Unknown
How do I write a letter to my fear when I fear everything? I’m not sure when I became this way. I used to be so untamed, but now I’m scared of living life. I miss the person I was—the fearless one, except for when it came to roller coasters and snakes. How can I find her again? She seems so far away now, but I remember her clearly. She didn’t just stare out the window dreaming of a bigger world; she lived it. When she encountered something new, she didn’t panic; she embraced it. She turned the unknown into something familiar, living a story she loved to tell. An old friend once asked me how New York was. The truth is, I never made it there. My mind doesn’t play fair. I dream too big for my brain to handle, and instead of confronting the fear, I’ve always backpedaled.

Fade into the Moonlight
I made a wish for you and I
Slow dancing to Mazzy Star
Under the crescent moonlight
High off of your woodsy cologne
Drunk off of your tender kiss
A winter night of endless bliss
A touch of whimsy
A dash of wonder
A recipe for love
No longer do we need to wander
Our destination is clear
We’ve found our forever
We’ll fade into one anotherSubscribe  or  log in to reply

Stay
You took advantage of a vulnerable situation
Gave me your hand that led me to lies
I just wanted you to stay
Now I need you to stay awayEmpty promises of passion and adventure
Sounded so great until you took it away
I wish I could hate you but I have too much empathy
Still, I hope you stay a million miles awayStay with me
Stay away
Stop playing this little game
I wish you could take all the blame
We’re both guilty of the sky turning greyIn ten years you will be ready for something more
When you come I won’t answer the door
Permanently closed to the idea of reconciliation
I threw away the key to our ultimate fantasy
Stay where you are

Courtney, this is such a powerful poem. You are heard through this platform and I’m so happy that you are able to walk away from a situation that no longer served your purpose. You are a light unto others who have a hard time expressing how they feel. This is a beautiful piece. Thank you!

Write a thank-you letter or poem to yourself 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Thank You Courtney
Thank you for not giving up when everything was trying to tear you down
You fight unspoken battles every day
I’m so proud of you for not letting it become your new face
You are still finding your placeThank you for searching for the smallest glimmer of hope to keep yourself around
You have learned to love what is often overlooked
Doing everything you can to find a more positive outlookThank you for being the light in others’ lives when you often struggle to be a spark in your own
You thrive when creating their sunshine
You’ll find yours in timeThank you for focusing on your inner peace when it would be much easier to let your demons roam
How uncomplicated would it be to give in to the chaos
Let your soul turn to stone as your golden heart is squashed
But that wouldn’t be you
You are the gentle sound of an old record being played on a Sunday afternoon
Brightening someone’s day in such a simple wayI’m grateful that you’ve never let your warm heart turn cold
No matter what challenges unfold
In the darkest of skies, you are the moon
Always giving away your light hoping to help anyone who is feeling gloomVoting is open!
