Nothing belongs to us

We are free

We are the captain of our soul…

Nobody can say this or that and you must execute.

Nobody belongs to us

We are choosing according our feelings

Our thoughts

Our beliefs

Our stomach

The most a person make you laugh

The more u want to be with

We are nobody

We are nothing

More than the butterfly

Than the bee…

We are no creators but small ants

Or cigals

Or wolf

Show respect

Kindness

But no trust

Trust your instinct

Trust your heart

We are nothing more than a fly

We are nothing more than a bird

Laugh to your heart

Love your inner soul

And put your frequency high

Touch the stars

Make a wish

Stay a happy child

Fallen Angel

When u have the body cover, your eyes covered, your hands covered but your mind can create a world of love and beauty…

U are a fallen Angel

 

When u have been in a toxic relationship, no matter if is your close friend or family or your wife or your husband and you manage to get out intact, with your heart full of hope

U are a fallen Angel

 

If you were even bulling about your sex, your ability to learn too slow or to eat too much or to cry for everything, or to be too sentimental

U are a fallen Angel

 

If you are broken and you try to fix the other without asking for understanding or compassion or even someone be there with you in your hardest times…

U are a fallen Angel

 

As this world goes through difficult times and become more and more dangerous for women and children, I pray to you Fallen Angel…

 

Put back your beautiful wings

This world needs you to heal!!!

Dream

I dream a future with you

I dream a blue sky

Sunset to an island

I dream a white house

And have a view to the sea

I dream a future close to you…

 

And i get a bad dream

Sleeping alone

Feeling weak

But in my heart

i am not alone because i feel your heart beat

I feel your breath

World exist because you are smiling
