Closing chapters







Every journey has a lifespan and every chapter has an end, I have seen myself grow a little this year it has not been the growth i wanted or expected but its growth nonetheless I can safely say that i am learning to take life as it comes. I was accustomed to fighting, be it fate or reality i was ever ready for battle. I find myself in submission to life now and i guess the beauty lies in seeing spades as they are, opposed to how i want them to be. This insight has seen me able to end a chapter in my life not because i wanted it to end, but because its end had come.





A profound chapter in my life began at 15 for me, i met a man and i shared a major chunk of my youth with this man. It has been a long journey of nine years with him, with many ups and downs. I have learnt so much from this journey, i loved wholeheartedly and i married my Prince. This was life as i thought it should be, but in life we love and we learn. I learnt many lessons, some i never wanted to learn and i spent a lot of time with my arms folded in protest, and in rage at life. Reality then struck me, i was given lemons and i went sour opposed to making lemonade. How unsporty of me i thought, well in all honestly love is the one emotion capable of altering anyone whether you want it to or not.








Today i am happy to end a chapter in my life, it has been an important one in my life, it has added significantly to who i am today. I have chosen to learn from all the bad and to cherish all the good, but most importantly i am letting the chapter close and i am ready for a new chapter. Self healing doesnt always happen when we want it to and so often we hardly notice that we are healed, however it is neccesary and it does make life happier and healthier when we welcome it.My life has transformed since i stopped fighting life, and it’s looking brighter and brighter each day, i have finally signed my name at the end of a chapter in my life and i anxiously await to write my next chapter.

I never knew......


I never knew that letting him in meant this
All he asked for was a simple kiss
I never knew where it would all lead
All i know is there is none here to kid
I never knew i was letting him in
Though with me he has been from the beginning

I never knew every minute mattered
All i know is without him im scattered
I never knew he meant everything he said
Slowly he seems to be getting through to me
I never knew that it only required patience to break my walls
I see them crumbling everyday
I never knew i would be so afraid

I never knew love would find me like this
I'm coming out of hiding and I don’t like it
I never knew I would let go and let love take over
Oh my how I wish I hadn't, walls are built to protect
I never knew it would be such bliss, ever thinking of his kiss

I never knew happiness like I know it now
Being me has never been this easy, a painless blissful love
I never knew this is where I would be
Closing doors and moving forward like I needed to
I never knew I deserved this freedom and happiness
Nor did i ever believe i was worthy

I smile now because I never knew but now I do!
