I’m going to succeed – I will not doubt myselfI will not second guess my decisions. This is my life & I deserve to love every aspect of it. When I lay my head down at night, I thank God; for the blessings, for the lessons & for the strength and perseverance he’s given me to continue following my heart. – Danyle L. M.
It’s beautiful
The way I bleed
And scab and itch and scar
And plead
All to rip open the wound
Again and again
My wounds, these marks
Are self inflicted
- The Dalema.
All too often – and usually too soon – after a breakup, you might find yourself wondering what your ex is up to. It’s easy to torture yourself with questions and overthink things. Are they seeing someone else? Are they hurting? Do you cross their mind? Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or SnapChat, finding the answers can – unfortunately – be just a click away. I wrote this about a heartbreak; one that absolutely crushed my soul. A heartbreak that’s left a hole in my heart; like a scar that, even with time, doesn’t seem to heal.

She’s waiting for the sunrise
thinking it’s just like you
bringing light when it appears
melting away the morning dew
She’s enjoying the sunshine
not a dark cloud in sight
like you, it brought her peace
casting her worries aside
She’s afraid of the sunset
it’s beautiful but ever-changing
just like your feelings were for her –
unpredictable and quickly fading
She feels sorry for the sun
never getting to meet the moon
maybe someday when they collide
her heart will un-break, too
– Danyle L. M. 6/11/16
She thought you were her slingshot
Launching her into a bright future
Yet here she is in the same spot
Wondering why you wouldn’t keep her
