May You Find Peace.

🕊You've chased the light
Long enough, now you must
Remove the blindfold...

…To see that it has been
Inside you this whole time.

Stop Self Deprecating.

Don't judge yourself, everyone else
Already spend way too much of their
Own time judging you.

Think of it this way,
Their judgements are just
Unwanted and therefor,
Unasked opinions. 

Opinions are always fiction,
Never fact.

Rumours and gossip that
Have been created and spread,
Simply because those people
Don't have their lives on
Track.

Just A Weird Little Weirdo.

I've been pretty much everywhere
But no one knows my name, never
Truly fit in, only have known what
It is to feel out of place.

There are times when I feel
So unlike everyone else, it's
Like I'm an alien from out of
Space. 

I like to think of myself as
A beam of sunshine, in the
Middle of the pounding rain.

Have only ever been seen
As "weird" and "strange",
Still I continue to do things
My way.

Tried to be like everyone
Else, but "normal" wasn't
For me.

I realised that it doesn't matter
How hard I try to be "normal"
Because some things don't change.

You see, being weird is really
Quite wonderful.
And besides, I'm just happy
To be me.

Anxiety & Panic Attacks.

My brain is melting, my
Mind is breaking down.
As fear consumes me, I
Can't help but bawl my
Eyes out.

Terms like, "chill out",
"calm down" and "relax" lose
All meaning as my lungs
Forget how to keep
Breathing.

Anxiety is a sneaky little
Devil, creeping up on me when
I least expect.

Depending on the individual,
It varies itself on different levels.
So if anyone suffers with anxiety,
Know that you have my respect.

If you try to comfort me
By saying, "it's okay."
Thank you, but that doesn't
Mean the panic I'm feeling
Will suddenly vanish and
Go away.

Anxiety is like a storm,
I have to ride it out.
Once it's over, soon it will
Be forgotten about.

Butterflies - This Poem Is Dedicated To The Nurses from Ryde Hospital: Poonam, Sanduni, Janet, Jenny, Emily, Helen, Hoda, Khushi and Emmanuel.

Every butterfly that I see
Today, I'm going to send
Your way in the hopes that
It will put a smile on your
Face.

Embrace the new chapter
Of your life, and everything
That comes with it. 

You're doing great things
As is, and are going to do
Greater things still.

You're going to shine brighter
Than the reflection of the moon
On the ocean, glowing in the
Night.

You are going to be a
Beacon of hope, a symbol
Of strength, a source of
Inspiration that encourages
Someone else to shine
Their light.

You are a survivor.
A fighter.

You got this.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

Home.

Living under the same
Roof, everyone in their
Own rooms unless we're
Hanging out.

This is how we live our life.

Bumping into one another
In the halls, waking up to
The sound of someone's
Snores through the thin
Walls in the middle of the
Night. 

Siblings by chance but
Friends by choice, is just
How we like.

Push, pull, duck, shove.
This is how we show our
Love.

What's better than 1 sibling?
Having 4 (or more.)

Family are friends that
God gave, home is where the
Heart is and I wouldn't have
Mine any other way.

- Alexandra Pierotti.
