Take a minute to quiet your mind.

Steps - This Poem Is Dedicated To Lexi From Ryde Hospital. You'll Be Proud To Know That I Still Haven't Stopped Climbing.

Start small, and work your way up. Until you've reached the top.
Even then don't stop.

Love Is Blind.

I see no shape, I see no colour.
I see no age, I see no flaw.
You have  nothing to be ashamed of.

I am Love. 
Let me be all of yours.

Do not hide your eyes, from what I can bring.
Do not turn  away your heart, real love does not sting.

Do not be afraid, to look me in the eye.

I am, Love. I, am blind.
I only know how to give, so take me.

Real love, is gentle. Not hard.
Real love, is kind.
Real love, is forgiving.

Real love, is unconditional.
Real love, doesn't run when times are challenging.
Real love, stays and fights when things get hard.

Real love, stops and takes a minute to adjust.
Real love, doesn't wither or rust.
Real love, is blind.

True love, is real, not fake.
True love, knows it's place.
True love, knows when to acknowledge it's mistakes.

Love doesn't force.
Love,  will always be patient and wait. 
Love, Loves.
Love knows not hate.

Love sees through touch. For you see, 
Love is blind.

Love is sweet, love knows not how to be bitter.
Love sees, through sightless eyes.

Butterflies - Signs Of Good Things To Come x.

Behind my smile is a wall of tears, can't you see I'm hurting? I refuse to let the tears fall. I will get through it, I always have.

 It only took me Forever, to realise what it takes to mature, to see myself for who I've always been.

Forever I'm going to stand tall. I am determined to be room-mates with genuine joy. Happiness, my permanent home. This overdose of sadness, I remind myself that this battle is only temporary. I am tougher than drywall.

My mind will always attempt to convince me otherwise, but I know it's just a demon taking illness as a form of disguise. A cheap costume.

Like every costume, though sometimes a size too small. Though invisible 80% of the time, with determination and a slight struggle, eventually it will get off. It is up to you, to banish the demon out of your life.

I personally, have learnt to turn my eyes up to the sky. Put my troubles in God's healing hands, the pain eases and eventually will disappear for good over time.

'Pray on it', is not just a saying. It is fact. Give it a go, you'll be surprised at how much good will become your life. This illness, over time will stop distracting you, if anything, it will flee in fear. You are and always will be safe, so long as close to your heart, you keep God near.

"Normal" is boring. Being your beautiful self is the best thing. To feel free, and not giving a second thought to those who don't appreciate you. Always be yourself. Being "weird" is fun! Why jog in the boring lane, when you can run. To sprint towards your own personal victory!

Like, why hum the tune of same song over and over again when you literally know is going anywhere since it's stuck on a loop. When you can beatbox freestyle and sing at the top of your lungs to your own made up tune? Why try "fitting in" by pretending to be someone you're not, when you were born specifically, to BE YOU?!?

Remember this, whatever you're going through, I am on Team YOU. Should you ever feel the need to talk to someone but without the ridiculous always rising costs of Therapy? I'm here.  Whatever you need in order to assist you in your healing journey, I got you. Remember, you are never alone. An easier way to remember? Go back to the 'Highschool Musical' song -

"We're all in this together!"

It's not just true, but also an upbeat song that you can dance to at any time 😁 .

Butterflies are a sign of good things to come, I've been seeing a lot of them lately. I sense that you're not having a particularly good day today. Yeah?

Here, have a butterfly.

My gift of good things to come. To, and for, you.

Fall In Love With Yourself.

You deserve everything that you are about to receive. You deserve true Happiness.

Jasmine - This Poem Is Dedicated To Jasmine From Ryde Hospital.

To be blessed with a name
As sweet as the nectar of the flower
Itself, one must be truly lucky.


- Alexandra Pierotti. 

The Only Person's Opinion About Yourself That Matters, Is Yours.

My mind told me, "There's no way. We can't do this."
I replied, "Watch me."

And a Legend was born.

What's In A Name - This poem is dedicated to my name twin, Dr Alex from Ryde Hospital.

"What is in a name?."
The name, 'Alex', means,
'Defender of Man.'

I know this, because I had the
Trippy, coincidental pleasure of
Meeting my name twin, Alex.

Alex, is the true walking
Definition of 'Defender of Man.'
By being a Doctor, and putting
His life on the line every day
In continual, successful, endless
Attempts by saving others.

Alex, knows without knowing
It, that he makes me and literally every
Other, Alex proud by serving our
Name well.

Every, Alex knows what it is
To fall, only to stand up taller
Than ever before.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

   

 

 

Earrings - This poem is dedicated to Angela with the dangly earrings from Ryde Hospital. A person so nice that they had to have an 'a' in their name twice.

Go bravely towards your dreams.
Don't keep them trapped up shut
Tightly like birdcages.

Release them unto the wind!
Make them your very own
Reality!

I aspire to be like your incredible earrings,
Forever dangling high above from the Heavens.
Like the twinkling stars of the Midnight skies.


- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

   

Sometimes, what you have been looking for, has been standing in front of you the whole time.

 

- Alexandra Pierotti.

Always be yourself.
Wonderful.
K-razy (with a 'K' because that's the best kind.)
Weird.
Always looking for the positive. 
Radiance shines from within you.
Delicate as a daisy, yet daring.

 - Alexandra Pierotti

Life is one giant never ending cliff face. It's worth the climb. Just don't look down x.

I'm making personal progress, and that's all that Matters.

Sunny Days Ahead.

 I'm going to be happy. Every day, I'm going to do 1 thing that makes Me happy.

The sun has set on the horizon of today. Only to arise more beautiful tomorrow.

It only gets better from here, you'll see.

Nothing is more sophisticated than natural beauty itself.

Look for beauty in every little thing that you
come across today.

Write them down, then check them off.

It's more productive than a To-Do list.
Not to mention, it's more fun too!

Do what makes You happy today!

- Alexandra Pierotti.
