Heart Of Gold.

Some battles I've lost, others I've won.
I keep my head down, and I plough through.
Knowing that my faith is strong, there is
Nothing that I cannot do.

Despite everything that is,
or ever has been, I keep my heart
Golden.

Through the complexity of healing
My heart has grown as big, and with
That, my feelings have become in
Depth, deeper than the ocean.

Though I may stumble, I take
Comfort in knowing my heart is
Preserved in purity.

Even if at times, I may feel
Isolated on the island of insecurity.
Religion my lifejacket, I am never alone.
Prayers are my sustenance,
Keeping me afloat.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

Do you ever feel like you're
Completely exhausted all the time?
As if you're doing nothing with
Your life even though you're actually
Doing everything?

Does it ever feel like it doesn't
Matter how much sleep you get at night,
When you wake up the following
Morning you're just as tired as the
Night before?

As if just going through the
Motions just because you're tuned to
The familiarity of the routines that
Are daily life?

You

• Wake up.
• Get dressed.
• Go to work/school.
• Come home again.

Only to repeat the exact same process the next day?

Don't worry, you're not alone.
This is just a bump in the road.

Try to find ways to turn "just another ordinary day...🙄" into
Something as extraordinary as you 🤩!

Re-discover motivation, by searching for ways to boost
Your serotonin and broaden your mindset.

 

Here are some simple, natural remedies to get you feeling exhilarated and revitalized:

1. Take mental notes on what causes you stress (and find ways to distance yourself from it.)
2. Schedule for yourself a screen-free day. 
3. Go for a walk.
4. Spend time with your favourite people.
5. Do something that you love.
6. Strategize, organise and prioritize by writing out a to-do list. 
7. Practice deep breathing.
8. Go on a spontaneous day trip.
9. Speak up! Journal your thoughts or speak to someone about what you're currently experiencing.

Keeper Of My Heart/An Old Couples Love Story & Key To A Happy, Healthy Marriage.

Every word you say,
I tattoo on to my heart.
And no, it's not a phase.
I've been doing it every day,
Since our story begun.

Life is short, but it has
Been good to us.
You're the reason why I
believe in true love.

Though age has played
It's card, when I'm with you
I feel young.

True, the good old days are
Behind us, though we both know
That's because even better ones
Are still to come!

Every time you say my name and
Smile, I fall in love with you all over
Again.

No matter what challenges we may face,
Know that we will face them together.
Always.

Because you are my everything, 
You are the key to my happiness eternal.
My one and only, keeper of my heart.

Matching gold rings exchanged,
All those years ago along with vows
Solidifying our soul binding love.

So lucky am I to know, that
I made the right choice.
In having you be the keeper of
My heart.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

 

Red Carpet.

Standing back, looking at my past,
I reflect on the fact that I was young and naïve.
Was taught to be invisible, instead of
Being seen. 

Since this is what my elders
Told me, I didn't know any better
Than to believe.

As a result, growing up, I was
Treated like I was a red carpet.
People walked all over me.
At times, even stampede.

Now, I'm glad to say,
All that has changed.
Tired of being trampled on,
I've brushed off the dirt and
Dust.

I learnt the hard way to
Consider myself, a priority.
Though I be of a simple and
Humble descent, in God's eyes
I am a star.

He created me so that for
Him, I would shine ever so
Bright.

Rebirth, growth and healing
Is what I represent.
Through my new found wisdom,
I know that I deserve
Respect.

Placing all my trust of
This journey, in God's hands.
In prayer that I overcome
What once was traumatic, is
Where my time is spent.

By day, slowly I gain courage
Encouraged by divine strength.
By night, my wings unfurl and
Sprout.

I've made peace with my
Past because I know, for me,
God has great plans and that
I have nothing to worry about.

Once Upon A Stormy Night.

As I stared out to sea,
The last of the day's sunlight
Glowed on my skin.

The back of my neck tickled as
My hair blew in the late evening's
Ocean breeze.

I watched as the clouds transformed
From white into deep grey, I could sense
That a storm was on its way.

My heart started to race when
I heard the raging rumble of thunder,
Fear struck my heart as I saw lightning
Streak across the now night sky.

I had always been afraid of the dark.

As the clouds broke, rain began to pour.
Washing away my fear as it fell, I wasn't
Scared anymore.

As the tides swelled, I was
Suddenly overwhelmed.

I was having an epiphany...

'...Thunderstorms are nothing to fear,
Because it is just Nature letting off some steam.'

That realization made me smile.

So, when the next lightning flashed,
I timed when the next thunder would take
A stand.

At last, I heard the subtle familiar rumble.
I waited for it to slowly intensify.

Once the thunder was ready,
I challenged it to a dare of who could
Roar the loudest.

Then I opened my mouth and
With it, I screamed.

B.E.A.U.T.Y

Believe
Everything will work out,
And the
Universe will
Take
You places you never thought you'd see.

Trust. Heal. Resilient. Invincible. Valiant. Exist.

The Art Of Reading Poetry.

I love to read poetry,
Because it takes me
Away.

To an alternate universe
Through a portal of words,
By others wisdom, engraved.

As I travel through the time
Of poetry, I gain insight to
The beauty of my inner mountain
Range.

Standing on the peak of
Endless possibilities, I see myself
Through new eyes as I enter
A new evolutionary age.

I'm where I've always
Been, yet nothing is or ever will
Be the same.

This is my hour to create
Artistry of my own, a painting
Of self discovery & constant
Development.

In my own company,
I am never alone.

Because through the
Art of reading poetry,
I have never felt more
At home.

Something has changed
Within me, I have a new perspective
On how things should be.

As I read, I can't help but
Notice that certain words
Jump out at me.

An invitation & reminder,
That I am keeper of every
Triumph  that comes with
Seizing every opportunity.

The poem I read a mere
Template, a simple yet descriptive
Sacred document of positivity.

If it were not for mastering
The art of reading poetry, I don't
Know where I would be.

The Sand Castle.

Each granule of sand
So small, scooped up in
Buckets before being
Built.

Inspired by children's hopes
And dreams so big.

Growing taller and taller,
Slowly as it reaches to the sky.
Carving out a path to sea, the
Children sculpt their future.

As they imagine as to when
They grow up, what it is that
They want to be.

Such simple holiday pleasures,
Create only the best childhood and
Family memories.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

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.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

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.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

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.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

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.

 

Free Bird.

I run towards the storm,
Faster than I've ever run before.
I am the first bird you see, gliding
Towards the sun at every dusk
And dawn.

By honouring my past, living
In the present, I am a slave to
The steady beat of my heart and
The melody of my soul.

Dancing towards my future,
As the rhythm of positive energy
Becomes me. 

I am a free bird.
I was born to fly, not be
Controlled.

I smile to myself as I feel
My heart let go of what too tightly
It did once hold, I close my eyes
And mute the noise in my
Mind.

With the wind beneath my
Wings, I soar to great heights.
It's just me, and the never ending
Sky.

I have nothing to regret,
Because here, I don't ever have to
"Grow up."

Nothing can hurt me, I don't have
To worry about anyone who might
Desert me.

Why blend in when I can
Stand out? Why talk quietly when
I can laugh and shout?

To be my true self in 
All of my natural glory,
Is what life's all about.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

 

Defying Gravity.

I know Anxiety is a liar, because every day I find myself climbing higher.

Wild And Free.

Her soul is wild,
It cannot be caught.
She is a true warrior,
There is no battle she
Has not  fought.

So I run with her, we
Set each other free.
She gives me all of her,
And I give her all of me.

Love is more than a story,
It is an adventure of a lifetime.
Every story has twists and
Turns, but when it's with the
Right person there are more
Ups than downs.

When a soul finds its
Purpose, everything suddenly
Makes sense.

So we savour the taste of pure
Happiness, as we treasure these
Precious moments.

She thinks I rescued her.
But really, she rescued
Me. 

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

Today And Everyday.

Today, and everyday
Is a fresh start.

A new beginning.

Each day that comes,
Is a Blessing.

The Greatest gifts of all, are
In the smallest of miracles
That easily and often go
Unnoticed. 

From the warmth of the sun
On your face, to the fluffiest
Of white clouds in the sky.

God's arms outstretched,
Showering you in good things
To come. 

Today, and everyday
Is a fresh start.

Change and positivity calls
Out to you like a bird who from
The moment of its birth, rehearses
It's song.

This moment was created to
Embark on an adventure of your
Embrace.

Today, and everyday
Is a fresh start.

May the flower in your heart
Bloom, while within yourself
You grow.

Yesterday may have been
Hard, but you got through it.
I'm really proud of you.

Today, and everyday
Is a fresh start. 

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

  

Magnets.

Two lost souls out searching
For an answer to one of Life's great
Questions, late one dark and
Stormy night, crossed paths
With one another and felt themselves
Come alive.

Their hearts aglow with the
Beam of Heaven's light. 
Drawn together by fate, as
The forces of love magnetised.

The waiting and longing over,
The craving for attention and
Completion now come to a stand
Still.

Everything falling into place.

Time slowed and everything
That once felt impossible, doesn't
Anymore.

What seemed to be lost,
Had somehow been found.

What once seemed almost
Invisible, is now within
Reach and being seen with
New eyes.

They knew they were made
For each other, because this once
In a life time moment was
Meant to be.

That they were experiencing
Love at first sight.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

Long story short, you are going to do great things x.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

Beautifully You.

Take off your earrings, let
Your hair down.
Excuse me, but you dropped
This. 

*hands you back your crown.*

I'm proud of you for prioritising
Yourself and not being ashamed
Of having feelings.

For separating yourself from
Those who diluted your vibe,
For protecting your heart during
The most difficult of times and
Focusing on living your best
Life.

For always staying true to
Yourself.

An abundance of
Blessings will follow you
All of your days. 

Embrace your own unique
Skills, talents, style, technique
And everything in between.

Stay positive, keep smiling.
Continue to be everything that
Makes you beautifully you,
Keep shining 💖.
