Poem- Flare Up.


Flare Up.

The skies are blue,

I don't see you,

Is my soul already there?

You have me living in despair,

My walls were built up so high, 

The pain is released with a lifeless sigh, 

Oh my,

Try not to cry,

Look into my eyes, 

My heart cries,

My mind lies,

The dreams my body denies, 

The rainbow over you,

The storm you have just fought through, 

Will strengthen you,

Prepared for the next one is all you can do,

The sun does shine, 

Though I can't call it mine,

It doesn't always show it's face and shine,

The disease, me it tries to define,

The water flows,

Your eyes is where the pain shows,

Your inner flame still flickers and glows,

Trying not to be sucked under by the lows, 

My touch you feel, 

With your touch pain I have to deal,

It is very real, 

My inner scars are the hardest to heal,

It keeps you up at night,

How the hell can you fight,

Bringing it all together with all my might,

From this hellish place - book me a flight,

A chamber box with bars all around,

No key in sight - I have looked around,

The clouds fill the skies that surround, 

You crash to the ground, 

Nobody knows,

The pain never fully shows,

They don't see your lows,

The tears and how the river flows,

I look to you,

But me you simply look straight through,

I do,

The best I can by you,

Feel free,

To come and see me,

You just may not see,

The me you expect me to be, 

Over the hills and far away,

Are the dreams I hope to experience one day,

The road is bumpy- let's just say,

Stop- keep those negative thoughts at bay, 

The out of order sign slapped on me,

The words speak truth you see,

I can lie about how I feel you see,

That's just me,

People move on,

My pain unfortunately isn't one,

The days are gone,

As I hold on,

Time flies,

The night hears my cries,

Automatic responses that are full of lies,

Praying to release myself from the ties, 

I watch the world spin, 

The war within,

I aim to win,

Where do I begin,

People come and go, 

Unable to cope with the rough waves and flow, 

Fed up with the pain you show,

They turn their backs and on with life they go, 

The moon is no friend,

Offering a hand to lend,

To the disease that wants to see your end,

In the past I have been charmed by this false friend,

The monster crawls under my skin,

The destroying my organs within,

Eating away at me they begin, 

Did I ever commit a sin?

The sun is always in the sky, 

I still enjoy what I can - I won't lie,

I may break down and cry,

The hardest fight I can't deny.

COOKING TIPS

#1
Feeling sluggish and rubbish when you have woken up? Get boosting up on bananas the more the better - they will help settle your stomach, boosting digestion, they are a mood enhancer, they will give you the energy you need and keep you full. Buy my book for banana receipe ideas.
 
#2
Wake up every morning and ATLEAST have one glass of lemon water before doing anything else! Ideally try to drink a litre of water. The lemon wakes up your digestive system ready for the day and has great cleansing properties.
 
#3
Check your dairy and meat intake - dairy can sit in your system for up to seven days unable to digest properly. Meaning other foods also get neglected and nurtients aren't absorbed properly and you feel extremely bloated. Go and smell your food bin, your stomach will be in that state. Rotting foods in your belly - hmm nice.
 
#4
DO NOT FEAR CARBS - THEY ARE NOT THE ENEMY! CARB UP!!
Bananas, Rice, Potatoes, Leafy Greens, Corn, Beans, Lentils etc PACK THEM IN GO MAD.
 
#5
NEVER COUNT CALORIES - NEVER RESTRICT!! These restriction 'starvation' diets who tell you to only eat 500 calories a day then have a treat day - where you binge out and eat WAY too much, is simply messing up your metabolism and on your binge days yours body stores all the fat meaning you gain weight because it knows it is going to go back into starvation mode and needs to hold onto every little thing it can. HELLO WEIGHT GAIN. 

Life is too short not to live it to the full, making yourself happy.
