  • Reach Inside Your Heart

    Reach Inside Your Heart

    Hey everyone! This week was so jam-packed, no? And I’m not finished yet! 😁 My good friend and amazing human being, Kiya of Flawed Silence and I have come up with a collab post. My first ever, yay!

    So the idea was that Kiya, the ever amazing wordsmith, was going to write a poem and I’ll do an illustration inspired from it. Because, you know, her poems can get anyone inspired. Hope you enjoy!


    ​It’s just another day

    As I see myself
    Drifting away
    Fingers skimming the stars
    And grazing the gentle clouds.

    I see myself going places
    But I see the shadow of doubt
    Trailing me
    Playing
    TAG you’re it
    TAG you’re it!

    With every fight
    And every knife to the back
    And every wheezing for breath
    We slump down
    Deeper
    And
    Deeper
    Into a world full of hurricanes
    Uprooting confidence, belief and esteem.

    Tell me
    Oh tell me why we are wasting time
    On crocodile tears, peeling scabs and 
    Waiting for someone to realise you’re not a paper doll?

    Cling to the hope
    And let it blossom into a wild flower
    So unique from the billions of people existing
    Let the thorns prick the ones that cast you aside
    But like the wildest roots
    I know that you can 
    Grow, and survive
    The evil madness in this world.

    Rise above the golden rays of sunshine
    And glide alongside the moon’s waning figure
    Whilst intertwining with the shimmers of the galaxy
    We all have potential
    You have capability
    So don’t let others dictate 
    How, why and what you will do.

    Instead
    Reach inside of your heart
    And generously feed your dreams
    Hopes and ambitions
    Set fire to the negative vibes
    And shoot across life
    Like a shooting star.

    Because you are one.

    Reach inside your heart


    Such a beautiful and inspiring poem, right? 💕 I’ll tell you guys a secret: I actually had a more ambitious idea of an illustration to pair with that poem but I don’t think I’m good at it. Yet. But who knows in the future? But I still had so much fun making this one.

    We have a different collab post up on her blog too so check that out!😁 I had the most amazing time working with Kiya on these collabs. Be sure to head on to her blog because it’s just filled with inspiring poetry and the visits to National Trust properties! Gorsh I love those.

    I hope you guys enjoyed this and I’ll see you all again this weekend. (Yep I’m not yet done for the week. ;))

    Happy Friyay, awesome peeps!🌌🌠
