Guest blogger today..Featuring Braden Martz

I am very honoured and proud to be sharing one of Braden's writing pieces with you today. I asked him if he'd mind writing for my blog and he happily offered up this piece he wrote a few years ago.
He is a very deep soul who has conquered a lot in life thus far. I am seriously so very privileged to have this opportunity to share his writings, thoughts and feelings. Braden is a very private individual who doesn't let many inside his thoughts. He has so much to share, so much to teach and I am looking forward to all things he will contribute to this world.
Thank you Braden for this post. I love you so much xo


I just got through the tough years

I know it took a couple of beers but hey

That shit helps when I'm dealin with fears

Seeing what I've done

Seeing who I've hurt 

Being selfish when I threw it all in the dirt

But what is it worth I would ask

I'd sit back and bask in a ultimate relapse of what I was becoming

Hannible lectar without his leather humming

I would crave drugs I've never done before

Wanting something else to stop the dangers I lay before

Or stop the thoughts i can't help but think of

Like how I feel of rotting below while I look at the world above

But that was the past 

My future is vast and its moving fast 

Was like getting through war with no bullet proof vest

I found my zest

Now I'm doing my best

But I just wanna say mom

I'm doing ok I just gotta look back and see what I did

Look at my scars and cover them in ink

My thoughts are clear as I jot them down in ink

Cause it's all in how I think

I could be on the brink feel my pride shrink as I work out the kink

Then build up from there and rip a problem up and create fear 

In the end I'm still here better than ever

Using my voice to tell a story

Of how I made it through 

And now I'm just sailin~
