Fill Yourself

 
 
When you cannot expel the bitterness
inside you
fill yourself with God's love
to dilute all that ugliness
that's deep within
and eating your happiness

Possibility

 
 
I will never again think of myself as a failed writer,
instead, I am a writer with possibility.

Brilliantly Made

 
 
your heart beats
your lungs breathe
your legs walk
your fingers touch
your soul feels
your mind thinks
your ears hear
while your eyes see the
magnificence of the universe
 
you were brilliantly made
and meant to be here

You In Photos

 
 
 
 
Sometimes you look great in photos
and sometimes you don't.
Choose to believe you look like
your better photos.
 
Why not live life a little happier?

Real Love

 
 
Real love never dies
if I told you long ago I loved you,
my word is still good

You Chose

 
 
You chose your demons over me,
I have to wonder
how is hell...
 
 
Olivia M. McGuire
 


I Can See You

 
 
 
I can see your race, gender, clothes, and sexual orientation.
I can also see your job title or lack thereof,
the car you drive or don't drive.
I see your victories and your challenges,
but what I look for most is your heart.
 
Your heart is who you really are.

I Want Romance

I want passion.
I want romance.
I want adventure.
I want someone who would go 
to the end of the earth to find me
and slay a dragon if he had to.
I want love that is tested
and proves to be undying.

I want to write a novel that
 will have you weeping.

My Star

For My Niece and Nephew

My Star

One day I want a star named after me
so one day when I'm gone
you can look up at the sky
and whether you see my star or not
you'll know I'm out there somewhere looking
out for you.

God's Presence

 
I felt God's presence today
He kissed me through the breezes
as I walked through the woods
 
Olivia McGuire
 
It's not that I dislike intellectuals,
but I tend to prefer people
who are down here on earth with me.

My Darling

 
In the vast desert, the green forest,
and the wild sea
my darling, my darling
you are all of me

Life Is An Amazing Journey

 
Life is an amazing journey.
So even if you are at a place where things seem barren,
keep driving...

I'm neither weird nor crazy,
you're just boring.

I'd Rather

 
I'd rather go to my grave
still believing in my dreams
to come true
than live a lifetime
without my hopes
 
 
Olivia McGuire

Sometimes I Feel

 
Sometimes I feel
beautiful
powerful
safe
whole
confident
smart
and kind
 
Sometimes I feel
ugly
weak
afraid
broken
insecure
stupid
and mean
 
Sometimes I am everything in between

Record Player and Vinyl Records

 
Happiness is your record player
and your old vinyl records.

I Win


You think I'm immature.
I think I'm fun.
I win.

A Lost Love

 
 
A lost love is like the full moon
bright, luminous, mysterious
Seems so near and so
far away at the same time
It hangs over you, right above your head
yet it is impossible to touch

Chasing Full Moon

 
 
I'm chasing a full moon.
Please God, help me catch it.

A Mother's Loss



 I remember once on a very cold and gloomy day I was craving cookies. So  I braved the cold just to get cookies from the store. I ran into this mother who lost her son in the Iraq war. I had met her at the local doughnut store the year before and she told me their tragic story. I recognized her immediately and asked her how she was and she told me she was good. Of course she wasn't. The pain in her face was deep and telling. I really wanted to reach out to her and hug her right there in the store. But because I hardly knew her, I didn't. Instead, I drove home in the rain and cried.

Robert Pattinson

 
 
Yes, I'm in a relationship with Robert Pattinson. He doesn't know who the hell I am but that's beside the point.
