You’ll know. You’ll understand. Until then,
hold on tight, my dear. Don’t lose the light.
Even though life seems hard for now,
you’ll make it through this dark night.
Take a Chance
How does one control their actions in such a way where they forget what’s important? I don’t want to just be forgotten. I want to be remembered for something extraordinary. If only there was a way everything could be blocked out to where nothing mattered except for what you needed to get done. What if you could live in a bubble and only focus on your immediate surroundings and forget the outside world. Life would be simpler if that could happen but it wouldn’t be real because people would only be focusing on themselves not others. If we had a choice to only focus on ourselves and not pay attention to the outside world, please don’t decide to live in that bubble and trap yourself off to relationships and community. Sure, the world gets hard. It gets difficult to power through while not forgetting who you are, but no matter how difficult the world gets around us, we need to keep pushing forward. We need to keep helping those around us, and keep influencing actions that inspire new ideas.
I believe that everybody was put on this world to inspire others. So break out of that shell, pop the bubble, open up to others and let them help you. You will be helping them in return by creating bonds and relationships incomparable to materialistic possessions or solitude. Personally, I don’t want to do nothing worthwhile with my life. I don’t want to just go through school receiving meaningless grades, just to have a career that doesn’t do any good for others. I want to be the one that has a purpose. I will go out and risk my life with that purpose in mind. I will do what I have to to make a difference in this world and to touch the lives of those around me. I will give anything to just have a chance to be the positive change someone needs. One chance is all it takes.
So if you get that chance to help somebody, take it. It doesn’t have to be risking your life, it could be as simple as smiling at somebody as you pass them in the store or giving a helping hand to somebody who needs you to carry their bags. Take the opportunity make a difference in the world. I believe that everybody has the opportunity to do good; that everybody is able to make a difference in those around them and able to touch the lives of those who need it most.
Stand up, make a difference, and show the world where you belong.
Pinky Promise
It’s not a ring
But baby you are my King
And I want to be your Queen
With this bracelet
I pinky promise to stay by your side
I will hold your hand
And be your guide
Through the ups and downs
Whether we are happy or sad
I pinky promise
To be the one who
Makes you happy again
We will laugh
We will cry
But honey I want to forever call you mine
I know it’s not a ring
But with this bracelet
A promise I make
I pinky promise to love you
With every step I take
Every breath I breathe
And every heartbeat
Until we close our eyes
For the very last time
Reflection
Some people look in the mirror
And see someone they don’t want to be
But don’t be discouraged
By the reflection you see
It only shows the person you wish
you could change
And maybe that can be arranged
I’m telling you now
That what you see isn’t real
It’s what society has told you
And it isn’t true
So maybe instead of changing your looks
Try changing your mindset
And you’ll start to see yourself
The way I see you
This may be just me
But I see someone with great potential
Someone who is influential
A person who has fought to be strong
To figure out where they belong
Someone who is beautiful
Not only inside but out too
So look again
But from a different perspective
And perhaps you’ll find
That you’re not defective
Numbers in my Head
143
This code
This line of numbers
So many possibilities of what it could be
For now only meant to be known by me
143
I want to scream
I want to shout
Let the world know that without a doubt
143
You might be confused
But to me it makes sense
This string of numbers
That hold so much significance
143
I want to say it to your face
I want to be strong
But here I am
Writing how I feel about you
In this notebook on my phone
143
You cracked the passcode
Bypassed my security
Just like you did my heart
Though in my eyes you’ll see no fury
Just
143
I’ll tap it on your arm
Or while we are holding hands
It’s so subtle
So soft
But speaks volumes of the feelings I have for you
143
For now all I will say
Is I really like you
And hope someday
I will have the strength to tell you
What I have written here today
Stand to Fight
Hidden away from the world and from the conversation.
Resigned, content, never assigning a designation.
People do not realize or see how much they show and share,
They continuously speak and don’t seem to ever care.
An experiment, a puzzle, a quiet little test,
To discover if there’s something different among the rest.
Slowly someone rises to meet the challenges set forth,
Determining to each other what others may be worth.
But as soon as they started out, they fell back with worry,
Running from the ideal set before them in a hurry.
Then another arises to take on the task ahead,
Only to be caught between fear and the tears that they shed.
Nobody else there willing to rise up and take a stand.
No one here in this world will dare to give a helping hand.
Then suddenly as if a message was sent through the dust,
A hero approaches the problem knowing someone must.
A brave, simple citizen not known to many around,
A soldier to fight the battles in the name of the town.
Ordinary people have the power to create change,
And show all those around that heroism has no range.
Stand up to what you believe in because you have the right,
Never let fear diminish your own starkly dazzling light.
The Distance Between
You are over there
I am over here
It feel like miles
It feels like an eternity
I wish you were sitting right beside me
When you’re away
I look at the sky and think
You and me
We see the same thing
The same stars and constellations
The same sun and blue sky too
For a brief moment,
A second
A minute
We’re connected
And the distance between us
Isn’t so bad
Then reality hits me again
I lose my breathe
Tears roll down my cheek
Suddenly
You are over there
I am over here
All I Ask
They say love is blind
You never see it coming
Which is true since technically we met
Out of the blue
I promised myself I wouldn’t rush
Said I would never be quick
to fall in love again
But you swept me off my feet
Made my heart soar
And baby dont you know
It’s so hard to get my feet back on the floor
Your humor astounds me
Your laugh makes my day
You always find ways to show
What a true gentlemen you are
I can’t stop looking in your eyes
I never want to say goodbye
I’m scared to fall too hard
That what we have will end
I’m not asking for forever
That seems a bit too much yeah?
I just want a chance.
A chance to find real love
Is that to much to ask?
World Beyond Sight
Relief spreads across like a layer of dust,
Covering what it touches, but missing some spots.
The stress temporarily heeded off,
Nevertheless leaving it’s holder with knots.
Steady winds blow over the ground,
Embarking on a journey for a new land.
Suffering will continue this way,
Reaching the realm beyond what can.
Sorrow being flushed out of sight,
But happiness not appearing.
The universe creating everlasting light,
But preventing darkness from fading.
Winter woods casting shadows over life,
Tsunamis engulfing what is in sight.
Disasters existing all around us,
Don’t let that prevent you from doing what’s right.
Truth
The truth?
I’m scared.
I’ve fallen for you
And I just dont know what to do
These feelings In my heart
Wont go away
They’re here to stay
Boys I have dated in the past
Have told me they loved me
And it didn’t last
I’m afraid to love you
Cause in doing so
I give you the power to crush me
But also to love me
I’m afraid to give too much
Just to get little in return
I’m tired of fighting for something
That’s gone in a blur
I’m afraid to be blinded by my affection for you
That I can’t see the truth
And my friends?
They’re far away
Too far to give advice
Besides, what would they say?
The truth?
I think I’m hopelessly in love with you
And theres nothing I can do
One day
This goes to everyone who wanted to make it
but they couldn’t take it
the world had to take their soul and break it
and even I couldn’t save it
I’m sorry for the calls I didn’t make
the skin I didn’t see lost
the pattern had laid itself to be clear
but so cleverly disguised
If only the signs were clearer
but they were; the eyes were closed
and now the stars shine with one less lens to watch
maybe the spirits dance with the lost tonight
but for now I stand here still
I serve to protect and help
hopefully it’s enough one day
Hidden Hardships
Life is a struggle,
Life is a journey,
Life will beat you down,
Life is a tourney.
Constant competition,
continuous comparison.
It feels like everything comes crashing down like the moon collapsing from the sky.
Hardships that are too hard to bear, events where you cannot cry.
Everyone has this one point where they are so beaten they’re blank.
It’s like the emotions build up, are too much, and then close away.
Do not let this happen, or at least don’t let it last,
Control your emotions, do not leave them in the past.
Trust others to share the burdens with you,
Unite together to give each other a tissue.
By believing that there is a place where you belong,
By knowing that by being sad, you’re not wrong,
By seeing that even when events turn upside down,
You’re friends are with you here to turn your life around.
Life is worry,
Life is pain,
Life is strife,
Life will beat you again.
No matter what pain you have,
Share it with those who care,
For the worst thing you can ever do,
Is never actually share.
Inner Struggle
The struggle that is shown in every action,
every motion,
every expression.
People choose to not see the pain,
to refrain,
to abstain.
They do not care how one feels inside
Just put on a good show then run and hide.
Why do we feel like we cannot be ourselves?
trapped inside,
hands being tied.
Bottling up emotions of suffering.
of grief,
of disbelief.
We must be honest with each other
If we ever expect to be there for one another.
But try as we might we might we still cannot glow.
push down regret,
tell ones to not fret.
Stop this cycle of self-disdain,
Open yourself up to love again.
Trust that they are there for you,
Through the hurt, they still love you.
Let them in to your heart and you will see,
The undying love of friends and family.
New Life
Why have you forsaken me?
Isn’t being away from home enough?
Why must you continue to throw more my way.
How did this road become so rough?
There is so much anger and fear,
And it is trapped inside of me, here.
I wish it had somewhere to vent,
But my life is trapped inside this tent.
Injuries that keep coming around,
Music that can make no sound.
Marching until I can not anymore,
Hustling until being hit by a door.
I miss the ability to speak whenever,
I miss the chance to go wherever.
I miss the home I had with my family and friends,
I miss the life I thought could never end.
Don’t get me wrong, I love life here,
But after a while it just creates tears.
A new life with new opportunities to seize,
An old life with friends and family to leave.
Uphill Battle
My time you take up
With constant worry and strife
My life you’ve engulfed
But you will not defeat me.
No matter how many expectations,
No matter the regulations,
You will not cause me to quit.
You will not force me to lose my grit.
I will stand after the battle,
I will hold on.
You will not make me rattle,
I will stand strong.
Sometimes I feel beaten and down,
You turn my life and schedule around.
But I will never give up the fight,
For I will battle for my rights.
Green shields may hold me,
But they will never bound me.
I will not be here for eternity,
For when I achieve this, I will be free.
My life you make up
With continuous stressing.
But just being here’s,
An everlasting blessing.
