Flames

Burn. The burning flames that engulf one cannot be extinguished. They grow hotter and hotter with each moment that passes by slowly. Water does not help. What if we stop? Just dropped everything and rolled out of the flames? Can one do that? Just drop everything and leave it all behind for the sake of themselves?

Sleepless

Sleepless nights can overpower you. The thoughts drifting by, sometimes so many, that one feels restless as they try and close their eyes. Or perhaps the sleepless night occurs in the middle of the night when you are awoken by a sudden uneasy feeling. Where nothing seems right and all you can think about is I want to go back to sleep. Why at the most trivial times do thoughts we want to forget appear so easily? They rush at you like a train gearing up for a head on collision. Nothing can be done, nothing can stop the memories and unwanted thoughts. Just try and sleep now, everything will be alright in the morning. It may be hard but relax, we will get through this. Just you and me.

Smile

There is a certain point that people reach to where it is hard for them to continue on. For each person, this time is different or the circumstance is different. Some may just reach the block by having cancer and there is no treatment. Some may reach it early on in there life through too much stress. Some people call this depression. It comes in many shapes and sizes. It is not smaller nor larger than the other. Just the people are different. Do not judge one another, instead smile. It may just be what both of you need without realizing it.

Just Run

I just want to run

Run away from all the problems one can hold

They chase after me, try to catch me.

They make me feel lost and alone,

My words have lost all meaning

They have made sure that was to happen.

I can’t take this anymore,

I am still waiting for them to stop hating.

Will I ever fill this loneliness?

Will it ever stop?

It's Time To Say Goodbye

The weight has become too much to bare

This constant need to be perfect.

When does one have the right to say stop,

When does one have the right to say enough?

Everyone expects the best, and yet..

Yet the worst is to come.

You can’t help but think,

Will anyone miss me?

You always cared

More than anyone knew.

It’s too late now

All they can do is cry, nothing will fix this.

It’s time to say goodbye,

Nothing is left here.

No more darkness

Just light that you have always longed for.

Tears in the Wind

The wind blows as a gentle breeze,

Her hair being tousled around her almond face.

Tears start to slowly form

And move down her rosey cheeks.

The breeze takes her weeping cries

Carrying them through the empty rose fields.

No one can hear her

No one knows of her pain.

She is strong, a fighter.

It is only when she is alone

Alone with the wind does she cry.

Ten seconds

Ten seconds, that is all it took

No one really expected it to happen

Ten seconds, for someone to fall apart

For that lonely tear to fall

Ten seconds, for that dream to fade

The faith of one disappearing into thin air

Ten seconds, to realize life is all just that

Life is just ten seconds to dream

Past memories of light

It has been awhile since anything has been said. A lot can happen in just a short time. Why is it that bad news comes so often and yet the good news shys away. In the past bad news did not effect you because you were so young. The older you get, the harder it is to bare. When will all this madness stop? When will there be just good news? Too many deaths all so soon. Looking at the memories of the past is all you can do. Remembering those happy times, the times you always laughed and never cried. That is what you should look forward to. Not the darkness and endless pit of sorrow. 

Dare

Dreams are fragile things. They are to be held with a delicate hand, careful not to crush. They can be imagined all in a blink of an eye and sometimes gone within seconds. Don't be dismayed however. Dreams are wonderful, and something amazing to experience. The risk of having a dream is a little thrilling to the people who seek. As Herb Brooks once said, "We should be dreaming. We grew up as kids having dreams, but now we're too sophisticated as adults, as a nation. We stopped dreaming. We should always have dreams."

Snow

The snow falls gently over the frozen ground. It looks so beautiful, seeing the crystals in the snow that sparkle as the sun rises or sets. This majestic scene makes everything that goes on in the world seem so obsolete. The snow is just a metaphor for life almost. It can be so beautiful and magical looking at it, but only at certain times when the sun hits it just right. Once you step outside into the snow, however, it awakens you. The snow is cold to the touch, making your whole body shiver if you stay out to long. You have to protect yourself against this cold weather, bundle up and be prepared. Always be prepared for what life will have to throw at you. Sometimes you may not like it, and it can be hard. If you tough it out, you will be able to see the beauty and magic in life. Just like the snow has to offer you if you look for it.

Beyond the stars

Dreaming of what lies beyond the stars is what everyone does. Everyone wishes to believe in a better life after death. The afterlife is one thing that scares people about dying. Choosing to believe in a wonderful blissful place is the choice of the person, but just the thought of being with loved ones who have passed is wonderful. Losing a brother, parents and a son. A man dies and is able to be with them. To be with a son he never met, parents he has been so long without, and a brother who he lost so close to his own death. Having to leave your beloved ones behind is hard, and to fight and lose is even harder. To be with your other loved ones again though is a blessing. No one will forget you, just waiting to be embraced by the hugs you give when able to see you again.

Don't be afraid of spreading your wings. Many people will try to bring you down but don't let them ever do it. You own your life, you decide your own fate. It will be hard, but everything worth wild in this world is worth fighting for.
