Alone

Alone is delicious

There is no one to see.

I can eat these low clouds

and the body of wind

that’s turning them into rolling

tumbleweed, eat with my hands,

get crumbs over everything.

crumbs of clouds on my nose, in

my fingernails, clouds smeared

all over my shirt and chin.

I can lick the clouds off my fingers

and no one can see or care if

I have as much dresser as I want.

I just reach into those blue

holes that I’ve left and pull out

whole fistfuls of sky, of infinity.

It’s tasteless and so hard

I can chew it for hours.

Can we curl up like a caterpillar.

And turn away from the darkness and break out of our shells of protection.

And become something so beautiful that only the light can shine from within us.

Is it possible that the length of this life we have lived so far.

Is as beautiful as the length of a breath taking rainbow over the sky.

I see you for who you are and I want you to know your amazing.

Knowing you is worth it for I want to laugh to the memories that we made.

And play them back inside of my mind when your gone.

Spending time with you is always an joy.

Even though much is not said it’s worth the couple of minutes or hours I get with you.

I’m coming alive as the music reaches my ear.

I close my eyes to truly let the beat and voice be all I hear.

Today could be anything because I will do the impossible and nothing can stop me.

I move to the beat as I sit here alone in my room.

And I feel so free as the stress of this world melts from my  shoulders.

I feel so alive that I want to just smile, laugh, dance to the sound of my freedom and peace.

So many emotions spinning around

inside of me that I don’t know what to do.

I want to scream

I want to cry

I want to say something, anything  to break this overwhelming feeling of losing control.

I want to know what’s wrong with me.

Overload and I’m crashing and burning and it all goes dark for how long I’ll never know.

You try to be strong for yourself
Because your tired of feeling down.
Your days are long and sometimes you try to sleep them a way.
The fire burning inside of you is burning so strong and bright.
It’s telling you to keep going and don’t give up.
Even when your fate seems like it’s not ever going to look good.
Just remember the fire inside of you was made to not burn out.
And all you have to do is ask for help and the strength from your fire will carry you through your sad days.

I wish you knew how

much your worth.

Then maybe your days wouldn’t

be so full of hate.

So mad at the world for

it made you do things you

want to forget.

You want to believe there’s no

hope for you, but there is and it’s

living inside of me waiting for you

to claim it.

By believing in yourself and knowing your worth it all.

There is a battle inside of me

that is always about to tear

me apart.

There is a battle inside of me

that is always winning

by shining it’s light on all the

darkness inside of me.

There  is a battle inside of me

that is always lasting for

a long time.

i wish it would end with a

great victory of the light wining.

With nothing but good feelings of

joy and happiness left inside of me.

It’s so quiet out there

as the darkness swallows

everything in sight.

And it’s not even night time yet

but it’s getting hard for me to see now.

Did I go right at the light post or left to get here.

I think I might be lost and I can’t

seem to find my flashlight to light

my way back home tonight.

We talk

We laugh

We get loss in time

As the words pour out of  our mouth .

We think of what to say next

and will it keep being this fun.

As the night slowly but surely

comes to an end.

I didn’t know tonight would be so

great as we said good night.

I fell asleep with a smile on my

face, wishing tonight was not all we have.

Lord, I need you

I want you

Am I selfish when I decide when I need you?

Am I ever going to learn from my wrongs?

Or will the circles of destruction keep going on and on?

I need you and will that ever be enough for me!

I lay my soul down for you.

So you could know the way that I live

And How I make it in life.

My life is like everyone else but

different in many ways.

That’s just how life is and I do not mind

if tomorrow is terrible because life is full of ups and downs.

Life’s like a big mountain full of people

who just want to get along.

However, in life there are different kinds of people

who wish for better days in their world

Or  the one’s that just want to bring misery to others.

We will never understand somethings in life for it will always be

a mystery to us all.
