You sit down and the marathon begins
no interruptions is what you desire.
As you face your screen and the show begins, you have all the right snacks and drinks.
The show begins and you watch for hours and hours.
Taking breaks in between, but if rudely interrupted the ugly in you is surely to come out.
Marathons sometimes don’t always end very well.

She was an exquisite person
always with a smile on her face.
She didn’t seem to complain much just
took everything a moment at a time.
So breath-taking when she created something
from nothing.
Always amazed at what she could do when time was
on her side.

something inside of me that is awakening this morning and it feels so right and it feels like home.
I’m on my way to seeing the bigger picture of who I’m suppose to be, I’ve thrown away all the things that made me doubt myself and made me crawl into the hole of darkness.
The darkness that seemed to control my life for so long that I couldn’t see the people who care for me.
But, that darkness doesn’t exist in my present as the light out shines everyone who doesn’t know the real me.
You see I used to be so broken that the pieces that were there won’t enough to keep me going and, as I fought to keep up this wall that kept the real me hidden.
It was failing so bad that pretending wasn’t option for me anymore and I had to act quick or I would be seen as weak and not in the right mind.
So I fought with all my might and I realized my worth didn’t depend on where I wasn’t in my life and what I wasn’t doing.
So yea I’m not doing what they say I should be but, I don’t care because I’ve never been in such a better place in my life.
There’s something awakening inside of me right now and I won’t trade it in for what you may be doing in your life.
For my happiness and well-being is more important to me, so back off for my ending will only end in knowing I did what I was supposed to do and if you really cared you support me no matter what.

My feelings are unseen today as you walk my way with no smile on your face
I begin to wonder what’s wrong but you just don’t seem to care to talk to me.
You wave me off and continue to walk on, like I’m not the ear you need to listen to your problems.
And soon you have pushed me away more than once and I become invisible to you completely, you walk by me like I don’t exist anymore.
But, when life seems to be treating you well you’re around me and you seem to care and then the cycle of not having the greatest day comes around again and I become a nobody again.
When will you see my feelings again or will they always be unseen to you in the end.

I thought I was capable of saying what I need to say but every time I open my mouth to say it, it never seems to come out and so the opportunity seems to pass me by again and again.
I keep wondering if I’m truly capable of just facing my fears and spilling it all to you and truly just letting it go and when it’s all said and done.
I will feel so delighted and strong enough to embrace your answer and accept the outcome of the situation.
I’m capable of whatever comes my way and I’m not going to be afraid anymore, for all I know the outcome may not be so bad after all.

Thinking about you brings so much joy to me that I wonder is something really happening between us, as I look deeply into your eyes I begin to see it all play out in front of me.
As I hear the beating of my heart match the beating of your heart, I realize we only have this time together.
Before life rips us apart and our time split in so many ways it will be a miracle if we see each other again.
But, even apart my thoughts always lead back to you and when time gives me a break I’m there for you and I always lose track of time after that.
But, I know no second or minute, or hour is wasted when it’s spent on helping you.

Someday I will wake up and not feel like something is missing from my life
and maybe the doubts won’t be so big.
Maybe that day will come soon enough because the waiting is the worst thing to be dealing with right now.
Someday I will have it all and will that still be enough, I don’t know but when that day comes I’ll let you know.

To be clinging to a hope that things are going to get better and then believing it can be a powerful thing.
But, what about when you’re clinging to something and no one seems to get it.
Yet, you don’t give up even when the hope to you seems so real and successful.
You cling to what you feel is right and in the end you’re not disappointed because, you put your heart in it and ended with the goal.
You had in mind and let all the others move on and cling to their own hope and cheer them on when no one else does.

I feel the uneven ground beneath me and I begin to stumble all around.
When had my life become so unbalanced that I can’t seem to be able to see the truth around me.
I try with all my might to grab hold of the things that make me stable and nothing seems to be holding strong.
And it all seems to crumble at my touch making my life so uneven with no solution insight.
And I begun to ask myself how did I get here and how can I overcome this moment and raise up to a balanced life again!

I want to shine my light on you and take away all your darkness
But I don’t know if my light will be enough to take away all your pain.
But even if I feel it won’t be enough, that won’t stop me from trying to shine my light on you and take away as much darkness as I can.
Knowing that some of your pain was gone would make me believe that anything is possible and that one day your light will shine bright again too.
My friend.

with this feeling slowly growing inside of me as my eyes begin to open and my heart begins to melt.
Everything that used to be so cold inside me is no more and I wonder what has woken me this time of year.
A new start I was looking for, I wonder is this it or am I just falling into another trap.
When will I truly know this is where I’m meant to be and am I suppose to feel this way right now.

The desire to have infinite amount of time to create great memories would be great.
To have infinite amount of hugs, kisses.
Infinite is something we know we don’t get for our timing is only limited to the time we have been granted.
We never know when the end would be, and so we spend as much time as we can doing the things we love and spending it with the people we care about.
But, will it ever be enough for some of us as days go by and we don’t seem to be able to spend the time we want with each other.
An infinite amount of time may help us all but would it end up being too much time for some.

disappear when you are near me.
But, invisibility isn’t a trait I’ve developed and so every time you come around I try with all my might not to turn into jello.
I want to act normal and not feel like when you’re around I can’t seem to stop the fast beating of my heart.
The slowness of the time we spend together but some how you seem so calm and collected.
You smile and the wood inside of me catches fire and warmth spreads inside of me and the coldness of the winter soon fades from my mind.
You dance around me like the flames of the fire dancing around inside of me, your movement so smooth and defined.
You are the bright star I’ve been looking for every night I look up at the sky and wonder what is it that’s missing from my life.
You came out of nowhere and you stamped your claim on my life, my heart before I could blink an eye.
And you made it clear you won’t going anywhere and in my heart and my mind I believed and trusted your word.

floating around in my head as I try to recall the specific moment that I just truly fell in love
with music that every time I have writers block or just need a pick up.
All I know is the moment my headphones go on and the music starts to play in my ears this feeling of happiness just flows inside me and I smile for the little things in life that may be bothering me just disappear.
And I’m transported into a world of nothing but great moods and feelings of pure happiness and it just makes me appreciate the voice singing to me.
For who would I be if music wasn’t available to me?
A question I don’t know the answer to but, I do know who I am today has a lot to do with God and somewhere a long the way he opened my ears for music just means more to me.
He opened a new door to me and that specific moment changed everything for me and there hasn’t been a day that I have forgotten that.
