Quote of the day


What would you label me if you really knew who I really was
would you label me as s kind and big-hearted person.
Or would you not want to label me for labels are just not
something you are into.
You just accept that a person can be so many things and, not everything
you would have labeled them would be something they would want to be called.

of my warmth is slowly burning out as you look at the glow in my eyes fade
will you remember how wonderful I was as I walked around like an empty shell.
You will try to open me up and find out where it all went wrong, a wall of ultimate strength will block you from finding me.
You will try with all you might to break through because you promised that you would always help me find my way back when life gets to be too much.
You sweat, swear, and cry as you pound away at this wall, barely making a scratch at first.
It takes days and hours to chip away at it but finally after a long week of beating it down you finally slip inside and find me curled up into a ball.
Your warmth lights the fire in me again and we come back to reality.
My walls are forever broken by the love you have for me.
Love you want to last a lifetime but only if I believe and trust in you.
And so, you put out your hand and I choice to hold on to you no matter what comes our way
for you are my protector now and the only thing keeping evil out of me.

You conquered my soul, my heart that day
Nothing seemed to shine brighter than you.
Your smile won me over as you opened your arms up to me
You whispered away my fears and the things that hurt me.
You said as long as you lived I would be safe in your arms and I believed you,
even though I didn’t deserve your heart or soul you gave it to me freely.
I never thought I would love to smile this much but no matter what I did you made me laugh and safe at the same time.
You got me before you knew everything about me  and, I felt like this battle  I never wanted someone to win was conquered.
And I never felt so alive and in the end the love we shared was pure and true, and even though there are days when I fight against you.
I always end up fighting beside you for no one can break what we have and this battle before us will be conquered together until our time together is over.

as strong as you let me be
and sometimes it’s hard to be
more than what I think I am capable to be.
I want to grow so strong that the little things don’t
bring me down anymore.
I won’t just sit here and let it all fade away for I can’t seem to snap out of this
quick enough.
I don’t let many in for once in they are in they just disappear and then I’m left with an empty hole
of what I thought would be a friendship of a lifetime.
Life is seems too short when you living it in that moment and the next you know
someone is gone, and all it feels like is you just met them yesterday.
Will you forget who I am now?
Or remember me for what I was when I am gone?
Only you can me that choice now or live with the regret later!

I don’t agree with you and so a disagreement is started
and the fight starts out just as innocent as every other one.
But, so how this disagreement became so much bigger than just the two of us
soon others were joining in and the results were not looking good for us.
Sides had been drawn and fights were breaking out left and right and I just wish I could go back a couple of hours ago.
And just have kept my mouth shut because this is too much for me and I just can’t believe that you let it get this far.
And as the nasty things were said you just looked as if you had nothing to do with and when it finally went too far.
That was the only time you jumped up as if waken from a bad trace and said enough with this.
We need to all agree that we disagree on the matter but this has gone on long enough.

don’t know what to say anymore as the darkness swallows me whole on this Friday night.
The cold air sucks me in and no matter how much I try to find some warmth the result is not good.
I’m drowning in a frozen lake with nothing to hang onto as I slowly sink into the water so cold, but in the end I don’t feel the cold anymore  as my last breath seems to go out.
And, then like a miracle a hand reaches into the water and saves me
and I no longer feel like there is no saving me this time.
The long day turns into an even longer night and I just want to forget about the things that I don’t have anymore.
I don’t want to feel sad about the people or things no longer around and just embrace the challenge ahead.
I realized maybe I’m ghost to most but I’m light to others and as I try to continue to shine bright.
At times my light dims out and needs time to recharge as I shut down the things that bothered me before.
I try to face it all but this battle can’t be fought alone and so I take your hand and I hear you voice.
And I let you lead me to the saver and more stable side, where all the situations seem so much more clearer.
And the people are much more understandable, The attitude is approachable and not on high alert.

Luck some depend on you yo help them get through the day when they know all may fail.
But, luck you are not my first thought of the day.
Your not the one I depend on to have a great day or give me the strength to do the right thing throughout my day.
But, it is nice to feel lucky about something.
But, I won’t bet my luck on everything working out in the end.
So it’s nice knowing  that luck is out there but is it really luck that is helping you out in the end?
I’d like to say I’m lucky to have God and my family, and friends in my life.
For if I didn’t have them what luck would I have to get through life.
I wouldn’t have the energy to keep fighting this battle called life.
So I Â think I’ll keep my type of luck and keep hoping that the results will be worth it.

Sometimes I sense when the massive storm is going to hit my life
and sometimes I can stand tall during the whole situation.
But, lately I feel like the storm is winning and maybe I have met my match
and I don’t know who I will be when this thing is over.
Will I still be so nice or will my walls be back up and this time stronger than before and maybe I won’t even bat an eye lash as you walk by me.
I won’t show emotions or even acknowledgment and I know that will just shock you for I always greet you.
But, I just feel this storm might just tear down everything that I have become in a matter of seconds.
And when I come out I won’t be so sweet anymore, maybe more sour than ever and I’m not sure you can handle who I will become.
