Live Your Life

Today I woke with the worst headache that I have ever had. It made the sirens that echoed in the background pound inside of my skull. My alarms continued to go off, and I continued to smash my fist on the snooze button. The truth is I didn't have the motivation to get out and participate in this game the world plays. My legs were so sore from all of the walking that I have been doing. My eyes were moist like before it rains before the storm, but I won't cry. Distraction is the key when dealing with death in this world. We are taught that there is a time for everything, but lately I have been losing my sight on things. I have been burying myself in my work, so I didn't have to see the lifelessness of my uncle lying in his coffin. I can only picture every once in awhile because it brings me to tears. I have always written about losing someone you love, but I never knew what it actually felt like. A father figure that changed my way of thinking, someone that was actually a man, and took care of business, someone that took me in when I needed a place to stay. It's weird I have never felt this way before It's like I have been completely blank. I had no words for the first time in my life. No poems to write about...nothing. I also realized how important it is to live your life. Quit complaining about every little thing in your life, and live your life. It's very important to be positive. God doesn't step out and say "Hey you are going to die here." So do what you can with what you have. We aren't all millionaires, and can go out do anything we want to, and as people we just have to get used to it. I know my life has brought me lots of pain, but on the same note I have had my share of good times. Sometimes I wonder if I will make it to the day I have a family of my own, but each day is something new entirely. It's a fresh start....whatever happened the day before just forget about it. Take one day at a time. Stop worrying about what will happen three days from now...today is what is important. Sometimes I worry to much...I look out in that great big world, and I worry about all those people that are struggling to survive. I worry about how it will end, but all things happen for a reason, and we are here to learn, and grow. So that's what I will do learn and grow.

Warning Sign to a Lost Connection

I'm losing a little bit of me inside. All of the breakdowns drive them to hide. I'm wandering around hoping to find something that will never be true. My mind is spinning away from me. I can't see what's in front of me. I tried to be someone else, but the pain doesn't go nowhere else. I WANT TO BREAK!! I want to fall to my knee's. I want to scream out loud. I can't take this anymore. I'm stuck in this hole, and there is nobody to dig me out. With my back up against the wall, I can't see my dreams when your standing in my way. I'm staring at the future begging for the past. I know the good times, but they don't ever last. I WANT TO BREAK!! I want to fall to the floor. I want to scream out loud. I don't think I can take this anymore! My heart is still beating, but my breathing is getting weaker with all of this weight on top of my chest. I keep on fighting these angels wrestling these demons to the ground. I keep on walking until I los...

The Weight

rain falls from the blackness in the sky, the water soaks the earth. here we stay a float, but slowly we are drowning. the mud grabs us by the ankles, pulling us into the ground. everyday is a struggle to move. With all of these days, we carry out this weight, walking closer to the pavement. we tippy toe across the marsh, crashing faster each time. crushed to our knees, our hearts slow to a beat. we question our strength, savoring every last drop, like the very last scotch. and at the end of the day, when the moon covers the view. your soft hand pressures, then squeeze’s these muscles and slowly cracks the bones, you push down upon me, I pray you don’t break me. With all the pain and agony, we continue to push forward, but we question our lives, always struggling to stand up straight. fearing our inevitable fate. carrying this horrible weight. Note; In all honesty this is about the world and the struggle to live, have faith in God, but the weight some t...

Where I Belong

It is such a marvelous light, This beautiful ray still shines during, The darkest part of the night. How selfish are we to take what isn't ours, We build on the beauty of your world. We take down trees and burn them to the ground. We turn what is rightfully yours into a wasteland. We dig until we can’t stand anymore, And we blame you for our mistakes. We are abusing what was once beautiful. I will follow your beauty to the edge, And when I know where you are, it is where I want to be. When I don’t know where you are, you are where I belong. Here I am breathing just to breathe, I am dreaming just to dream. So quick to take advantage of all you give me. Here I hurt because she has hurt me, And I bleed because he has cut me. I am so quick to blame everyone else. Here I am fearing just to fear him, I stay awake because I believe I am free, And do what I want because I think I have the control, But you’re the only one to put me in ...
