Life is made up of so much
A journey starting from a single cry
And ending with a single breath
Something made up of more than just a good bye

From the memories made in the past
To the time in the present
From the expectations of the future
To the promises beyond the limits

Friendship conquers love
And love conquers promises
Promises conquer fear
And fear conquers anxiety
But from all of the above
Comes death, which conquers all

Friendship starts from strangers of two
And increases to affection for you
The blossom of trust between you two
Is something that is sincerely true

Love is a candle of admiration
That leaves the heart at seek of passion
It’s like a soft and gentle touch
Of dreams, smiles, and compassion
But love can leave in a snap or two
Leaving the heart aching for you

Promises have a bond of trust
That is meant to be trussed
But even at the times of pain
I’m still trapped with you by a gruesome chain

Soon I learn to cry and scream
With your name under my breath
But then I learn the truth
No one can hear me

For it’s all within my heart
And soon I see instant death
And learn so much leads to a shattered heart
That soon pulls you and me apart

And soon fear eats me alive
Taking all my dreams and my life
I break and stab my heart for peace
But all I get is just more greiff

I remember all the times
That were filled with we instead of only you and me
I remember your single smile
Which brought me all the spirit that life was worth the while

The eyes filled with nothing but love and hope
Hope for more time with you
But maybe it was all a lie
Like a penguin saying that it could fly

Day by day
I turn anxious for you
But soon remember from all the pain
That there’s nothing I can do
To turn one into two

But still I feel like I can
Do something to make one into two
But soon I see at what you have done
Something that made me dead before I had begun

I see you with someone else
Someone who looked like a star from the clean night sky
And the breeze on the warm summer day
Someone who seemed to be
The boulder on the path
The path with you at one end
And me at the other

And soon the heart that had stitched hardly to be one
Was broken and I was done
I hated seeing everything
That was related to you
From the necklace on my neck
To the cards in the desk
I teared and shredded and broke all that I could
Everything that made me feel
As if I could break down and sooner or later be able to heal

But I remembered one thing
Even during the time of sting
To never tell you
All that I had seen
To keep a smile on the face that was seen by all
And let the pain in my heart grow more and more
As the days, months and years goes by
For to lie and cry is better than to die
However I knew one thing
And that was this

A tree can’t speak because it has no tongue
And a flower can’t cry because it has no eyes
But no one knows where they are stung
And not showing it is better
Even if they can’t
Because life’s troubles don’t stay for too long
If you have done nothing wrong

Maybe pain is meant to be in my life
And all I have to do is think
About all that I have done
And then maybe the pain will be reduced to none

And with this I soon begin to wonder
What life really is?
Is friendship and love all fake?
And is it’s only job to keep your heart at ache?

Are promises meant to be bonds of lies?
Are lies meant to be spread?
Do people ignore you for being different?
Are they embarrassed at you for who you are?

I than remembered the old and
Cherished something new
I had changed myself for the one I had loved
All to get respect and appreciation from my beloved

I had changed my personality for the world
Changed the good into new
And when I needed them the most
All they did was say adios
But what I really should have done
Was care more about myself before anyone
And then maybe I would have seen
That being me to myself was more than
being someone’s so called queen

I should have stayed me
The crazy and wacky me
The funny and impatient me
The nerdy and geeky me
The clumsy and neaty me
But it was too late though
When I realized
That the only thing I should have done
Was to have stayed me

Do people appreciate only beauty?
Not what one has on the inside?
And when they find what they need,
Do they leave others behind?

Are people supposed to keep everything in?
From the screams to the cries?
Keeping all of the pain
That would soon reach beyond the skies?

Why is this world so blind?
Does it see love as a game?
Something that is played and won.
And soon burned like coal is in the flame?

I now think that life is all fake
But soon I see a ray of light
A light with no limit
And that is my only and one spirit

This spirit is my family
With whom I spent my whole life with
The people that held my finger
When I first learned to walk

And I see the ray of hope
That I thought was gone
And soon I feel what I should have all my life
I feel courage and persistence

That life brings times of difficulty
To test your ability
Of courage and hope
And all your job is
To keep the tears away
And fight with a smile till the end of day

That your loved ones are always there
And they never leave
And they are like the happiness that children get
When they see it’s Christmas Eve

Remember that life is filled with ups and downs
That there can be times of joy
And others of pain
But when all may seem like it’s gone
Remember three things

Life is made up of so much more than birth and death
It’s more than a single cry or a single breath
It’s made of choices
That have all life’s single voices

It may be that one day
You might feel broken and as if you have lost your way
But never forget that when no one if there for you
Your family comes out of the path

To show that they are there for you
When you are lost and has no clue of what to do
And than you realize in one moment
That they are given to you as a key to fight the opponent

If a butterfly can fly such a great distance
And an ant can carry more than it’s own weight
Who says that there’s no one in one’s life
To be there to change their fate?
