DO NOT DIE LIVING IN THE PAST Please read that again. Again. Maybe thrice, so it sinks in and is embedded in your mind. Listen, readers. You are here today to live Feel blessed that you are alive. Today you have the ability to make someone smile Make a new friend Make someone's day. Don't waste it by wallowing Because you are contributing to all the negativity in the world And why be a pessimist if you can be optimistic? Why walk past someone without a simple and friendly hello? Why cry about what didn't work out and not focus on what could? You see, we complain about the world we live in But we forget we are apart of it And that we can not only change it But change it for the better And make life a little happier And the world a better place. So forget about the past Forget about your failures And focus on what matters Because all we have Is Now.

Today Is Yours, Reader.
The truth is, we all take life for granted. We just think the sun will always come up & we will be there as witness. What if you never saw the light again? To live in the darkness is do live in danger. It is toying with forbidden territory. Sometimes taboo is fun, We entertain our bored minds with thoughts of- Death Life Love Loss Light Dark What does it all mean exactly? Light shines even in a dark paradise, No matter how fall you have fallen, Yes, the sun still shines. Even though the sun falls daily, Remember you still must always rise in order to see the light- You must awake in the m o r n i n g. No matter how far you want to j u m p - DONT The light has stopped, the sun will only wait for so long W A I T with it. R I S E with it. Tomorrow is new And you have the next day too.

Morning Melancholy
Love at first sight? No son, your vision's blurry, What's encapsulating your feelings is lust Powerful, but short-lived Pleasurable through every taste But after each taste, that void to quench your thirst will remain If love is a force, lust must be an energy, Here for the moment, but we don't know how long it will last.

Love at first sight?
Apparently, we were there holding each other, Inside, trying our best to keep it together.   But, honestly we both knew Our bodies were there But, love had left.

Love left.
That moment when your brain betrays your heart It happens in slow motion and all you can do is watch.

A Different Kind of Suffering
Do you ever feel you're the least significant? Like the whole world seems to be ignorant. So ignorant they forgot your existence, So ignorant they forgot your presence. I don't want to be in oblivion, I just want to say something as you live on. The world can live without me in the picture, History can be written without me in the scripture, Students can learn without me in the lecture, You can live without me in the future. I strive to be heard, But my lips can't utter a single word. Can you feel me now? Every ounce of pain has been written down. To live in a world full of darkness, Left alone full of sadness. A constant battle between me and negativity, Lost my sanity with pain and agony. I may die in vain, Vanquish with pain

How can they look at me, when I don't even want to look at my own reflection? How can they listen to me, when I can't even take hearing my hideous voice? How can they accept my flaws, when I can't even deal with mine? How can they be happy for me, when I can't even be glad for my own sake?    How can they love me, when I can't even love my own self?

Issues
Now hope is good and hope is strong, but pain had stayed, for far too long, to see him cry and watch him fall, pain was there, through it all. This pain he knew, now all too well, had swallowed hope, and left a shell, its brittle make, a jaded shape, left nothing then, for pain to take. He cursed his name, and others too, because of pain, no one knew, but who could blame, a young mans curse, when dealt a hand, of luck reversed? To live a life, of woes unfair, plagued by strife, as fate declared, that he would know, the pain of chance, all alone, in circumstance. To make it worse, no one tried, to hear his words, and soothe his mind, they laughed at him, and mocked his pain, until he lost, all hope again. No shock then, that he had shattered, weighed down so, by years of pain, though he cared, for all that mattered, no one dared, do the same. So he gave himself, to all around, in hopes that he, could see them through, the pain they felt, when they were down, as pain to him, was nothing new.
