24/M/American I'm here to learn and share.
Nothing is free Even when you breath It's to fullfil a need Taken with greed Ignoring the pleads For the very same need Belonging to you Or belonging to me It's dangerous to need Especially When needs can bleed Rarely is it seen The true value need The price of free Is more costly than greed A price that is valued Against someone else's needs Nothing is free Nothing is ever free Weight out the costs How valuable are your needs

Free To Need
I am most happy when I live life fully and ambitiously. When the pursuit of my goals are met with accomplishments, and when you have undoubtable faith in not only yourself, but in us as a team. I love you endlessly and passionately, so much so that at times it frightens me how much I love you, but with that being said all you need to know is that I happily embrace the fear. You are both a mystery and lifelonged companion to me. You amaze me as much as you frustrate me, and I without question, would give up the world for you. I love you and I'm very sorry. So **** tomorrow and every tomorrow that may come after it, but know this, I will live today and every other today is happily as I possibly can, with you.

**** You, It's Always Tomorrow
Today was the worst day of my life Was I always destined for a life like this The days are stirring, wildly unpredictable Best part is, I get to do it all over again Day after day it never seems to end Of course, I never thought life could be this My heart races with tomorrow coming soon Life is short and this is the life I live

Perspective
When I was little I was taught a lesson That I control all that is destined Of my life and how I live And from that lesson I listened In the next day My teacher said Today is a day to pretend Gather round and close your eyes Then tell me what you'd like to be If you could be absolutely anything I raised my hand without a doubt And when I was called I said out loud If I could be anything, I'd be "Y" Because "Y" is in ever(y)thing And "Y" can be an(y)thing No no you don't understand You need to try again she said But I learned a lesson That I control all that is destined Of my life and how I live And I want to be (Y) I said But why Because when people try but don't understand They'll ask why and I'll help them learn And when people are rude and say why should I care I want to be there to say, I care And when people are sad and ask why me I'll be there to say it's going to be okay I always want to be with (y)ou so that we're never alone And because I want to be in the middle of Happ(y)ness Happiness is spelled with and "I" my teacher said I know But "Y"

Happ"y"ness
The rain falls on the cobble stone wall She is tall, young with perfectly long hair Black and gray is all that is today The rain falls on her open toed shoes Her cheecks are full, her breath is heavy A little chilly for the fifth of September Her skin like silk, damp and freckled The rain falls in the most perfectly sad way Drop by drop on the cobble stone wall One by one under her freckled brow Black and gray, black and gray The church bell crashes, at the perfect hour The day is gray but her eyes have color Deep and rich with depth like the sea Falling in deeper, and deeper Impossible to look away Searching and searching under sheets of gray Only to find the reason to say It feels a bit warmer on this September day Looking into the eyes of young beauty Reminding the soul of all past laughs And easing the mind of tomorrow's woes The rain falls on us all But as long as there is color Those are the reasons We look into each other

The Fifth of September
When I think of you I think of how time has endlessly past and stalled by the fading yet constant memory of you The memories of now and the memories of then are told differently in my head Because as you now I have an overactive imagination At Sunday night I drove you home it was quiet and uneventful with you sleeping right next to me What I remember is a Sunday I could not end Like a scene from a film the lighting of the street lamps perfectly placed to reveal your natural grin, as if to hint to the audience that you liked me too What I remember is the beginning middle and end over romantic film that has been rewritten over and over again Because as you know I have an overactive imagination All the chasing playing laughing and cake throwing All the *** and the dancing and every time we sat there and did nothing Flashes like a montage of our greatest hits What I remember is a plot of a romantic masterpiece one that can satisfy anyone's needs But as you know I have an overactive imagination And although I enjoy the show it was built off of exaggerations over past The truth is it's been a very long time and I'm not sure if we'd be able to add anything new Our story was one about an incredibly kind and beautiful girl Who fell in love with a boy who was more brave and determined than anyone else, when it came to love But there it goes my overactive imagination We'd love each other then It doesn't mean we'd love each other now What it comes down to is that I'm not as brave as I used to be, when it comes to our love So I quietly watch this film Until the film wears thin

Lovely Memories

When you do bad things you never expect that they will happen to you But if you believe in karma its inevitable that you'll get what's coming to you When life becomes too heavy in reality. I display it on the sliver scene in my head Like watching a sad film that I can't look away from. Because its just one of those nights that I want to be sad I am no better or worse then the stars in my film. Yet I feel all their sadness all their struggle and every bit of their repentance She's the lead role tonight, still sleeping in our bed. She is always beautiful on the silver screen, when she smiles and plays...but tonight I'm watching a sad film And all I see is her sadness and mine She's sleeping in our bed next to the space that I wish I've always filled She is beautiful in her sleep and I am tired of this film. I want too look away but my eyes are glued to the screen I know I should lay down in the space next to her. The space that can only be filled by me tonight She is the star of my film and we have both played our separate roles. But I am tired these old films. So tonight I fill in that space And as I lay there next to her, I close my eyes, cutting to black Hoping for a happy ending

Silver Screen
The man with the hand that is uncomfortable to hold It is rough and sharp with no feeling really at all Except for that spot where he trimmed at the nail Not again he says, no no, not my nail The clippers he used that went too deep He only intended to keep appearances neat To be seen like the man with the hand of a soldier Broken and beaten, but with a veil placed over So no one will know that he still feels pain He grabs course rock and weilds hot flame Forging the hand that belongs to a man To be hard and tough this is his plan But in that spot where he trimmed at the nail The fire is too hot and the rocks painful They scratch and burn at his sensitive skin He stares at the spot where is nail should've been Its the first true pain since he scared his skin Remembering the hand that belonged to a boy Comfortable to hold, gentle to touch Able to feel every tickel and rush His hand is too rough to touch the skin The skin of a boy that once had been Afraid of the pain before he hardened He stares at the boy he cannot uncover Unable to sooth Unable to love This hand is uncomfortable Too hard and too rough The hand of man that can't feel enough

rough and though
The beauty of every heart lies within the stories behind them every shadowy secret and deeply scared wound, gives reasonable doubt that with every impossibility somehow, you have a beating heart of your own our heart never stops beating as long as you let it be known

Everybody's Heart
If I grew my hair to my knees and dyed it to the color of the wind, would you still recognize him If I pealed away at my fingers to make them look thinner, would you still be able to remember them If I never walked into the sun again and took an eraser to my skin, just to be a bit lighter, would that be enough to disguise him What if I even change the way I speak, a whole octive higher or perhaps lower, would his voice still be familiar What if I make myself shorter or taller, with reconstructive surgery, do you think then you can be fooled by him But what if I break my nose and reshape it    Take my lips and deflate them       Gouge my eyes to replace them Would that make a difference What if I told you that you never had to see him again, that he can be different, he can be better, he could be anything Would you believe in him No... But thanks for trying
