One of my favorite poems is called Dare to be!” / By Steve Maraboli from Life, the Truth, and Being Free
He tries hard To mask what he really is A lonely soul Seeking another To share his life with To make him whole He will spend his last To please her Even if she didn't want it If she told him not to He would only do more For Him SHE is EVERYTHING

Him
She drew her in With a smile and a laugh She gave her something to want To make her forget What was really important She forgot her priorities And left the ones who loved her In the dark All for the chase

Choices
*Burning desire The eternal flame is lit Never going out. Love and happiness Romantic feelings of love Love everlasting. The end is coming This love will no longer be Time for broken hearts. The shattered pieces Of a heart that was once whole A love that was strong. Who can bring back love Who can fix this broken heart Make it whole again. A bitter black heart An empty crevice a hole Destroyed rotted space. Somehow it's just gone The end took it all away Everything is gone. Where'd the passion go Why did the love disappear Why did it just end. Who will answer me No one knows how to answer Maybe there is none.*

Love Lost
Feelings of hurt sadness and anger combined Can't find the words to say how I feel I feel the storm brewing deep inside Like a volcano about to erupt A *** of boiling water The most mediocre and cleshay Way to say how I feel Would to be to just say Im OK.

Feelings
Beautiful people and beautiful souls living in a world Full of hatred and evil Evil people and evil souls Hell bent on doing wrong Full of wicked intent They hurt others To block the pain Without a care in the world Little boys and girls Frolic and play all day Dreaming of one day Growing up and becoming adults Little do they know Being an adult isn't a luxury They lie and cheat and steal Only to become old, alone, and destitute Longing for the thing they can't obtain Intangible and unachieveable In the eyes of many these Are the walking dead The soulless entities That walk the earth feeding On the sadness and pain of others Broken and unfixable My only wish Is that I never Become one of them.

There’s a flame Lit with in A flame that burns for one purpose There’s a life Two souls meant to be one, But Split in two There’s so much pain Heart ache, for the souls that are lost A pain meant to keep the souls apart There is an emotion Love an emotion that is meant to be pure, but instead is manipulative and deceiving Only because many souls have given up on meeting So they began hurting and mistreating Those who are naïve Until it becomes a cycle of misleading But there are those who keep on fighting For that one who is meant to complete them The one is meant to love them like they need them to And at first it might seem strange Because we don’t understand how someone Could know what truly love is That love is supposed to Burn like the flame Hurt like the pain That you’re supposed to feel that way Because that’s what love is meant to do This emotion connect so many things Not just lovers, but also friends if you opened you heart and not your mind You’ll find that love is very simple it’s not a technical complication or logically correct It’s supposed to come with scars and bumps But only because you’ll never know what’s good until you’ve dealt with bad Love is not just a breeze it’s a hurricane of emotions But after its all say and done You’ll find yourself in a place you’ve never been . . . next to the one

There's a flame
My favorite: “Dare to Be When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When another is lost, dare to help them find the way. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile. When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too. When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best. Dare to be the best you can – At all times, Dare to be!” “Dare to Be When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again.

V-1 Little five year old girl sitting down on the sand, watching the clouds go by. She's got one toe in the water and her face's lit with a smile, lifting her hands up to the sky. But the next thing that she knows before her dad yells 'it's time to go', there's something that went too wrong. When she looks back to the sky, this little girl so shy, washed away, she's trying to be strong. Bridge-1 A miracle from up above just gave a little shove, the little girl opens up her eyes. Mom and Dad both crying, the girl says she was flying, and before she had said her goodbyes... he'd said Chorus-1 Come my precious daughter, I know you're underwater, but right now is not your time to go. I'll take you to the surface and there you'll find your purpose, take this chance I'm giving you to grow. Take every moment like it matters before it completely shatters, there's something to you I've got to show. But for now you've got a family, friends, you have a home, I'll see you next when your times get low. V-2 Little five year old girl is now nine years down the road, lights and cameras all on her. Little red flowers are thrown up to the bowers, she catches one and shows another smile. She sees him in the crowd, she waves to him so proud, he shows her to the side so she can see. She walks away crying, everything's so blinding, she yells to him for him to let her be. Bridge-2 He follows her to the house and as she takes off the blouse, a dagger is driven through her heart. He whispers that he's sorry and that he's always worried, but for now he's done his part... she hears Chorus V-3 Little fourteen year old girl is now five years down the road, tears are filling up her eyes. The little face staring back is the something she had lacked, after she had said all those goodbyes. The proud father takes her hand, the girl's reminded of the sand, back when she was washed away. She knew the bundle in her arms would have all of her old charms, life was the game she was 'bout to play. Bridge-3 Three years later this little girl looks down from the sky at her, the father's pushing her on the backyard swing. She looks up to her Father and she says, 'is it truly the time for me to be?'... and he smiled. V-4 Little five year old girl sitting down by the sand, watching the clouds roll by. One toe in the water, face shows her mother's smile, she reaches her hands up to the sky. Her mother from up above spreads around her girl her love, the little girl closes up her eyes. The father gives a smile and he sits down for a while, he whispers a short goodbye. Bridge-4 The girl looks back to Dad then starts crawling down the sand, says 'Daddy, no, please don't cry.' He looks down to his daughter and then back over to the water, he can see his love in his eyes... he says Chorus-2 Come my precious daughter, go have fun in the water, now is not the time to go. I know your mother loved you and every moment held true, I know that she wanted you to grow. Watch the things that matter and never let it shatter, there's something to you I've got to show. It's the promise that I'm here and that I hold you dear, I won't let your times get low. Ending And the girl felt her mother's smile.

*Like the blood rushing in my arteries, Like the blue in my veins, Like the way I speak of hope, But like the way I lie in shame. It's like the way I try to speak, But no words ever come out. It's much like a whisper, But more of a shout. Love is like a living thing, That crawls within your heart. It can turn you into a demon, Or maybe a piece of art. I only know what it's like, But don't know what it is. Whoever can define A word such as this? If love shall fall, Then I shall cry. If love shall end, Well then so shall I.*
