American I'm not much of a poet. Most of mine don't rime. But what I have to say if you have the time is words from experience both good and bad. Maybe I can help someone through though times.
Why am I an option When you are my soul thought Why must this heart of mine try When it only ends in pain Why do I feel this way When I know who you long for Why is everything so stacked When everyone else has it easy Why am I happy When you smile about someone else Why has everyone left me When all I'm looking for is...

Why
Time passes and wounds heal scars of past loves mark my body each day fading more and more Even when they open back up all I do is smile and endure for time heals all, even if it heals slow

Time
We look upon an older gentlemen. Going through life, nothing special. Working towards an end. But one day, looking through old memorabilia. He stumbles upon a long lost chest. Brushing off the dust he opens it. Hes heart jumps. Lost notes from a love long gone. But never forgotten. Riffling through the chest he finds, Pictures Love notes Old poems And a ring. Holding these small little trinkets. A tear runs down hes check. Everything happens for a reason. Through all this a warmth flows through him. He takes one last look at everything. Puts everything back. And goes back to the life that was found. For the past is nice for a visit but life moves forward.

A found chest
What happens When a spark dies? A light goes out? A heart gives in to the pain? Do you shut yourself away Do you try to hide From even the closest friends When you are beset by darkness Should not the stars shine For every pice of coal Presser is needed to make a diamond Think of it not as a death But as a new canvases That needs to be cleaned To put better works on Every diamond was coal So darkness is not the end Only the beginning

Darkness
Why do we fight? Every day we wake up. Ready to face another day. Putting on a play. For the world to see. But I have stopped in my rut. I look up to the sky and ask... Why? Why do I make my life this way? What am I fighting for? Then I look around me... I see my family. I see my friends. I see a life worth making. I know. Not everyone is blessed. So I ask you this. Why do you fight? And what are you fighting for?

Why do we fight?
Why is it so hard To tell the fakers From the friends They change with the wind Some days talking, Laughing, carrying on And others Nothing... Why are there so many? Why are true friends, So few... If you got them Cherish every memory For one day That will be all you have Raise a glass For the ones less fortunate Raise one for me.

Memories
Walking around Eyes staring down Not looking round Just stuck In the rut of life When I hit a wall Dazed on my back But now Eyes on the open sky Seeing all the stars Seeing the unlimited possibilities I get back up But will never look down at my feet again.

Staring
I'm sitting by the river Hands clenched I look down at my hands Seeing the scares of the stones The wrinkles of time But when I look closer All I see is sorrow So I open my hands Watch the pebble fall To rest upon all the others I lay back against the shore And look up at the sky Seeing all the stars And realizing that The world is bigger Then this little river.

Pebble
I was a kid Content with walking the world Looking at nothing but my feet Until we crossed paths And I looked into those hazels pools Pointed like mine to the ground Not wanting to cause fuss What made me go after you that day? I thought maybe there was another That would help me Take my eyes off the ground And you did I looked at the world threw new eyes Not focusing on the what ifs But that what could bes When I took your hand I felt the world shrink Like anything could happen We could do anything I would like to leave this tail on the positive note But that wouldn't be telling everything Through dark times Your eyes drifted Your grip on my hand loosened And my eyes started again drifting down While yours stayed up I was happy to see how you have grown over our time But now I'm back to watching the ground Waiting for my star to return

Why dose my mind wonder ? And when it dose Nothing but pain is found. Over the littlest of time, Of solitude. My heart can change. From Not a care in the world Too Feeling torn out of my chest Why do I suffer? Over the smallest things When my mind wonders
