I'm ready for the fall.
I'm ready for everything that I believe in to drift away.
Ready for the leaves.
Ready for the colors to burn to gold and crumble away.

The Fall, 2015

what is it like,
to have hope?
to be happy?
truly happy?
not just a smile,
i slap on my face?

what is it like,
to have lost hope?
to be sad?
truly sad?
because i know.
but it takes yourself
to realize
you are not alone.

you are not worthless.

You don’t have to rise like the sun each day—
some mornings, it's enough just to open your eyes,
to sit with the silence,
to feel your heartbeat and whisper, “I’m still here.”

You are not the storm that passed,
nor the ruins it left behind.
You are the seed under the soil,
waiting for the right rain,
the quiet miracle of a soul not giving up.

Let no one shame the pace of your healing.
Let no voice drown out the hush of your trying.
Because surviving is not small.
And breathing, on hard days,
is a kind of bravery the world forgets to praise.

So rest, dreamer.
You don’t need to shine tonight.
You just need to stay—
soft, alive,
and wildly worthy of tomorrow.
You push yourself hard and grind everyday and you are doing great, but sometimes when things are overwhelming you must to take a break.
🔥 There’s a time to roar, and a time to breathe.
You can’t fight every day with your fists in the air. Some days, the boldest thing you can do is sit quietly and say,

> “Not today—but I’ll rise again soon.”

If the world,
Was the way it seemed,
Then why is there self-doubt?

If we all,
Were a machine,
Why are so many left out?

It is true,
Humanity's broken,
We have chosen the wrong route.

There is no fixing,
There is no wishing,
Everything is falling down.

He’d never come back,
I’d said with a frown.
He said he was sorry,
He didn’t think twice.
He said he was sorry,
But I’ll never forgive him,
For what he has done.
‘Cause on the outside,
He’s a really sweet guy.
But it’s what's on the inside,
That counts.
DISCLAIMER: I am a straight boy. I am just trying something new..

I don't know
What I'll never know.
But when your eyes shine in the moonlight,
I'm blinded, they are so bright.
But what I do know,
Is right now I know
How it feels when your lips touch mine,
As we're dancing in the lime light,
And all I can hear over my heart tonight,
Is "Now I know..."
