feeling to much sorrow,

That can make us hollow.

Doesn’t make us human.

To much pride,

That makes you take life,

With to much stride.

Doesn’t make you human.

But if you blend the two,

And make it into you,

Then...

That makes you,

The most human of all.

Im standing on a cliff,
Endearing the drop of terror.

As I let out a painful laugh
Filled with fright,
I sit down in spite.

It’s a deep pit,
I wonder whats at the bottom.

Should I jump down?
And see how I turn out?

No, to crazy
But I cant stay here,
Yet why wont I move?

Why wont no one guide me?

It’s ok, Ill just sit here,
And wait for what will betide.

So...

Where - Heh - Am I?

Describe the sky,

Seemingly endless,

Blue,

Beautiful.

So many words

For just one word.

Yet we cant take the time

To describe others,

with more than-

“Basic”

Or

“Annoying”

We
We are fickle things…

Why were we given emotions?

If half of it is pain.

Even if you’re on top of the world,

You can still be afraid of heights.
The last 2 lines were from a song I heard one day, I thought it was really amazing.

Standing in a corridor
Is a young boy,
Looking into infinity

Left,
Then
  Right.

Doors along the corridor
As if pleading to be opened,
The boy approaches.

As he grabs for a handle,
He stops.
And decides not to open it.

He continues to walk
Till he reaches another door,
This time he opens it.

But as he walks through
There is just another endless corridor,
However now he seems to have grown.

Standing in a corridor
Is a young man,
Looking into infinity.

They say to work hard,
So you don’t end up poor.

They say study hard,
So you end up with a bright future.

They say to reach for the stars,
So that our lives don't fall apart.

But why do they say such things?
Do they think I’m able to do as they say?

Yes the future may be mine,
And even with all this time.

Haven’t you seen?
That it's not as easy as it seems?

To walk on a thin wire,
Is what we all do.
The tightrope swerves
And curves
As we progress through.

Some people push others off
And some slip,
And fall,
Some even decided to jump
While all we can do is watch
And contemplate.

Then when we out stretch our arms
To keep ourselves stable,
We soon realize
that it makes it harder to stand
With the brand of time
Pressed against our backs.
