You are absolutely gorgeous
and you must believe there is more out there for us

You know you have all these wonderful people here for you
but you want to be someone's one and only, too
I understand, I do
But you do not need anyone in this world to know you are beautiful, it's true

You are absolutely gorgeous
and spending love, time, and thought on you is not frivolous

Living in the moment is hard
When you are always on guard

But living thankful is especially meritorious
When everything doesn’t seem so glorious

If living in someone’s shadow my whole life means I’ll never be blinded by the sun
I’ll take it

Just like watching a movie,
looking back at old poems,
so filled with dramatic irony,
that you think I wish I could just show em

remind yourself today

What is it about silence
that makes you want to scream louder?
What is it about exhaustion
that make you want to run harder?
What is it about a multitude of people
that makes you feel more alone?
What is it about me
that is so impossible to love?

Friendships take about as long to fall apart
as they do to form
Friendships that develop over a lifetime
slowly fade away
And those with whom you seem to immediately click
hate you in an instant

Love is more than a feeling;
it is not fleeting.
Love is a choice,
to ignore that selfish voice.
Love is a style of life,
serving others in the face of strife.
Love survives distance,
and fights the resistance.
And Love is the cure,
NOT the disease.

Love is like a helium balloon;
The only thing keeping it from floating up forever is you holding it down

Enjoy the time you have, cause you're not promised any more
And I know that sometimes it can be hard to ignore

But you can never have it all
So just go 'head and have a ball

While you can

Ignorance is easy
It doesn’t make us ******
But means we are busy
Stuff flying towards us from all angles makes us dizzy
We hear something
But it means nothing
We ask is it really that bad?
Our brushing away of things is quite sad

It’s hard to notice sometimes
That one decision can change everything, until it has, and we are out of time
And crazy things do occur
That wouldn’t have if we hadn’t made one tiny decision, we’re sure
We remember something
But it means nothing
We ask is it really that bad?
And about our own changes, get mad

Peel back the layers and see
That maybe it didn’t change me
As much as it seems on the outside
This is where my soul resides
And it has drifted back to where it was before
You’ve experienced this before, I’m sure
We feel something
But it means nothing
We ask was it really that bad?
We’re selfish more than just a tad


After a tragedy
We feel that memory loss could never be
Scars so evident
But our emotions are all spent
We don’t quite know how
To keep living in light of it now
We hear something
But it means nothing
We ask is it really that bad?
And in our own emotional distress, we are clad

We ask is it really that bad?
Because we knew it was bad
But
Not
Bad
Enough
To warrant us spending our love
For us to care
No time to spare

Hard work and dedication
eliminate the need for fabrication

No matter how easy it might be
to find your worth in acccomplishments, intelligence, or beauty

That's just not where it lies
there your value isn't tied

because it is imeasureable, infathomable
and
YOU
ARE
BEAUTIFUL

I don't mean to make you feel stupid
I don't think you're stupid
I don't set a higher standard for myself than you
Because I think I'm worth more than what you do
I have a double standard for everyone else versus me
because I think I need to do more to prove myself you see
and you're worth more than my accomplishments will ever be
