To blow out the candle burning in the spiteful darkness
Is to wait until the feverish snake devours my toes and kisses my bones

I cannot allow my only light to be snatched
Leaving me to hug a shroud and to wait for the faint sound that will signal my end

I instead shall burn a hundred candles,a thousand if my hands are not tired and burnt.
Coaxing the darkness out to die by the hand of light

DC raw love
I notice in life that we sometimes forget to dream. I mean dream about what you want out of life.

Are most people afraid of falling short,
being overwhelmed or they just don't try.

My definanition of dreaming is not about money, it's about life.

What makes you feel the feelings you never had before.

It's sometimes natural to feel that somethings can't be reached.

But if you don't try it will never happen.

I love the saying "Chase Your Dream", it is so true.

I've already accomplished a lot of my dreams that brought me happiness. But there were no feeling involved.

Life is to short not to dream.

Always love your dream and it will come true. With dreams comes passion.

This is something that is lifelong fullfilling.

These can be simple things, such as:
Your own home...
A fancy car...
Yet that's surreal.....

Real dreams,
Your god given talent....
An artist
Your own business
To help our youth

Never give up, never lose sight of your dream. As long as you set your mind straight you can accomplish just about anything you want.

You.

You,
in your
perfect stride.

You,
in  that
white light
they paint on you.

You,
with your
half-hearted
smiles.

You,
in that
protective,
guarded,
******
of a persona.

So many ways
I could paint
You,
yet none
resembles of that
they do.

Telling.

Kind,
Shy, funny man,
Did the best that he can,
To raise me to be what I am,
Beautiful baby girl,
Smiling every second,
What everyone wants in the world
Years pass,
Daddy always there,
Doing the best he can,
Raising me to be the way I am
Beautiful baby girl,
A baby no more,
Middle school,
Troubled;
Diminished smile,
Daddy where are you?
No reply
Daddy's soul has left his eyes
No more doing what he can to raise me how I am,
Doing what he can,
To stop the voices in his head
Searching for cameras,
In the walls,
Paranoia controls his all,
Delusions
President,
Police,
Mom,
Everyone out to get him,
Stumbling upon his daughters sketchbook,
Sketch unfinished;
Headless body
Voices,
Convincing to be dismembered,
Out to get him;
Dismember him,
Paranoia growing,
Irritability as well,
Mommy a victim,
Strangled, breathless,
By a body with no soul
Life flashes amongst her eyes,
Children being married,
Awakes,
Escapes,
Daddy's alone,
In a mental home
Not for long,
Returns with medicine to fix the harm
Daddy?
Void of soul replaced
Stability,
Daddy regained,
Medicine disposed,
Voices grow,
They're going to **** me,
The 9th,
Facing doom,
Departure to a highway overpass,
Aimlessly walking,
The edge
Concerned bystandards,
Authorities called,
Shouting,
Scared,
No way out,
A fall,
A crash,
Daddy,
Is dead.
The story of the loss of my father from schizophrenia and suicide. I'm hoping to raise awareness to mental illness, if you or anyone you know is struggling with mental illness please be there for them, & pursue them to seek treatment. I would hate for the heartbreak of another beautiful life to be reaped from such crippling illness.

Not with a blade
Nor with blood on my hands
But with wisdom
And compassion
May I be tyranny’s end

With poetry and prose
With the ink and the rose
With an inkling to know
Just and unjust
Right from wrong
May I be tyranny’s end

With love
Not a bullet
No bombs to blow through it
No glass shattered or metal disfigured
This is what I figured
May a revolution of words
Be tyranny’s end
