Life is like a busy airport
           Friends come and go
Life has delays or cancellations
          You leave your baggage behind
                ALWAYS
Sit and wait for a fantasy destination
                
                     In the end
You will SOAR high in the sky
                Even if it wasn’t in the expected flight of passage...
Life is like a Ferris wheel
Sometimes your up
Sometimes your down
Sometimes you want to get off
Put your feet on the ground
Other times it spins so fast
As you keep going round and round
Sometimes fun
Sometimes not
But look at it from the top
You’ll see a different perspective
Happy or not...
My goal for going this site
1. Make new friends
2. Connect with people across the world
3. Getting better at writing
4. Have my work touch someone’s heart
5. Embrace criticism
6. Pour my heart into my writings
7. Love others work
8. Write as much as I can
9. Build a portfolio for myself
10. Get two or more writings trending in one day.  

9/10 isn’t bad. I set goals and in about a year all have been achieved but the last one. Keep trying my hardest and if my work work touches one persons life, that makes me happy.
For all who read, like, comment and repost my work...I am truly humbled and thankful.
Smile
Even though your in pain
                 Laugh
Even though your upset
              Be brave
Even though your scared
               Be still
Even though the world is moving
                 Cry
Even though your happy
            Be strong
Even though your weak
           Stand tall
Even though your small
         Love yourself
Even though others don’t
            Be proud
Even though some people are not
         Try your hardest
Even though it is hard

Always looking at things in a different way
Emotions run wild
Acting like a child
We’re all here for a reason
Whether you know now or not
You’ll find out in due time....
I’m a little weird I know but that’s ok
Feeling broken
Purposely caused by the beauty of pain
No longer dancing through the hourglass of time
Picking up the broken pieces
One shard at a time
Right now
Somewhere in the world
Is on vacation
Is laughing
Is making memories
Is working hard
Is making money
Is relaxing
Is having ***
Is drinking
Is doing drugs
Is sick
Is sleeping
Is having a baby
Is dying
Is being *****
Is being tortured
Is getting hurt
Is being murdered
Is committing suicide
Is fighting for their life
Is burying a loved one
Is missing a loved one
Is depressed
Is scared
Is homeless
Is broke
Is upset
Is feeling worthless
Is giving up
Is alone....

Ever just stop and think of these things?
Ever just stop and think of this?

And what about the lairs
Who whisper in our ears
Shadows in the corridors
Envy in their stare's
Evil eyes awatching
Wishing wicked things
I can feel them
Crawling across
The dirt of all our
Graves




An exercise in creativity....

Shall we dine
On wine and flesh?
There seems to be
Plenty left!
So pass around
The possum pie
Wine made out
Of dandelions

Lazy days
Of summer sun
Sleeping in
Like we're still young
Falling free
Blue ocean skies
Let our hearts
Never die...

She needs me
like a service dog
When ever
Her heart turns black
Everytime I run away
My hungry heart comes back

Oh sea of madness
Oh ocean of fools
This water between us
Is but a drowning-pool

Tomorrows is out of focus
In the dimness of foresight
Sticks and stones in pockets
This involuntary fight

No shelter from the tempest
The storms that never end
Just a longing to return
To embrace your love again....
