I am ready to make
the same promises I made
before. I don't make empty
promises. Those promises
I made to her I want to make
to you. But I must be more careful
this time. I was so careless with my
heart last time, that I let her take
it and rip it apart. You have my
heart, but for now, I will keep
these promises safe with me.
You can have them when you
finally see.

we are lost souls
looking for true bliss
we are wild hearts
seeking real love
we are the poets
who are messed up
looking for people
who can fix us
give us true love
give us true bliss
give us everything
we thought we'd miss out on
give us strength
fix our hearts up
put us together
and please fix us
adore us like
a masterpiece
explore our minds
and soothe our souls
show us what true love is
show us happiness

One bite, yum.
Two bites, ok.
Three bites, meh.
Four bites, tummy.
Five bites, ew.
Six bites, fat.

A person
never
truly
understands
the meaning
of the word
happiness
until
they
experience
it for
the first time
in their life.

I think as children,
we have a glimpse
of what it is
like to be
truly happy.
I think that comes
with innocence.
But as innocence
slips through
the cracks of
our fingers,
it is our job as
human beings to
search for that
feeling once more.

It may take
all your life,
lying on your death
bed, blinking for
the last time,
and with that last
blink, with
your eyes closed
tight, you realize
that you lived a happy
life, and things were
not always as bad as they
seemed. Then you open your
eyes one last time,
the new gleam  in them
giving those surrounding
you a glimmer of hope,
looking forward to the future.

Or, you may find
it in the smallest
of things. You may
be lucky enough
to experience that
feeling of pure bliss
without any reason to.
To just be happiness.
To carry it with you.
And even if times get
rough, you are still
able to hold onto
that feeling.

happiness
To truly feel it.
To truly feel free.
