One learns through the hardest of ways.
Scars, Bruises, and Hardened Spirits Lead to New Skills
and a Braver Walk down a Rougher Pathway.
To become stronger...One Must Become Weaker.
To become better.... One must have been at their worst.
Struggles due add Character.
Not just an act with an eye patch and a bad-*** Harley Motorbike.
They are a man no one would expect...who is smaller...tougher....
He can move the shakers and dodge their spikes.
Rainy days do lead to Sunshine and Rainbows.
Now, it is my turn. I've earned my character.
I am not going to be an "actor in a play..."
For I have earned my Sunshine and Rainbows
Through these thunderstorms and fight filled ways.
When you look you see the outer shell,
When you think and feel you see the mind and soul beneath
about 250 years ago
young Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s tale of Werther’s
passionate unfulfilled love and ensuing suicide
triggered a wave of suicides across all Europe

the author was more than embarrassed  
it is reported he was actually quite shocked
by this effect of his romantic writ

from then on he avoided the portrayal
of hypersensitive romantic youths
    with their emotional entanglements
    and often fatal ends
and preferred dramas of the simpler sort

     like the eternal fight of good and evil
     the striving for almightiness and universal knowledge
     dilemmas of obedience and command
     et cetera

today, like then, young people
go through the stifling pains of unrequited love
and feel they hover at the brink of the abyss
    ready to jump

then, as today, young Werther’s suicide
is nothing but a waste of youthful life
that could have brought him many happy moments
had he allowed himself to stay alive
suicide passion waste
...
I died today...
Wish I had stayed that way...
There is a river that everyone wants to cross.
And everyone wants to be on the other side,
believing that it's there that everything lies.

And some wish to cross it, because
they are running towards something,
while others wish to cross it, because
they are running away from something.

But in the end, it is we who need to build
the bridge, and not wait for someone else
to do it for us.
Your love,
makes me hole,
Your love,
fills my soul,
Your love,
Makes me wanna be with u all day long,
Your love,
makes me write a new song,
Your love
was forever..
your love, lasted for ever after,
Your love,
never apart,
Your love,
fills my empty heart...

Truly...we cannot hide,
YOU and I collide... (,")♥('',)
I'm screaming silently
I'm crying for help inaudibly
I shout but nothing can be heard
Listen close, not a syllable, much less a word
I'm screaming silently
For someone to end my misery
An existence inside of my head
I may as well be as good as dead
I need to be saved, to be heard
But I scream and shout with a smile, not a word
