Tonight we toast to death,
for without the certainty of death;
the value of life would be nonexistent.
The less a poet speaks
the more the poem speaks for itself
I hate seeing my fingerprint in my poetry
Bright little star  above
Stay with me forever
While I’m looking at you
in the night
I know someone is looking too.

We are all connected with each other on this earth. In some way.
If it’s a penny for your thoughts
then it’s a bank in my head
where the automated teller
is swiping plastic cards instead
He who doesn’t give
second chances will
always walk alone.

Step into your fear
You will discover your potential

searching for you,
my love.
But I never laid eyes on you,
because I stared at the abyss
so long
that it began
to stare back at me.

Sir, I do not need to be saved.
I just need to be found and appreciated
for exactly who I am.

"I love you," he said.
"Yes, I know that," I said, "but are you in love with me?"
He paused for a second.
I didn't need him to say anything else.
In his hesitation, I found my answer.
