we do not write poetry
we write mirrors
which are held up
to curious faces
who read
looking for their
own reflections

There is a certain comfort

I drank your lies
with a smile on my lips.

One of us
must be dreaming ...

I'm like carbon.
Under the right pressure I'll turn into diamond.
But if exceeded I'll break,
Forever worsened.
There's a limit to my tolerance.

Be positive, go seize the day!

Make all your demons go away.

Stand out, take a chance!

Come on, let's go dance!



Bring out the light in your eyes.

Let's get rid of all these lies.

Smile! Be happy today!

Turn your world vibrant, not grey!


Look, there are friends all around.

From high in the sky to down on the ground.

Turn things around, don't be sad.

You'll realize that living isn't so bad.


Don't think about going away.

Here with me is where you'll stay.

So don't say your life isn't okay.

We'll do this together, what do you say?

'-----they say that one of the most bittersweet feelings
    has to be when you realize
how much you're going to miss a moment
      while you're still living it.'

As I woke up in the morning in my hospital bed,
I saw the patient next to me breathing his last,
I thanked God for another beautiful day,
And vowed never to let it go to waste.
