Games
Joshua Nov 2018
From the top of the world, to it's bottom depths. It's never enough it's always less.
Life is a game some people play,to one up each other to live that way.
Success isn't measured by any degree, by any posesesion or tangable need.
It's by the want of what others and what they percieve.
Even a king is little better than a pawn, just remember after checkmate in life the game goes on.

First Poem
Joshua Oct 2018
Happiness is a gift, happiness is free. Happiness is found in you and me. Happiness comes from deep inside and is freely given and felt with pride. Happiness is precious for granted it's taken, but seldom returned to the heart it's forsaken.

Whole
Joshua Nov 2018
You never stopped to think about you,or understood the sanctity of your breath.
It made sense but a moment you felt so compelled, surely as day turns to night it left you bereift.
It was spike through me physically, a tearing of flesh it was an emptiness spiritually.
Though I endured it barely, it hurt worse to turn you away than what you had done.
It made me strong, it made my heart full, I realised my worth.
I'm not a half looking for a half, I'm a whole looking for a whole.

Would you mind
Joshua Oct 2018
Would you mind if I love you,you somehow love me.
Im always less than I can endure.
Your eyes speak the truth,your intentions pure.
How you see me beyond my ruff edges and torn seams.
I could never reciprocate
You make me feel whole, you are my happiest tears you are my dreams.

You
Joshua Nov 2018
You
All we truly know is what we see and do, it would not be fair to expect more of you.
When you cut me I bleed, when you hurt me I cry, when Im cold I seek warmth, when I'm happy I smile.
Does it come from within or without, from compassion and love to hate and doubt.
What makes you me, whoever I may be. Are hearts beat the same yet so differently.

— The End —
