you, you cross my mind at the most inconvenient of times
for some reason you are the person i depend on most in this world
out of all my friends and family, i find comfort in you
is comfort happiness?
that i can't answer
all i know is that i feel a kinship to you, a connection;
be it romantic or platonic, familial or more, i don't know..
but i trust you and i don't know why
i feel like maybe i make sense to you
i don't to most people
i feel like maybe you make sense to me too..
but who really knows?
is it all in my head?  or is my heart speaking up for itself for once?
i don't make much sense to myself anymore
but i did once, when i was with you
everything was clear then
life made sense, finally, and so did i..
i didn't make sense to a lot of other people though
but i didn't care either
it was beautiful, one of the happiest times in my life
is it possible to get back there to that place again?
could it ever be the same while being altogether different..?
(love, an ever-elusive concept)

*IMPORTANT UPDATE: the answer is no.

you carry the weight of a thousand arrows
don't rip them out all at once
remove them, dissolve them, eliminate them how you see fit
you have the power
use it to your advantage
don't let them tie you down
be free
be weightless, be the wind
be light like a million butterflies disperseing into space
you are invincible
you hold the key to all the joy in the universe
grasp it, manifest it
proclaim it as your own!
stop floating along in a meaningless existence
stand up and claim what is yours:
you, this earth, and all the love which embodies it.
it is not to be possessed, it is to be cherished
open your heart to the blessings bestowed upon you
seize every opportunity
find yourself in your thoughts
display your heart to all
never give up,
always press on
and reach for the sky.....

i feel broken, used
like a pawn in the game of chess—when i know im worthy of a Queen
there's nothing to hold onto anymore, no wind in the door
i grasp the impossible, fight for the unseen
what is "real" isn't quite what it's made out to be
i close my eyes and wish for more—
all the hopes and dreams that have been forgotten
i stumble into rocks and stormy weather, one step closer everyday;
past depravity, sheer boredom—into bliss
pure j o y
the time will come, when my people open their eyes & unchain their hearts
their world will be exposed, and they will truly KNOW
everything is a lie!
hold onto something, just believe
a glimmer in the dark of the night
see past the façade
you're locked in a cage
trapped, forgotten
set yourself free..
live in love, in harmony
unite with your brethren! share your soul!
expose yourself for who you are:
a blessed being—a child of the universe
every star, your sister; every leaf your friend;
every person a drop of a water—
falling, floating, waiting
evaporating
endlessly
savor every breath.. taste every breeze
laugh at every closed door and know it's just as easy to break thru it than move on
acceptance is key
ride the currant, don't fight the tide, for it will defeat you;
it is steady, unchangeable
it will break you down
hold onto the moment—it is the only one you'll ever have
let your stomach drop, your heart sink, your toes curl
for there will be a day when your stomach curls,
your heart drops
and your toes sink into their destiny.....
fly high and never look down!
catch every breath, rest in every cloud
SOAR
listen to the emptiness; there's no repeat button
kiss your troubles away
know the path by which you have arrived!
there are thousands of forks in the road, which will you choose..?
i've counted the days, minutes, seconds into oblivion
why observe what can't be controlled?
find yourself in your aspirations
you will meet there, in the sands of time, your peace
hold onto clarity ♥

a day will come when all is won [one]
and life is filled with love
when dreams aren't dead and plains aren't red,
a revolution has begun!

let's feed the children and the masses as they intertwine,
the knowledge they have craved so long we give to them to find
our news to them is taken well and passed throughout the ages;
hold on to this, dear sweet ones, we've got to pass the stages
of mutiny and tyranny and all the saddest woes
remember you are not alone, together we will go!

forever we shall be lead on, by nothing but the truth
don't follow him, nor her, nor me
to find your destiny.....
for in your heart you hold the key,
to life, love, and *everything

in my mind i see
picture perfect harmony
like wisps of clouds in the sky—
yet still i wonder why?
nothing quite seems to fit
into the fire that i have lit.
is it time to put out the flame?
begin again another way..
tomorrow's gone and yesterday stays
like sand, the ocean crashes upon us with its waves..
there's always room for one more shot
don't give up what you know you've got!
second chances come and go;
an open door will someday close.
forever is not always long enough
so ride the waves, even when they're rough..

self-medicate, dont eradicate
(thats one way to clear the slate)
heres one better: concentrate!
you'll never miss another date

destiny wont pass you by
wipe that tear from your eye
hold your head up strong and high
spread your wings, it's time to fly

out with the old, in with the new
time to sing a different tune
let yourself shine as bright as the moon
have you forgotten you glow too?

free the weight from your chest
forever and always, long for the best
without hope, you'll never rest
challenge yourself on your greatest quest..

sometimes, there's not an answer.
sometimes the only thing you can do to keep yourself sane is to hide.
keep yourself locked away in the sacred mausoleum which is your heart;
shy away from the turmoil of "everyday life."
reawaken your senses,
heighten your soul to that of a bird—
flying,
gliding,
ever higher;
at peace with the world around you,
for there you find the space from which your dreams are calling you—
reaching out,
pulling you toward your destiny,
your deepest desires.
beyond the realm of space and time,
there is a door with your name on it.
there is no key,
only openness,
gratifying you with something lighter than truth,
heavier than light.
it is here that you will find what you are looking for—
peace.
