Why
I'm the only one.
Nobody sees through my blurry eyes.
Nobody understands the thoughts that ramble in my head, because there is one me.
I cry because I have the energy to do nothing else,
and when that energy runs out,
I'm left dark and empty.
Just tell me why
because then maybe I'd understand.
Tell me why I'm the only one that believes?

Impossible to find.
Something so simple,
so close.
Most people have it,
they are the lucky ones.
Effortlessly Easy,
Forever holding in their grasp,
what people are searching for to the ends of the earth,
but is impossible for them to find.

Where does it go, when it leaves the mind of the beholder?
Travels away, a thought lost forever.
Floating in space, as though it were a lonely star.
A star's life is not eternal, they fade away.
They disappear from the night.
Leaving the southern sky,
just as the memory fades within you.
I wish people could read my mind...

Life is so fragile.
Even the act of silence can shatter it's very existence.

It wasn't me.
I didn't know her,
but I could have.

It makes me think-what if...

You were gone,
due to my ignorant self,
who hid your harm from the adults.

You were gone,
because I removed the glass,
that protected you from the 100 ft drop.

You were gone,
due to a simple night out,
that caused you to slip back to old habits.

You were gone,
because I wasn't there to help,
and talk you down from the edge.

You were gone,
due to my lack of knowledge,
and misunderstanding of the situation.

You were gone,
because of an accident,
that made you lose control.

What if you were gone

It could have been me picking up the phone,
giving a cheerful hello on the dreary day,
only to have my soul shatter, when the news was given.

It could have been me thinking of what I did wrong,
asking just to hear a voice, a whisper,
something acknowledging existence-Only to be given no answer.

Life is so fragile.
Why must we add to the cracks in the glass of another person's life?
Things happen that force you to reflect deeply and see the big picture.
>"You" is a call to more than one individual<

You out there->If you are reading this, Don't you ever become an angel before it's time, okay?
The ground needs you, the earth needs you, I need you <3.

Why are folders called folders?
*because they fold in half

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow...

Feet on the dash, windows down.
Waving a hand through the soft light
breeze.

And each road leads you where you wanna go...

Driving down the endless dirt roads,
feeling a feeling like no other.

And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose...

Nobody for miles, No worries in sight.
Feeling Happy, Being Free.

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you...

Tall grass entends over the horizon.
The sun sets, revealing southern beauty.

And if one door opens to another door closed...

Sounds whirling high to the sky,
Hearts pouring out music from the soul

I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window...

Listening to the instrument from God,
pouring out from the beauty within.

If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile...

Laughter echoing between songs,
showing pride in their true colors.

But more than anything, more than anything...

Open Field, Open Mind,
Open Hearts.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to...

Truck in park, Headlights on.
Twirling in the light under the night sky.

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small...

Sparks fly as lightening bugs buzz by,
Illuminating the moment.

You never need to carry more than you can hold...

Dancing is the language of the soul,
spoken through steps and rhythm.

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to...

Words are not needed for times like this,
It has a speechless effect.

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too...

Falling alseep under the shimmering stars,
With warmth from the angels.

**Yeah, this, is my wish.
My Wish- Rascal Flatts

I have a basil plant that sits on my sunniest window sill
It's not really just mine, but I'm the only one who remembers it is there

Day by day, I watch it wilt, stunt and burn
Unable to save it from the my own mind's sudden chill
(And the back of my mind is haunted by echoes of "when you have kids")

It takes in pain
From the darkness I breathe
Together, we will curl up in apathy

But somehow, its pale green stalks just won't give up hope
They stretch their twisted roots deep into the ground
And stake their stand
Clinging to, fighting for their lives
And so too will I

In the numbness, I feel a twinge of guilt
-
Today, I watered my basil plant
Trimmed its leaves
And gave it the love I breathe

It seems that we have both survived this frost and cold,
to grow another day.
Until next time, darkness
