When you learn about something like that everything goes sideways
not knowing everything about it
but knowing what to do you want to help
that’s not enough to save people no matter how much you love them

Not being able to say goodbye is the worst part
too far away to get there in time even if you knew in advance
that’s what cancer does
takes people’s lives and turns them on their sides

~Javier S.

There is a girl who lost her way
Lacks the sparkle in her eye
Darkness shrouds everyday
Feels like she wants to die.

There is a boy who is in pain
But fakes he is happy
Everyday his mind rains
And his eyes in which his forest grows sappy.

Fate brings them together
It is meant to be
He is meant to be with her
And finally they can both see.

There once was a girl who lost her way
Lacked the sparkle in her eye
Darkness used to shroud her everyday
Felt like she wanted to die.

There once was a boy who was in pain
But faked he was happy
Everyday his mind used to rain
And his eyes in which is forest grew sappy.

Sunny skies
Rocky mountains
Puffy white clouds
Beautiful view
Lake glistening
Birds chirping
Trees budding
Fish leaping
Kids running through the trees.

Gentle Rainfall
Wet mountains
Light gray clouds
Foggy view
Lake misty
Birds chirping
Trees budding
Fish leaping
Kids splashing through the muddy puddles.

Nature is beautiful,
Won't you come enjoy it?

Floating through the darkness,
Unwilling to let go,
From the chains he has been harnessed,
Since a long time ago,

Gliding across the lake,
Looking for closure in a tragic mistake,
Of Lori's heart he will break,
As soon as he knows,

Unwilling to let go,
From the chains he shall break.

Maturity doesn't come with age
It comes with experiences
Age is just a number that means nothing
Experiences
either good or bad
make us stronger.
Being strong makes us mature.

Running
Running from my fears
Too scared to face them
I'm running down and alley
That never ends
My fears are chasing me
And they never stop

-Andrea Christine

being caught in a dilemma
uncertainty in a fluid state
In a meadow of doubt between two mountains
both sides are so strong,so stable, unchanging
both have valid points and both seem true
but neither have the full truth
why wont you just chose?
why is it a weakness to see all sides?
why do i have to choose between these options?
is there a third option?
In future years will I be seen as courageous or weak and feeble minded?
the mountains so set in stone
never crumbling or showing weakness
that the other side would see
the perception of the other is masked by years of fear and misunderstanding
its too late now to turn back
stuck in their stalemate
One day I must chose, and one day I will
But I shall save that for another day
