I held you softly
as you slept
I held you gently
as you wept
I held you tightly
as you screamed
I stroked your hair
as you dreamed
I wiped the tears
that would not dry
I cried the tears
you would not cry
I took the demons
in your head
and made them
Mine instead
I need to be
by your side
don’t turn me away
I am not your Pride
I am not your Pity
I am not your Sorrow
I am here Today
I am your Tomorrow
This is one of my oldest and most beloved writes. I never considered adding it to any collections until today. Considering this will be my one true legacy I leave behind, it is as relevant to me today as the day it was written. Enjoy :)

You need to start doing things.
Look at everything you have,
Everything you were given,
And realize you've done nothing.

You were given this handsome face,
And you close yourself off from others.

You were given a healthy body,
And you refuse to take proper care of it.

You were given a brain capable of immense thought,
And you just smoke **** and complain.

You were given a rare knack for writing,
And you never apply it to anything.

You were given an extraordinary ability to learn,
And you stopped trying.

You were given a chance at higher education,
And your choice will lead to disappointment.

You were given so much chance to succeed in life,
And you're letting your personality get in the way.

This is an intervention.
You need to change your ways,
Or you'll end up just like everyone else.

Why does everything seem so small
when something becomes larger?

I'm confused

Why do people want what they don't have
even though it is more than what most have?

Does it make sense to you?

Why do people say life is so short
when it is the longest thing you will ever experience?

oh, does anybody understand?
You send shivers down my spine when you walk in,
Cause the butterflies to flutter like mad.
When you look in my eyes,
You burn right through me.
You are the sunshine when my skies are clouded,
The light when I can't find the good in the world.
I could be all that you need,
You are all that I want.
My stomach knots when you are next to me,
You make me nervous and giddy.
I smile at the thought of you,
Quake in your presence.
You have all control over me,
And you don't even know it.
