Faded
My words are never complete,
poems always half finished.
I’ve deleted more then I’ve saved.
When I post my poems they’re never quite finished.

My mind is a mess,
My hopes never realized.
My dreams left unaccomplished.
When I speak to you my words are always half hearted and half complete.
I guess I’m just not the man I thought I’d be
I stop writing
cause I stopped being sad

but do we need to be sad
to make beautiful words
comes out from our minds?
The sound of your voice is baby blue
and your laugh is all kinds of yellow
Your smile is aquamarine
and your eyes are every shade of brown
You smell like magenta when you are close  
you are every color
that i think of
when I am
color blind

I'm stronger than you think, you know.

I will bloom despite the snow.
Hard to make new friends
Not quick to replace the old ones
They are quick to replace me
I'm a forgiving person
While others hold a grudge
Moved on can't keep waiting
Said sorry no longer friends
Too bad it came to an end
I lived a large
part of my youth
carrying things
that didn’t
belong to me
Indeed I’ve carried
their loads for
too **** long
The load of how
they felt about me
the load of what
they’ve said about me
the load of how
They’ve perceived me
for far too long
These load was never
mine to carry
to begin with
Today I am free
free at last
from criticism
fears , insecurities
and other people’s
opinion
These loads
are no longer mine
to carry
Regardless
how desperate
and foolish
they may seem
Set yourself FREE .... This load ain’t yours to carry!
One foot off
Ready to jump
Are you ready
Hold my hand
Let’s take the plunge
Ready or not
Here we go
1,2,3
Jump with me
Adventure awaits us
To a new journey
Just you and me
Let’s swim to our
New destiny
The little squirrel enjoyed its nutty meal
Happy it squealed
The preying bird perched high in the tree
Happy, enjoyed its meal
As the squirrel squealed its last
While the little squirrel lived its nutty fruity dream
