Never stop caring about the little things in life
Never stop dreaming or give into strife
Never stop wondering, are we on our own
Never stop thinking has your spirituality grown

Never stop building bridges that leads to better tomorrows
Never stop trying or give into sorrow
Never stop feeling amazed at the beauty that surrounds you
Never stop hearing the music or give into the blues

Never stop pushing away negative thoughts that make you feel sad
Never stop looking at the all the miracles we have had
Never stop loving the ones you hold dear
Never stop giving or give into the fear

Never stop smiling and look forward to each new day
Never stop shining in your own special way
Never forget that all storms will clear
Remember brighter tomorrows are always near

Life? What is it you ask?
No one really knows. I mean whats the point?
To have fun?
To go to school your First quarter and then spend your next three working?
Is there a lesson to be learned?
Or are you Just waiting your whole life for the afterlife?
What if this is the afterlife?
What if we just keep reseting every time we die, just forgetting what happened in our previous life.
The world will never know, but there has to be curiosity in ones life, am I right?

Writing a poem is not easy
Because the words have to come from
Both your brain and heart, mixed with your blood.
The words must haunt you for days, they must tease you for hours
Before they see the light on the paper or in the monitor, leaving you
With a sense of contentment that can hardly be told even through a poem!
Let the rain wash away sober pains of drunk yesterday
Beating vivid like fire in the night  
Let your soul illuminate to new heights
One last breath upon your chest
Running fast, moving without rest.
You left me here
Chained to rot, my dear.
But I am the sun, always moving on.
And when it is time to rest
And my shining light is in its nest
Only the darkness sees my true form.
My sunshine beams weep like willows,
As I wait till dawn with emptiness & pillows
Until the new day recharges my light
As the daylight awakens me ever so bright
**I will be stronger.
You can run but you cannot hide.
You can jump but you cannot fly.
You can leave but you'll always come back.
You are trapped.
Trapped
**Trapped
I sit in bed
My head flooded with images of you
You

With your curly brown hair and gorgeous, deep eyes
With your love of coffee and adoration for music

How you play the guitar
How you'd always make me laugh

And last but certainly not least
That smile

I have fallen hard for you and I fear I will not escape the never ending pit

Yet I am not good enough
Not for you
I'm imperfect compared to your cheeky smiles and sense of humor

I'm nothing
Yet you are everything to me

I find myself, soft tears slowly exuding
Because I realize that what I speak is truth,
At least to me

I'm imperfect and you will never love me
I fear...

Every doubt tears me up inside and it's hard to control self deprecation
It takes over me

And I fall into a deep sleep

*Alone
I had some very sick, sad dreams about you.
Not the ones you forget in the morning,
upon the smell of honey and a clean earth after rain.
The ones that leave you wounded and drenched
in your own doubt, frustration, bitter remorse.
I blame you for littering seedlings in our path,
leaving my world overpopulated
and washed out with a malicious, endless green.
I had some very sick, sad dreams about you.
Do not stand at my grave and weep..
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry..
I am not there. I did not die.

I wake up and it's 4 am
And I know that I must've been dreaming of you again.
For , I woke up with wet eye kids and a beating heart.
I can still feel the pain
From the day you tore me apart.
Forever didn't last very long,
Now did it sweetheart?
