My words,
As swords penetrating your heart,
Would you deny me?
Would you deny me my freedom?

My healing heart,
Fire ablaze and welcoming your pain,
Will you tell me the truth?
Will you tell me yours?

My thoughts,
Hurtful and soft, lively and beautiful,
Will you take my hand?
And watch the sunset with me at the end of the day?

The world hurts me,
Every stepping stone is another brick
Thrown right into my face
Will you protect me?

Will you tell me everything's going to be okay?
Will you lie to me?
Will you lie to me to make me feel better?
Or will you let me crash with the painful truth?

Will you hold me tight?
Even when I say that you shouldn't.
Will you love me, even if I hurt you?
Will you love me when I tear up?

Will you love me when I hurt?
When I tare down inch by inch and fall?
Will you hold me up?
Will you try to see through me?

Through my lies and faults,
I am lost in feelings that I so desperately want more of.
I am lost in between paradise and confusion.
I am lost in such a way that no one understands when I get flustered over you.

I am lost because... I fell.
And I fell because I can finally see
You in my life,
And I in yours.

"What do you do
When the pasts haunts your every move,
Whispers in your ears
When no one is there to distract you
And laughs at you,
Every time you do something wrong?"

"You keep going.
You do your best.
You do what you love
Aand you defy the limits
Your ego slaps you in the face with."
Do what you love, and love what you do.
That way, no one can tell you to do what they want you to do.

Sometimes my imagination
Takes me so close to you
That I can feel your breath
Syncronized with mine

Yet when I open my eyes
All I see is a bright light with the shadow
Of an indistinct aura of someone
Who is an ocean away

You've stolen my heart away
Like no one else has
My beautiful love

Love makes you
Love elliminates hate
Love builds acceptance
Love creates understanding
Love increases one's will to live
Love makes the world go round
Love brings the good out in people
Love inspires you to do the best you can
Love encourages you to achieve all you want
Love holds you up when others may pull you down
Love buys you all the things you want from our universe

Never forget the power of what sharing love may do for another.
It may just change someone's life.

I'm so tired of always being the one to ask,
I'm so tired, knowing it won't change
Unless I stop putting myself out there
I want to know them all

Why does the world seem so big suddenly
Like it's so hard to grasp the reality of
How life used to be, before I went away
Before I remembered what living really meant

Those days seem as simple memories now
Memories though which will never vanish
And cannot seem to leave me be
Constantly poking at my back

Knawing wholes wherever they can
Like worms, they've been eating my body
Along with parts of my soul I thought
Were most profound and least to weaken

Or is it exactly the fact that I envision
A weakness in me I never had before
A softness in which I have found kindness
And a love that dropped all my barriers

What if everything I thought I knew
Was but a deception that I left myself
To fall so tremendlously for
Each time I stopped praying?

How many of the things I did
Were really selfless opposed to
All the times I did those things
To really make myself happy

Rather than all those around me
Rather than the ones I love or
The people that I thought I fought for
What if it's all a lie?

The lie we feed ourselves in order
To be able to live with ourselves
While half the world is at war
While more than half is starving

I thought if you help your community
You do your part in the world
No matter if nothing will ever be enough
Yet.. somehow I have this sense

A sense of incompletion everywhere I look
Or is that simply...because I fell in love?

Don't ask questions
To the man who watches
The wind go by

Don't ask questions
To the little girl
Who talks to trees

Don't ask questions
To the pilot who quits
His job mid air

Don't ask questions
To the teenagers
Who seek love

Don't ask questions
To the rebels
Who have fight in them

Don't ask questions
To the nuns who sing
To the God's they believe in

But rather ask questions
To those that pass you by
Every day without noticing you

Ask questions to those
Who study in order to work
And who work in order to retire

Ask questions to those
Who wait till retirement
To sigh

Ask questions to those
Who don't question
The system

Ask questions to those
Who don't seem conscious
And who live by habit

And then ask yourself,
Do you?

Instead of watching the sunset,
Watch the sunrise.
Feel the beginning of each day on your skin,
And thrive with the knowledge
That they are only as limited as you let them be.
