"I live, each and everyday to the fullest, not fully knowing if the decisions I'm making, are wrong or right.
However, I live, because with each new day, brings a chance to turn those wrong decisions into redemptive rights.
Not all in life is as sweet and delicious as apple pie. There may be bitter batches at times. Though always remember, everyday upon waking, be infinitely grateful you've been granted a chance at new life.
Don't waste it, make your mark. Grace the world with your imaginative mind. Regardless if the world disagrees with what you've done so far.
Always remember and never forget, that it is your life. Live it in kindness, and always be mindful of your words. Have a voice, be confident, spread your wings and soar"

Some say poems don't have to rhyme
I think that's a complete
and utter lie

It's the ring and the chime
within the rhymes we create
that produce the sheer
and lovely little lines

An expression of our existence
Lies within the deep mesh
of our flesh and resistance;
Towards persistence and
perfection

The rhyme within our poems
Scream with complicated
convictions

The ones of which we write,
shouldn't hide behind the
facades of any restrictions

We are the words we create
They needn't be burdened by
limitations

Sometimes;
You are like a cave to me

Dark; mysterious
Often times dreary

But I love you all the same
that'll never change

I promise
That'll never change

Cause I love you all the same...

We are all passing ships in this life
Guided by misguided compasses

Floating along rocky shores
of ignorance and bitter distaste

But it doesn't have to be that way

We can adjust our sails
Reset our compasses
to love and peace

It's not to late
It's never too late
to change our journey

However, no matter
which sea we choose
to sail

In the end;

We all succumb
to the same fate

It's not too late..

Forever engulfed in your sweet mystery

Then forever I shall be...

Take flight-
Spread your wings

They're always there
Never fear

Don't forget to unfold thee

Those beautiful wings;
everyone possesses

Graceful, or as ungraceful as they may seem

Don't forget

Take flight-

Torn or Tattered
Untampered
or
Completely shattered

You'll always have your wings

Spread them, far and wide;
So you can see what I see


Beauty

A shadow was cast
unto the foothills of our past

It shall not last

A veil waiting to be unveiled
The cover of covers
Blanketing our eyes,
waiting to be peeled

Until every rusty nail
has been removed

It shall not last

The fortune of others
Our freedoms
our fight for free will

You cannot hide
Nor evade us

It shall not last

In the end
The free of mind
will prevail
