Stored away within the cellar of you soul

You keep good deeds never done and stories never told

These items stored will serve no purpose

So just give them away

A compliment, a smile, or hug, can change somebody's day

Give and give, then give some more because you can't run out

The love will just keep on returning; this fact I do not doubt

The sun does not care who delights in it or who grits there teeth and hides their eyes from its blazing light
It just continues to shine on
The sun does not discriminate on whom it will share its warmth with
It shines on sinners and saints; on beggars and the rich; on villains and heroes
"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden."
Matthew 5:14
Do not hide your "light" from anyone. By light, I mean the true essence of your unique and beautiful nature.

Your there when you no longer doubt yourself
When you can just breathe and feel no pressure to act, speak, or think
When your essence is beaming with the inner light that resides within every human being
When you feel complete acceptance to the point of forgetting all of your faults, shortcomings, and imperfections
When people say they feel "at home" they don't usually mean in a literal sense. It is a state of being. A place that can be found within you. You can get there with the help of someone else or by following your own inner road map to the final destination of self-love and enlightenment.

The soil brings forth precious gifts, not tainted by mankind
But we choose to poison them, to me that is a crime

Anything is justified when profit is involved
But food should not be business because food is life for all

Faster, cheaper, longer lasting; all these things sound great
But the truth is most of what we eat is far from food and fake
People hear "organic" and they role their eyes. They have become so brainwashed that they see food that is genetically altered, soaked in poison, and filled with preservatives, as the new normal.
The health of your body has a direct effect on the way your mind operates. Science has proven this. The mind and the body are essentially one. Your mind dictates your thoughts, your thoughts dictate your actions, and your actions DEFINE YOU.
It's easy as a poet to turn yourself into the flawed broken ideal you so readily romanticize at any given moment
You adapt generational buzzwords like
"Pale" or "thin" or "depressed" or "bipolar"
To make up for the places you feel dull or average
You long for someone to write about you like you write about your lovers or friends
So you set yourself up like a john green character
Beautiful
Distant
And empty
You spout tumblr religion and intellectual quotes
You become as paper thin as the characters from those novels our generation can't seem to get enough of
Predictable
Sad
Romanticized to the point of extinction
You survive on maybe three good quotes and self inflicted lack of sleep
In pursuit of becoming the lie you loved youve become the truth you hate
Millennial icon
The cycle continues with you.
You don't have to be sad to be interesting. You don't have to be reckless to be important. You don't have to be the people you read. Stop romanticizing mental illness and disorders. Don't pretend. Who you are is enough.
