Will you be there to catch me when I fall?


It’s ok, I have my emergency wings to help me take flight after all....

Love is beauty, and Love is pain.
Love is loving, even when you know you’ll get hurt again.
Love is life, but Love is death.
Love is fighting for someone, until your last breath.
Love is starving, to feed someone else.
Love is letting someone shine, even if you have to stay on the shelf
some of my older poems are really sweet.

LOVE

is a language that the

blind can see

and the

deaf can hear.

A quote I heard from somewhere and absolutely loved.

I'm
not
your
canvas;
you can't
paint over me.
My mistakes,
my life, it's whom
I want to be.
So go
_________
take your
_________
paintbrush
and your paint, too,
because I love my every
stain, and I'll keep every
color; red, green,
or blue.


By my every stain I mean my every mistake or misfortune, because I learn from each one of them.

I hope it looks somewhat like a paintbrush. I messed around with it, and the result is before your eyes.

Don't
      chase attention or
affection.  You   are   you.
     this is who you are,
    and   you  are  enough.
              It's not
         up to anyone
               else to
      decide otherwise.

     It's a waste of time
          and energy
      trying to convince
           everyone
   you are this unrealistic
     version of yourself.
       Just be genuine.

    To  the  right  person,
         you will never
            be made to
       feel like you're not
               enough.
Learn  to  let  vulnerability
        inspire you and not
            frighten you.
What makes you vulnerable
        is what makes you
human and I think being
              human is a
           beautiful thing.                                                   Jon York   2019

You must
           remind  yourself
            everyday: That you
   alone  are  in  charge  of  your  
            happiness. You
                will not
    let anything outside
            of  yourself
                 control
                     you.

                You are
         creating  a  life
      that  feels  good  on  
the  inside  and  that  will  
   ­       be enough to
    turn into experiences
         that  are good
        on   the  outside.

               And when
       a negative thought
                                                                ­                     
  enters your mind, think
     three positive ones.
                   Train
           yourself to flip
               the script.

Madness Unseen
Skeletons we hide,
Behind the laws we abide,
Hidden inside our hearts,
The evil goes deep and wide.

To keep the truth hidden,
Label others heathen,
All the stories are made up,
If you speak up, it's treason.

Here's a series of lies,
While the truth dies,
Upcoming new seasons,
Existence cries.

You
can't climb over
every mountain
and you can't win
every war.

But one thing that you
can do
is try to be better
than before.
Try to be a better person than you were yesterday.
