I can only try my best, try to do what I think is right
try to create change when I see an opportunity.

I might be guilty of many things but only of the things that I felt was right at the time.

I love animals not because they love me but because they are worthy of my love.

I fight for the rights of others not because they would fight for me but because I think that a world would be better if we didn't just think of ourselves.

I try to please everyone even though I know I can not please everyone, but it doesn't mean I will stop trying.

I feel rejected when someone doesn't accept me for who I am and criticize  me because I believe in what I believe.

I cry inside when I feel my parents love my brother more than me or when they don't listen to my own opinions but expect me to listen to them.

I will never learn when it comes to people because I will always believe that no matter how evil the world looks and how deceitful people can be, I will always believe that love can overcome everything.

I understand that I will never be perfect but I will never stop trying to improve because without improvement I become stuck and trapped and I hate feeling trapped.

I believe in God not because of religions but because in my mind I have found away to explain his existence and his reasoning. People wont accept it but my beliefs don't hurt anyone, they accept everyone.

I don't believe in hell, not because I believe people shouldn't be punished for crimes but because I don't like the idea of someone suffering for eternity no matter of the crime.

I want a heaven on Earth because why should we wait until death to live the perfect life when we can make it on Earth, not just for the few but for all.

I eat to much food, not because of hunger but because If I do only live once why should I punish myself when I can be tasting the creations of talented people.

I accept that I may never change the world but I feel that we need change not for me or you but for the people here in 100 years time.

I hate the idea that when I die that no one will really remember me, 100 years from now everything I am will have no meaning, people will not know who I was.

I fear that I will never get the things I want in life and it kills me every night
Married
Children
Wealth to allow me to do so many amazing things
A happy family
the movie style Christmas's
to move to L.A
To have really good friends
the confidence I wished I had
The opportunity to achieve everything on my bucket list
and so much more
but I will never give up trying to help others achieve the things they want in life (with-in reason and with-in the law)

You call me a dreamiest but their is nothing wrong with that, especially when I wake up every morning an I feel like I am in my own personal hell. The ability to dream is what created the world, to dream of traveling the seas, to go into space, to ask the cute person out. Everything is based on a dream of some kind so although calling me a dreamiest you think it's an insult I take it as a complement.

I can only be me, I can not please you all, I can not change who I am when I feel and believe what I do is right.

I write not to be heard but because I have something to say.

So that's me, a person who made mistakes but learned a person who feels guilt everyday but keeps going, a person that contemplated suicide more than once in my youth but stopped at least 3 people from doing it (2 strangers and 1 dear friend)
I'm the person who treats animals as my best friend because they treat me that way and always stick by my side, the guy that believes in love and marriage but is still looking. I'm the guy that you pass in the street and think lets not talk to him because he has a beard and long hair and maybe a bad taste in clothing (only because I cant afford better, I have more important things to spend my money on) and the guy who doesn't drink alcohol (I'm the guy you think is weird when I tell you that) but if you got to know me you would know that I would always be there as a friend and as a shoulder.
I'm that guy who tries so hard even though I always fail but I'm also that guy that carries on, I'm that guy who holds the door open, stairs at the stars and wonder, who cries when I see bad things happening to you.

I'm the guy who if you gave me a chance I would become your best friend.

DO YOU HELP?
DO YOU CARE?
ARE YOU ALWAYS THERE?

DO YOU CRY?
DO YOU SCREAM?
DO YOU AT THE VERY LEAST TRY?

DO YOU PROMOTE LOVE AND HAPPINESS?
OR DO YOU EXPRESS HATE AND SADNESS?
DO YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOUR?
DO YOU FORGIVE YOUR ENEMY?

DO YOU PUT OTHERS FIRST?
DO YOU GIVE UP YOUR TIME?
DO YOU EARN MONEY FOR OTHERS?
DO YOU RESPECT A STRANGER?

DO YOU
I'LL ASK AGAIN
DO YOU?

DO YOU PUT YOURSELF FIRST?
OR DO YOU HELP OTHERS?
DO YOU LOVE ALL LIFE?
OR DO YOU ONLY LOVE THE LIFE CLOSEST TO YOU?

-----------------------------------------------------------­-------------------------
END
-----------------------------------­--------------------------------------------------
DO YOU AGREE TO HELP?

IF SO

LETS REMAKE THE GARDEN OF EDEN
A WORLD FOR ALL LIFE TO LIVE IN PEACE
It's is up to you what you want and what you do but if you want peace for all life, if you want a better world for everything then you want the same as me.
SO HELP CHANGE THE WORLD AND MAKE IT BETTER NOT JUST FOR US BUT FOR ALL LIFE.

?
If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If I cry and no one is around to hear me, do I cry?
So if I cry but no one hears, why do you ask if I am okay?
If you witness an act of bullying do you step in to help?

So tell me why it is that when we see a crime, when we hear the tears of an animal, it is ignored by so many?

I'd give my soul for your protection
I'd give my life to save yours
I'd walk to hell if it meant you went to heaven
I'd suffer depression if it meant you were happy
I'd give up my dreams if you could live yours
I'd become your slave if it meant you could live free
I'd give you my organs if it meant you were healthy
I'd give up everything just so you could have something

I do not have this power
I do not have the ability
I do not have god to help me
All I have is the mind and body willing to do these things and so much more

I'd give up my feelings of love if it meant you could find love
I'd take in your hate if it meant you never suffered
I'd breath all the pollution in the world if it meant the air you breathed was clean
I'd give up my sight if it meant you could see
I'd give up my arms and legs if it meant you could touch and walk
I'd give up my voice if it meant you could talk
I'd give up everything if it meant you had something

When I say you, who do I mean
I mean you, the one reading this
the one next to you
the person in the next room
the cat on your bed
the dog at your feet
When I say you, I mean all of you
all life on this planet
all life in this universe
all life everywhere

I'd give up my life to protect you all
I'd give up everything just for you to have something
Be kind and be a friend to everyone
but most of all love everything
one day we might all die out and our kindness, our love might one day define our species.

BE
KIND

Dreams, not the kind when we sleep
but the dreams we all have about our futures
More money
A bigger house
or a partner and kids
What ever you dream, remember sometimes dreams do come true

I dream of being rich
I dream of moving to L.A
I dream of these everyday
I dream of having kids
I dream of a better future for all of life
I dream that one day I will find myself a wife

Just remember that sometimes dreams do come true
but without hope dreams are impossible
So have hope and dream big
because today might just be your day
where your dreams come true
I don't even know if this is classed as a poem but it was something I started writing and wanted to share.

So many battles you have won
but sadly you won't win this one.
The battle that we will all face one day
THE BATTLE OF TIME

Forget the tyrants and the terrorists
the greatest enemy to our survival is time.
From the moment of our births, we are entered into this battle
THE BATTLE OF TIME

We know so little, but we know it is meant to be
Time will come and time will go
but the memories shall not
time will continue to flow

War after war, billions after billions
but the war we should be fighting
the battle we should be entering
THE BATTLE OF TIME
For family members where time is catching up with them
Craig Harrison Mar 2014
So dark, so very dark
but I hear a voice
and I can feel a breeze
but I don't know where I am
all I know is that I'm alone surrounded by people

I can hear people calling my name
Since I lost my sight nothing is the same

I didn't just lose my vision, I lost so much more
My independence
my job
my confidence
my self-esteem
I will never get to live my childhood dream

It's hard to only see one color for the rest of time
BLACK
no color, just
BLACK
Someone very close to me
