You taught me to be kind
you taught me to forgive
you taught me to use my mind

so upon the day that I die
when ever that may be
I want you to know that I spent my life
doing what you taught me

Their will be a time when I no longer exist
a day where I am buried
but I want you to know that I love you
Dad, Mom and my amazing brother
Ever since I was a kid I have always known that one day I will die, I have always accepted that. Even if one day they are able to make us live for ever, I know in my heart that their will be a day when I choose I want to leave.

I don't know when my final day will be, it might be today or billion years from now, so the purpose of this poem was kinda a reminder to my family that I love them. So if I am to die suddenly, this poem will be my leaving note.

Dear Dad
We've had some good times and bad times, like most people. One thing that I admire about you is you ability to forgive (especially me) I guess that is where I take my ability to forgive from. At the moment of writing this I am 28 years old and living with you for my life as been amazing, even if we do argue occasionaly, but good kind of arguing, you make me think and question things, any person would be lucky to have a dad like you.. My happiest memory, there as been many but I would have to say, the first time I ever won chess agaisn't you, you never let me win, but I didn't give up and when I won it meant so much more.. I know life hasn't been the best friend to you but I do hope that the next life is everything you wish. I love you.

Dear Mom
Hi mom, like dad, we have had good times and bad times, but every family does I guess. Some good times that I remember are playing monopoly, I love that game. I am grateful for the times when you have given me a lift to places and when a few years ago you loaned me some money. I hope that one day soon, you get the things in life that you wish for. I love you.

Dear Brother
Hello, boooooooo, I'm a ghost, lol. (If you reading this after I die) if not then I will see you the weekend. I have no problem admiting this, I love you more than anyone else on this planet, not only are you my brother but I consider you my best friend and I hope and pray that in our next lives that we continue to be friends. I might not have been the best brother growing up and for that I am deeply sorry for. Nearly all my life I have felt alone, but you made me realise that I wasn't truely alone. I enjoy when we talk, I look forward to when we visit each other and I hate it when we fight. I love you and I will always love you.

To everyone else that as read this, I hope that all your wishes come true, I realise that you don't know me, I try to express who I am in my poems but one thing that you should know about me is that I generally do love each and every life form. (You, cats, dogs, mice, aliens, everything)

I hope that I will have many many many more years left and I hope that they will be fun, but I also have to accept that anything can happen so I wanted something out there that I had written to express how I feel.

Thank you for reading and where every you are reading from I hope you are having fun and enjoying the day.

Take away your arms
take away your legs
could you survive?

Take away your money
take away your phone
would you cry?

Take away your family
take away your friends
would you be lonely?

Take away your food
take away your water
would you starve, would you die?

Now take away someones arms
take away their legs
could you do it?

Take away someones money
take away their phone
could you do it?

Take away someones family
take away their friends
could you do it?

Take away someones food
take away their water
could you do it?

It happens everyday
someone takes someones limbs
someone takes someones valuables
someone takes someones loved ones
someone takes someones life
If you can't do it to yourself
don't do it to someone else

Turn off the light
close your eyes
cover them
(Still not dark enough)

Move your hands
open your eyes
look at the sun
(Still not bright enough)

Turn everything off
put your fingers in your ears
(Still not quiet enough)

Put on headphones
turn up to full blast
(Still not loud enough)

Still not dark enough
still not quiet enough
what could I be talking about?
(Before)

Still not bright enough
still not loud enough
what could I be talking about?
(After)

Before
After
what could I be talking about?
(The Big Bang)

From a spark to an explosion
from dust to a rock
from a rock to an atmosphere
from an atmosphere to a tree to an ocean
TO LIFE
Please DON'T look at the sun

When you think back from where we came you can't help but see how amazing each and every life is.

Fear, true fear is so painful
so hurtful, your body becomes shocked
your mind is crying
fear

Fear to wake up in the morning
fear that it will happen again
true fear is so painful
so hurtful, your body is frozen
your mind is scared
fear

In the shadows he waits
watching
looking down upon the world
judging
giving us everything
but taking it away

We **** and keep on killing
we harm and keep on harming
we destroy and keep on destroying
never changing

We were not made in Gods image
we were made in the Devils
the species never changed
never will
So in the shadows he waits
watching
looking down upon the world
judging
giving us everything
but taking it away
all the time
We **** and keep on killing
we harm and keep on harming
we destroy and keep on destroying
never changing

He's a demon
She's a demon
Everyone's a demon
This is not Earth

THIS IS HELL

Lonely blue marble out in space
moving ever so slowly while your brothers and sisters watch from a distance
so many things they've seen
Evolution,  revolution
War, genocide, extinction

Lonely blue marble out in space
one among many
unique, special, amazing
dieing as your brothers and sisters watch on.

Lonely blue marble out in space
slowly being destroyed by the human race
Rest In Peace my dear friend
I'm sorry that one day you will come to a tragic end
