Ability
Dakota F Mar 2014
Yes I have a disability.
Does it define me?
No!

Yes I'm in a wheelchair .
But I don't care.
So why do you?

Because I do things differently,
Apparently that means I can't function in society?
They say that my disability affects my ability.

All my life people have told me that seeing is believing.
But when it comes to me.
Looks can be deceiving.

Wonder
Dakota F Jun 2014
Lost in time
Don't know where I'm going
Just like the wind through the trees
I'm roaming

Full of wonder
Six feet under
You only live once

Clueless minded
What will my purpose be
Wonder what life has in store for me.

Just go where ever it takes me
Not trying to please
So if you please
Don't hate me
For wondering

Mother
Dakota F Jun 2014
Today is a special day to show you I care
You know me better than anyone
You taught me that life isn’t fair
You’re the reason I keep fighting
You’re always there
I say you care too much
But I’m thankful you care
After all if you didn't
I wouldn’t be here at all
You are the mother of all mothers
You make me laugh
You show me how to be a man
To do things with class
To have a mom like you that’s pretty badass
Without you there is no me
So you better believe
When it comes to mothers
You are second to none
My mom truly is number one

My Brother
Dakota F Mar 2014
Been a long time now.
Six grade in fact.
Been along time now since anyone has had my back like you do.
I know I can count on you

Bro we've been through it all.
Bad and good.
When I needed someone you stood by me when no one else would.

As the years pass I realize now.
This is true.
I am truly lucky to have a friend like you.

As grown adults now.
Nothing has changed except age.
Friends like you are unlike any other.
You're more than a friend.
You're my brother
I love you man.

Time
Dakota F Mar 2014
How can time move so fast?
Can’t believe this is happening.
The thought of losing you is hard to grasp.
Once so close.
Now apart.
If only this were a game.
Wish we could restart.
I can’t fight these feelings
I can only remember the memories.
Six months come and gone
Hard to think  the thought of moving on

Normal
Dakota F Mar 2014
Sitting here mind is blank?
Like a painters canvas before it becomes a landscape.
Wondering what it takes to be normal?
What is normal?
Who has the right define it?
The reality is we each have our own way of life in which we live.
We go out of our way to make sure we get rather than give.
Yes I too am guilty of this.
I am far from perfect.

I’m forced to use that word again.
Perfect.
How can we say someone or something is perfect?
Perfection is yet to be seen.
Every flaw that made us unique has now become obscene.
We laugh at our flaws as we try and fit in.
There are so many problems with that last line, where to begin
Maybe I’ll say it again.
We laugh at our flaws as we try and fit in.
We laugh at our peers .
To avoid our fears of rejection
As we strive for perfection our need becomes an imperfection.
As we stand here our need for perfection takes over like infection.

Regret
Dakota F Oct 2018
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take  
Regret
The feeling that makes your stomach ache
Regret
There’s no way to shake
Regret
You can try to change until you’re blue in the face
Regret
No steps back in time
No second chances
Regret
Go with your gut
No regrets

Take that shot
No regrets
  Be yourself
No regrets
Stand out proudly
No regrets
No hesitation no second-guessing go for it all
No BS’ing
Climb the mountain
Take that homerun swing
Just remember this one little thing
No regrets

Go big or go home   In whatever you do
Don’t let that feeling overcome you
Because once you do it will hold on tightly  
It will weaken us all even the strong and mighty
And so I leave you with this please don’t forget  
Live life to the fullest
No regrets

Take a deep breath
Dakota F Sep 2018
It’s funny how quickly things can change
I thought we were on the same page, but when I take a second look we weren’t even reading the same book
Talk is cheap actions are priceless use me all up until I’m dead and lifeless because life is precious Love is a virus
Infectious  you love me now I wonder how
I can’t comprehend it love is the drug and I’m chemically dependent. I know it’s wrong and I can’t defend it. But we can’t pretend it’s not true because it’s doing the same thing to me as it is to you
And boo-hoo watch The lip quiver it’s raining tears now ***** cry me a river.
It’s not you I blame myself I didn’t do nothing I sat there motionless like an elf on the shelf it’ll be a white Christmas you can Bank on that but it’ll be Without me and that’s a fact don’t get it twisted like I said I don’t blame you you got a ring and I gave you my heart but I was second-best so close yet worlds apart Treat life like a game with no restart. Just remember talk is cheap your actions are priceless you used me all up and now I’m dead
Lifeless
First post in quite a while. Feels good to  write again
