To be within but never without.
      Drifting by like drift wood shore to shore.
Knocking and ringing with scythe in hand,
      Cawing messengers, "Nevermore."
Shall specks of light shine in the night,
      be waved into the dark.
Beckoning for filling within,
         beckoning for angels to hark.
And hark they will for each hole they fill,
          but what man is an island, is still.
To be an art craved in the sky,
             no longer asking, but why can't I.

Breathe.
Receive.
Achieve.
Believe.
Be strong.
Be honest.
Be good.
Be right.
Don't fight.
You're alright.
You'll make it through the night.
Be the night light.
Be the sight.
Be the freedom.
Be your desire.
Don't pull yourself down,
push yourself higher,
as if a comet on fire.
Move forward,
onward,
upward,
higher.
Fly so high,
as if a comet on fire.
Be better.
Brighter.
Outshine the sun.
When they tell you walk behind them,
trust the time to run.
Be open.
Be off-guard.
Let it all go.
Maybe you'll get hurt,
but you'll definitely grow.
You'll definitely glow.
Like a flower of the sun,
always looks to the sky.
Live life like a miracle,
because one day you die.
(And I might really cry.)
You have to try.
You have to fly,
but not too high.
Fly to space,
and if your scared,
don't worry about it.
Long as I'm here,
there's no room for fear.
(I'm no parent,
I'm no lover,
but if you find one,
I'll see that you love her.
Because why?
I don't know.
I got over you long ago.
I guess I just found a strange addiction.
I care so much it seem like fiction.
I'll bite my tongue,
because it feels I'm digging a hole.
This is about you,
but I talk myself up like I have a big role.
This is how you should live,
but not because I said.
Really it's just tips I took from my heart and not my head.)
Be greater than they'll ever know.
Be beyond their circumstance.
Never let them see you wilt,
unless they've seen that you can dance.
Dance like no ones watching.
Sing like you can't contain.
Be unafraid to challenge society,
even when you stand in the rain.
No matter the darkness,
always burn brighter.
Always shoot higher,
as greatly as you tire.
As if you were-
                                          a comet on fire

I'm playing keep-away with my skin. My blood a precious treat. I taste iron if I try, but I guess he thinks its sweet. I'm cowered in my covers, so cant you leave me be? I insisted you should exit, but you silently disagree. You know I want to believe your good. That you hurt me but its not your fault. You bit into my skin tonight and I keep crying, "Halt! Don't stab holes through beauty marks, nor swipe away my cells. Alas you are a tiny thing and must not understand my yells.
Dumb Mosquito keeping me in my covers

Idk
Brush past,
   cold, fast,
      like wind,
         nostalgic feel,
            "I crashed,"
                home trashed,
                  don't ask,
                     it's unreal.

Ah ah the sense of me.
                                                                       Lost me heart, so let me be.
                                                                 Lost me words, no tears to see.
                                                            Lost me light, and dimly free.
         Lost me sense.
      Lost me mind.
                                                 Lost me reason, so leave me behind.
                                           Lost me effect, since cause is gone.
                                    Lost me right, because me always wrong.

Why is it that on a website where we are said to revel in the beauties of poetry one may write few words of their current state and receive the world, but too many leads them to a lone path of truth and self-discovery.

One too many words to tell how true you hear your soul, may cause others to tip-toe by, but if you say one word we've all heard then people say hi.
I do like the many likes and new followers from a one-line thought, but all of these poetry websites and where are the ones who are writing and reading and commenting because they love the scent and taste of new words as they escape others lips into their minds. Where are the ones who do it because they find it puzzlingly exciting to just hear something new, no matter the length? The poems that were different and not for anyone's happiness, but to escape the thoughts that rattled in their loud, wild minds. Frost, Poe, and so the list goes. Where have they gone?

p.s. the last line rhyming wasn't on purpose.

Dear 2016: mood: Nostalgic: It's funny how you look back every year and you see the 'old' you. Sometimes you feel like your running in circles and yet you were dumber then. Sometimes you just feel better and wise. It's interesting how you can look at moments that happened years ago, days ago and just subconsciously smile. I want to say I get it. After hearing it from others. I want to say I understand life and the people who have to deal with dumb things. But- I dont. I just feel more lost than ever when I actually think about what saying "I get it" means. I would like to thank you years. For all you give, gave, and give again. You get it. Whether I'm talking to a God, a fate, a life, or nothing at all. You get all of this, or no one would be here. It's not always rainbows and marshmallows, but it's not always fire and rain either. So. Thank you.
