Though I've seen better days,
today is all I have.
Tomorrow is not mine
till I walk through that door.

With every breath I take
I must let it go.
Today holds only what you choose,
not what you've chosen before.

I use to be afraid,
to take a path unknown.
Born into their faith,
I worshiped in their yesterways.

I judged with outdated eyes,
now useless, dead and blind.
I see no flawed nor broken now,
all clear of that ancient haze.

To have a friend like you

To have a friend like you

Some may say we're weird
Maybe we talk to much,
That we say odd things
And that we're interested in all the wrong hobbies
That we aren't mature
And we're foul
Some may say that we're dumb
Because we choose to be unique
They pass judgement before they look
They throw it away before they read the book
Well I say I'm blessed for every flaw they say we own
To me they're perfections
I'm blessed to have you all beside me
Blessed to be accepted
So happy to know that you're there
And that I'm here too
Because I'm happy to have friends like you
That can see through
To me
And I am not blinded and I can see

This is dedicated to my friends, without them I honestly don't know where I would be
Much love to all my friends

thank you lonely paper

thank you lonely paper

blank, empty, and lonely this paper
with only lines for company
but no form

subdued in compromise
for I am of the same

I share with this book
a cause, a need
for intrusion
to communicate

What do you have to say journal?
What do you need to relay
to share
besides

Emptiness

but look!
what has happened
what have we done?

Your pages are no longer
silent
they Speak
my Thoughts

so I don't have to..

I Used To Wish Upon A Star

I Used To Wish Upon A Star

I used to wish upon a star,
for silly little things,
it didn't matter that it was so far,
I was sure the star heard my dreams.

My wishes included material things,
like nice clothes and fun toys,
but I hope this wish will finally bring,
something I can truly enjoy.

I learned too soon that wishes don't,
always come true,
I finally realized that I won't,
see anything become new.

I used to wish upon a star,
thinking my wishes through,
but wishes were just too far,
from ever becoming true.
