Rich fields of interest, yet to be harvested
The crop of my choice has yet to be planted
Looking inside I have an overabundance of diverse seeds
It’s up to me to plant a new one everyday
Sadly, not all grow to be a part of my world
Some ideas thrive and even drop unfamiliar fruit
Some are neglected to be trained, and soon wither
Each new seed is an experience, learning from the next
Finding new ways to grow is a tricky quest
The embodiment of my inner soul is my reflection in the natural world
And our physical body is the vessel on which we embark
Life is a journey to find the idea that will flourish
The idea that branches out and enhances all others
I’m just waiting for that one
One to change my world
One to willfully tend eternally
You can never harness them all, so take your pick
Our minds are delicate, choose what you want to grow wisely.

For those who chose not to see
To dig deeper inside the real me.

You will regret not giving a chance
When you see me in my winning stance

For back when my words were ignored
You will hear and tremble in fear when you walk through that door

You will wish to go back and change your view of me
But the anchor is dug too deep you feel stranded at sea

I am all around though you close your eyes often
I am what you think about when you try and sleep
I have progressed, accomplishing more feats
than a small thinker like you would ever dream of achieving.

So please,

Next time you think of how you mistreated me
I lean back and smirk about how you never caught up to me
I feel like I haven't written in forever, kicking off some dust with this on. Sorry everyone! I need to get on more. And as always, feedback and improving is what keeps me on here. If you have anything to say (improvement, comments, anything) please share because I value you :)

Marvel            at the beauty the great sea provides
Unite               against the sick power which ensnares us
Teach              the evils that we don’t serve darkness
Indulge           in the sweet luxuries we've been deprived
Night              is when we strike, then take flight in the morn
Yawn              when it’s all over and set sail on our new life
I don't even know which direction we're heading anymore

Too young for my own opinion
Blindly believing everything said like a minion
Wondering why Mom and Dad tell me different
Just an infant but I think i'm invisible
Everything is visual, still learning to be lingual
Each and every word I hear is a faraway island
Would rather be out swimming but i'm just playing in the sand
But for now I don't understand, I'm stranded in no mans land
I wish I could hear the questions a young human thinks, the ones that we never remember or never get to hear. Maybe we could learn a thing or two

A cold season that brews cheer and a glacial wrath
Seeing children bundled up in the fluffy white blanket
Also playing and prancing all through the town
While the white widow weeps amidst the crowd

Everyone’s laughing and dancing around
All while my babies are taking a pound
Soon they will see once I gain more ground
The built up wrath of the frosty crown


As the weather worsens families stay inside
Sparking their fires staring outside, unaware of their demise
Sipping eggnog and cocoa, I will not be denied
Presents under the tree, I can almost hear their cries

*Every year every time they push me to the side
Not this time, for they will fear my devastating tide
My white raiders will ride all will run and hide
And succumb to the power of the great white bride
What if winter was a sentient being?

Life is a blessing
Yet overlooked
Life is precious
don't be mistook

Our whole existence
based on circumstance
Not by fate, no offense
Our start is based on chance

The entirety of our personality
would've been different on another day
Our soul, our individuality
Taken a different route without our say

Even though who we are
may be considered happenstance
You must embrace what you're given
and shine louder than the brightest star
fantasyyyy

You and me
Used to be
Harmonic company
No one like you, No one like me
Our heads in trees
Swinging in glee
But then one day
I saw you in
an intriguing way
Then we talked
you felt the same
But it wouldn't work
We saw it the same
We went our own paths
along different roads
Even though
I still miss you so
I felt like writing today. I haven't been on much lately, I should really be on here more. Feedback appreciated

Hello little youngin
Standing so fair
Such an innocent tongue
With his bright blond hair
So sweet with a happy glare
Yet to climb life's rungs

I wish I could tell you
The hardships that lie ahead
I wish I could show you
What you should do instead
But life shouldn't be guided
by a slightly older you

As I look I wish I could go back,
as I smile with glee at these photographs
I wish I could smack you,
for going down the wrong track
But reminiscing about my own past
I can't help but crack a laugh

— The End —
