"Perfect"
 Jul 2018 JL Smith

Pretty, skinny. perfect,
Everything I want to be.
Well, I mean on the outside at least.

You post pictures of your "great" feast,
But I know it was a binge.

You appear so perfect and normal,
But you shed that skin
As you become out of sight.

Anxiety, mental break downs,
And I don't even know what.

You don't try to hide it,
Yet you somehow don't let it show.
At least to those who you don't know.

I understand so much,
Yet I don't at the same time.

You are so skinny,
Yet you don't eat and call yourself fat.
I understand hating yourself so much,
You make yourself suffer.
I understand it is your only need to cope.
Yet I don't understand
How someone has never been fat like me
Is taught and told to hate herself.

I want the best for you,
But I still don't know how bad it got.

I just can't stand to see you look perfect,
While no one sees your pain, fear, or guilt.
If you're reading this, im sorry. you deserve better than any of what you're going through

Rings

A ring.
A circle. Begin wherever,
End never. No sharp edges, no points.
Just an infinite circle, an endless cycle. It can
mean a promise, a reminder, a symbol. But,
It is no longer a ring if broken. No glue can
return it to its original shape
Before the break.
Conspiracy theory: Lord of the Rings is about marriage and is full of symbolic meaning. Gollum is desperate for marriage. Ever since he became ugly, he knew that it would mean that nobody would want him. But maybe if he has a ring, he will feel some of the feelings of the bond of marriage and the feeling of love.

We need friends,
On whom we can depend.

We need friends,
With whom we can spend.

We need friends,
With whom we can attend.

We need friends,
With whom u can be when you're scared.

We need friends,
For a little mess.

We need friends,
To be dared.

We need friends,
'Cause they are gems.

                                                  We need friends!!!!
She Flies Away

Cherishing my sunset dreams,
Dreams, of times past,
Dreams, of an adorable Angel,

Seeing,

An Angel dancing in the moonlight,
Twinkling stars, in her eyes,
A heart, bright and warm as sunshine,

Lips tasting, so sweet,
Like milk chocolate hearts,
A dazzling glow around her,

Such beauty, such love she gives,

Wishing dawn would never come.

As another sad day begins,
Asking her, please stay,
Tears flow fast, as she flies away.

Love saved my life
It wasn’t long ago
when I received the call
I remember it like yesterday
It was bed time
ready to crashed when the
township called
expressing my brother had expired
someone had took his life
shot him in the head
At that very moment
my entire life shattered
into a million pieces
nowhere to be found
Quickly I rushed to
the hospital in the
hope maybe he was
still breathing, still moving
but the outcome
was everything but that
Few days after
we’ve put him to rest
in his last resting place
he was only nineteen
Felt like a dream
refused to believed
i prayed to God
to not allowed it  be true
when I awake
day dreaming
But sooner and later
you always always
have to wake up
Hatred strengthened
to a point
I was ready for war
with whomever involved
Strapped ready to fight
when I realized because
of my faith this wasn’t
the way for I’ll rot in hell
Not long after
depression  kicked in
started hearing voices
all through my head
Voices
I didn’t recognized
whispering to me
It was time to joined him
meaning
my brother to a better place
I remember
I sat in my car
with my glock clacked back
against my temple
ready to pulled
the trigger
when my phone
vibrated  and said
It was from love
I decided to answered
and told her my story
had no more desire
to live This was
my good bye
Then I started crying
and she cried along with me
and prayed with me
tell me to come home  
she’ll make this better
she didn’t want to lose me
in a word
she was carrying my son
which I’ve heard
for the first time ever
It was at that moment
when  my life started over
a clean slate at a new life
and still today
our love has
grown stronger
she showed me the
love I always needed
this  woman is the
reason I did not drown
In my depression
In my sorrow
In my anger
Everyday she came
looking for me
I knew how blessed
I am to have her
in my life today
This is my reason
I care for those
Who haven’t find
love and have no one
to call their own
Because truly I truly
don’t know what
would I do today
without my wife
in my life for
She is my treasure
and the reason
this is my reason
I’ll always choose
          Love
Elena I’m Forever Grateful And Honor You With All My Heart .... The Power Of Love!

Would you dive into the darkest depths of memories and fears in the name of Love?

Would you destroy your tower of pride in the name of Love?

Would you be willing to unwrap the ***** cloth around the thorns that hurt you before in the name of Love? For the sake of Love?

Would you be willing to risk your life in the name of Love?

Would you be willing to allow pain and firestorms mould you?

Would you be willing to put all the hate on yourself so that another could feel loved?

Would you? All in the name of Love. All for the sake of Love. All for the giving of love. All for the defense of Love. All...for Love...
God, help us to Love like you did!

When the stars align
All is right
You’ll hear or see a sign
Knowing your going to be alight

Defy the odds
Trust your heart
Following the road less traveled
Even if you have to “restart “

Trust your instincts
Grab ahold of your dreams
Make them a reality
All you have to do is trust and believe...
