Anger always leads too breaking something that you love and care for
You may be able to repair it
But it’ll never be the same
Always think before you act
Because that’s what leads to self misery

Quick thought of the past
JD Aug 2020
I often find myself thinking
If you’re happier with him
And how’s it gonna be
When time passes by.
I find myself
In only a struggle
But I know I’ll be fine.
Only with what happened
But not with what could’ve been...

It doesn’t feel right.
JD Jun 2020
Why do we fight?
We had something that was like a light
That over time became clouded from all the arguments.
But through it all
we would just keep trying
Right?
Because deep down we know
That through all this darkness
And what lies upon the other side of those clouds
is that light.
It reminds us of how beautiful we really are.
It’s amazing how things just become so clear again.
I hope you know that sometimes you have to make it through a storm just to be able to see that light once more.
But God only knows if we’ll make it.
I’m really really sorry.

I always write
But the delete button is my friend
Because life is just hard
And I’ve never felt so alone
with so many people around me
How can you really express something like
that?
You don’t know me so it feels safe to say.

Silents in a room
JD Feb 2020
Why're you just laying in bed?
Contemplating and wishing you were dead?
What ever happened to you?
You used to be someone worth looking up too.
You used to believe in so many things
your morals have changed
now you're such a worthless being..
Do you even care what I'm saying?
Cant you see that I've been praying?
Hoping for you to change
but you never will...
you'll always be a loser
and that's how you lose the girl...
Cant you see?
I'm the one who's stuck having to see this
most nights I just feel so defeated!
As if this life were a game that's been cheated!
I just wanted you to do your best
but, it's all not good enough
so you lay your head to rest.
You know..
I've given up on you
and I don't care what you've been through
nobody cares
not your family
not your friends
but you can end it all tonight
probably the best way to avoid another fight.
You know this is true,
all these things I say to you.
Just bite the bullet
let it go through
because we both know
you're better off dead...

"God. grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

Honestly I feel so alone.
I don't really know what to say
I get chocked up from this feeling
its like taking the worst of a beating
a feeling inside you
that you only wish would die
like a fire that just keeps on going
you need to put it out
but it only rises higher
burning everything around
and you just watch your whole world
burn to the ground.
So I'm sorry if I'm not okay!
what would you know anyway?!
you're the one making me feel this way!
wanting me to take my own life!
wanting me to give up on this fight!
wanting me to push everyone away!
you're the one who's given up
I'm trying to find the strength just to get up!
so why don't you leave me alone?
you're the one who's destroying my soul!
you're the one blaming it all on me!
you're the one who's causing the scenes!
you're the one putting this **** in my head!
you're the one thinking I'm better off dead!
while I maybe in the shadows
my heart and soul swing under the gallows.
But I'm not going to let you take my life!
I'm going to find a way to make this right..
you've taken everything out of me
but I will find a way to see this light.
because I know there's a bigger reason to fight
It's bigger then you!
It's bigger then me!
and one day I know
I'll truly be happy.

For a friend
JD May 2019
A sight you see
But is it real?
Looking for truth
Unraveled and revealed
Am I here?
Or am I not?
Reality traps me
In this box.
I hope to look for
What I have forgot.
The freedom that is me
But maybe not.
All lies in my train of thought.

Leaving them in the back of your

Prevail over what should be considered insane.
Look upon yourself

Shout out
JD Jul 2017
We've been playing this game
for way to long.
It's hard to fight the pain
When all and all it's done..
You left me wounded,
You left me scared,
Having trust issues
Now feeling impaired.
Who's to say that you'd even care.
Taking the truth,
Instead of the dare.
Let me tell you something
Finding love is rare
But, if you went the distance
Nobody else compares,
To you.

Prophecy
JD Jul 2017
Running towards a light
That's faster then I can run.
Seeking for knowledge
Meanwhile I'll always be dumb.
Holding on to regrets
That I just can't seem to let go of.
My future will be
unfortunate.
Yeah this is sad, I know.
I can't seem to find the words I wanna say anymore
Like as if they don't exist
And if my voice is a sad one
Then so be it.

Her
JD Dec 2016
Her
There's a tingle in my chest
Hair going up but,
I'm not cold.
Finding a moment of rest
Deep within my soul

She's like Angel,
Flying within the breeze
And she sees me...

How could I ever lose her?
If I did,
What would I do?
She's a million miles away from me
Yet, it all still feels so new

She beautiful...
And only God knows for who..
But she saves me.

Yeah she saves me...

If I could only see her,
Day after day..
I wouldn't ever care if we ran out of things to say.
All I need is this women
That's all I really need.

She's my baby.
And she saved me.

Meaning of life
JD Nov 2016
The meaning of life
is to show existence
of everything around you

Otherwise, without life
who's to say
anything even exists at all?
Maybe life spreads, continuing to show existence of everything around you.
To constantly show everything there is.
It must be better to be alive
So we share and create life "a new existence" to our world to experience the new journey of being real.
Proven real
By existing in the first place and acknowledging it.

keep running
JD Oct 2016
"give me pain
let it rain
i'll keep running
never turning back"

that's what life does to you
leaving you thinking there's nothing left
but, you can go the distance
you can go the mile.

Do it for the children
do it for yourself
give'm a reason to never give up.

when it hurts
it's gonna poor
but, it only makes you stronger
the more you can endure

so you can run the distance
you can run the mile
never turning back
live life for awhile

it's only gonna get worse
although, it's a blessing in disguise
soon you'll find the answers
for the reasons we try

just follow your heart
and do what's right
because, you're strong
and life will go on.

So just keep running.

Turn off the lights
JD Oct 2016
Turn off all the lights
Just close your eyes and hold me tight.
Turn off all the lights
I promise everything's alright.

We can go to missippi
Or maybe Italy
I know we ain't got a lot of money
But, that's okay when you're with me.

Turn off all the lights.
Just close your eyes and hold me tight.
Turn off all the lights
I promise everything's alright.

I know we ain't got much
But, love is what we've got.
We can go anywhere,
Just close your eyes.

If I could make your dreams
all come true,
Then I'd do it all for you.
Just to see that smile,
for only a moment..
All my problems go away.
And when you're with me
I feel so free,
You make me happy.
Just promise me
that you'll never leave
So we can be a family.

just turn off all the lights
close your eyes and hold me tight.
Turn off all the lights
I promise everything's alright.

Action of an Action
JD Jul 2016
There's so much
too much if ask me,
why does it need to be like this?
we're all the same
yet so different
yelling!
screaming!
Just for what we want..
but, there can never be a compromise
instead, it's just always filled with more lies
although, with so many lies
we'll miss the truth,
when it's right in our faces..
We're all so crude
yet, how could you expect so much?
these violent terrors are not just by the actions of people
but, by their violent thoughts instead
that grew inside their heads
from being emotional themselves,
exceeded beyond belief.
a feeling of revenge and anger,
maybe even one day remorse..
but, it's all caused by another action
to create such thoughts.
a chain..
that's all it is.
Where did it begin?
When will it end?
I feel it myself sometimes,
a fear of no fear,
action beyond recognition,
pride over dignity,
and that itself is what this world can be.
A very scary place
with no ears to listen.

                                                   although, until then you've got to be patient.

Does it Fit?
JD Jul 2016
This doesn't fit..
Where in the hell can I find one that fits?
Uhhh...
I know others have them,
some seem pretty obvious
but, I feel a great sorrow for them.
Although, I guess I should just go look in a mirror then, huh.?
I don't want to,
so I wont.
Not until I can find one that fits..

Do you have one?
Do you know where I can get one?
I need to know,
you see, people can just take it off
although, It's not reusable for anyone else,
It wont fit,
It only can for that one person.
Only them as an individual.

I've asked before,
In my own kind of way.
where they've gotten theirs
but, they seemed confused

"friends
people"

"You can't just get one,
why would you even want one?"

-I just do.

"Is it for you?"
"Is it for them?"

-Don't ask.

I leave and go home,
I should look in a mirror..
Maybe that will help determine a size.
I'm afraid to tho..
whenever I look, it's never the same as the pictures
not anymore.
why are the pictures on the wall so different?

-finally face to face

I feel my skin
I look in my eyes
although, every time I see another guy..

-wait...

I think I found one,
what I've been looking for,
and I've been wearing it all along,
masquerade I endure.

I try to take it off,
it's really sticking on tight.
The skin finally rips,
I see myself in sight.

The pictures looked the same again
just a little bit dim,
In fact that's the same face.
Its just always been hidden.

I couldn't believe it though,
That's what I looked like.
I almost forgot..

I've had what I was looking for,
a mask to cover my face.
What I didn't know was,
that the mask was fearsome itself.
Had it almost consumed me entirely,
While I was looking for a new one..
or one in general.

I can see my face again
all grey but, with circles of light around my eyes
a glimmer of hope.
I no longer see that other guy.
the mask can only fit once
so it's all okay.

This is the last thing I can say,

Just don't lose yourself under your own skin,
Always know there's another day.
Never forget there's another way.
To express towards others or yourself,
That you have the strength to admit for help.

Just look in the mirror
tell me what you see,
are you wearing a mask?
or are you free?

Moral judgments
is it by him or her?
what's the right or wrong
will you follow your own insecurity
or perhaps open your eyes to who you really are.
Maybe no one has to know
maybe no one deserves to know
"You"
there's no need to prove a thing to anyone
no, they need to see the most unpredictable moments
to where you show yourself
without givin any thought,
without trying to impress
but instead,
you're just being you..
That's all you should have to do,
you shouldn't try to impress him
or her
or anyone
no, just yourself.
push yourself pass your own limits
until one day you find someone,
someone who CAN go further then you,
someone who CAN'T realize it yet,
someone who can go further then THEMSELVES
"because of you."
be as you are,
for your days will come
where your abilities of being yourself
will change the world of a whole other person
and you didn't even have to try so hard.
yes there will be rough times
and yes there will be good
although,
you may not even notice it,
not for years to come
but, you make all the difference
when you're just being yourself.

Dreaming for better days.

Because, today is yesterday
And tomorrow's already gone

Yet fool's who had some fun

And we'll teach our young
"Don't do what we did
We were all pretty dumb"

Dreams are a fiction reality
Where sometimes it brings you to a wonderful place
While other times your left in your own hell.
How You wake up and take it is more important.
Are you happy?
Left in a confusion?
Or just get up like nothing happened
because, you know it didn't.
For myself,  Dreams follow me all day
Eventually until they're either forgotten
Or the next night comes and a new dream appears.
I find it funny that a good dream
Can now be left as a nightmare
And a nightmare isn't so scary anymore.
Although tell me this,
When you know it's a dream
Do you wanna wake up
Or just see how it goes?

It takes only a ten seconds to change everything
Whether your in control of it or not.
It can be done by acting out
Or just hearing What someone has to say.
It could be great
or become a disaster.
Just when things seem to be okay
And nothing can be taken away, because, you already lost
"everything"
There will always be something that could be taken away..
Seems easy to say
"I'm used to it"
In full honesty
You never are.
"At least not for myself."
But it's one of those times again I have no control
And everyone around me will just say
"Well that *****."
While all I can do is quietly nod in agreement to my closest friends..

Once again,
It only takes ten seconds to change everything.
I wrote this because this is how I get through things. I write.
I won't care about opinions or advice.
I just wanted to have something to say to someone who won't make a difderence.

From what seemed so long ago
instead, it's shorten now
in compared to being read in another ten years
the pattern starts over again.
From being really young
to mid aged
until I'm old
it all even ends the same...
So here's hope for the beginning to start over
or at least watch from a sidelines,
it may look different
but, it's all the same.
Life and the words I say will not matter
my life will not matter.
Maybe to a few it could change things
but, I enjoy being here anyways,
to grow
experience
to take
watch
and think in my own way.
yet the pattern continues again.

A shy fire
JD Feb 2016
So silent but, quick in a move
Once you start, you keep on going
Nothing really slows you down.
You only need that first push,
to really heat things up.
Then, you get loud and destructive
Leaving us no choice,
we have to put you out.
That's why your always Shy
When meeting new people
Just waiting for them to turn around.
