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.

Don't Judge
JD Jul 2015
Don't judge to quick my darling love
or you shall fall in the hell below.

Travel the world like flying doves
always appearing in waters so shallow.

Don't judge to quick my darling love
or you shall fall in the hell below.

It seemed perfect as a hand to a glove
but now it moves towards the gallows

Don't judge to quick my darling love
or you shall fall in the hell below.

This is what happens when you shove
never giving it a chance to glow.

Don't judge to quick my darling love
or you shall fall in the hell below.

This is your chance to rise above
or leave yourself in the endless woe.

Don't judge to quick my darling love
or you shall fall in the hell below.

Don't judge to quick my darling love
otherwise you may never know..

pattern
JD Mar 2016
I see a repeat in life
as I get older
nothing really changed besides the eyes view
"my views"
although, I see someone younger who had the same ideals
like I once had.
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.

Forever Love
JD Aug 2015
I wish to hold your hand
as I'm staring at your face.
I'll go everywhere you are
just to make sure you're safe
I'll lie by your side in case you have a fright,
I'll whisper in your ear in the dead of night,
"I love you."
So you can hear me in your dreams
but, sadly this one seems like a bad one to me.
Yet, if you're ever with another, it'll be like any other
I'll die from the inside although, I'm already gone
and for when you die, who would be the one?
Tho, I'll always love you, for this I know is true
So try not to forget about me
I'll see you soon...

Light
JD Feb 2016
It's funny, how fast light is,
Passing by as if time had stopped itself.
spreading everywhere on everything in a brightness.
It's the only thing that can split the dark from the inside out.

It's warm,
It's beautiful,
And, it's a feeling of being safe.

Although, when everything seems so great,
Light still keeps on moving
Kinda of in the blink of an eye
It leads back to the dark.

I believe people have a way of spreading there own kind of light
Yet, we're more fragil.

People have a way to bring
warmth,
Love,
And that feeling of just being safe.

Only it's easier to break a bulb
Then it is to make one.
It can always be replace
But, it will shine a bit differently.

So really take a look at what brightens up your day
Because, before you know it,

It's gone,
It's cold,
And you feel alone.

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.

Should i let him in?
JD Oct 2015
The reaper is knocking at my door
I'll let him in so I know for sure
That's it's okay.
We could get to know one another
Better to be polite,
And accept my guest
For when the day comes
I won't be afraid
On the contrary, I'll embrace my death.
He's got a grin I've never seen before
I hesitate,
Should I open the door?
Fear starts to engulf me
I slam it back in his face
I won't let you take me on this date.
Although he didn't move
Rather just standing there with the syth in his hand.
Patiently waiting.
For that day.
Should I Let him in?
Should I keep him out?
Better to know your guest
But you never know when you'll be next.
Either way he doesn't care
He'll just stand there
giving me that death stare.

What you call free
sounds like crap!
What I call free,
well.. we just can't have that.
It's not like we can run away on our own.
So is there ever a place we can really call a home?
With one issue,
causes another.
I'm tired of this world
lets create one better!
I'm sure people really wouldn't mind that,
but who's gonna be the one who gets shot in the back?
We try to express ourselves over music like, pop and rap
but, like a wise women once said.
"Ain't no body got time for that."
So is anyone out there gonna take a stand?
While I'm the one out here who's raising my hand.
With my fist held high
I reach to the sky
Join me my friends
to surely make this to an end!
We have the power to change our world,
but we need to do it together,
with every boy and girl.
For the future is within our hands!
All we need to do, is just think of a master plan.

We'd say we'd never wanna grow up
Life's short and complicated
So what.

I don't ever wanna hear you say,

Dreaming for better days.

Because, today is yesterday
And tomorrow's already gone

Yet fool's who had some fun

Tho one day we'll have to grow up
And we'll teach our young
"Don't do what we did
We were all pretty dumb"

Purgatory
JD Feb 2015
In the minds of us all
We share the maze of shadow walls*

Thinking you know who you are,
but slowly learning from a far,
The past will show up once in awhile.
The present seems like you're on trial.

The *Man in Black
holds you Dear,
but the ones you lost
show only fear.
Afraid of you?

No.. "You're not there."

The walls move
will you continue to go further?
The doors only open
when things fall into order.

The memories came back
and you went insane,
but would do it over again
just too relieve there pain?

You fall now
in a drastic motion,
where the Man in Black
felt all of your emotions.

You have a second chance now
too see them once more,
and all you have to do
is just open up the right doors.

So follow the maze
just one more time...
To finally let go
of that once horrible crime.

It won't be easy,
but you're not alone,
For The Man in Black
shall be the one to take you home
This is about a story I wrote

Sneak
JD Apr 2015
The night was young
when "we went to bed"
I couldn't stop picturing her in my head.
We'd say goodnight
yet, stay awake.
Only thinking of each others face.

I'd walk out the room
to go get a drink,
"Or maybe that's what I wanted her to think"
but, it came to my surprise
she was up as well.
Maybe this was sign
who was I to tell.

She'd look at me
as I'd look at her
when our eyes collide
I see the universe.

I moved in closer
as would she,
we gave each other a hug
but couldn't be set free.
"don't let me go..
I like how this feels"
but, then it got better when she turned the wheel.

Her lips pressed to mine
I felt something real
we moved to our beds, now knowing how we feel.

you could say it was sneaky
on what happened next,
we couldn't make a noise
but we passed the test.

She'd now sleep on my side
when the sun finally rose
and when I'd open my eyes
I could see birds out the window.

But, more importantly
she was right there
and that was when I knew
how much I really cared.

I miss that day
all of them together
but, all I see is
I gotta play this game better.

When we were a family.
Not that we aren't one anymore,
But the times when I knew you made me feel secure.
I had secrets that only you knew..
I guess theirs not much now left to lose,
Dad I love you.
I miss your smile..
But don't you frown
Ill be there in a little while.
Someday Ill look back to what is now
And just be happy that you were always around.
I cant let go of the feelings I have
But I know one thing for sure..
You'll always be my Dad.

Found At Sea
JD Feb 2015
A body floating in water
drifting out to sea
you came my way
unexpectedly

I could feel the ripples
climbing against my skin
I'm also not sure
where this all really began.

Not sure if I was drowning,
not so sure where I belonged
but when I hit my head
that's when you came along.

I could only look forward
and it was so hard to see
but, when I looked above
there was an angel smiling at me.

I tried to reach for her,
I tried to speak
But, my breath was taken
or so it seemed.

I could feel a pounding in my chest
not just once, but more
then she put her lips to mine,
I was confused for sure.

I coughed up water
then I looked in her eyes
I couldn't believe it
"you just saved my life!"

An angel was there that day
but not one with wings,
instead it was my angel
and now we share two rings.

Throughout the forest trees start to fall,
leaving nothing but smoke and ashes.

still pure and healthy,
as green as it'll ever be.

A new dream

Thoughts of a Smoker
JD Jun 2015
Light up a cigarette
it's how we escape
in hope life gets better
until we leave this place.

Leaving of course, from a stray
is any one intending for you to stay?
It takes thirty seconds
to smoke part of your life away.

Some look in the mirror
now covered by grey.
They cough up a lung
with nothing left to say.

Everyone else will pass away
continuing to smoke everyday.
Maybe there was always a better way
yet, look who cared enough to stay.

The reason I smoke everyday
is because, I'm stuck here in a pray
hoping someone will come save the day
or i'll say goodbye, in my own patient way.

I don't like to smoke
I can honestly say...
Yet I still do it
Day by Day.
No one likes smoking right away
most of the time when they start it's for attention
enough time for people to notice.
some people really don't care. I don't think many people wanted to start in the first place.
instead, they're only looking for a way to escape
it's easy to quit when you start but,
how hard is it to just be there for them right away before it continues to get worse? I smoke, and this is what I can say.
otherwise, tell me why you really think people smoke today?

Feeling lost.
JD Apr 2015
Lost in a maze
don't know where I am
I look to the side
and see a friend.

They helped me through it
but then they're gone,
I had to find out where I belonged.

Brought to the streets
Thus began a fight
these two men who were in my sights.

It wasn't long before I knew,
that these men had better things to do.
Confused for sure, but now I can see,
we walk these streets to find our dreams.

So what if I'm not alone?
These men also need a home.
I break free from my own chains
to wake up and feel there pain.

A dream of feeling stuck and alone.
The emotions only continued to grow.
I had fear of self control,
to be cast out in the endless snow.

So happy to have woken up
But the real world doesn't feel quite enough
if only we could truly see,
that all people have a time of need.
I base this off a dream.

The Paopu fruit
JD Mar 2015
I'll watch the night
beneath the stars
waiting for her to come from afar

With the moon lite up
we can both share
this moment we have in a deep stare

Her eyes greener than the grass
with lips so soft,
her kisses last

and the silence really isn't bad
because of the memories we once had

Like how we laughed
or how we played
just me and her
listening to the waves

we'd call each other
by silly names
yet sadly these things don't always remain

But I'll always look up
and still think of her smile..
**That Paopu fruit really does last for awhile.
for those who don't know what a Paopu fruit is
It's a representation of a bond that last forever,
you can only share this once.

This has you look at things

To be alone with your thoughts,
isn't so bad.
It gives you time to think
about what you really have.

I could give examples
but, where's the fun in that?
how about instead you pop a squat
and give you're mind a little chat.

Whispering in our heads
"How can you stop what can't be dead?"

Well with our power
We can stand tall
Against the forces in ourselves
Is there really evil at all?

Or are we just another character
Falling in our demise,
Letting the voices speak to us,
hiding in another disguise

Well it's up to you
If you choose to hide
Or get off your ***
And try to stay alive.

So there's the theory of the multi universe, where if we were to keep going further into space that sooner or later we would reach an end to it. Being that the entire Universe itself is inside a bubble, next to other bubbles that have there own universe in them as well. I  believe in the idea of division by two. consistently cutting size in half by two until we reach another universe, being so small that nothing can affect the other universes or "world". We also know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed... We are made up of energy and created from the same materials as the stars in the sky, what if energy is so light and small, that when we die, it goes into the next universe and we get to relive our lives over again? Being weak from death, and having no memory at all, we are reborn to live out lives over again. This time with different decisions. What if there is an infinite amount of universes that you consistently live that have different decisions made in them? Also having an infinite amount of universes that you don't exist as well, meaning there are an infinite over an infinity of things that could ever happen to you and without you. Having people who aren't born in this universe, but having there own infinite universe of there own? from one little change to something drastic, would change everything.. example: if a wolf eats a deer, it means nothing to us, but in the reality of the universe, it would have changed everything that ever could have been or ever was with that deer. what If the deer hadn't been eaten? Maybe in a long run, the deer would have had breed some young, and the young would have been eaten by someone who was starving to death, but if the wolf had eaten the first deer, the person would have died who was starving. Now if the wolf hadn't eaten the deer, the person could have lived and maybe could have had children of there own, that would have drastically changed everything. What if we do relive our lives in the other universe, but with different decisions up to a point at any given time? only being one choice made to change EVERYTHING. everything could have followed through up to any moment in time that we decided to do something different, like me picking up a glass of water instead of a glass of tea, may seem like nothing, but it could alter anything in the future because i thought differently at that moment, meaning my decision on anything COULD be different afterwards. Also an idea for instincts, maybe we have a feeling or "reminder" or being at the same situation as before? What if so called God, is the universe itself. Nothing is perfect. so how could heaven be? They say Angels envy us for living. what if Living is our heaven, and that we relive our lives until its perfect, but nothing is perfect and for one to have perfection another wouldn't. meaning we would be in a constant cycle of life forever, learning something new every time without knowing it. We create our own heaven and hell. Judgment is the people that are around us.. If someone had killed someone else, they would go to jail. possible for life, so it seems like the worse thing ever to be stuck in a room for the rest of your life thinking you'r going to die and not know what will happen next, what if its a lesson to learn and the next time you live that life, you make a different decision, based off of your own instinct. Because whats a worse punishment than not knowing whats next, but being able to relive your life, its kinda like being grounded, just not knowing you will someday be free again. There has to be an unlimited amount of energy, meaning an unlimited amount of lives that could ever live, just in another universe that we may be able to see again. Who knows, maybe this is our tenth billion life living here again, and with an infinity amount of living, it really seems like nothing has changed at all, compared the universes itself going on forever. Meaning we may have nothing to fear at all after death. This is all just an idea i'v made up, but it's always running through my mind. Im probably wrong, but its just a thought.

"If we could flow back in time
would you go with me?"

To relive those days in our prime
yet nothing's ever free..
and all the challenges we'd have to climb,
with waves sailing over seas.

"If we could flow back in time
would you go with me?"

Knowing this choice could be sublime
I'll never go if you plea.
I'd drop it all like a dime
yet, still have a feeling of glee.

"If we could flow back in time
would you go with me?"

I'd plan to use this like a thyme
to heal the wounds, you see.
Almost as soothing as a chime
peacefully hanging from a tree

"If we could flow back in time
I ask, would you go with me?"

Please don't consider this as a crime
I'm only using it as a key.
To start this we must gesture like mimes
so lets give it to the count of three.

I remember when, back in the days
Skies looking so blue

Within that time we shared this world
as only us two.

Now you try to take control, leaving me with little left to do.
Are you losing your soul or am I just crazy to you?

Ever since I was little, I'd looked towards what we'd become
But, now that we're older, it's really not all that fun.

So I may be crazy but, so are you..
and you'll always be my baby, who broke my heart in two.

So it's time to take control, before you gain it once more.
I'll bring this world back to what it was before.

A place that's safe, where the skies are blue
except you won't be around this time, to ruin the mood.

thus to see the side of a beautiful dark blue sky
with the stars shining down upon us,
it brings back the memories of what we've just had together,
of me thinking of you
and possible you thinking of me.
The thoughts are so warming,
its as if the sun had just came up again for another day,

although, with the choices you make
at least you lived the way you wanted
with no regret
with no fear
but the thrill of seeing what this world can make of you.

Christmas Tree
JD Dec 2015
I'll watch the tree all night
With the lights that shine a bit dim,
While all my troubles will disappear
Shortly until the new year begins.

Merry Christmas.

Continue the Game
JD Jan 2015
Breath a long as I
Until we all Die

Never let go
In spit of fear
There will always be time,
Time for those tears.

Life is the Game,
sadly we all play.
Some of us will quit,
leaving the rest with little to say.

The fears we have
are the ones we need to let go
because, we'll all go together
**and never truly Die alone.
Realize that we're all connect
