They will tell you
All poetry has been written
There is nothing new
Under the moon
But let me tell you
They don’t know you
You are as unique
As the DNA that exists
Within your frame
The ripples on your thumbprint
No one ever had the same.

Listen...

You have something to say
Say it proudly
Say it boldly
Never let them scold you.

Never let them make you go away.

My heart feels like
it's about to shut down
from all the truths
that only I know

People view me
as kind
selfless
heartfelt
with empathy

Yet once they witness
my darker side
this inner demon
that is always
a few steps behind me

Once they see
the ashes and smeared blood
tainted within my mind and heart

I am once again alone
alone to pick up the pieces 
of a love that never was

I remember the evening
that we sat clinging
to paper cups
of coffee gone cold

over secrets spilled and memories told
two bodies cursed
with hearts grown old

behind your eyes
I found new worlds
A winding road stretched out for miles
to a small cafe at the end of the isle

Sweet pastries filled the mouths
of those who sat beside us
and stayed for a while.

How the hours went by,
people just passing through
The descending sun ending
a forever with you.

as the day turn to grey
it leaves behind the sky
it becomes the past
and another day
to be glad
as the sun welcomes
you to hug
another opportunity
is waiting for you
to grab
with every routine
in the morning,
take it slow
and appreciate the
beauty of God’s creation
as you deeply awaits it with awe
wherever you go,
there is everything in silence
when you look up in the sky
so calm and relax
moving forward slowly
and surely
taking you somewhere
that you’ve never been
or just here
being at the present moment of time
but
as the time arrives so fast,
take your pace to slow
and respect the full day
with glow in your eyes
that spark in the night
that shines so bright
and cease it
with a great life to be thankful for.
