Brown eyes
Everyone says they're dull
But yours shine so bright

Braces
Everyone is dying to get them off
But your smile lights up the room anyway

You don't know
But my friend
You are so beautiful


Kind
An oh so caring
Always polite
Your daddy raised you right

You are no stranger to pain
An with that power
You bring us happiness

You are so loved
And if you were to forget this
It would be a crime

Never ever forget
How special you are
To all of us

And when you feel like nothing
Remember god isn't finished with you
And neither are we.

A lost soul wandering in the wilderness
For a thousand years
Searching, searching
But if you were to ask,
"what are you looking for?"
They would reply with one of two things
If you were a stranger they might say
"Something lost."
But if you were a friend
One they decided to let into their
High-walled fortress they have built
Only for their protection
They might reply
"I don't know how it looks or feels or tastes, but I do know when I find it I will know it is what I have always wished for."

I don't know what to say to you
Because when I stand by you a few inches away
A million and one words come to my mind
They choke me

I try to speak but no sound comes
And so I stand here
Wanting To say a million things
But instead remaining in silence
So instead of saying a million things
Ill just hug you

Ill wrap my arms around your neck
In hopes that through this action
All the things I've wanted to say
Will be exhaled into the air

And you will knowingly wrap your arms
Around my waist and pull me in closer
Letting my chin rest on your shoulder
All my heaviness will fade
And everything will be okay
Through  your embrace

There is a monster living in my mirror
Be careful
Look away
You are not allowed to see

I approach it carefully
But I have to see
To make sure it's still there
Not coming after me

I have to remember its face
Just in case
I should see it elsewhere

I glance in my mirror
And it begins to scream
And scream
Awful things at me

I look away plug my ears
Trying not to hear
But it's got into my mind
Not just my ears
Or my mirror

There is something peaceful about being alone
Allowed to sit with nothing but your own thoughts
Doing nothing only taking a moment to relax
Close your eyes take a deep breath
Let your mind wander to infinity
Relive good memories
Bit your lip as the bad make their reappearance
Contemplate the reason for making particular decisions
Imagine
Do not be bothered by anyone else making noise
Blah blah blah
Going on and on and on
About things you have no interest in
And go off to be alone
And find peace in the nothingness
That's all your own

There once was a man I met
He took my hand
And whispered run

There once was a man I met
He saved my girlfriends life
And took her off to have some fun

There once was a man I met
He captured me in his blue box
And showed me the creation of the world

There once was a man I met
He had two hearts
And kept me alive on the moon

There once was a man I met twice
He saved the world once again
And took me away to see the stars

There once was a man I met
He came when I was a child in bed
And I waited for him to return

There one was a man I met
He stole away my bride
And eventually me as well

There once was a man I met
He took me away in his box
And told me I was impossible

There once was a man I knew
He was my sweetie
And he saved me eternally

There once was a man I know
He stole me away
And cared for me until our deaths

There once was a man
He  fought wars
And saved worlds
He saved lives
And destroyed them
He was always kind
And very lonely

He was me

You never know what beauty holds until you see it in little things
The soft curve of someone's chin
The clean scent in the room after you shower
The warmth of your blanket as it hugs you while trying to fall asleep

You never know what beauty holds until you see it in little things
A soft breeze blowing as you walk down an old and familiar street
The piano in the background of your favorite song
The mouth-watering scent of someone making your favorite breakfast when you wake up
The peace of being in the sun with a hint of sweet scent from the flowers


So the next time you think you know all the world has to offer, look for the beauty in the little things.

The throbbing headache and nausea
I can endure; I've had worse.
Right now I could cry,
such a raw hope consumed me
as I thought about you, desperate.
It was still dark for me then,
when I needed you. Now it's day.
It brings a true smirk to my face
to know you are nothing more
than a night of binge drinking:
a foolish part of my youth,
a consequence of boredom.
I could not hold your liquor,
I vomited all that bile you said to me
in the hedges outside. Don't fret,
this is not a bad memory, in fact
you might never be a memory at all.
I am well. I will drink better and
far more dangerous poisons.
I am today, you are only last night.

You inspire poetry,
that bubbles up inside of me
You inspire creativity,
that I have to set free.
You inspire life in me,
that makes me who I want to be
You are my inspiration to movtivation.
I am your creation.
