with your hands You
hung the stars in the sky
and know them all by name.
You put the sun and moon
in their places and
with your hands You
made the roaring seas
and majestic mountains
and those same hands that
hung the stars and
placed the sun and moon and
made the seas and mountains
made this heart.
It's my 33rd birthday today
and I have so many people in my life
cheering for me
caring for me.

Honest people,
lovely people,
people I inspire,
and people I admire.

But all I want
is her love
back then
when we were together.

*Selfish, isn't it?
I wrote half of the verses when I wrote the notes for my poem 'Back then'. And back then I encountered, that they really could stand for their own

Caught within a nightmare deep
Broken chains of sad regret
Locked behind these bars of steel
Darkness every corner wept

Walls of stone now caving in
Running at a quicker pace
Drowning in the stench of fear
Lies I wish I could erase

Only but a tiny light
Shines beyond this cavern long
Hope defies my every view
How could one man be so wrong?

On my knees of shredded flesh
Pleading words on weary breath
One more chance I beg this day
Or this end shall be my death

Falling fast and fading far
Pain collects my shattered mass
In a heap my world does lay
Waiting for this life to pass

When a hand appears my sight
Gentle as a fluttered wing
Upon a breeze of whispered air
Warm as any day of spring

Then your perfect face I see
“I’m sorry,” cries my truthful word
“I forgive you” floats my way
The sweetest sound I’ve ever heard

Joy does calm my beating heart
Lifted now I stand so free
Every prayer my mind had found
Answered when you came to me

Lead me for I follow you
Take me from this desperate scene
End this nightmare born in hell
So I may live within your dream
I often disregard the fact that people affect me the way they do
whether it be good or bad, I just can't shake the fact that people matter
So I'm really astonished by the fact that good people
or anyone really, are treated badly
Is it that we forget the Golden Rule at a certain age
such as when adolescence hits and our selfishness consumes us
or when things gets so bad that it's depression you can't escape
whatever it maybe, whoever it maybe
don't you think they'd appreciate a little kind-heartedness?
even if it ain't reciprocated,
even if they hate you,
even if they harm you,
look into the core of their soul
and let them know,
how their actions only reflect
how much hurt they have endured
and the fact of the matter is,
that they are loved,
it's ensured
even if they aren't.
many thanks for reading, share it around if you like it!

diana
and from this day on, i still
remember how it felt the
day you left me with no explanation.

making me feel like a unwanted
piece of crap with having no
reason to live anymore.

you were the blood in my veins,
the reason i was alive,
but now that you're gone i have
no reason to live anymore.

i just hope that one day
you know what you caused.

Six years old and we thought we knew
How it would all turn out
But Prince Charming doesn't
Go through hell to find us
He doesn't love us more
Because we're not completely human
The beasts don't transform
Just because we love them
One kiss doesn't awaken us
We're never rescued from the Gustavs
The Jafars
Or the wicked witches
And there are never any happily ever afters
I wish you were there
to fight the bad dreams
off for me, but really
you can't help but
help the demons
choke and squeeze my lungs
to release the air that
I need to breath and you
couldn't have cared less.
