I wish people would learn
I'm different
I hate how they always expect me to do
what everyone else does
I wish they would see
that I never do the average thing.
I don't think the way other men do,
nor do I act the way they do.
I wish people would know that they can trust me.
I wish they would know that I am always here for them
always will be
I am different.
I do not dwell in thoughts of ***,
I do not swim in guilt.
I am my own person
with strong morals,
a healthy passion,
and a heart that wants to love
Thats really all there is to me.
I wish people give me a chance
because I am
*different

I don't know what to feel
I don't know how to act
This is all too real
I thought we had a pact
Confused, empty, hopeful, needy, tearful, overwhelmed, exhausted, hopeless

I was Sitting here
Waiting
Waiting for the world to inspire
Inspire me to write
To laugh
To do
Waiting for the world to tell me
How
How to motivate
How to do
What needs to be done
How to create a world to be won
Nothing
I waited
For nothing
I waited to be acted upon
I had no reason to be here
Then one day the motivation struck
Just for 10 minutes
10 minutes
Is all you needed
You appeared in my life
Like a vision in a dream
I had only planned strife
You put a stop to that scheme
You said I was worth it
In your eyes a gleam
You gave me a motivation
I’ve had never before seen
Never mattered location
You opened for me a new door
This life the old me envies
My heart no longer poor
Happiness no longer on a distant shore
Ten minutes and all this was spun into motion
Inside my head you started a commotion
A storm now rages inside
Emotions that burst forth
From a long ago place
You inspired me to write
To dream
To laugh
To do
To live
No longer am I waiting to put effort into action
You’ve given me the how
How to do what needs to be done
You’ve started creating
A world to be won
The world we needed
And this world is better than I could have imagined.
And all it took was ten minutes unimpeded
To my angel

Don't you ever get tired of the show you put on
Or did you begin to think it was real
Do you ever get bored of lies you live
Or did you begin to think they were the truth
The only truth you have you steal
Too much an actress
Too much a fool
Too full of youth
Naïve by choice
For its **appeal
Stanley Wilkin Jan 2016
The ecstasy was profound
burning through limb and pore-
attached to the ground,
bound by its core.

Pulling away the joy
circulated through her form
smiling at the boy
now depleted and worn.

If only it was as easy as just understanding..
Belief with parallel action is what we need to master
Most of us know what we need
Many of us know what the world needs
Few of us act on that enlightenment
Therefore remaining unenlightened
If only it wasn't so easy just to remain a bull *******
I'm a bull ******* and a total hypocrite some times. At least I have the spine to admit it.

Go ahead,
Make it look like everything is okay.
When you know it's not.
Go ahead,
Put that fake smile on so people don't see the tears behind your eyes.
Go ahead,
Fake that laugh so no one can hear you crying for help.
Go ahead,
Act all tough so no one can see you crumble.
Go ahead and smile.

For time does not wait for us..
Live now, Live today
Because it's time
To change
To be the change

Hurry..
