Everyone wants what they cannot have at times
That pang in your chest
One to detest
There of pure longing

The feeling when you know
That ship will never set sail
At least for you
Though others board with ease
to make memories
Out there on the seas

But not you
You’re stuck where you are
Not to move
Even if you wanted to

You get used to it eventually
Though it always hurts
To know you cannot do
Go nor be
What you want most

though
If we can’t accept this
We live stuck in fantasy
Thinking on and dreaming
Of what we ought to be

Living life inside a lie
That you spun yourself
Stuck inside a box
That you, who into it climbed

Please don’t be silly
Don’t be a fool
Like every person out there
Who’s ever wanted more
Tried to even up the score
With a sense of longing
That they could not endure

They’ll just sit there laughing
Thinking that they’ve won
they’re shrouded in delusions
unable to see
They get nicked and cracked
But pay it no mind
Never considered the fact that they
Were beaten more than thought
And they’ll never know they’ve shattered
Till they see the glass
I haven't been on here for a while so i'll be putting a lot of my best stuff from more recently
IF
"IF"

If life's
a
*****,
I'd get
on
*******
it.
I'd get it dug
harder to
the
fullest
until I see
the
offspring,
baby
success.
For I'd
never rest
on my
oar until I
got what
I wanted.

If life's
journey what
takes us
through?

I wish you would leave
I wish you would let me be
I'm fine here
I'm happy here
So just let me be
Why should I chase what I know can't be mine
Why should I dream of things that would only waste my time
I'm fine here
I'm happy here
so just let me be
You know that I couldn't do it
You know that it wouldn't happen
So why should I slave over this as the days pass me by
I'm fine here
I'm happy here
So just let me be
I'll choose the safer route
And I'll learn to love it too
So when you're gone
When you've finally let me be
I'll be fine here
I'll be happy here
After you've finally let me be.

The sun rises;
The stars surprises;
Evening's glowing light;
Gardenias growing right.
Not really sure if this is about dreams.
NEVER HALT DREAMING

Your ambition
is your
Way up
to attainin'
higher level.

Walk
through tha
Path of light
and sight
brightly.

Work hard
in order to be
great.
Hold on &
be strong.

No matter
how long
stay not in
line, rather
stand out
and be
strong.

Only those
who stay
alive tell
the
livin' story.
live to
survive.

Never halt
dreaming b'cuz
the "best
way to chase
a dream is
invent it."

Corpulent, relaxed, you’re watching Netflix,
The softer we’ve become as generation.

Your function is unknown like your appendix,
Toil now is just imagination.

The days go by as you grow older,
But never faster than the lies.

You told yourself when you were bolder,
But lies catch up you realize.

That you could make it, become stronger,
Reach your dreams, that was the prize.

But you gave up, and now you ponder,
That dreams can die, in your surprise.

The way to reinvent is to rebrand
To create oneself requires real ambition
To try discovering your true self
You need no one's permission
It's okay to not know who you are because most of us are still figuring it out

Fire in your eyes is the same fire that burns the forest at one sight
Much too powerful and not at all pleasing to naked eye
Ambitious you is my favourite version of you

Gain of function
Gain of knowledge
Gain of power
Gain of money
Gain of immortality
Loss of Nature
Loss of humanity
Loss of sympathy
Loss of empathy
Loss of sense
Playing with evolution
is not a solution
Looks like a hasty conclusion
But we’re tumbling
Down towards Extinction.

This goes to Grace Eagan.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Pictures are beautiful,
And so are you.

Orchids are white,
Ghost ones are rare,
Mirrors are shiny,
And so is your hair.

Magnolia grows,
With buds like eggs,
Skins are tanned,
And so are your legs.

Sunflowers reach,
Up to the skies,
Your sun is bright,
And so are your eyes.

Foxgloves in hedges,
Surround the farms,
My embrace is welcoming,
And so are your arms.

Daisies are pretty,
Lilys  have style,
Your feeling is strong,
And so is your smile.

The Rain is beautiful,
Just like you
I had a crush on this girl for SOOOOO... Long that it is stupid to describe my love for her. Every day I thought About her.
