the heart becomes hollow
you know
the rain will go
down , do
to plant love's wall
people show
the love arrows throw
needs hero
love needs go heart, faith and believe

I've become the worst poet,
you always seem to love my work
when the words aren't mine.

I've become the highest pushover,
I tend to take your unwanted advice
with a closed mouth and a lying nod.

I've become your vassal,
working my hardest to make all your days luminous
wondering why mine are so overcast.

I've become this ball of anxiety,
making sure you are calm and collect in life
while I am stricken with trepidation.

Most of all I've become a liar
for blaming it on you my whole life
when not once did I speak up the truth to you
or myself.

Feel the emptiness.
Embrace the still, calm, presence.
Let this become you.

"it's just some things you need to work on"

shouldn't you love me
for who i already am?
not someone you
aspire me to become?

sure, i'm needy
and always thinking of you
but is it so wrong
to be so in love?
i wouldn't change anything about you.
you're perfect just the way you are.
i love you for who you are.
i'm so **** sad.

My hopes were lower than the floor of city puddles
Until, until
The sunlight came which was your name
And evaporated me into the clouds
And now all that's left is the little sounds
Of the new me falling all around

With a ripple I change
Becoming rain
Gosh... I really like how this one turned out. Not that the expression is perfect or that it's completely about me. But the flow, the flow.

We must become far more than what the system wants us to be.
We are surpassing standards our peers have failed to reach.
We are achieving goals and making it to places
    our ancestors once dreamed.
We are living the wildest dreams of those before us.
We are going to places not even some of
    our parents have been to or seen.
Who are you becoming?
XLVII. FROM THE SLUMS

With the weight of responsibility of trying to secure a future for one's family, with the pressures of progressing and "making it" in life, there are those who are fighting and pushing forward! While people sit back, comfortably, living crowded and messy lives, and living from check to check, there's a people focused on marching ahead... In no way am I replacing faith with "success" but there's a difference in doing what you can and trusting the process from remaining comfortable in circumstances that weren't meant to be permanent in the first place!
