They see only what i allow them, trapped beneath the shell of my existence only to disguise my person. walking along , head held high with a fearless smile, like a blind man to see inside me, they must read brail.  My back and shoulders in posture with all self control   as I only allow them to see my outer shell. Graceful poise, of confidence claiming pretend of a  happy, healthy person ,. Why is it so that my eyes graze across a face of unfamiliar people yet I have the ability to see through their soul, I feel their pain and sense their sadness, yet they don't see mine .I'm made not of plastic and my flesh it bleeds, my body full of pain,  I feel sadness as I have lost everything I ever had or wanted to gain.  Behind that smile i wear on my face is a lost soul that cries rivers of tears ,  I  hide it well for it's not pitty I seeks, but showing weakness in my own self would keep me from showing others that they can rise above. If nobody tried, took chances or cared what kind of shape would we be,. If it's been done once it can be done again if it hasnt, there's always the first. It only takes one person to set their problems aside and help others overcome theirs, who I am without making a sacrifice after all Look what our Lord sacrificed for you and me ..
To be unselfish and set your own issues aside to help someone else makes it so worth it for me. A friend once told me God has many blessings waiting in heaven for me, my response was that I wish he would send them to me so that I could pass them out to those that truly need them.

You are so beautiful,
Your eyes glow like sapphires
You've got a smile
that lights up the night skies
I know cuz it makes me smile too
I feel your pain when your hurting
And that burns me to the core
Cuz making you happy
it's what I'm here for,
I'd give everything to have a girl
like you in my life
You inspire and give me courage
to keep on fighting every day
You'd be all I'd ever dream of
if you let me in
Your secrets are safe
in my locked mind
Cuz I'd do anything to prove
I'm worth your time
I'd share the world with you
And give you all I have
Your kind and sweet
as far as I can see
your perfection in my eyes
And I wouldn't believe anybody
who told me otherwise.
I'd wipe the tears and running mascara
from your eyes
If you took the chance
to see what lies inside
I can see what lies inside of you
You can make me laugh
with your quirky little ways
Your an individual
and that makes me proud to say
I've never met anybody quite like you
Your cute in everything you do
Being mad or upset with you
would be impossible in my world
Because you're such an amazing girl
I'd die, I'd lie, I'd cry with you
And always hold you tight
I'd never want to let you go
Cuz you're all I think about
every minute of every day
I wonder how your feeling
I wonder what your thinking
And all that is running
through your mind
I know things aren't easy
for you right now
But I'll always be there
when you call
I'll catch you before the fall
I'll always find a way to heal
the scars deep inside your heart
And share the load you bare
Cuz I'd do anything to get you
through every twist and turn
You have all my love
and the honesty in my heart
Your the only one I'd give it too
If you took the chance on me
I'll be everything you need
I hope that I'm everything
you could want
But deep inside I feel like
you deserve a better man
But I don't know how to let go
I wanna know you inside out
I'd like to find
what makes you weak in the knees
Your favourite colour
and favourite place to be,
the movies and music
I could share with you
Long walks and hold your hand
But most of all the taste of your kiss
the soft touch of your tender lips
is a memory I'd like to make
But there's a long road ahead
I wanna do it right
Take it slow, are you in for the ride?
Or would you pass this opportunity
and deny all that I write.
Would you let it just pass by?

I try to give all the souls I care about
as much of the world and pieces of heaven I can give,
no matter what time it is or what I am doing.
And believe me, I try my absolute hardest that sometimes
it drains me...
But you know what ?
       that is okay because all these souls that I love,
are what matters the most....
-  -  -
But wait...
when it comes to me , these souls do not think I am worth any part of this world
or even the slightest piece of heaven,
or a minute of the day...
So tell me why,
I continue to give my all to these souls that I love so dearly...

i'll let you just ignore me,
if that's what you want to do;
you can sit there and abhor me
if it makes it easier for you

your kindness turned to anger,
your words no longer sweet;
so, please, tell me how you hate me,
if that makes you feel complete

your stares no longer caring,
your touch no longer warm;
so, tell me how i'm terrible
for ringing the alarm

but there's one request,
to which i cannot comply:
to hate you, i must protest -
i still don't think you're that bad a guy
.

I didn’t choose you for your color….
I didn’t choose you for your brain…
I didn’t choose you for your wealth…
I didn’t know…
I will meet you in such kind of path…
I will share my passion in this life
I will find myself with yours…
I don’t know…
What life is brining for us…
Where our feet are taking us…
How we will keep meeting…
What I know…
I’ve chosen a heart that talked with mine in a different language than others…
The blessings are in us and I am HAP (Hippo and Proud).

When you love someone, you let a lot of things slide. Things like not confirming plans until last minute, just to get out of it. Or them ignoring your texts to do other pointless ****. Or being able to be with others and not you. Or even just not caring about your life. It never seems to matter when you love them. If they were, say, just one of your friends, you'd be on them so fast they wouldn't know what hit them. But no. Not with someone you think you truly love. So many things that are wrong, are done, and brushed off simply because of that seemingly unbreakable connection. Nothing is ever brought up until it gets bad. And then you know you're ******. Nothing good comes from bringing it up late so you know it's really a problem. But neither one of you wants to deal with it so it just becomes "oh yes, that happened" and "oh yes, you don't need to worry about it" or even sometimes "yes I was wrong and it won't happen again. I'll get better". But they're empty promises. Empty promises with no results. Nothing that shows the conversation even happened. So when those problems keep happening all you think is "they're working on it, I won't pressure them". And it gets worse and worse and before you know it, one of you has broken. It'll be you. Always is. Once you're broken it feels like there's no way out. There's no way for anyone to help you. You're drowning in the middle of the ocean and there are no boats or lifelines as far as the eye can see. It feels like everything that could've ever made you happy just depresses you more and tries to push you under those waves and the more you keep fighting back the more waves are made and are used to drown you more but you don't want to stay afloat anymore because it's too much so you let yourself be pushed. Then one little thing happens that seems to pull you out but all it's done is gotten you to the surface and until you stop looking up at the clouds you don't realize. You're. Still. Drowning.

I want to grow old and say I donated
A fortune to charity
That I regret ever caring about popularity.
That my now vast vocabulary
Isn’t just vulgarity
That I lived my life in sincerity
And in that, I found clarity.
But as of now,
Life’s as clear as mud
Good thing that one of the greatest things
My brother has ever taught me
Is how to play in the dirt.
