Tell me you love me,
Tell me you want me around.

Tell me I'm all the things
You've ever desired.

And I will show you
A steadfast commitment,
A hotheaded opinion,
And a stubborn will to do my best by you.

Show me that you'll love me for forever and day,
Show me that you want to keep me around.

Show me that I'm everything
You've ever desired.

And I'll tell you
Of my being loyal to a fault,
All my passionate opinions,
And of my headstrong way about sticking around.

I don't give up,
It's never been for me,
So tell me
Tell me you're the same,
And we'll show the world.

No battle is won by merely one man
It is won in the blood stained garments of many
It is not dictated by the resolve in his final stand
But the impact of the burden carried by all, on every step of the journey

“Battles”-JP

To our fears we could easily succumb
Or try our hardest them to overcome;
Choose to let them rule us and stagnate
Or use them to ourselves motivate.
For when we overcome our fears only
Can we be all we could possibly be.

Penance comes to me on the eve
Of the second coming,
Awash with promise and horizons
That have never seen the night.
I know my own name clearer
Than any punch I've ever felt;
Or slamming door where I am
Standing on the wrong side.

My name is Amelia and
I am stronger than any storm
You have ever weathered;
More powerful than a hair in
Your mouth, or smoke in your eye.
I stand before you as Atlas,
Holding up this world with the sheer
Determination of someone prepared to die.

I can see the new world through
The same eyes that used to show me
Darkness more terrifying than the day,
When light would fall into every crack,
And bounce across every word I said.
Now as I move to meet my maker,
I do so calmly, yet without caution.
I know my own name now.

Don't tell me the odds,
'Cause I'll beat them.
Don't tell me the rules,
'Cause I'll break them.

I'm all about being the best I can be,
And to do that I can be none other than me.

So don't tell me the odds,
Because odds are meant for beating,
And if you tell me the odds,
That'll be our last meeting,
Because people say
Soulmates aren't real
And people say
Divorce rates are at a record high,
But I don't give up
And I don't say goodbye.

So give me a chance,
Give me a choice,
And I'll always choose you.

Location unknown
Uncharted,
Paths not yet sown.
Unsullied—
No person’s come close,
Refuge for no person,
Uncharted and off course.

Location unknown
Undiscovered,
Any ‘path’ is merely overgrown.
Uninhabited—
No beast has come close,
Everything is prey,
All is overgrown — waiting to decay

Location found
Unexplored,
Not barren, but certainly bare.
Untouched—
No man has come near,
Everything is sheltered.
The forest — tangled — paths still unclear.

Location found
First man on land,
Beautiful, hostile — likely to ensnare.
Surveyed—
We will become close.
She may be secluded,
But I am on course.

Helplessness and hopelessness drag me away
Between contentment and dissatisfaction I sway
Whatever is right is like enlightened dawn of day
For success of virtue we never ever need to pray

Let my friend take right path for our destination
Following right path takes us just to our salvation
Faith is the hallmark of a believer's sole determination
Sincerity is the part of my sweetheart love and passion

So let us see the results of virtue really with open eyes
A faithful heart never ever dies or in the process cries
Truth dominates to crush and vanish all the ***** lies
A righteous man has the courage and confidence to rise

Watch me defy the world
To make you smile,
If it means
You'll stay awhile.

I will defy
All odds
To let myself
Fly
With you.
