Breathe when you feel like giving up.
Whatever the problem is, it will not go away by breathing.
Breathing will not make the pain leave.
But breathing will remind you that you are ALIVE
and you can get past this.
Breathing will remind you that someone is breathing
with you, and in the end,
if you stop breathing so will they.
Blood will always stop running from
a wound but the scar will always remain.
Look at the scar, remember why and how you got it.
Most importantly breathe and remember that no matter what,
YOU survived.
I wrote this during a dark time in my life and I hope it inspires others.
Working for my dream, I started to forget what I'm working for and what I'm fighting for.

Think about the place you see every day
Then take a vacation from it and you will miss it
Then you meet the place again, but you won’t stay
You don’t think it seems to fit

Suddenly, all the bad things that happened to you through the years comes back
It is a nightmare, a reminder to you
Your history, it all strikes again
Thousands of slaps in your face
And nobody cares
Because it’s history, it’s in the past
“Just move on” they say “it’s easy”
You cry
It’s not your fault if some people ruined your life, but don’t give up because then they won

They say things change.
And that's absolutely true.
Money. Entertainment.
Clothes and shoes.
But the thing is, none of that matters
Unless people change.
The same people are still screamin,
Still fighting for the same reasons.
We've built a world where words
Have as much power as angels
And demons.
I'll be the first to admit. I have no idea where to start.
But we need to change now
Before we drift even further apart.
I know you have a life
And i'll always respect your choices
But let me be
Let me be miserable in your absence,
Let me find happiness in your smile,
Let me drown in your thoughts,
Let me wait for the impossible.
So when the time comes to let you go,
I can say "i tried".
Just let me try to live with less regrets

There ain't nothing wrong
with fighting, son.

It scares the children, sure,
but so, too, would anything
we try to shield them from.

Fighting fortifies the lively
as much as it destroys
the ignorant and apathetic.

Therefore protect your mind
against those poisons, and
purge them from others
when necessary.

The sound of the raindrops coming down from the sky calms down my mind
I've been fighting alot with my parents, lucky the rain calmed my anger a bit.

I beg on my knees
For people to stay
The people I want to stay the most
Are the ones I am better without
Please don't go
Is what I have said to people I thought were my forever
Please don't break my heart
I am done begging
For the attention, you don't want to give
Don't give me hope
I give 100 percent to people
Make time for them
Comfort them
But who's there when life hits me
I have my amazing family
But I only want to tell them so much
Music is key
Writing poetry is great
It's words that you truly feel
It ***** when everything around you is great
But mentally you feel off
I feel broken
Even though you could look at my life
And say what does she have to be sad about
I wish I knew why I feel so sad
I'm tired
Nothing really interests me anymore
The things I once loved I don't anymore
I am going to bring back that happy girl
She is somewhere
I will fight to be happy again
There will be no more confusion with my tiredness and sadness
