You made it right when you picked up the pieces that were shattered,
Phone calls made me realize,
Who would've known the smiles would hypnotize,
I never thought that I would win the prize,

Love.could.not.be so real,
Even When you fall down in the dumps,
it ain't no room for depression,
Heart for rent in this room staring at you no matter what I do.

Turned around and then slapped my face with no remorse,
I had enough trouble staring in those eyes,
you had the knife,
my back was the only thing in sight,
Injuring me was all smiles for you,

You made it right when you picked up the pieces that were shattered,

Phone calls made me realize,
those dial tones wasn't cool though,
My boys warned me that you were a ***,
No matter what I do in this situation , you'll still always be one of those.

A mountain climber went so high
His parka’s hat touched the sky
Up he went ‘til eyes obscured
By clouds above, so white and pure
Without his sight, but heart aflame
The mountain’s summit he wished to claim
Kept forging on, through the mist
And slipped and fell to sleep with bliss

I don't want a boy
who will dote on me like a princess.
I want a man
who will worship me like the goddess I am.
I want us to be equals in each other eyes
because I will treat him like he is my king.

I know he loves me,
That I am sure,
And when I’m sad,
He is my cure.

We talk and talk,
And time keeps going by,
And I know that when he sees a tear,
He’s sad to see me cry.

Swallowing me in a warm embrace,
I pray it never will end,
Because I know he loves me.....
As a friend.

Words
They elude me
They make me beg my brain
For access to my own vocabulary
When they seem to go missing
It feels like my inner dictionary
Is closed and on holiday

I wished to always have words to say
I wish I could always put down my thoughts
To be able to see what goes through my mind
To be able to decipher how far I've gone with seeming normal

I wished for words
And then they came
For days on end
It was like being possessed by a friend
The words never ceased
And yet contrary to my rationals
The ache in my heart never eased
The main goal was to rid myself of this disease
Slowly eating up the depths of my soul

I decided to move on from words
They didn't seem to be helping
So I prayed for actions
To be able to show how hurt I was
How dead I felt
And to prevent another from drowning
In this mud pit that wouldn't let go

It worked
I found a stranger
With an inner struggle
He made a move
To trust me
I made a move
To care
And so we forged a friendship
And saved ourselves from death.
Yikes! A long one. Thank you for taking out the time to read this. Your opinion would be deeply appreciated.

Another approach
Same strategies
Same chain of command
Different authorities
A mesmerizing complex structure;
Circumventing individual responsibilities.

How can we strive?
How can we grow?
Every being as important as the next;
For the success of a mission years away from fulfilment.

Everyone has a part to play
Every part must be played fully
Or else stagnancy is well around the corner.

For development,
The team must be strong.
They must be together.
They must have the same goals,
Or everything crumbles.
Thank you for reading ♥

raised to believe stagnation is a death
to stay still even in safety is a *****
never to be content with good enough
even when good enough is your best
never to take a rest
because to rest is a *****
that they say I am always falling down
there is always something to reach
“but dont you dare reach for what you love”

this is a loveless cruel thing
to never rest is to reach the end
before you’ve done anything at all
rest is not a stand still
but a chance to grow in a different way
and to reach for something you dont love
is a mocking insult to your heart and soul
that I will take no part of

Can we be happy,
if we are merely driven by
our goals and ambitions,
but we do not live in the present.

Life is like a magic cube
Think, try and turn
It takes a lot of time to solve a puzzle
But by every attempt we make
Let us take a step closer to our goals.
