I hold you up so high, it’s like you could grasps the spangled stars that are in mere reach of you;
and I wonder why sometimes,
for I too deserve this divine view
when there is no balance, i'm better off on my own

Don’t be afraid to take a big step, you can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps. David Lloyd George

Chasm
The definition of chasm can come in two forms
1. A deep fissure in the earth, rock, or another surface.
2. A profound difference between people, viewpoints, feelings, etc.

Taking a big step is needed to cross both.
To get over both
and fetch for sanity.
To reach for the furthest branch
To take the leap
To jump and release.

Plummet towards the earth.
Lose all sense of reality
Master containing hope.
Just don’t let go of that rope.

Dangling from the tree of life
Channeling the strength to fight
No other human in sight.
Hindered by the gift of design.
Hindered by the thought of this lie.

Desperate to forge tonight
Hold my body up to the light.
This law we cant defy.  
Is this all we’re willing to try?

Success is found when one paves their own path,
And doesn't worry about others' wrath.
Success comes when you focus on the goal,
And climb your way out of any and all holes.

The thing is, though, we're all not in environments,
Where we have the opportunity to climb.
And that's why I'm suffocating,
While I try to make this life mine.

Unmask me if I dare impede
The character I am now is unchanged
This is knowledge of my own undertaking.
But there is something only you could see.

Dismantle me if I barricade
My feelings have no meaning
There is a blank expression on my face.
I move in time before I freeze.

Where do you find the courage,
Who provided you with the gall to say
"Oh dear, sweet hindrance"
Be released.

I let my emotions plague my soul.
I tend to use a tattered heart and tainted words,
watch it convert into poetry. 

Because poetry is not just words of the mind, but a message of being. 
A formation of subconscious memories from one human being to another. 

Poetry allows us to grow, to prosper. 
Sometimes, all you need to hear is a line that makes your heart stop. A reality check that stirs in motivation. 
However, a phrase could stop the heart, let walls break, the earth shake, and tear us into two. 

Poetry is a tool, to be used for better- or for worse- in order to ignite as all one. 

**Poetry is unity.
All I ask is that you keep in mind of who you are writing to.  Remember your audience, be cautious, but be bold. Influence those around you, but be weary of who you are intimating. Do your best to build others, not shake them.
Thank you.

I've found
That once you start
Digging your own grave
There are two types of people in this world

The ones who will help
Who will grab a shovel
And join the digging
Then give you a shove in
Once you're done

And the ones who will hinder
Who will steal and break your shovels
And shove dirt back in the hole
And when the time comes
They won't let you jump in

What is the point of living
When you have boundaries hindering on your way,
When freedom has been snatched away,
When your wings have been cut off
When you can't fly.

What is the point of living
When you have to hide
In your lonely burrow
When you can't keep your past aside,
Or move on to another direction,
When you fake happiness
Just live life with simple deception?

What is the point of living
When you don't go out to search
Search for happiness
'Cause it doesn't come to meet you
You have to reach it
It won't take you by the hand
And propose to you
You have to stop bending knees
In front of the gloom
And do the same to tranquility
For then your heart will bloom.

What is the point of living
When you die with that heavy weight in you?
It's better to start forgiving
Yourself
'Cause you've lived your past once
Don't let it ruin you
By thinking about it infinite times
Instead,
Just think about the future
Think about how the world will look like
When everything's changed
Think about how you will see life
With the eyes or your parents
Think about how twisted the path can be
When you continue to move on it
And how these twist have changed you
And how you won't regret it.
