To that destination
Where your wish is
Genre: Inspirational
Theme: Wonder Lost
JL Smith Oct 2018
You ask me why I go
Because no one's requested that I stay
You wonder why I run
Because I've grown exhausted of this place

You think you know my heart,
But it's still searching for its home
You attempt to negotiate,
But this soul already roams

You dream I follow yours
Yet, they consist of sleep
While mine encourage growth
Your story reads as fiction
While I live mine under oath

Maybe in those moments
When you're reminded of me
Your heart strongly feels mine
Longing for the love I need

The saying
The old saying goes
Whatever cleanses your soul
Do it
But what if trying to get there
You find yourself
Burried under bricks
And countless number of
Screws found loose under your pillow
And sorrys that never get too sad
Incase you didnt notice
And goodbyes that carry no weight because you never truly
Leave anyone
Speechless
Or
Or
The old nylon sheets
That creep under the opening
Of black tongues taunting
And whisper making
Again and again
You taunt me
Remembering all the old
You lost me
You really did lose me
I lost you
I really did loose you
And with no regret on your end
That i can find
And only
Stuck unhappy
And on fire
With noone to call on
Between manic and depressed
No one to stare at
So it took this test
To arrive at
This place I call Destiny
Still unsure
Of whats left of me
Knowing the End
Is just the beginning
And I can fly to new heights
If i choose too
But i really dont want to give
up on losing you
I said
The old saying goes
What leaves will come back
And what stays is
Old and dead anyways
Did you fly from me
Cuz you're so far ahead
I can't even see
And your rocky stash
Of pillows ive awoken to
Has preformed
Magic many times before
You're just not at the door
And i don't think I can make it
Without your sword
Can I borrow it?
I'll give it back in just
A little bit
you see I'm going into battle again
With these demons and my monsters
With another woman
And the old saying goes
News is what bought her back
The end .

Calm my heart
And steady these hands
Grant peace among my distress
As the evening moon
Cools desert sands
Ease my frustration
As I rely heavily on faith
I trust in your promises
As droughts await your rain

To be happy is
Essential

Get good reasons to
Initiate
Or, let me
Help you
Genre: Inspirational
Theme: On Mental Health
Note:At the end of the day, just for a while, try to count how many times you smiled. It feels great to see happy faces whatever the reason is. Remember there is someone who cares your happiness.

Your feet drift from foundation
Your eyes instinctively close
Your stomach somersaults
Your heart, momentarily froze

Your eyes begin to open
Engrossed by the beauty of our globe
You've overcome your fear

Spread your wings,
Enjoy the show

I faced one of my fears and did it... I jumped out of a plane! Don't ever allow fear to control you. You are capable of achieving whatever you desire. Just DO IT!

By Arcassin Burnham

What do you truly inspire,
buildings caught on fire,
looking for a purpose in this life but it'll just expire,
sitting here in all 50 states that's corrupted and dire,
telling you these products will help you , they're a bunch of liars,
other countries dying for the truth and hope that they've lost,
encountering villains with no faces , do they have a boss?
if your black , they have plans for you to die and get tossed,
try to sway the weak and break the strong , pray you don't get soft.

Dark clouds,
heavy rain.
A word-
called-
waiting.
JL Smith Oct 2018
If you tell me you fear heights,
I'll climb your highest mountains

If you tell me you fear water,
I'll sail your deepest oceans

Share with me your secrets,
I promise I won't tell them

If you admit that you feel broken,
I'll reassure you, your heart is golden

And if you fear to love again,
I'll show you that it's worth it
