I'm like a teachers pet except what I learn I regret
Eager to be the best but stressed when it comes to the test
I'd rather lay down mindful practicing in my head
Then to lay down mindless depressed as s__t in my bed

just a couple bars :)

complex heart

At times not  sure  what to write
Too much pain in my heart
I wish i knew what to say
I am  so torn inside and out
My  soul says to keep battle  alive
Going over this wall
Remove negative  thoughts
Bring  in hope  as i scream
But no one hears me
Take my mask  as i grow
Fill my heart with love
As  this tree  grows

Y o u

please don't go
I was just getting used to you
simplicity and organic just isn't what I'm used to
it was so perfect not to worry about
when, where, or why
we just let it happen, no need to check time
I know you have to do this
and no looking back
I won't hold you captive, there's no sense in that
Just promise me this:
you'll never forget me
because you were the one who taught me to be me

Just when I thought I finally figured out romance...
I did learn a lot but just not enough, I'll have to trust God and just let it go.

The Game.

What is the point of a game?
Ask yourself
To win? To have fun? No point at all?

We all play the game
Simply for different choices
Without a choice, we must play.

Press start
Take 18 to 21 minutes to learn how to play
Maybe less
You might give up before 18
Sad right? It happens.

Tutorial ends, time to play

Take the next 60 minutes to actually play
Maybe less
Again, some may give up before the end
Maybe the power cuts off
Forced to stop playing

Game ends, how'd you play?
Did you try to earn the most money?
Did you play and just have fun?
Did you spend it teaching other people how to play?

I just finished learning how to play,
I choose to have fun and enjoy the game.
How do you want to play the game we call life?

I've always lived life thinking I had to go to school, get a degree and work a 9 to 5. The idea never made me happy. In my life I want, happy memories, minimal regrets, and a thousand stories. Regardless of how short its cut. Now im making a career in MMA which makes me happy.

By His Grace

By His grace,
            I have lived a life full of contentment.
By His grace,
            I have climbed the steepest mountains.
By His grace,
            I have learned what eternal love is.
I have felt the sun and its warmth,
I have felt the rain and its ice cold pain,
But by His grace,
            I made it through.

embers

The sound of your voice,
Ignites a fire within me.
Gorgeous, dancing flames,
Replace the darkness inside my body,
With light.

Suddenly, I wince with pain.
The light falters,
As the realization hits:
My innards are being scorched.

At first, the flames displayed such beauty,
And blindingly dazzled.
I took no notice of the slow burning,
Charring my innocence.

Silencing you,
Was the only way to put out the fire,
And slowly begin to heal.

Robbing you of your voice,
Means eliminating your existence,
To me.

Inspiration

sometimes i
think that my
mind
brought me to
the brink of
death
just to
show
me that
i can write
really good poetry

sadness inspired me

Live & Learn

I grew up and realized my childhood was a lie
At age 8, I found out magic wasn't real
My beloved Christmas presents weren't from a fat man with a white beard who loved milk and cookies
At age 12, I found out friendship is hard to come by
The transition from elementary to middle school was horrible and I was left with my "friends" acting like they didn't even know me
At age 14, I found out love wasn't like it is in fantasies
Boys will say they love you but ironically they don't mean it. And they'll make promises that mean nothing to them
At age 15, I found out alcohol and drugs were addictive like people said
Alcohol made me forget about my problems as it ran through my body and drugs made me escape as they filled my system
At age 16, I found out that family isn't forever
My dad cheated on my mom and made her feel worthless, like she had been in the wrong. And soon they'll be divorced. My stupid self thought vows lasted a lifetime
At age 17, I found out that life is a blessing
We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow or even in the next hour. But I've learned to love life and all of its good and bad days. We only live this life once and I want to experience it in its entirety
I grew up and realized that life is an adventure and we should make the most of it

Respire

Respire,
I'm made of Fire.
From the soul
To the flesh.

Then In turn the soil,
Any who breath leave -
A timer, we're set to spoil.
So I won't walk with hesitation.

I'll live life without reservation,
Follow the brick road I chose.
My life's mine not a Gamble
Neither a game i can't lose.

If I chose right
Turn to what's good,
Turn to the light
I won't bruise.

But past hurt
And present optimism fuse.
The futures bright
But only if fate and ourselves
Choose right.

Burn and burn brighter
Learn and become a fighter.

Fire,
Life's Fury fueled
From respiration.
Live and don't burn out
Before expiration.

"Fire in Your Breath"
Couldn't choose a title...

"Shay with an 'e'."

The room went quite quiet for what seemed like 3 hours.
3 minutes had never seemed so long.

It was harsh, unromantic and plain coward,
The walk down the steps had never seemed so wrong.

It was eyes strained and fixated on me, it was loud music
a big door but a small key.

It was questions the next morning and answers by night.
It was disgust and distrust
It was my fears on the cusp
It was 'forget, forget forget', but remember denied just that.

It was mistakes I want to take back.
It was me that did just that.
