READ BETWEEN THE LINES
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
SEE THE COLORS THAT DON'T EXIST

IF YOU CAN MAKE A FIST THEN YOU CAN FIGHT
DEATH WITH APPLAUSE & YOU KNOW ITS RIGHT
CLOUDS FILL THE AIR & I'M LOSING SITE
OF WHATS REALLY REAL & WHATS WRONG OR RIGHT

BROKEN TELEVISION
WITH MY REFLECTION ON THE SCREEN
CLEANSE YOUR INNER VISION
FILL THE SPACES IN BETWEEN

EXPAND REALITY
THEY BLIND FOLD YOU SO YOU CANT SEE
ITS SUCH HYPOCRISY
THEY PUSH IT ALL ON YOU AND ME

IF YOU CAN MAKE A FIST THEN YOU CAN FIGHT
DEATH WITH APPLAUSE & YOU KNOW ITS RIGHT
CLOUDS FILL THE AIR & I'M LOSING SITE
OF WHATS REALLY REAL & WHATS WRONG OR RIGHT

What do you do* when you've lost your purpose?
Stay hidden behind closed doors or rise to the surface?
What do you do when you've given everything and all?
Give up and fail or do you stand up to redeem your fall?
What do you do when you have lost more than your heart?
Put up your walls and stay alone or open up to a new start?

Either choice is always yours to make
My advice is to try again and make a few mistakes
Don't let this world turn you dark and fake
Stand up for what you believe in at all stakes
Ignore the negativity and rise to your fate
Again, what do you do when the world turns blank??


The Choice  *is always yours, my friend.
I'm gonna find my purpose again
Untitled Apr 2016
My dreams are full
Of open windows
Fluttering curtains
And a cool, peaceful night sky
the best place for an end

Does it ever cross your mind? The thought of losing me, I mean. Does it sting like fire ants? Painful but not serious.

I don't know when or how the butterflies in my stomach turned to wasps, stinging the muscles, making it sore and burn but I swear at one point, we were the most beautiful human chromosomes paired....

or was it always an option? Leaving me, I mean.

Leave sloppy kisses on my cheek,
but please do not leave me.
Leave crumbs on my desk,
but do not leave me hungry for conversation.
Leave my arms wanting more,
but do not let yours be strangers.
Leave the door to your heart open,
and let me take leave from every other.

This is me,
Looking for you in a dimly lit bar
Only to find you
Forehead pressed to another nameless girl.
This is what love looks like to me.
To aid and abet,
To give you the freedom you crave
Which does not come with the restraints of commitment.

This is what love looks like to me.
Giving all that I possibly can
And trying not to take too much from you.
Letting you do and say what you like
Being your accomplice, your friend
And never judging you.

But you make it so difficult sometimes.
When you say that you'll look for me,
But instead you're dancing with another.
When you say you're excited to be with me,
Then you sleep next to someone else.
When you tell me you'd do anything for me,
But then you forget me and our plans
At the earliest convenience.

I love you.
I would and do give everything I can to you.
But this act, these consequences,
Your point of view.
It all has me skewed. Diluted. Drained.
Done.

And I'm not sure really where to go from here.
Cancelled plans for a party, and yet again I'm sleeping alone. What about what I want?

and as i let me palms ease open and you fly away to whatever planet youre off to again, i find a part of me running back. cart wheeling and dancing and screaming i've always loved you and you were always more than what you settled for. i've found a part of myself that cant contain its excitement to start new, to start fresh, to be whoever the **** i want to be. to kiss a stranger to have a lover who actually would fall in love with all my little flaws and mistakes and not silently criticize anything that floated in my brain. welcome home happiness, goodmorning freedom.

Writing is hard, expression gets lost. I'll do my best to share my thoughts.

A closed book i am, a neat and tidy cover. Intriguing to most, all looking to discover.

Pick me up and peek inside, you see what you need, without any lies.

Some see a shiny cover, turn quickly away, thinking it's not possible... Their is no way.

Inviting to all to share what i have, each person decides weather they take a stab.

Most not able, to get to page one, quickly deciding 'meh im done'.

Some can turn pages, even see a few jokes. Most are not able, to see what matters most.

Looking inside, many faced with blank pages, what some people write is often outrageous.

A very small number, we'll say... a select few. See past the graffiti, but still can't see whats true.

Rarely and painful, real connection walks by. They could see the real me, if only they try.

More often, but also quite rare. Blank pages are seen. Left with an empty stare, wondering 'what does it mean?'.

Some write a chapter, some maybe three. Writing in what they think, should make me happy.

Some things written, great gifts they be. I even would say, i enjoy them greatly.

Seeing only blank pages, not stopping to think. Soon the day comes, they run out of ink.

Ink tank empty, all fun is gone. My blank pages begin to fall, one by one.

Return they may, startled to see. No blank pages are left. Only grafiti.

How many? Not sure, perhaps only one. As i see it, likely there's none.

Referring of course, to any someone; able to read my real person.

Beautiful writing, without graffiti. Pages filled with my amazing story.

Page by page I'm filled. No explanation needed, able to perceive.

Honest and real a connection so strong. Together we feel, any possible wrong.

Words are lost, no meaning to us. We bounce off each other's pure trust.

Keeping up with ease, no need to look back. Unconditionally accepting, bound by this track.

Incredible stories, written synchronously. Only hoping this done, pure and honestly.

Emotions can't hide, or be fabricated. I feel as you feel, so who are you trying to kid.

Finding yourself opening me, no blank pages left, and nothing to read? Our story has ended, I long to be freed.

Sad this can be, even lonely at first. Smile knowing you wrote that final verse.

An amazing book from cover to cover. Trapped, now waiting, for the next to discover.

What is to come is all up to you. Careful at best, you're able to thumb through. Left with a book, not able to read.

Never actually able, to see pure and be true. Decide what you will, chose what you'll do.

Now turning away at my every sight. Why do you continue this fight?

A magnificent book, now trapped on your shelf. Soon even I will lose sight of myself.

You open my book, you chose what to see. Great chapters were written, now I need to be free.
