entire trips around the sun
making sense of the cents of a quarter
of years of growth and fighting fear
here's to another year

of complex thoughts and simple pleasures
finding more of myself and experiential treasures
to new all new things people and places
and never forgetting friendly faces

May I continue to realize and act on the fact
that only I'm in the way of my impact
Don't ever settle and always strive
to make things better and be alive

This life is mine to do, to create, to find the most of
because why the **** not?

you gave meaning to the songs on the radio.
making your favorite song be my jam.
you made those simple city lights glitter
though i haven't seen you all my life,

we wasted time wishing
we wasted time talking
yet you gave me lessons i couldn't forget
and you became a mistake i wouldn't regret.

you somehow made me the person who i am today
you somehow became the reason to wake up everyday

to wake up and hope for a better day,
gave me reason to smile even you're the one who got away.

from a far there are moments we almost have met
but yet you just destined, it's just not that moment yet.

we kept and wished for every day...
you said you almost loved me...
but you went away

thank you for walking away when i finally wanted you
thank you for leaving when i needed you.

thank you for letting me realize and have him do your job.
he does it the best by the way. Now, it is him that i love.

you got cash and maybe a stash
you told me you were broke
do you enjoy looking into my eyes
telling me lies while gripping my thigh
do you ever wonder what I feel
internally broke .
every time I write it has meaning, and can be full of emotions and sometimes the past of worst memories - lia
Someone asked me, "Why do people trust so much?"
I answered..
Someone is still believing
That a pinch of honesty
Can change the taste of everything.
But Honey, the world is so cruel
It tries everything to break you
Pushes you to the edge
Falls hard..into tiny little pieces
Then get left behind.
So instead of that question, ask this
**"Is someone worthy enough to trust?"

I stand against the rain,
the pain

it stings against my body

until I feel numb — and I didn't even realize that I began to *shatter
She knew in her heart where she belonged
And it wasn't with a wolf,
or a ghost from her past
She belonged to the one who would never do her harm.
The wolf may be enticing and warm and inspiring
And the ghost may be exciting, unruly and inviting
But her heart beats softer to the hum of his love
Than for anyone else,
in hell or above.

I don't want you to regret losing me.
I don't want you to regret anything that
is associated with me being gone.

Because I never did at the act of meeting you, and even more at the act of loving you, of keeping everything about you next to my heartbeat.

You didn't lose me.
I didn't lose you.

We both got nothing to lose because between you and me there was nothing.

But I did lose something, though.
Me."

You've got your head in the clouds.
Your slowing drowning out.
You've spent you're life time stuck in a bubble to conform.
You've been forced to spend the entire time being silenced.
Being shut up, for the hell whom?
Who can know your story if you always shut up and keep quite.
Perfect, you want to be perfect?
Sweetheart you seen a robot I'm sorry to break it to you.
You have feelings treat them as gold.
You know what life feels like. Take that as you're treasure.
Why be stuck in a constant circle of being tossed around but thinking you aren't good enough cause you are actually human. You aren't perfect? No you haven't sold out to the society game. Don't be 'perfect', your wonderful,why become so fearful?
Each person on this world is another stroke of paint on the canvas, we mix well with some,and some just become runny and run through you.
So now, does a butterfly stay in one place for its entire life? Or does it show its color everywhere?-Lovey

Today I realized that all bodies are beautiful and strong because they have the power to transport our souls.

what a feeling; when everything adds up.
when the fog clears and you see where you stand.
when the lights come on at the club and you see everyones face.
when you open your mcdonalds bag to find the wrong order.
when you get that test back and you got a C
when you order sprite and it ends up being water
when i jump in the ocean and its still a couple weeks early
when you realize youre not enough for someone, but you could be everything to someone new
