Why should I write?
Many reasons present themselves.

To not end my life,
Prove that I’m not good,
Release of emotion
To refrain from bleeding

But now,

I write to love
And show this love
To that unwatching eye.
I think... yeah, that title was the phrase I was looking for. In a way it is the opposite side of the same coin with an ultimatum. Think about that for a bit.

No legend needs
February air
To confess
What they mean

Twice upon a time
If they ask
The same
"Single?"
"Are you single?"
Just for once

"No"
"I am divine."

Theme: I don't belong here.

I am the mystery that hides in the light
I am your vision, your sight at night
I am the reason you shine so bright
I am the creativity bonded to your soul,
I am the goal,away from your ghoul
I am poetry,the reason you're whole

"Positive attitude must be backed by a reason not the result."
It must be based upon your action not the result.

I guess there is a reason for the pain I constantly feel
Meaning in the length of time it takes for me to heal
I may not see it now but in time I'm sure I will
It's all part of the prophecy I must fulfill
The tearful nights spent debilitated by heartache
At moments seemed like too much for me to take
But I held on through the worst of despair
And now I use those memories to inspire and share
Maybe my story lets others know that they are not alone
When they are sad, angry, or cut down to the bone
Because I've suffered yet I am still standing here today
As proof that the misery will eventually go away
So all the sorrow I endure on pages I spread
And turn my trauma into something beautiful instead
And one day this pain in my chest will grow into something so beautiful

All one needs
Is to take it
Like a pill

So you want to move
Then, step
So you want to grow
Then, thrive
So you want to dream
Then, sleep
So you want to smile
Then, smirk
So you want to cry
Then, sob
So you want to live
Then, hold on
Feel and sense

Repeat the chain

Why
You ache due to the most familiar paths
Known well to feet
And even more so etched in memory

More of the same
More of the same
More of the same. More of the same. More of the same. More of the same. More of the same. More of the same. More of the same. More of the same. More of the same. More of the same... Oh Joy.

sadness took my hand
and refused to let go.
I couldn't stop shivering,
and she was the reason why.
I acknowledged her words
then told her, "it's not you, it's me,"
let go of her hand, and felt warm again.

In that way

If you happen
Art happens
And the rest is history
Nothing
And everything
At once
It makes
That difference
Reason to believe
Naive silence

That you are

I looked into your eyes and I saw the future.
You sparkled of joy and happiness and,
Everything that I wanted from life was here,

But suddenly soon it had dissappeared,
Memories and love had cleared,
When love itself had ceased to appear,
I knew right then that pain was near,

You'd look into MY EYES and say,
That you were happy nothing's changed,
But nothing wasn't nothing dear,
Nothing then was something to fear,

But I was caught up and deeper I dug,
Between all of the kisses and hugs,
My love for you was my only drug,
The only song I'd ever sung,

Soon I began to notice the distance,
At the stop signs, no longer kisses,
Nothing had changed of whom I adored,
Were you the risk and not the reward?

The next part happened all too fast,
When into depression my mind relapsed,
When I couldn't remember who I was,
Any of the reasons why or because,

You left me stranded oh so alone,
This house stopped feeling like a home,
You only loved me at convenience to you,
So now I wonder, was any of it true?
