The fireflies lie in their graves,
immortalized for their glories
that paved the path for the tired
souls that yearned to live, wired
to the immaculate truth of life
and to take one's soul off the knife.
As we take our first breath
We are handed a tool
Given to us by the creator of the universe

It never leaves our hand
Although we cannot see it
Or feel it
We can sense it

Some are meant to change people
Into better or worse humans

Some are meant to carve the world
Into the place we love or hate

Some are meant to give us hope
Which without we would fall

Some are meant to teach us
What we would never know, other-wise

Some are meant to strengthen us
To become who we really are

Some are meant to save us
Before we disappear

And some are meant to destroy
The better humans we are
The world we love
The hope we stand upon
The knowledge we know
And the strength we lean on

Which tool is in your grasp?

you ever wish you could click erase
press restart
to help yourself
move forward in life
without feeling like you’ve left something
far behind you
but to live in the past
is to never experience the present
even with all the opportunities in the world
i would trade
myself
in exchange for being nonexistent
never mentioned
never accepted.

If the world was to end,
Would you stay with me? Would you laugh with me? Would you cry with me?
We will all die one day, we can enjoy our time together, or we can sit and wait for it to fall.
Maybe we can save the world!
It would be simple, all we would have to do is Love. You may wonder how that could change anything. Well it has the power to change the galaxy. Love has the power to take away breaths,
Love can bring life back.
When you are down and sad it can make you smile with the biggest heart you could imagine. Whenever you smile it puts my heart into a leap of Love.
I enter a world where nothing matters, it is a place I would Love to live in with you.
The politics of the world would never  be a thought when we are together.
So do you believe me when I say we can save the world?
Because our Love is my world.
And if the world ended, I would be lost, I would have no home.
I need you not because I simply Love you. I need you, because you can save me,
you can save my world.
There is no pressure in this world, because we always have each other's backs.
Through all the hate in the world, our Love would slice through it, our worlds would become one, and nothing could stop that Love from ever dying.
Only thing that would matter is our Love and the world we made from it.

We are the same being
different bodies and shape
different species
it is the same
but alive in this moment
same part of ecosystem
how do you **** a life
same pain as mine
is it so easy
would you **** me too,
but you are killing me
all the same

I must confess, that the world is a mess
but it's not to gone to save
it will take time, but with that in mind
how did it get so ”grave”
the people concerned, are the people who learned
what's wrong and will help make it right
it will be rather stark, as the mess is quite dark
but together, we can turn it to bright.....

Growing up
means realizing
that sometimes
you hurt others
unintentionally
in an attempt
to save yourself
from that first
-elixir- Jul 2020
The tears keep rolling
down as mind
sabotages my joy.
I drown into the
pools of inky fear
to save what is
left of my mind.
sometimes you just let go of what troubles you and save what is left. Find happiness in that what is left. Sometimes your mind can be your worst enemy that ever existed; who sabotages your every action to be happy.
