I Reach out to You

My arm outstretched

My palm open

Trying to grab your hand

Would you take Me?

I'm not Perfect

I'm not Handsome

I'm not Rich

But I have Love

Would you take a chance on Me?

I'll treat you like a Queen

I'll show you how precious Life is

I'll prove my worth to You

Just Reach Out

And take my Hand

Will You Take a Chance?

Just One?
Everyone deserves a chance at Love. Just give someone a little bit of your time and you'll realize it's not all about the similarities between two people to know just how special someone can be to you.
i cant take it
all i think about is you
how you made me happy
how you made me  cry
how you made me sad
how you made me mad
how you made me feel  
our cute little conversation replay in my head
i see you every time i close my eyes  
i think about how you look, smile, laugh ,cry,
your always on my mind
i just want you to leave because your the one causing me not sleep

Take all the pain you have,
and imagine it as a balloon.

Any shape, any color
doesn't matter
You will be letting go of it soon.

Release the string
you hold onto so tightly.

Tell yourself,
I am worthy.
I don't need this anymore.
This doesn't belong here.

Let the Mantra be true to you.

Find the Courage
to Face the Fear.

You won't collapse
or disappear.

You will see nothing was lost.
but rather,
Your Power Returned Home.

When we surrender,
We take back what we Own.

Watch as the balloon floats up and away.
The pain will go,
and you will stay.

They grab a leg
and shake...
and shake.
They grab a arm,
because I don't-
feel the harm.
They grab my hair,
my fingers,
my toes,
my eyes,
my ears,
my heart,
my nose.
One by one
each piece goes.
Before I can breathe
they've stolen my breath.
They pick apart all I have,
and I ask,"is this death?"
Death so empty,
yet I feel peace when alone.
All those years I cried for someone,
but I feel so shaken;
so happy on my own.
Let my sharing freeze over,
that someday it plop and rot,
to see their grand expressions,
will they still care or will they not?
I've given all I have,
I've said goodbye to all I love.
They've looted me entirely,
do they yet have enough?

Life is a gamble
Being born is a gamble
A life isn't the only thing death takes
It takes a soul
It takes a tender, giving heart
It takes a beautiful body with a fragile frame
It takes the light and the dark
It takes a friend
It takes pieces of a family
It takes away from this world
It takes, and takes, and takes
But it never, ever gives back
Death bathes in greed.

I hate you
I hate how i want to chase you
I hate how you don't say thank you
you're a taker
I'm a giver
and forgiver
so you take
and you take
because I give and I give
and I wonder why I live
like this
considering you
when you always miss
what I do
or just see through
I need to get a clue
and see that it isn't new
your lack of gratitude
continue with your self-improvement
try some healthy attitudes
while you stomp on the only people
who care
I won't be here next time
when you need to share
your thoughts or feelings
I'll nod politely and listen here and there
but next time you need
to feed
your wants
YOUR desires
by something I have
I'll do as you do
and take
and say get a clue
while silently thinking *******

I've met so many with switches
I love them with all I have
I light them on fire, I cater to their
Every want, their every need, I
Polish them until they shine, I
Rewire them and untangle their crosses and label them so
Meticulously
And things get a little overloaded
A breaker trips and they read the
Labels and find my name
stare at me, analyze me, and then
Flip their switch
Shut it all down
And walk on

Across my eyes
                Black, sometimes red
    Through the phone lines
          Empty, words unsaid
          Powdered on glass aligned
    Exciting I find
                Into my home
Provide.
Looking for symmetry

you'll never know
what the light is like
if you hide in the dark
if you lurk in the shadows
if you wait for the right time
because the world keeps rotating
and time will keep on running
and no one will stop for you

you'll never know
what the world is like
if you stay inside your shell
not having courage to come out
and it will be your label
which you will take into your grave
a coward who hides behind comfort
who dares not take a risk

you'll never know
what you are capable of
if you don't open your eyes
and listen to the chirping birds
with your eyes shut and ears plugged
all you see and all you hear
is the nasty, disgusting voice
of the devil and his failures

you'll never know
about the world
and how to live
if you never try
and once you run out of time
regret will eat you alive
leaving you not even bones
like birds pecking through your flesh

and then at your last moments
then you'll realize
how pitiful your life was
not looking anything
oh, how blind had you been!
not listening anything
oh, how deaf had you been!
not doing anything
not trying anything
not living your life
oh, how dumb had you been!
if only...
you'll wish
if only had you been a little brave
and step out from the dark
oh, how little had you known

you'll never know
if regret would be your last emotion
if you don't take this chance
and soar beneath the shadows
you'll never know

wondering hopelessly
through an unknown place
of tragedy and despair

I cried
and begged
and screamed for help
but nobody was there

the tides
were persistent
and kept
dragging me down

I had fought
for so long
I was tired
and wanting to drown

the end
of the tunnel appeared
a black hole

the future
which was once
so bright
now seems so dull

as I was trudging
along I saw
a bright light

I started to follow it
and watched it
take fight

this light was
higher than me
and out
of my grasp

but it lowered
itself without
me having
to ask

it led me to
a place I did not know

a place where
it seemed
everything had
a perfect glow

the longer the
light stayed
the more faint
it became

I began to fear
that after
meeting me the light
would never be
the same

I took
and took as it
gave and
gave

Now I didn't think
I was the one
who need to
be saved

the light had already
shown me the way
but had become lost
on it's own path

the thought that I
had killed such
a beautiful thing caused
me such
internal wrath

I destroy
what I touch
and I blind
what I see

I wish there
was another person
I could call
me
