Think positive

                   Have you learned nothing about      
                   me?


Have you learned nothing of me?

                      -.-

Fire with fire... Questions with questions

                     Smoke with ashes, I'll smother
                       you -.-


After nine lashes, you've nothing better to do?

                      Before your funeral, you've got
                      nothing better to say?


Inhibitions compensated, though so futile. Bury yourself beneath your yesterdays.

                      Trial and error, yet so naive.
                       Through your mistakes and
                       heartaches, you still
                       overcompensate.


Smiling through tears, and tearing through smiles? What do you fear--everything prior, or just one more trial?

                       Been crying through the pain
                        for far too long. I fear...
                       Simply everything, to avoid
                      the hurt, why is that so wrong?


Not wrong, but you hold doubt where hope belongs. Don't wallow in the dirt, or hold on to this morning's dawn.

                       But where I should see hope,
                       there's only despair. I'm not
                       wallowing, simply realistic. It's
                       really not fair, to assume I'm
                       being over dramatic.


Learn to cope when people are unfair. Try hallowing what you know's simplistic. There's much in the air, besides the cruelness of fanatics.

                          But the evil is overwhelming,
                           it truly surrounds me, in my
                          mind and my heart.
                          Sometimes, I can't help but
                         fall apart...


When the Devil is swelling, his doings unruly, and it all mounts on you, know there is kindness. Just part with the bad times and take the goodness to heart.
Just a typical conversation between me and Frank. :)
Thought we'd share.
You decide
What you want to achieve
What you want to love
What you want to dream

You choose
Who you want to be
Who you look up to
Who you have in your life

You determine
How you think
How you feel
How you live

You establish who you are
You control your own life
Embrace yourself
And have the courage to exist
Carte blanche - noun \ˈkärt-ˈbläⁿsh, -ˈblänch\
"Permission to do something in any way you choose to do it"
You are but a little bug
Lost in this vast garden
But if you were to disappear
How would the flowers grow?
This has been running through my head for the past few days. Thought I'd share.

You have the soul of a lion
Buried deep beneath lessons
Of inferiority and knowing your place
They've told you where you belong
How you're meant to be
But they're wrong

Deep inside you is a predator
Itching for you to see
See the fire in your eyes
Or feel the sharpness of your teeth and tongue
You may not have the mane you want
But you have a mane of fire
Burning from your soul
Pushing free from your skin

No man can stand a lion
You are more powerful than your body
More important than their words
You're the king of the Savannah
And the king of your heart
All you need to do
Is find your roar
This is very subtly transgender themed but yea thats what its technically about

Out of the void I lay silent!
Out of my mouth come words of the mindful
Returning to love, this time not blinded
Happy to be free, she helped to remind me

Love yourself

Stay balanced and well fed
Stay beautiful and well kept
Nurture your own flower and learn to accept
The smiles and cries of life and death!

Love yourself

We can keep running into walls and falling off cliffs
We can jump off of waterfalls
And cease to exist

Or we can love ourselves and plan on receiving gifts
Take one day at a time with a blessing and a kiss

Love yourself

Learn to hold each other in times of need learn to feed the fire under our feet
Learn to love one another and teach each other peace
Forget about the struggle and share our sweets

We can be ONE
We CAN do this
It's our time to run things
It's our time to uplift
It's our chance at succession
This chance is our GIFT

It's time to love ourselves lets never forget! To get with it!

This is for the poet that never wrote.
On the day he shared, the poet gifted a quote

Inspire the creative.
Words to change the world

A blanket to the newborn
a chalice to the gods
A sacred sword and a magical wand
the poet ventured out on a quest to heal the mind
Never to forget where he started the poet became lost in time!

Using symbols and characters as he displays his  love and frustration
Lust, lies, trust, light and aggravation
Everything seems to be changing
A constant spiral of life the poet is claiming
The ups and downs never go away and it's his last chance at salvation

What's the poet to do..

Well he obtains anything he can to prove things different!
Taking time out of his day to prove YOU ARE GIFTED
Leaving the poet to ponder why only some have shifted and others are covered still with a veil of I don't know forgetfulness!

Releasing a gift to the world is like when the sun rises and the plants wake up

The poet understands this and on a Day to day his mission is to gift and give up

Gift a new way of thinking, gift a new way to heal, gift a gift just to keep giving, delivering only what's real

We are all poets we are all givers and we are all the same
As different as we all look the option to create is just as easy to gain.
The bird builds it's own nest right
Why can't the world make a change
This is my first time ever sharing my poetry like this please let me know what you think and feel... Tips how to write deeper I have no idea what I sound like
