Life's not gonna wait for you.
So tell me, what are you waiting for?
If you want to chase your dreams,
Pick yourself up off the floor.
The frustration and fear bringing tears to your eyes
Will give you the strength to get what you want.
Just keep your eyes on the prize.
We've all got things we want to do
But let our heads fill with doubt
The trick is to listen to your heart and drown all the other voices out.
What you do with your time is something only you can choose.
But even if you fall, tell me what you have to lose.

When I love, I love hard.
For years and years.
Full of false hope,
And full of tears.
I get attached,
Maybe obsessed.
I lose my mind,
I get distressed.
And I doubt,
You feel the same.
I don't even know,
If you remember my name.
Since we've met, seven.
Since we've spoke, two.
I'm so sorry my love
Happens to be you.

Let the corona go away
And I shall meet you back and forth
With more of temptation to be explored!

May the corona go away
And I shall kiss and **** you
With all the bite marks to go along

Let the corona go away
And I might get inside you!
With no where to be out!
With all the corona virus and countries shut down, let me inside homes and maintain social distancing as much as possible.

Everything can wait till the situation goes back to normal. Let be patient and stay safe.

Is it weird that I knew?
The very second I saw you...
From my heart that ran a mile,
To my big, bright smile.

I knew I was crushing
When my cheeks began blushing.
And my brothers, they would tease.
That around you, my heart wasn't at ease.

My knees would shake and shatter,
As I began incessant chatter.
And I sneaked a nervous laugh,
That split me right in half.

I knew you were the one,
Together we had so much fun.
For years I've liked you still,
And I'll wait more, I will.

I've never told you how I felt,
If I did my heart would melt.
So I wait for you to see,
That you're the one for me.

I daydream every day
That someday you will say,
"I like you, I have all along."
But my imagination's wrong.
Not my best poem, but it's from a few years ago about a long-time crush...

Your smile sends a shiver
All along my spine.
It ripples like a river,
And makes me believe you're mine.

Your humor shakes a mountain,
Even earth you can make laugh.
Jokes flowing like a fountain,
And splits me right in half.

You're charming, oh so charming,
As you stare into my soul.
Your kindness is alarming,
As you sew me back to whole.

You act as though we're fate,
But you never say.
Nor do I, for I wait,
Day after day.
As a hunter would wait
And watch from far away,
He always knew he have to work silently
To get his hand on his prey,
In the time he would keep
Himself hidden in green,
He would scheme and plan
Before he takes his aim,
Hear and sense, and dont just trust
Be a like hunter and dont fall for bait,
The vicinity is vitiate
Its full of foul intent,
If you don't stay alert you would fall like icarus,
See the world as facade
And keep conscience sharp as blade,
Depict yourself sagacious
And slain judas without lament.

I sit, my mind empty.
My thoughts flew away.
Carried with the wind,
And forced me to stay.

On an adventure.
Leaving me behind.
Past the mountains, through the seas,
To see what they can find.

Taking inspiration.
Soaring with it, fast.
Bringing me ideas,
Tight within its grasp.

But for now, I wait.
While my thoughts fly free.
Waiting for the ideas,
They will bring to me.

Truth or dare, dare, always dare, truth be known

observational bias confirmation and cognotible gnosis snot

dripping into a realm after logos, it's

complicated con carne and

more layers of logical

thought, all sifted and sorted, so here

we find no reason for war... and no fear of dying.

How freeing...

we are near in aptitude to our fathers who were wage slaves

the rest remaining is ours and mr. hicks's peace on earth.
this is that bubble of being.
As it evolved from the peaceful kingdom over and over,
infolding the american dream to this
on a more galactic scale.

Out there,

don't disturb the true
heirs of the wind, in the end.
Is free will determined to make a fool of me?

I was waiting for my heart to ache again
So I could put it into words
So I simply recalled you face again
And needed no further efforts.

I was waiting for my heart to ache again
So I could bleed out on the paper
Some things I know I'll never say out loud
In these yellow pages, they will sleep safer.

How can you feel again in this place?
The heater's working, but we lost the warmth
The living room has a visitor, but he's dead inside
Door's unlocked, waiting for someone to come back
Bedroom is a graveyard for a broken heart at night
Television shows past memories and static
The floor's slippery, and love slipped away just now
But mom and dad told me to try being happy because
I can still take a bath in my regrets in the bathroom and
There's still a roof on a lonely and sad man like me
Also, I can still afford to eat and cry and try to live by
But I lost what is important, what makes concrete worth it
I lost you, I lost her, I lost the sweet embrace of my home
