(Sonnet) If I should die with a shunted echo hear me, Lost fabled one, my paltry heart the snows, The warmth rides of the chiding winter sun, The melody and rustling in cantata leaves, Whose strings of one, plaintive guitar, strung By breaths birthing breaks, your tracing lips, White birds, water wings miraculous, not so Stunning as your steps float above the water, I am nothing, less, you shine pure, most of all More than any heart could tender, how could An empty house, abridgment only, unhinging Doors coursing reason hold the new day sun? As flame was my doom, love hear my thesis— Should I die, look for me in the loom chrysalis. .

If I Should Die with a Shunted Echo
Look at all these people behind the window. Now look at the same people with angry faces. Finally, look at the people with no faces at all, Those are the survivors out of them all. Because when people tell them they're useless And when people tell them they are ugly Those are the people who hide their faces Hoping not to upset us all. But inside their lonely hearts Are where all the feelings drift apart It's where all their feelings start to break And all their hearts, start to fall.

Survivors
Does pain resemble her? Or she resemble pain? A pretty little girl Lost in the space of occupying thoughts Made her mind into a powerful magnet with words of sorry A magnet which ***** pain, A magnet which never dies The magnet which remains till the last breath of her life And yet her soul shines bright giving no glance of pain, But yet her pain doesn't have a way to go out of her And yet she is beautiful.

A Girl
grace is now my mate happiness is now a habit joy is now a must i lived,i loved, i hated i did the most **** now it's time to change i embrassed the wrong me i bowed before the naive me i failed to defeat the immersing her i failed to change the fearful me now it's time to change i disrespected the blessed me, i was meant untrustworthy, i took my best friends for granted i never had a thought about me i was unkind and discarteous now it's time to change. i've heard a lot of unfamiliar voices sounding like a landing airplane big bass of it's beat itching my ears and i finally realized that it was an alarm with severe ringings saying that, it's time to change.

Changes
architectural mollusks     are falloping through                               my brain                         squeezing past the                          instincts that         have kept me down My instincts,               once brittle sea stars                           that splintered                                     into cracked                                  peppercorns,                  are now mixed with            the breathy liquid         of squid, lubrication for the spiny paths ahead They blow their ink between my inverted vertebrae       injecting Jello into bone                            busting through                         fiber and tissue like                           fresh-skimmed                     lavacream and all my muck rises to the top in a neon rawness that I find beautiful Soon my burning crevices will be cooled fossils will turn to flesh and, as sure as knowledge springs into action I will make for the shoreline like a cephalopod rocket silky smooth my fins spun into wings touching magic as they glide

The funny thing about change is Most people fear it but It's always been a big part of my life I've moved over eleven times I'm always pushing to try new Food, new sports, meet new people So I get extremely uncomfortable When I'm stuck in the same place too long

I used to throw away my old clothes. I lost it all for 1 year. Now I drive around with blankets & socks, to give the homeless.

It takes one to know one
My decisions grow, as moss grows. Slow, slow and unseen between the green-green of expected. My decisions grow, as moss grows. Quietly wild. Shallow threads clutched tight at the sheerness of possible- drinking light from the dark in order to thrive. My decisions grow, as moss grows. Slow, slow and unseen. No branches, no forks, no watch-wait-and-see, just spores caught on a breeze when I need them.

Keep your acorn
*How I was before staring at things and getting tensed at everything around. Fearing constantly without knowing anything. To step out of comfort zone I cried and cried but to resists! Afraid to lose anything, longing everything to be forever mine! Then came this breakthrough! I broke apart... going through lows in the midst of nowhere else No stares, no glares. Nothing at all and I suddenly realized I was out of that all. I suddenly saw a dandelion flying away.. away from everything, knowing not alive or dead but moving on with the wind no persistence or resistance... Just to free flow not caring at all. That's how I found out myself all over again. I fear but not too often, I stare into spaces to find more love in life. I add up to the beauty by smiling wide apart. I enjoy the fears now, more often it tries to get me down but challenging more, to be more. Enjoying my journey and not worry about the path.. And I'm glad I am more of me now rather than what I was couple of years before.*

I consider them as my everything but they don't know that. They are the reason why I sing wherever I'm at. They have inspired me to do better. They are my reality and my gold treasure. They introduced me to this, a world completely unfamiliar but it was pretty bliss to be somewhere quite peculiar. We'll be heading our own ways soon I'm not so prepared. Without them I'm a song without a tune, a machine that can't be repaired. Yet I thank you, for everything. I did what I wanted to. You are my favorite thing.

Them
People would ask me " what made you who you are. " I'd say my family and things that filled me with glee, especially the people who I talked to almost every hour. My Friends. They helped me change for the better. Those who will stay for the end will be considered greater. They helped me when most needed and encouraged me so much They cheered when I suceeded and always stayed in touch.

Friends
he had a barbershop on Broadway. it sat perfectly midway between the river and "the other side of town". you passed George's whether you wanted to or not, but people wanted to. he made them forget the mortgage their ugly spouse and tragedy. he was half entertainer half evangelist which didn't leave much for barbering. he chased away heartaches like tufts of hair blown across the green and white tiled floor. his guitar came out more regularly than his clippers and sermons were included in the basic package. you paid for the song and the therapy, the haircuts were free.

I remember, Being 10, And scared... Do You? I was scared of the move. Our car puncturing borders And my mind racing even faster. Out of the most standard questions, I chose two. Who? And How? I assure you, The answers where beautiful. Now im 20 and, And, im doing it again. Im scared. Im thinking. And Im in motion. I have no new questions But soon Ill have new answers. And maybe new beauty.

Use this to better yourself. Try as hard on yourself as you did on the relationship. You are the most important person. You are capable of everything you want to do. Don't give up on yourself too. I love you. I love you. I will learn to love you. There is time for sadness. That is okay. Turn it into creation. You won't always be happy but you will always be okay. Fill the holes in your heart from loving him with new reasons to love yourself. Go hiking alone. Climb a tree and read a book. Write more. God **** it, don't waste that talent. Practice gratitude. Practice mindfulness. Believe. In the future. In the power of your mind. In your ability to overcome. You will be reborn in strength. Love, Your forever companion

Break-up letter to the self
*Memories, memories grinding your brain Scorching wound opening up A prisoner in your own body A prisoner in my own body Sigh! exhausting pain Reminiscing on those days When icicles is all that mattered When we were busy Paper chasing Life chasing Dream mending Afraid of being popped Holding on a hopeless rope Screaming at the top of my lungs God...... I know you got me Am a sinner but I know you got me*

Your words were a glowing ember that kindled a slow fire in the dead wood of my heart. I could breathe oxygen again and pass the spark to another.
