A necklace
I hold close and dear
In memory
Of someone I lost last year

Beautiful
As far as the eye can see
But it means
So much more to me

Appreciate
Every second of life

Because

you never know
when you might die

So many things
To be- thankful for
But with desire
It flies out the door

Why can't we appreciate
The things we already have?
Would you die
If they were cut in half?

It's the time of year
To spread some Christmas cheer
So hold on to everything
That you hold dear

Life will never
Be an easy breeze
But with your help
It might go on- with a little more ease

Life
A clock
Ticking away

Each second
Passes
Another second
Closer to death

There is
No guarantee
That we will live
To see tomorrow

So stop
Taking advantage
Of time
Because time
Can not be replaced

Procrastination
An evil
That brainwashes
And is designed to ****

It kills
Hopes and dreams
Of children
Everywhere

Our intentions
Put to the side
Never focused on

So why
Do we get so mad
When things
Don't go our way?

We are set up to
FAIL
but what if
We never try?

I have built myself
From ashes
Others will not determine
My fate

Tired of being the girl
In the shadows
I will
Take your breath away

Your opinion
No longer matters
It is
Dead to me

I will rise
To the occasion
And defeat
My inner enemy

I had your back
Through it all
I was blinded
When you let me fall

What kind of friend were you?
What kind of friend were you?

A knife, in the back
Is all you'll ever be
But you
Will never get the best of me

Another chapter of my life gone
With no regrets-
Because who knows
What I'll find

Lift the
Weight off your shoulders
Make ammends
With your mistakes

Today is the start
Of a brand new day
And I plan on taking
Your breath away

Live life
To its' fullest
Don't surrender
To your fear

Because fear is
The devil in disguise
All he wants
Is to make you cry

Let God
Open the gates of your heart
Because this
Is a brand new start
