A Broken heart
Has many paths
Many stories that don't part

The shattered pieces
Connecting to another
Value and lessons increases

Getting glued back together
Only to take a chance at love again
Being soft as a feather

Each crack
All different
Some just a deep black
Like an abyss
Too much to attack

To a healing path
That starts with a long hot bath

To take time alone
In order to hone
Your true self in the unknown

A Broken heart is beautiful
That to you, yourself it's suitable

A Broken heart is strong
For all that's been done
Still moves along

A Broken heart is always growing
Not always flowing
But getting through life slowly

A Broken heart
That can't help but to restart

Why so many
What ifs
Why not more
Firm answers of
Yes and no
Why so doubtful?
Why so scared?
Why the ifs?

Drop them like it's going to burn you
Cuz they are holding you back
You are overthinking
And sometimes
If not more
losing your chance
At doing something
Probably amazing

Shut the what ifs up
I don't care what you are thinking
Because If your thinking
For longer than 30 seconds
Your already letting
The ifs drag on
Letting them ruin a moment
Don't let them catch you
You need to grab your moments
Grab your memories
And run with them

What if
I stay home
Instead of going out
What if
I take chance
And be real
What if
What if I told you i don't want to hear it
What if I told you
That I want to see you
Or hear you
Getting out of your head
And doing instead of thinking

Maybe one day
to start your day
Your adventure
Don't think, just say yes
Yes
And yes
Unless it gets you killed
Or behind bars
And no not the ones at a club
By all means say no
and don't think
Those two words
Right next to each other
Of what if

Go and live your life
Don't have regrets
Of not taking those chances

For most of my life
I've felt pain
and loneliness
But who I am
in wanting to help others
wanting to take away their
pain
and hurt
Just to see them
smile
and being happy
I would take it
Because to me
Pain and sorrow
is just another day
written a few years ago.

What a good percent of people
see as negative
and a small percent as positive
but if I could change your mind
with one phrase
I will
Failure is the foundation to success
let me say that again
but slower
Failure
is the foundation
to success

let me explain
if you choose to try something
anything
you have never done before
you are bound to make mistakes and fail
now if you are determined
and not ready to give up
you will keep going till you succeed

so in order to succeed
you need to fail
failure is how we learn
success is not

Now don't get me wrong
I love to succeed
on my first try
but where is the fun in that
when you don't learn
unless you have failed
to where you have now somewhat perfected
what you were working so *******
then all is well

let me throw another example your way
babies learning to walk
prime example of not giving up
why?
because even though you may not have realized
you failed so many times
because you were so determined to succeed
to stay on your own two feet and walk
you realized that when you dragged your foot
and fell that, that was not going to work
so you try and move faster
even though you can't do so slowly
and you fall
again
so unconsciously put the two together
so you can then stay up and move forward

so if you are ever stuck
try combining things that worked
even though you failed
till you can come up with a way
to succeed
because eventually
you will nail it
and you will succeed
if you just push yourself
and tell yourself that
I can do this
never saying
I can't do this
because a negative mindset
will not get you anywhere
stay positive
and realize that
Falling Again Is Learning

I always mean it when I say I
Got you, Because I do
Otherwise who would I be
To lie to you. I wish not to
You make me smile without trying
Oh, doing things for you
Undoubtedly comes easy
got you truth

Made my thoughts known
Out loud over text
Very nervous
Even though I knew your answer
**** as you are
Time is what you need
And I let you have it
You know where to find me
I won't rush you but I'm happy we still talk and hang out ^-^

Hiding my pain behind a smile
Everyday convincing myself that
Life will get better, this is just a
Phase. Soon I can be real
Masks aside
Eventually
