if i wrote my future
all would be changed
from the way i was raised
to the thoughts in my brain
if i wrote my future
no love would be lost
so i’d stand right beside you
no matter the cost
if i wrote my future
i’d bring nothing but peace
and save you from sorrow
and the darkness that creeps
if i wrote my future
you’d still be here
but you wrote my future
and i did nothing
but stare

I just want to

Take off my mask for a bit

And feel

How it feels

To be me

When you have to have it...

When there is no fork in the road, no plan B, no scenic route and no short cut

When you need it to be happy, chose it over food or money, lose something or someone for it

When it consumes you, naws at you, breaks you until you get it

That is when you will achieve your dreams

When you HAVE to have it.

Life is about feeling good

I think I'm ready to live

And as they watched the steam emit from her skin,
they awed,
as she was not tame and cold
as they once thought,
but a wild fire
that could never be
controlled or extinguished.

I wish my parents weren't divorced.


I wish my dad was still alive.


I wish I could have witnessed love,


Before discovering it myself.
