"the end"
a phrase often used at the end
of a story, a movie, a telenovela, a book
i have always hated those words since I was little
to me, it meant that I had come to the end of something.
usually something I had enjoyed.
that there was nothing to look forward to after those two simple words were written or shown on the screen.
i hate that phrase.

two hearts
two minds
two bodies,
two years apart
two years away
three words, unsaid
four letters, non-existent
over the Atlantic, over the Pacific
two hearts
two minds
two bodies
be fourth
over statistics, under knowledge
I knew he would be good
I knew it from when I heard his jokes
I knew since I saw him
a whole year ahead
however would push us farther than beyond

I just have to wait. I can do that.
especially since it's the good gut-feeling
kind of guy.

everyone wants their true love to come
they want to know who it is
they wish to spend time with him/her
however,
most don't know who it is yet
they wonder
if they have seen them before
or if they know of them
of if the person is right under their nose
we don't know

i can tell you this
don't be so fixated on a love that does not
exist
don't strive to reach that high standard you set
that is too high
sometimes
the love that comes
is the one that you didn't see coming
the one that is always constant
under your nose
but you were too ignorant
you were too oblivious
distracted to not
see the greatest love you
could ever have right
in front of you.

that is the purest
truest form of love
the one you never see coming
the one you always had
but never noticed
the one that is constant
and unchanging, forever.

Everyone always wants to live in the fast lane.
And they all tell me I should do the same.
But why should I?

I don't want to run by people who could enrich my life
I don't want to go a hundred miles a minute.

I want to enjoy life.
Stop and smell the flowers,
Not see them and say "oh how pretty"

I want to love hard,
Not much.

I want to feel the soft embrace of a dedicated lover
Not just of everyone who throws an offer my way.

If I'm being completely honest
As long as I reach the air and finally feel my colors change
I'm okay with whatever happens around me

And maybe when I jump in a car with some pals and scream with them "ROAD TRIP"
I'm okay with running a hundred miles a minute.

But someone, once I'm in that left lane,
Please remind me to stop and breathe.
Remind me that life isn't just the wind blowing in my hair or the music turned up loud

Life itself is hidden in the dull moments.

And don't just remind me that life is worth living through those dull moments
Remind me to cherish how slow things can go.
How beautiful people get when they show you their souls
And only in dull moments and awkward silences can you see that in them

Only in loneliness can you find out who you are when you stand alone

Always remind me of those things
Because when you start running like that you get addicted to the adrenalin

But if you slow down,
If you see how people are made of comets and stardust
Maybe you can see that you yourself are, too.

If you live your life in the left lane,
How can you take the proper exit?
The exits that hold the best times are off to the right.

Don't tell me to live in the fast lane.
I don't want to brush past people
I don't want to be inside this shell that keeps me from slowing down

Thanks for your offer, but I think I'm well off
I have flowers to smell and people to meet

Foot tapping
Hand shaking
Mind racing
Walls breaking
Strength taking
Nail biting
Head throbbing
Knees clattering
Life shattering

*Leave me,
Anxiety!

there's nothing greater than union.
being united
in synced.
although, there are things overpowering union.
media
race
events
opinions.
don't get me wrong, this is just another opinion.
although, my opinion differs from the others.
how?
i side with the people,
for the greater good of the majority.
for the greater good of the minority.
for the greater good of the people.
the common laborers
the under appreciated teachers
the over qualified but underpaid workers.
i side with those who don't have a voice
and to be one.
i side with the Muslims.
i side with the Christians.
i side with the gypsies, the dreamers, and travelers.
i side with those who want to make a real difference in this world
to see that in the 21st century we are changed.
our ideas change
our innovations change
our morals change
i side with change
i side with the blind and the deaf
with the homeless and the weak
there's a greater power in this world
we have chosen to stay quiet
we have chosen to not flinch
however
it is ruining others
it is killing lives
it is the cause of thousand of starving people.
i stand with unity.
unity in the nations
the countries
the continents
religion
most importantly
i stand with unity in people.
