Many walking different paths,

That lead us in the same direction

A place filled with much pain,

And lots of empty reflections

Rivers filled with tears of sadness,

From the emptiness deep inside.

Oceans filled with tears of pain,

A pain we try to hide.

A desert without water,
But yet the oasis we do see.

Our minds twisted and turned
Is it real or make believe.

People do not understand,
The challenges that we face.

We struggle just to get by,
With a smile upon our face.

I hope they never feel,
What it’s like to be inside our head.

Struggling with our demons,
Some wishing they were dead.

People don’t understand our struggles,
Or the shoes we have to wear.

Feeling all the loneliness,
Just hoping someone would care.

All the pain we must  carry,

As we struggle every day.

We hope to make it through
Our darkest hours,

Just to struggle another day.

Live

My old true love rdd=PC
wrote this poem to me on HP.
~~~~~
"I fall in love."
"Death would be liberating
but I wouldn't suggest jumping off a cliff"
                                               NO
"And for the life of me I hold on
to shaddy realities,
and an odd feeling of never being enough."

"I don't know what will happen"

IT IS ALL OUT OF MY HANDS

IT'S ALL OUT OF TIME"
~~~~
( my spontaniety of first thought)
my response 2018 is:

I fall in love too I choose life.
dearest true love of yore
from your holy hands
your love unto my heart falls
joining my spirit soul
precious twin flame
and here with me  love won't die

nor can unconditional love
into my hands ever perish

true love needs not be liberated
as no TREASON ever existed
you just got me ALL WRONG!

And since when orphanes
in protective custody hiding for their life after Feds and murderers buchered her family and loved ones in childhood

and throughout adolecence years  a faulty weak covert adoption witness protection program forcing victim to live as an exiled fugitive??
due to a horrendous loss of life

You simply didn't know me
for the task you and your brother assigned to me dearest ones
and isn't it treason on your part to abandon an amnesic loved one
only because it wasn't written in an old script?
some lovers being in love
feeling betrayed and hurting
do jump off a cliff
like you did It hurts do much to understand your pain physical and mental too
Still others jump into amnesic shocks becoming like I did
DEATH CALM! its very painful
i had no shell shick therapyst no councellings just hell left behind
I don't recomment either one
ways to hurt for living one another presence was needed!

both ways of hsndling pain
are equally distructive unfruitful look at me now!
you have support family bank
structure how do I win from here  I healed living in denial.
my ignorsnt ways ended in heartbreaking tragedy more for me than for you
You were my hero my knight
I loved you always will i was in love with you I hurt too
We were so identical twin flames from the inside thinking modes
both feeling so small
and never enough for each other!
because we were apart!
And both so brightly colored in the outside with Gs light
very rare occurance
a triumph for the finding
worth the fame intended
worth the pain of defeat endured
for the best can only be bought at the cost of great pain and sacrifice!!
my pain went to sleep in an amnesic transformative shock
I have always loved you
and as you see I did jump!
Right into 'death' and 'knife'
i transformed to survive
Read my birth chart both Death and Knife remain a blessing and a curse to me such mystery
but both protecting me just the same!
two protective mechanisms
per the Mayan calendar.
such a mystery we both are.
Death saving me from 'death'
and knife'cutting' through my pain a cold ice blade
there transforming me
Death Calm and silent!
I am not insensitive I feel love
death needs not be liberating
my soul knowing true love
will rest in peace with some regrets
I promised our unborn childten that no love fame nor great fortune would be greater then the love I feel for them all
and I kept my painful promise
but it was the end of me
In your eyes
I must have shrank smallest yet
misunderstood I go unless you read me here on HP the final fronteer unless you read
my memoir but we are both running out of time
lovers die in more ways than jumping off cliffs

precious love thank you for loving me
it hurt me very deeply to let you go so long ago
I am the woman who loves you the most in this whole wide world
I could have given my life for just one day though to have understood you grabbed you!
to have known what to do
what not to do,
where to go, where not to go,
what to say, what not to say.
what to think and what not to think!
i didn't understand you!
so I feared you
I couldn't fight every greedy jealous woman for your love as the left behind gap how?
forgive me please beloved
I felt too small and worthless

I had no idea anyone on earth would love me too back!
much less enough as to jump of a cliff to hurt that much for my life to benefit as new Eve
even changing earth with you
a worlds new adam Back then

I sincerely did not understand what you had planed to do after my impatient ignorant fall

Life had only taught me
to feel insignificantly tini especially when being taunted
mistreated and challenged
abandonement syndrome
was my demise dince childhood
your mind games and head riddles smothered my dreams
of you me for us.

loving you more than
I loved myself was understood
very well that's what life
had taught me to do
to let go of everything I ever loved the most
when all life did was take chunks of my family and my life.
You were life's reward to me
without you by my side
I became speechless Dead Calm
stump like on Mothers day.

'sorry' can't depict the black hole
that has swallowed you
and me apart
nor pain depict the bottomless pit that living without you is

I too fell into my death
heartbroken as you announced
a JaneHilton freeway driving
in oposite directions was agony when in your letter
you wrote you had a wife!

I fell into the abyss and I died
I was only nineteen then

Then came hell getting me stranded at the fork road
all the way to hell Greece

smily kind penpal demons helped me up a plane ticket

two in all even married me not to avert authorities of my impending death with their treacherous agendas
IT WAS ALL STAGED
as was much of my life on earth.

I am glad we met
glad we loved each other
near or far
in Gs hands we both are.

As morning comes I open my eyes,
and never forget say.

Thank you all mighty entity,
for yet another wonderful day.

The sun is shining
the day is bright.

I'm thankful for its beauty
and its powerful light.

Its the little things in life,
that I'm thankful for.

I'm grateful for what little I have,
even though some have more.

Cherish each moment,
with your family and friends.

Because tomorrow isn't promised,
and today it all could end.

Be thankful for the plants
be thankful for the trees.

It's because of them there is air,
that everybody breaths.

Be thankful for the vegetation
and the flowers that we see.

Be thankful for the sun the rain
But don't forget the bees.

Be thankful for the water
that's pure enough to drink.

Be grateful for the men
that brought it to your sink.


Be thankful for the sun, the moon
and don't forget the stars.

They have made it possible for  you and i,
be thankful where we are.

Be thankful for the really  big things that you or I  can not see.

Be thankful for the energy
that makes you you and makes me me.

It starts with that sun,
that I was thankful for.

but that's a real tiny picture.
We are here because of so much more.

Now as I lay
down my head
and close my wary eyes.

I'm thankful for everything that makes me me
even if I'll never know why.

I hope to wake
for yet another day.

So I can continue to be thankful foR,
more little things I did not have
the time to say.

Live

DAY by day,
Week by week

Taking all your  abuse,
Yet turning the other cheek

Continuously Dragging me down,
Lowering my self esteem.

Having No way  out,
Is how you make it seem.

I’m never good enough,
You'll never find someone better.

Building up my courage,
To finally write this letter.

Realizing who I am,
And what I’m really worth.

Meant to be respected,
As I walk upon the earth.

I’m finally standing up,
Finally standing my ground.

I deserve so much better,
Tell me how that sounds.

I finally had enough,
You keep me all depressed.

These feelings hidden inside,
It’s time to lay to rest.

I am a beautiful person,
And I’m worthy of so much more.

So make sure you kiss my ***,
As I’m walking out the door.

I know this won’t be easy,
But it’s what I have to do.

It’s time I love myself,
Instead off loving you.

HERE GOSE NOTHING  HOPE YOU LIKE I WORKED ALL DAY ON IT....im sure there will be changes....LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK



Class is in session.
Time to grab your
NoteBooks.
And get,
educated.

Think My words
May Have been forgotten.
Or have they,
just  been
miscommunicated

Can you hear what I'm  saying.
Probably not,
 I'm  Too sophisticated.

Don’t take words I say
And twist them and around.
Til They become
exaggerated.

Or I’ll grab my strap
And ****  it back
take aim
Clack clack
Assassinated.

Watch what you saying,
I don't think your  listening.
Better get to running
Or end up,,,,,,
annihilated.

My mouth has no Limit,
It's automated.
I don't have a filter
To keep me,
regulated.

As you get incarcerated,
I get celebrated
For  every thing I've done.
This I created

So Say Good Bye
to what you
Thought were friends,
We're way gone,
Alienated.

Your Words will get you
Eliminated,
Like a effin cockroach
Just Call me
Mrrrr Orrrrrkin,
Exterminated.


Better watch your back.
I can get real spinal,
Don't get,
  disintegrated.

My words  are truthful
Just like the
Guinness Book of records.
Im authenticated.

I write my own words
Im Never collaborated,
Unless it’s me myself and
I.

Will never be manipulated.
By your abbreviated
Stories,
They're fabricated.

Don’t make me
Hunt you
  I will effin ****** you
Its all ready planned out,
Premeditated.

So Let me make things simple
For you,
Like you are  a caveman.
Uncomplicated.

My  moves they seem so cat like,
Very Quick and nimble.
Im Articulated.

I’ll will destroy you
Don’t get blown away
Like a hurricane,
Decimated.

Can't you see me frozen
I’m cold as ice,
And need.
refrigerated.

Do you see my spot lights
Can you see me
glowing,
While up on stage.
I'm Illuminated.

As you sit here
With an old pass,
Done  expired and no where to go,
invalidated.

You can’t even do math,
Always 3 steps behind,
You know what i Call that.
miscalculated.

Me as being stupid.
Don't try be sneaky
I know Your  every move,
I Anticipated.

Don’t  choke on your words
To where you can’t breath,
With A rope around your neck,
Asphyxiated.

Why must  you be so
opinionated
Are you **** hurt.
Or is your mouth
just.
constipated.

Quick,
give him a trophy
Cause He thinks he won.
But you never,
participated.

How’s it feel to be
Hated,irritated
And,  outdated.
Cause you have no *****.
You've  been Castrated,
Dominated
And, infiltrated
Just Like a waterfall
You've been.

Liquidated.

I Think  you over medicated
Here  come the white coats,
Eyes are dialated
Cause your brain
Has become
Contaminated
Intoxicated and,
Deteriorated.


Think you daddy
Should have just
Masturbated
Then
*******
On
The bed sheets

As he Put a pillow on
Your mom’s face
and she,
Suffocated.

Cause she never
Reciprocated
Or consummated.
Was so stupid and didn't
Swallow.
Got inseminated.

Now
Its time that we end
This.
What I initiated,
Hopefully
I communicated
All these words
That
Have  accumulated.

I tried to be illustrated
And innovated.
Just like
A bomb
That had to be detonated.
I’m out
And cool like a fan
I’m  so oscillated.

To be continued

To inspire,
Or be inspired.

To desire,
Or to be desired.

To live,
Or to give life.

To promote peace,
Or to cause strife.

To care,
Or to neglect.

To honor,
Or show disrespect.

To love,
Or be loved.

To hate,
Or feel unloved.

Emotions are endless,
And are not always a choice.

Feelings hidden inside,
Some afraid of using their voice.

Choose to inspire,
And make somebody's  day.

Embrace being inspired,
It brings these words I do say.

Be careful what you desire,
Unless thoughts are pure.

Enjoy being desired,
And not so insecure.

Never be afraid to live,
Always be happy who you are.

Embrace giving life,
It’s the greatest gift by far.

Emotions  and feelings
Cause pleasure and pain.

So Spread peace love and happiness,

Depression is a killer,
Eating at ones wary soul.

Keeping to yourself,
So  no one will ever know.

Many different vices,
To keep your  thoughts buried.

Keeping  things a secret,
To the point you become wary.

Time passes by,
And yet the pain remains.

Depression is a silent killer,
That will drive a person insane.

Yet you continue on,
And always carry your smile

Stricken with lots of pain,
You’ve had for quite a while.

Hoping and praying,
Just to barely hold on.

Fighting every day,
Trying to be really strong.

With each passing moment,
You try not to think.

Of  things that cause pain,
And push you to the brink.

Some of us are weak,
And others are very strong.

That’s the deciding factor,
On how long many hold on.

Don’t get things twisted,
And tied all in a knot.

I am very strong,
Weak that  I am not.

I am very grateful,
For many things every day.

I thankful for the people,
That listen when I say.

Im very sad inside,
And struggle a hell of a lot.

I’m thankful for those of you,
Cause you are all I’ve got.

Why do we self destruct,
When we're so close to our goals.

Some find it hard to interpret,
Why  others  seem to know.

We can be our worst enemy,
Our souls seem
filled with doubt.

We must continue on our journey,
It's what Life's all about.

Conquering all our emotions,
Conquering all our fears.

Sometimes for a brief moment,
While other times it takes many years.

Never giving up,
Always pushing forward.

Never losing hope.
Never being cornered.

Our journey will be long.
So always stay true to our self.

Never giving up on hope,
BY placing
our struggles upon a shelf.

Always keep pushing forward
No matter
how hard it gets.

And keep on living life,
With love and no regrets.

Good morning little birdie,
How are you today.

Sorry but I am miserable,
But thankful for this day.

I always keep a smile,
Even when I'm in pain.

Many of you have no clue,
When it feels like you been hit by a train.

It’s really tough today,
I would be happy just to eat.

Other days I hurt so much,
I have to stay off my feet.

It often hurts to lay here,
Never getting to rest.

And it causes me anxiety,
That Weighs heavy upon my chest.

What was it we I was saying,
It causes me to forget.

Our there goes my tummy again,
It causes it to be upset.

Some days are better than others,
Always waiting to see.

Am I going to be able to face the world,
Or today will it just be me.

I know that I’m a soldier,
As I go to battle every day.

I’m very  Strong and BEAUTIFUL,
And always thankful for a new day.

Thankful for those who care,
Always checking how I am.

Just know today may be a tough one.
And I’m doing the best that I can.

It’s time to crack the bottle,
Time to numb the pain.

Time to open the umbrella,
Time to hide from the rain.

Some have easy lives,
And will never know the struggle.

Never knowing what some go through,
Because all they know is a hustle.

Never given the chance,
Making it with what they had.

Caught up in their surroundings,
Never having a Dad.

I’m thankful for what I have,
I know It could be  so much worse,

That’s why I pay it forward,
I don’t need another curse.

I’ve had my own struggles,
In my own shoes I do walk.

Always keeping my head high,
No matter how much people talk.

I sit upon the fence post,
And try never to hold a grudge.

Because I know I'm not perfect,
I am no one to judge.

Still I sit here
Trying  to numb my pain.

Fighting off my demons,
Like I'm fighting off the rain.

Even though I hardly know you,
In my mind you always remain.

I wish you a life With happiness,
Even though there's been so much pain.

You truly are an amazing person,
This is what I feel.

You have a Heart of gold,
This I know Is real.

Never forget your struggles,
They make you who you are.

You my dear are a Beautiful soul,
shinning bright like the northern star.

So many thoughts and words,
Spinning around in my head.

The need to put on paper,
To help heal when they are read.

People will always judge us,
In our shoes they do not walk.

Trying to break us down,
While all the do is talk.

Take my hand and walk with me,
To a special place.

To me that place is simple,
It's putting a smile on your face.

I may not have gotten to see it,
Trust I know it was there.

It's the simple acts of Kindness,
Of letting you know someone cares.

Some will pray on your weakness,
Just to get what they want.

Always hiding their true intentions ,
And putting up a really good front.

They all have a secret agenda,
When they hide things from the start.

Instead of being honest,
They end up breaking a heart.

A heart that was already fragile,
And very very weak.

They prey upon these people,
So They get what they do seek.

When you finally see what has happened,
It’s usually way to late.

They turn what feelings u had for them,
Into something they call hate.

Why was I so foolish,
To let them bring me down.

You just made my worth go up,
Like an elegant wedding gown.

I now see your true colors,
And let there be no mistake.

You have shown me you are worthless,
Like a diamond that's found to be fake.

I hope you take this moment,
To realize what you lost.

I now know my true worth,
Don’t worry I’ll cover the cost.

When I see a flower,
It’s  your  beauty that I see.

A beauty so deep and vibrant,
That’s how you will always be.

A beauty so pure and natural,
Unseen by the by the naked eye.

A beauty that is so endless,
Just like a dark moonlit sky.

A beauty that is unspoken,
Every where you go.

Just like a bud on a flower,
Your beauty  continues to grow.

I’m blessed to have seen that beauty,
Blessed you are a friend.

Your beauty will always be remembered,
Even when this life does end.

When I'm out
and you see me,
My feelings you may never know.

But when I put pen to paper,
My feelings usually will show.

Never afraid to share my happiness,
Or to let you read my pain.

I put all my thoughts on paper,
And never will I refrain.

From telling you that I hurt,
Or telling you what I know.

The thoughts and feelings
Inside my head,
And not knowing which way to go.

Some may think it’s a gift,
But truly it can be a curse.

All I know
when I let things out,
It keeps me from getting  worse.

Ever fight with a demon,
Laughing inside your head.

They can make you have fear at night ,
As if they are under your bed.

So If I can give you  wisdom,
Before I let you go.

Never fear letting things out,
It how you will continue to grow.

I’ll be thankful for the little things,
This is how I start my day.

I will fall many times,
But my path

Everything is changing

As I sit here with thoughts
running through my head.

Some that are happy and others that are dead.

While my feelings come out,
And I let it be known.

I get sorry my dear,
You reached the friend zone.

A place i have been
so many times before.

Because of my feelings for someone,
I love and adore.

As I sit here staring,
out into the lake

I don't know how much more
disappointment I can take.

They say I'm a friend,
that can never be beat.

For the women I choose everythings on repeat.

I do all I can
and even a bit more.

For those I cherish,
love and adore.

As I sit here and wonder,
I think to myself.

Is it time to give up,
And put my love ulon a shelf.

Should I give up looking,
and just be that special  friend.

No matter how hard I try, that's usually where I end.

As I sit and stare,
into the dark of night.

Did I give it my best,
should I put up a fight.

I sit here and seek guidance,
from anyone above.

With help finding a friendship,
that turns into Love.

Even if I sit here for hours on end,
I'll get the same story you're only a friend.

As I sit here and wonder,
how it can be.

Am I doing something wrong,
or is it just me.

Her beauty sets a fire to all it touches,
Not leaving behind her soul.

A soul so great it out shines her BEAUTY,
As she radiates her BEAUTY from within.

Sacrificing everything to prove she is worthy
Worthy of her own success.

A success self built on her own shoulders
Carrying the weight of  many trying to break her.

An unbreakable soul that continues to push,
Pushing forward against all those doubting her ability

A strong woman built with kindness yet resilient,
To all those that stand in her way.

She may be strong
but yet weak,
Loving
but yet still focused.
Knows who she is
Yet fulfilling what she  desires…..

As I sit and watch the sunset,
in the Western sky.

I sit and begin to think too much,
I always wonder why.

Why does every thing happen,
For many reasons unknown.

What I am I suppose to believe,
With everything I’ve been shown.

Just know there are greater reasons,
To why Everything exists.

Don’t believe all you hear,
Temptations we all must resist.

Just look for the good and evil,
In everything you do.

Be sure to Take care of Mother Earth,
She always give back if you do.

She is the key to our survival,
But most don’t even care.

We are killing her at an alarming rate,
Soon she'll have nothing to share.

It’s time to hit the brakes,
Before we are out of time.

We need to start giving back,
So future generations will be fine.

Till darkness turns to light,
And night time turns to day.

I’ll be forever grateful,
To be blessed with a brand new day.

As I walk,
I know I am not alone.

When I am in pain,
I know I’m not alone.

As the tears run down my face,
I know I am not alone.

During my darkest hours,
I know I am not alone.

Even though you are not here ,
You are still with me.

You show me,
When I can not see.

You give me strength,
When I am weak.

You guide me,
When I have answers I seek.

You have taught me,
how to be strong,

I look to you,
when things go wrong.

You are my rock,
and my foundation.

You are my strength,
And greatest inspiration.

I will continue to walk,
And will never be alone.

I will shed many tears,
And will never be alone.

I will have many dark hours,
And I know I will never be alone.

Until I breath my last breath,
I know I will never be alone.

For what is a flower,
If you don’t admire it’s beauty,
If you don’t embrace it’s aroma.

For what is a songbird,
Without its beautiful songs,
Or  not being able to take flight
to spread it’s voice

For what is a Butterfly,
Without it’s cocoon to
Transform it’s beauty

What good is a heart
If it never produces a tear
Or brings a simple smile.

What good is Life
If you don’t LIVE  in the moment.
Instead of the past.

What good is Life
If we don’t LOVE with all our  heart.

What good is life,
If we live without HOPE

Sitting here
in meditation.

wondering about
my own  identification.

Dreaming  about
my summer vacation.

Reminiscing about
a past infatuation.

Do we need  
outer space exploration.

We thank the Armed Forces
for their dedication.

And seem to forget
the needy in desperation.

We need to help our own
show some dedication.

Or at least help them
change their life situation.

I know you can see
their frustration.

As billions go
to other nations.

Bet yet we forget our own

As I sit here
and continue in meditation.

I take myself
to a higher elevation.

But that's
your interpretation.
Only from
your observation.

As our children are suffering
from starvation.

There shouldn't be
any complication.

And yet so
many denominations.

we shouldn't put
any limitations.

from a country of
so much innovation.

But why does our government
seek world *******.

But yet they forget their own

We only see
their chosen presentations.

They show us only
certain altercations.

Then media  thrives
on all the accusations.

Why  all we read about
is their incarcerations.

Which cause
hate and assassinations.

From all there exaggerations.

Which causes
uncivilized demonstrations.

All the breakdown
in communications.

And the medias
absurd manipulations.

That tries to keep divided
our great civilization.

But when it really matters
there is great hesitation.

But yet we forget our own

In the book it says
lead us not into temptation.

But they create
such a fascination.

And push
our very own  expectations.

With there
sneaky modifications.

Of certain
well know corporations.

And provide
certain gratifications.

Without everyone's
consideration.

Or passing
the right legislation.

We our their
experimentation.

But yet get no
appreciation.

Which goes back
many generations.

But yet we forget our own

We have forgotten
our own foundation

That love
is what made creation.

And its disappeared
from our population.

All we see is
hate and annihilation.

But they don't show us
the right information.

The kind with
pure human consideration.

The kind
which causes admiration.

With out the feeling
of obligation.

Its time to begin
a new celebration.

And stop
all the hate and separation.

And show all love
with true aspirations.

BUT NEVER FORGET OUT OWN.

As I sit And listen
I hear not a sound,
Everything is silent
Loneliness sets in.

A lost soul
Searching for a
Place in life,
Yet Pain Echoes  from within.

Many thoughts
Trapped inside
My head
Needing to get out.

No one To turn to
Falling deeper
And deeper .
Wanting to shout

But knowing
No one is there
To hear your cry
For help.

Searching for
Joy and happiness
Feelings needed
To be felt.

Losing your
Purpose in life
Darkness sets in,
Blinding your path.

Asking yourself
For answers
Echoing voices inside
Feeling their wrath.

Staring at all
Your scars
From a soul
Trying to escape.

Everything is
Falling apart
Trying to avoid
The red tape.

Yet sometimes
It’s needed
To become
More  humble.

Never give up
In your darkest
Hours,
We all shall stumble.

There mighty river always moving
Never remaining the same.

Life is always changing,
Never staying still.

Embrace every moment
For it may be the last  we have.

Fear nothing,
Not even change.

Learning from your  struggles,
Growing from your  fears.

Fear not for what is to come,
Fear only time that was lost.

Time we can never regain.
No matter what the cost

Endure the rapids of life,
Growing stronger as you go.

Always holding your head high.
Your strengths will begin to show.

Live your life,
Become that mighty river.

Never give up,
Even if there are falls.

The Mighty river continues on.

As I sit and wait for a rocket,
Ready to blast off high,

I sit and stare in the darkness,
Of the midnight Sky,

Never knowing where we came from,
Or how we came to be.

Science takes the reigns,
Try to prove history.

We can chase all we want,
We'll never find the truth,

We will all be gone one day,
Just like the old phone booth,

Never stop gaining knowledge,
From answers that we seek.

Never stop living life,
When our future is so bleak.

The lonely stoner
comes out at night.

Shadows abundent,
In the bright moonlight.

It's time for night thinking,
time to take a walk.

Tiny inspirations,
like a picture drawn with chalk.

the colors are so beautiful,
and nicely blended in.

A picture so amazing
where should I begin.

A tiny little girl,
running in the sand.

A fragile lil old couple,
Walking hand in hand.

The moonlight so bright,
gleaming off the ocean.

Little calm ripples,
with never-ending motion.

Little birds all powerful,
flying through the air.

I even see a bright blue ball,
bouncing down the stairs.

So many things in this short life,
we never get to see.

Always being thankful,
and grateful one should be.

Today is almost over,
and tomorrow may never come.

I'm thankful for who I am,
and the persone I've become.

I try to keep it 100,
Though not many of you Will.

Watching so many peek,
From Behind that window sill.

Never judge
a book
by it’s pages,
Just look how the bindings are worn.

Does their book
look like a fake,
Or is the cover tattered  and torn.

The older ones teach us our wisdom,
But most choose not to follow.

Instead they spread horrible stories,
Their lives are empty and hollow.

I’ll sit and read that old book
Any given day,

I still have much to learn,
And living is the only way.

Gathering all the knowledge,
As I see life through many eyes.

Don’t think I'm simple minded,
Because I listen to all your lies.

People are blind,
Never opening that tattered book.

They are the simple minded,
In the mirror
They need to look.

Ever sIng a song
Without words,
That doesn't  even
have a  chorus.

Feeling life
Being ****** from you,
As you dream of all your
Horrors.

Checking in your closet,
peeking under you bed.

While hiding
From  the demons,
That are deep inside
Your head.

Portrait Portrait  on the wall,
Why you staring at me.

I promise to sit here quietly,
If you kindly leave me be.

I can feel your presence,
I can tell you're near.

Are you trying
To tell me something,
Or is this my voices
I hear.

People soon may think
I’m crazy,
Some even may call me
Insane.

Am I really talking to myself.
Or is this all made up
In my brain.

Please don’t
I will not answer,
I’ll give you
Hell of a fight.

I eat demons
Like you for breakfast.
Please
Get out of my sight.

I will never
Give up trying.
You will never
Get me to stop.

No matter how much
You eat at my insides.
Back I’ll push
As  I shoot for the top.

Some people think they know me ,
but I doubt they'd understand.

These trials that I've been through,
has made me who I am.

Some will say you **** at life,
they need to check their mirror.

Their mirror is a little *****,
mine will always be much clearer.

Stories hidden in their closest,
or locked up in a chest.

Always thinking they are too good for some,
and better than the rest.

Always quick to judge a person ,
without ever reading their book.

Leads us to that mirror again,
they should take another look.

Feeling ones frustrations,
Just by words that they say.

Knowing they are lost,
Needing just to find their way.

Speaking their own answers,
To questions that they seek,

Losing control of their mind,
Stop.
Look inside and take a peek.

You truly hold the answers,
To all you want to know.

Just dive deep inside yourself,
Those answers start to show.

Your happiness is so much more,
Than words anyone could speak.

We hold the key to our happiness,
And all the answers that we seek.

I will love you unconditionally,
This you already know,

I will never judge you for past mistakes,
This is how we grow.

If you need to talk about anything,
Always know I’m  here.

I will always be there to protect you,
From your darkest fear.

Always being honest,
Never have anything to hide.

Open up completely,
Showing her everything inside.

Life has taught me lessons,
It’s taught me how to Love.

It’s taught to be humble,
And too see a true Angel from above.

It’s taught me to get lost,
In those dark angelic eyes,

It’s taught that you must respect,
And never tell no lies.

You have to be romantic,
And let her know you care.

You have to show her you love her.
And show her you’re always there.

You have to keep her happy,
And treat her like a queen.

This is what I've earned in Life,
If I want to be her King.

Just in case
its been miss communicated.

Are government
Has been heavily underestimated.

And unless you chose
to become acclimated.

And let you mind become
Contaminated.

While each generation
is more uneducated.

Just a dying breed
being *******.

Cops stories being fabricated.

That's why they are becoming abominated.

Its all a story that's been fabricated.

What is that me
I've been duplicated

I'm not talking cartoons
My cells have been fabricated

From money that's been allocated.

To companies that have become conglomerated.

While there CEO'S
are greatly compensated.

They keep us all checkmated.

By making our jobs automated.

With machines making jobs eliminated.

And our wages are all but dissipated.

They try to keep us alienated.

Why our lives are infiltrated.

They know whether or not what we drink is decaffeinated.

All are privacy has been decimated.

Thanks to technology that has been created.

But just as all things can be hated.

We the people our power can be demonstrated.

Before we become annihilated.

By those who keep us alienated.

Why their plan is becoming accelerated.

Taking our freedom
its confiscated.

Adding chemicals to our foods keeping minds contaminated.

Our minds our manipulated and  captivated.

As bombs detonated cause innocent to be devastated.

Can't you see us so frustrated.

Its time for them to be investigated.

All mighty companies  to be separated.

So all companies can be family orientated.

It was we the people when we became declarated.

But we gave our freedom away
To become isolated.

Its time to stand up
Its time to be liberated.

Before they make us all medicated.

Take my words as ye will
I may be opinionated.

But heed my warning
Its all being orchestrated.

Our end is prefabricated.
Our civilization will be eradicated.

Unless we become reeducated.

And those behind it all are eliminated.

Your eyes they tell a story,
That many will never see

The struggles you've endured,
Are the feelings that come to me.

Your soul has been battered and broken,
Your heart has been torn apart.

Answers that you seek,
Not knowing where to start.

Let's take a little journey,
Inside Is where we need to go.

working from the inside out,
Is the only way we grow.

Made to feel so worthless,
By men you thought you loved.

And the greatest man in your life,
Is now looking down from above.

People that are your family,
Are The People causing you pain.

The demons Living inSide your head,
Are driving you insane.

Your father is always with you,
Just seek and you shall find.

Time to face the Demons,
Time to free your mind.

You are your own creator,
With angels at your side.

Time to Step out of your darkness,
No longer A time to hide.

It's time to conquer your fears,
That haunt you  While you sleep

I'm here to walk beside you,
That promise I do keep

You are an Extraordinary person,
you are A keeper of the light.

You are meant for greater things.
Your demons you must fight.

Lying here SO peacefully
Relaxing in my bed.

My mind begins to wonder
So much is inside my head.

Soft gentle music
Playing in my ears.

yet nothing seems to help
Take away all the fears.

We are slowly destroying
The world as how it was.

If things don't change
We all may gave to wear gloves.


Technology pushing forward
New discoveries they always find.

Buying things out of habit
Instead of using our mind.

As a child life was simple
we had to use our brains.

WE Learned to be creative
While playing in the rain.

No mobile phones or computers
Were there to tie use down.

We were made to play outside
No worries were to be found.

We were always taught
To always work hard.

Making a Little money
By mowing many yards.

But we never stopped
And actually thought.

Are these things right
Because how we were taught.

To be successful
is them name of the game.

They teach us
Its all about fortune and fame.

Money greed and technology
Are my biggest fears.

Its Killing everyone of us
But its taking quite some years.

I think Its to late to save us
from our own demise.

All because we chose technology
Instead of learning to be wise.

We keep taking life
from great mother earth.

Instead of giving back
What she's really truly worth.

Humans won't survive
the test of times.
as long as they control your mind.

The Illuminati are the ones in control
We need to break that bind.

Music opens your soul,
its how its should always be.

I may not be able to change the world,
but I know who I was meant to be.

Standing at a life’s crossroads,

This journey I must travel alone.


As I stand upon this mountain top,

Its my time to show that I’ve grown.


Time to be teacher,

And yet be the one that learns.


Time for a life of giving,

Watch at all the knowledge I’ll earn.


Time to start the healing,

This gift placed upon my hands.


Time to heal myself,

My foundation is strong where I stand.


I walked through that valley of death,

Then I  had much fear.


Until  I looked inside myself,

And saw I was the one to fear.


My thoughts consuming my soul,

Afraid I was losing my mind.


All along it was images inside my head,

Making me feel like I was Blind.

The cracks have started to surface,

The walls have begun to fall.


The power I have beneath this skin,

I would have never seen at all.


But I stand here looking in this mirror,

And answers I still seek.


Guess it time to look inside again,

Time for another peek.


Time to break the chains that bind me,

And keep me from who I am.


For I am the one that holds the answers,

It makes me who I am.

It’s time to pen this letter,

You have been occupying my mind.

For You  I’m very grateful,

A friendship that not many find.

I miss old times together,

Now we are all these miles apart.

We became best of friends,

Bonded at the heart.

Always here with open arms,

Or just to lend an ear.

I will hold you in your darkest hours,

And protect you from your fears.

Here to spread some laughter,

And put a smile upon your face.

Here to love with all my Heart,

Our Bond never  replaced.

So just encase you haven’t heard,

I think you’re pretty Great.

I miss you my best friend,

While you are in another state😢

We shall meet again,

We will not always be apart.

Until that moment comes,

I’ll keep you deep in my Heart.
