Progression

picture source

So much can change in a year..
but where does it all go,where does it disappear?
I can see you,but I cant feel you near
Why does it always feel like the ones that should,are the ones that never care
Do we ever truly accept the things we don't want to hear?
We have too,if we don't we're done
Life is a race,but what if I don't want to run
Slowly walking watching the world pass me by
How long does it take for people to forget you after you die
We love with our hearts but pay with our eyes
Loving with your all,only being left to cry

A better tomorrow,A better today
Even through complete silence..you were able to say all the things I couldn't say
It feels like I'm stuck here...I just lay & lay..
Constantly looking for a way..to get away
So I just take each moment..day by day
I have a handful of people that I hope are okay
And once they find happiness..I hope it will always stay..

Now it feels like I've running out of time
I have to put everything & everyone on the back burner & leave them all behind
But I realize it..so that must be a sign
That maybe I can fix it..before I run out of time

I haven't been here in so long
Everyday I don't write,it feel so wrong
Always do what you love,because that's what defines you
Life is all about progression..but first you have to find you..

Acceptance

picture source

Do you accept you?
Do you accept who you are?
You have to know..
That your the reason you got this far
We don't always give enough credit to who we are
As soon as you feel close..things may make you seem far
But your right there..Love can help overcome any fear
Love those far..Love those near
This world..the air we breathe
We all have to remember how to share
It seems we sometimes forget how to care
But theres life all around us,I know its sometimes silent
But you have to use your heart to hear..
And to see..
Who better to make this place..a more lovely space
Than you..or me
They can try to keep us locked away
But deep inside,someone has placed a secret key
Unlocking it though,takes some time
It takes a certain amount of love & peace in your mind
So please accept..too many times do we quickly reject
And while we're speaking on the subject,lets try not to neglect
Expect to Accept
Learn to Protect
The not so Perfect
In the end,this is what makes life worth it
Helping one another
Loving a family other than your mother,father,sister,brother
It's the easiest thing to say No
But then again its sometimes easy to say Yes
No one is allowed to judge you
We just have to try our best
We were once that little baby bird,scared to leave mothers nest
But we're flying now..maybe not yet on our own
Spread your wings..Acceptance can be one of the most beautiful things known..

Happy Birthday Mom

picture source

It's been over a year, and I haven't seen you

Always hard to leave loved ones behind,but sometimes you need to

You showed me so much,I wish you could be here

My love for you will always be in your heart,I can promise you it will always be there

And this song always gets me,I always start to cry

Because it makes me think,what would I do if I was all the way over here and you were to get hurt or to die

All I ask is for God to protect you & them

You are the only person I could always go to,when I don't have a friend

You always try so hard,you never stop

But I promise we will be there to catch you when you feel old & weary or like your about to drop

Loving my brothers is all I could ever ask from you

You did it all alone,so much love from one person..it's like you were two

Staring at this picture I took a couple days before I left

Me on the right and you on the left

We might not know the path,but its always important to take that next step

And everyday I'm stepping for you..I'm stepping

Trying to make you proud by not forgetting

You raised me well,and always did your best to pick me up when I fell

Your basically one of the best things that ever happen to me..if you couldn't tell

I love you Mom, and I hope you have an amazing birthday.

No matter how long we are away from each other,we always bond instantly

Thank you for always supporting me,and giving me you all

Your struggle greatly inspired me to do something more..something more for you & my little brothers

You never gave up on us,so we will never give up on you..

Stay strong mom...we love you..

Missing..

picture source

There will only be one me..
And there will only be one you..
They say the world was made for two..
I wonder if you still think it's true..
We watch each other rise..
We see each other fall..
But if we aren't there for each other..
Then whats the point of it all..
Up against the world,we might feel small
But even love from the smallest person can make us feel tall
Nothing set in stone
Hope you never feel alone
It's important to be who you are
Theres a reason why we have no human clones
Drifting far away,away from that zone
Now I'm missing..missing that place called home..

I can hear it in your voice..
You don't sound the same
You sound alot stronger..
Like you stopped holding on to the pain
And I'm so happy for you..
I'm ultimately proud
My heart is beating in a different way..
It's o so loud
I'm painting you a picture..
It's you on top of the world
And you have this smile..this smile no one else could erase
No matter how big or small,I believe we all take up the same space
Nothing more,Nothing less
Whatever the outcome,the world will have to accept your best
Remember not to over work yourself..our souls all need rest..
Find that peaceful place..your happy zone
Now your missing..missing that place called home

Expand your mind
Look for more than you think you will find
Keep yesterday behind
And the ones who doubt you are blind
Your one of a kind
And the world needs kind
Missing that one thing..that use to be mine..

Wise Man..

Hold onto what is true..Never let go of love or you
Hold your head high...do good & don't ask why
Make a wish onto a star..they shine for us every night no matter how dark or how far
These man made mirrors and human eyes..don't do justice or show how truly beautiful you are
Your soul speaks of words our ears are yet to understand
Sometimes we just have to go with our heart,that might just be the best plan
Take a stand...Take a stand
Just where will all our dreams finally land
When its the last of your dying days..could you say you did all that you wanted to do
Can you say you planted your seed of happiness & hope in all your loved ones..and watched it grew
The time only resets..but somehow it still feels new
Sometimes we love the old...sometimes we praise the cold
Sometimes we fear to be bold...But I know theres something we all need..something to hold
Or just to be held..so many different shades of color..but we all bleed red
Living life..until we're dead
When your gone...its all about how you made people feel...not really what you did or said
The lies or truth..which one are we most likely fed
What crosses your mind,before you fall asleep in bed
I hope that someone dreams of you too
A wise man would love you for you
A fool would only love you for what you can do
So just what will you do...
Love yourself first...or let them falsely love you

But someone will be proud of you..
Yes someone will be proud of you..

I believe there will be a time..
When everyone in the world will smile at the same time
When the time will freeze..and they would be no such thing as crime
And all the tears from the past,will add up for future joys
All the kids around the world with nothing..will see a Christmas with plenty warmth & toys
Where screams of joys & cheers is the only noise
Where everyone is in love,so theres no time to hate
And we all live on our time,so you can never be too late
Where only beauty is the only thing we can create
What ever you think in your mind,is what you see on your plate
Just how much can this world take...Pretend everyday is Christmas and give what you can
and be great
I sure whoever is watching over you would really appreciate
We're all wise at times...
We're all fools at times..
But beneath it all
We're all tired of being put behind the blinds
Let the world in..let the sun shine

I know someone will be proud of you...
Yes someone will be proud of you..*

Bright Day

 The time never stops...so why should hope
Life is sometimes hard..the secret is learning how to cope
You have to keep on believing..Even when you feel like your at the end of your rope..

If we could change everything...would anything stay the same?
I've seen the price of love...but the cost of no pain seems so hard to name
Loving with your all,then losing that thing or person...should come with no shame
There always has to be a winner...and a loser...those are just the rules of the game

If you know music,then you should know love..
If you know love,then you should know life..
If you know life,then you should know enough..
Of what the world is missing..and what we need to do to make it right..

What if rain..is just the long lost tears of the sky..
What if the wind is just a long lost lonely spirit passing us by..
What is the sun..was just a million dying stars finally cry..
And the moon..promised to always be there for the sun..until they both decide its time to say goodbye

I think we we're placed here to love,but got tricked into hate
I think if we continue to sleep on life...that we might wake up too late
I think we all have a chance to make it to the golden gates
But it's up to us since we make our own paths..with every single step forward or back we take..

How do we love so much,but only get pain in return
How do we go to school,but its only after hours we learn
How do we spend so much time working,but its barely anything we earn
Why do we let these people continue to take advantage of us...
Why doesn't anyone act like its any of our concern..?

Money comes and goes..
But love only sinks or grows...
Watch what you say,sometimes the silliest things can slip from right under our nose...
Everyone loves the high's...Maybe it's time we learn to enjoyed the lows..

Whats tomorrow without a sense of hope..
Whats today without a hint of love..
Whats yesterday without a bit of memory..
Whats the future without a cloud of mystery...
When you close your eyes...what is it you wish to see
But more importantly when you open them..is that what you see..

I can wish you the best,but only you can make it that way..
The world can give you the sun and the sky,but only you can make it a bright day
So do what you have to..but promise me..you'll have a bright day
