Forever Young

Picture source

I take a deep breath & a step back
just because we fall behind,doesn't mean its a set back
whats glory without struggle....whats joy without pain??
whats the point of living life in a negative way..so no one would be able to rejoice your name?
Live it to the fullest,just don't go over the edge
since I know we all have those moments when we just want to quit,close our eyes and walk over that ledge
maybe to see what will happen when your gone
but lets not think that way,lets just replay your favorite song
play it loud,as loud as it can go
and if everybody ask's what your doing
tell them 'making them making the best of things' so thats all they need to know
things go bad for good things to make them better
and we make mistakes today,so that tomorrow we will know better
we can never know it all but thats ok
right....or wrong we all have to pick our own way

Missing all the wonderful times....but I know some will come again
Don't worry about counting your enemies,just worry about keeping count of all your true friends
Maybe I can write you a story
Maybe I can write you a song
But think about it this way...
If we all try and do right....how the hell can anything go wrong
It was to good to be true,.......at least I stayed true,.......what about you?

So Fly

Don't you wish we didn't have to play this game....When you have to act like you don't care....or that the other person is to blame....

Because I've heard a lot of stories...and they all seem to end the same....
With one person left broken....and the other one trying to forget 'whats his/her name....'
Your driving for forever....while they're in the opposite lane...
One speeding for pleasure...one just driving towards pain...
No going back....Karma's the pilot of this plane....
                                   -So Fly-
What's beautiful to me......may be ugly to you....
Rights.......Wrongs.........False............True
Everything is starting to get at me....what I'm I suppose to do?
Give Up........Keep Trying......Leave Something Old.......Find Something New
Stop looking for exits.....And learn how to move through....
One by........One..........Two by...........Two.........
Must of had wings of an angel.........look how fast you flew......
                                   -So Fly-
What goes up,must eventually come down,
by the time that happens,sorry I wont be around,
It will be too late... too late.....but I always wish you the best....be great ....be great....
        -"Nothing lasts forever. Forever's a lie. All we have is what's between hello and goodbye"-

Is It You?...Is it Me?

picture source

Take a step......don't look back......your right......they might......be wrong
The identity......of you letting me......go
Is so misconstrued...that I think of just letting.....you..... go
sometimes....our minds...don't think twice, then.... try to rewind
keep searching for reasons,no one's meant to find
The answer,the key....is it you?is it me?
could it be....that one day freedom for everyone would be free
because I can still see....the lock that humanity has put on you...and me
The words they program us to say...the style they want us to be
Who will stand up....is it you?is it me?
So they use love as a weakness & hate as a weapon,
But we're no better because we play follow the leader without using any discretion,
Not forgetting to mention,that we watch the news on tv but our minds are too distracted to actually pay attention,
So we sit & watch and maybe sometimes pray,
But if you don't promote or take some action today..then what really are you trying to say
Tell me.....no show me instead
Blood inside our veins may be blue...but we still bleed red
I just need some one to say the right words that just haven't been said...
But could you please do it quickly ....before the good in us is dead....
Tell me....no show me instead

Wicked Games

So we're stuck in the same place....with no where left to go,
I'm asking you all the correct questions....but you pretend nothing is wrong & avoid answering so what I'm I missing to know,
You look me in the face & tell me everything is fine,
even though deep inside I counting down the days because I know sooner or later you wont be mine,
Is everything good just meant to turn bad?
Always see smiles on people's faces...but if you look a little bit closer you can see their really sad
I tell you to close your eyes,open your heart & tell me what you see,
whatever it is...I would go to any degree just to get it for you...just to make you happy
What  I'm trying to tell you...is something you really need to hear,
Sad,but still true....it like I'm the only one that really seems to care
Shot to the heart....stabbed in the back,
when it's from the one you love...how the hell are you suppose to react?
I put it all on the line...my heart,my mind,my soul,
And the only thing you have to give...is that giant black hole....in your heart,
it's already starting to rip us apart,saying you don't want to live a life unnoticed..but I don't think this is how you really want to leave a mark,
If takes half as much to be a believer than to be an achiever,
Just because she says she loves you...doesn't mean it's smart to actually believe her
Sad to see that many people fail to be real with themselves...
Now I just wonder when you look in the mirror..'Can/Do You Even See Yourself'..
Give me a chance & I will change how you feel...

what to do?what to say?
it only makes sense that we were given a heart to give love away
I always do my best...to keep you from doing your worse,
I guess this ability to have empathy for others is starting to feel like a curse...
But I still seem to try....is love to blame or I'm I crazy...either way I don't know why,
So I just drift,drift,drift away until I am no more,
Guess you can never be completely fixed once you've been broken from the core,
we should be defined for who we are.not what we do,
never judge a person by their actions without trying to get to know them first...since you don't have the slightest clue what they might have been through,

Trust Issues...

picture source

If you have never been in the dark,then how would you know to appreciate light?

And if anything hasn't gone wrong....how would you know when they're right?

I don't want to be heartless....I just wish I knew how to use my heart less,
because through the structure of things,I've ended up with this heart mess...
You can never completely fix something once it's been broken,
But you will never know whats behind that closed door,if you don't use your courage to make it open,
Any step forward,Is a step in the right direction,
And we are able to make mistakes in life,so we can show ourselves that we are strong enough to correct them,
Never let anyone hold you down...and as God as my witness I promise to never let you drown,
Because sometimes it feels like the rain is pouring down and it's never going to stop,
Or like your always stuck between a hard place & a rock,
You will get out that hard place eventually....believe in yourself to find the key,
Then everything will open.....maybe you just need to look harder because I promise you the signs are showing...

I can see myself not trusting myself,because I followed my heart and look where I got myself,

A place where is broken and so low, I do my best to hide it in person,but in my poems they always show,

As I look at all these pictures and start to miss all the people I've ever met,Their is a part of me that is full of regret,So how I'm suppose to move forward?When I don't know where is the best place to take my next step?

I feel like we are here for one reason and that is to love...Love in silence or Love in words either way as long as you both feel it...the important thing is your love is being heard,

Your the only one...since I don't trust these....

Singing from the heart,so tell me if you hear me,

I can see people nearby but still cant feel anyone near me,

Sometimes I sit & wonder whats it going to take to make all our dreams come true,

then the answer fell from the sky...it isn't much....just takes you to believe in you,

So thats what I hope you do,because me believing in you is nothing new,

Looking for some things,and I think that I can find them in you

 Times moving fast,life's moving slow

wish there was a safe place,for me to let all this go....

I remembered everything I was trying to forget,

Feeling like I was almost there...guess not yet...

The bad choices seem to over shadow the good ones I make,

Thankfully I always have my real friends who always outnumber the fake,

So hard to find that one person who can be real with you,

Since even when you find them,look at all the difficulties the world decides to put you through,

When you give someone everything,you have to be careful since you can be left with nothing...

The nights start feeling uneasy...the restless times seem to never end,

I keep telling myself I'm happy...but whats the point of me trying to pretend,

Holding on to something that maybe we should of let go,but its worth the chance because when its all said and done in the end we may never know,

A place where two hearts have never been,feeling like we have been in heaven even though we decide to live in sin,

They say what they want....they can never know the real you & I,bounced back from the lowest of lows...to the highest of highs,

Nothing worse then the sound of a goodbye....

Or hearing that sorry, your too much of a nice guy

Nothing good about saying bye to one you love so it's more like a bad-bye...

Or knowing that she will probably end up with the wrong guy....

Help From Above

The hopes,the wishes...The love,the hate...The highs,the lows...The dark,the light,
A moment where we can peacefully sleep forever,or where we just constantly keep ourselves up at night..

The loud,the quiet....The sad,the happy....The sometimes,the always,...The rich,the poor,
I say it all the time,we are constantly in battle with each other or ourselves...so everyday what are you standing/fighting for?

A marriage,a divorce...A fall,a climb...A room full of clocks,a place of timeless time,
We all have a purpose...A meaning...or at least a story to tell,so just always keep that in mind

A opening,a closing...A wrong,a right...A sun,a moon...A beginning,a end,
Even if you had all the love,money & objects in the world....what would you do with it then?

Too much pain,not enough joy...Too much talk,not enough action...Too much murders,not enough successful births,
They say 'don't worry about things too much,your young,you have your whole life ahead of you ' but what about for the little ones who are suffering right now...how does that work?

Too much time,not enough done...Too much power,not enough help...Too much fear,not enough love,

I cant do this alone anymore...so I gaze into the stars,with my current state of mind...and hope...,I receive some help from above
