Death In A Breath 2/12



Hatred is terrifying.
Anger is hurt.
People do bad things.
Sometimes deliberately on purpose.
From a rage inside that's been growing.
Its a temperature rising.
With an assault riffle in hand.
Bullets start blazing.
With a hockey mask hiding his face.
Entering a building with one thought in mind.
Kill as many as possible and never look behind.
In moments like these,
People often question.
Come up with their own hypotheses.
Maybe this person is sick in their head.
Maybe their heart is too heavy with dread.
Some just want them dead.
They live with a feeling everyday of being better off dead.
It's hard for me to admit,
I actually can understand this nonsense.
Ive walked in those terrifying shoes.
Wanting revenge on the world,
And its people for what they do to you.
We all may have been born equal.
But that's not how all are treated.
Treated evil.
Some don't mind bullies.
Because its not their kid.
Some don't notice the screaming they hear,
From the little girl down the street being abused and hit.
Some don't notice simply you.
As a person.
A human being with a soul.
With feelings in tact.
Some weren't raised with tools to cope.
There is no normal function.
No typical reaction.
With too much time to think because of being isolated.
Maybe born with a mutation.
Maybe even a beautiful face.
But something that makes them different.
Sour faces are a strong as peppermint.
They start feeling an overwhelming feeling of resentment.
Not just for those they feel have hurt them.
For everyone.
Leaving them in the condemned.
Leading them to their own death.
Laughing and pointing.
Instead of actually knowing.
Or helping.
The entire world starts becoming annoying.
You begin to be forced to live in a world where you don't want to be.
No matter where you turn,
Theres never a release.
Nobody.
Have you ever lived everyday feeling like you're suffocating.
Have you ever looked at another without judgement.
At someone who is different,
But with appreciation?
Probably not.
That's what in my opinion people do bad things to others.
They don't for one second see that they are suffering.
The pain deep within their own eyes.
You don't even notice them as you're walking by.
Keeping your head down.
Looking at your phone.
The ground.
We don't live in this world alone.
Many seem to forget that.
Clearly when the cry is so violent,
They are seeking attention.
Failed by family.
Failed by friends.
Failed by society.
Why would you want to live.
Your only goal is reaching the end.
The end to this horrible fight inside.
So you make the choice that you would rather die.
But then comes anger.
Even for complete strangers.
Feeling as though you shouldn't have had to live this life.
The resentment towards others make you so angry inside.
You want the whole world to die.
To feel the pain that you never wanted.
Having no idea why out of all,
You were chosen to be the haunted.
But haunted by what?
Or maybe that its just you were born with no luck.
A sitting suck.
People cant understand because they either choose not to,
Or they could never understand,
Because that kind of daily pain is something they have never gone through.
Ignorance is not always bliss.
When something so horrible is the outcome of this.
Theres people dying inside everyday that we miss.
That's why its so important to extend a hand.
Approach a stranger.
To give love.
Try to be a loyal friend.
Some people are sadly born into lives where there just is no love.
Without receiving, there is no chance of giving.
No dreams, So there's no believing.
Believing in a better life.
That there actually is a choice.
That you don't have to live in that dark place.
That its ok to use your voice.
I was this troubled kid.
The difference:
I would never think i have a say in who dies and who lives.
I'm thankful I found a few of those hands.
People who do truly love me.
Best friends.
Remember not all are as lucky as we are.
Spending every night,
Peering through a telescope.
Just wishing on stars.
Having little hope.
For a better life.
The struggle is endless.
As they load their riffle.
Desperate for an early end.
They have nothing to lose.
They feel there is no love.
No family.
No friends.
I can only imagine what was going through his head.
Even in the end,
He is left with nothing.
Or nobody.
Hated.
Still.
That's why no matter how desperate,
You don't change Gods will.
No matter how hard it is.
You find a way to fight everyday.
Find courage.
To find the will to live.
Find faith.
In this end,
You might die, Still feeling this way.
But the point is,
By doing such horrific things,
You're left stuck in the middle.
In purgatory.
Going through purification.
You don't win either way.
You have to go so deep inside you're own heart.
Even while searching through the pitch black of the dark.
There seems to be not enough light,
To help you find what you need to end the fight.
I truly believe if you want something bad enough you will find a way.
A solution.
Always.
Find what you need to solve your own problems.
Stop blaming "them".
You can create your own destiny.
You are the only person who can make you happy.
Spend as many days you can laughing.
Keep moving at all costs.
Even if you're crawling.
Believe that there are people who actually do care.
When it comes to life,
Play truth or dare.
Answers to your questions are everywhere.
Instead of focusing on others,
Don't wait for them to care,
Don't worry about your attire.
Your crooked teeth.
Or the length of your hair.
Worry soley about your heart.
Make your best effort to pull it apart.
And then leave it open.
You'd be surprised what is allowed in.
Causing you to grow tremendously.
Personally.
Emotionally.
Physically.
Mentally.
Sometimes as much as you'd like,
You cant save everybody.
Love is locked by hatred.
Understanding is the key.

* There is nothing wrong with professional help. It saved my life.
I don't in anyway agree or support any actions of violence.
Don't be afraid to believe you are worth happiness, love, and living a beautiful life.
Get help if you need it and don't ever be afraid to ask or reach out to someone.

Stranger Or Angel? 8/13



Today is a new beginning.
In every sense.
Funny how a meeting with a stranger,
By chance,
Happens to change your entire life.
Almost like they reached in and gently switched out your eye sight.
Once green.
Now the brightest blue you have ever seen.
Not just your eyes,
Suddenly now everything is different.
Your entire being feels it.
Now breathes it.
See's it.
The true meaning of life that is.
The unappreciated beauty and people.
All around you.
Thing's that sit right in front of your face.
But become opaque because of the disarray.
The chaos of daily life.
Pause.
As often as you can.
And look around.
Block out every sound.
Lift your head from the ground.
The sun can almost always change a frown.
Or lift you up when you're depressed and down.
Even when you see clouds,
Remember not everything is what it seems.
For all you know,
Those clouds are deceiving.
Blocking your dreams from being achieved.
Find your way through them.
Through the fog and through the blur.
Even when you're lost,
Don't feel discouraged.
In those moments,
Stop and remember these strangers.
These Angels.
These electric eyes.
Take a deep breath and refuse to die while still being alive.
There are moments when you need to press pause and find the cause.
To the disarray.
The universe has something It's clearly trying to relay.
9 out of 10 times,
I already know what you're going to find.
What you're going to say.
When you really stop to look at the problems you feel you have,
If you just appreciate the good,
You'll feel a sense of joy and feel overwhelming happy and glad.
I know from experience that wallowing in your own pain,
Leaves you with all these rambling words to say.
Extra un needed heart ache.
At the end of your day,
Look back,
Find the good,
And be appreciative like you should.
Acknowledging pain is necessary.
In the disarray,
You find It's not as bad as it seems.
You'll be ok.
This was just one bad day.
There is things in life we don't have control of.
But some we do.
Nobody is in charge of your life,
But YOU.

The Universe Is Screaming 8/21/13




I step into a safe capsule.
Almost like I'm stepping into your arms.
A place filled with unicorns.
And childhood love.
Things that don't seem to exist when you're an adult.
Something inside scream you were meant from up above.
Something screams at me to chase you.
Love you.
Never leave you.
Despite how painful it ever is.
Something inside tells me this is it.
The missing key to my set.
The person I could never forget.
Because I gave them my entire heart.
There's something invisible that keeps us from parting.
You're the only thing glowing in the dark.
We've missed something.
Or the exact opposite.
It hasn't happened yet.
I knew it the second I looked into your eyes.
When we met when we were ten.
My best friend.
To this day.
After telling you how I really feel at twenty four,
I'm running out of words to say.
It's like getting to the best part of a great book,
Turning the page,
And they are all empty and blank.
Nothing more said.
You have to go back and check for more words another day.
Waiting almost becomes painful and frustrating.
At first Its an adventure.
Almost exciting.
But then day by day,
The light starts to fade.
You'll never make it home before home nightfall.
You're scared.
In the dark.
With no one to call.
No nobody to help.
Challenged with being alone in this terrifying moment.
To see what you're made of.
All of the sudden your own being starts glowing.
Reluctantly you keep walking this path.
Rustling in the bushes brings upon fear.
You're constantly wondering if you should turn back.
But instead you keep walking this dark path.
Eventually you've walked so far there is no point in a return.
This journey,
Changed you inevitably.
Now you just need that key.
For at one point,
You will reach a door.
Hands shaking while you reach for it with keys in hand.
Not sure if you want to open it and see more.
The unknown can be crippling.
One chance.
One life.
With a time frame.
To get it all right.
Because on this dark path,
That's all it takes.
Is one innocent wrong turn.
Now you're walking barefoot.
Straight to a cliff.
For a world of hurt.
When just around the corner behind that door,
Was the person of your dreams.
Waiting.
Glowing.
With a hand extended.
Reaching for yours with the most beautiful smile you've ever seen.
All of the sudden,
Here comes that world of fantasy and make believe.
Like we are avatars.
Living in a dream.
A galaxy.
Away from everyone.
There is no other form of travel.
You've come too far.
When you had opened that door,
EYWA.
The most beautiful light you've ever seen.
In order to experience this,
You in fact have to be dreaming.
Sleeping.
In a catatonic state.
Because by the time you realize Its only a dream,
Suddenly,
Everything changes.
Everything you're seeing.
This beautiful place that you're existing in,
Is being bulldozed.
Clearing ever single tree.
All you want to do is wake up and hit the snooze.
For just five more minutes of this incredible fantasy.
But you cant be late.
Because then you're the one who loses.
Don't wait for fate.

Control Yourself 8/17/13



That moment right before you cry.
Where you can feel right heart aching.
Your breath is fast.
You're panting.
Your eyes start watering.
Uncontrollably because you're so emotional.
Hurt.
Sad.
Mad.
Angry.
Upset.
Alone.
Confused.
Feeling like you've just been physically abused.
Sick.
Ill.
In need of Advil.
For your pounding headache.
Sleep for your heart ache.
Food for your soul.
Friends to console.
In times of need.
When love drops you to your knee's.
In potions where the universe is screaming.
Pray to me.
Believe in me.
Begging for you to listen to your heart.
Even if you are scared.
Walking alone in the cold and in the dark.
No directions.
It seems so long.
So many miles.
So far.
All to have you trip and fall,
Get lost and lose your way.
Your heart is being built like a mosaic.
Sturdy pieces of beautiful glass and tiles.
Representing each time its been broken.
Imagine it in the light.
When its lit up.
So vibrant.
So colorful.
Like rainbows of feelings.
Experiences.
Voices.
Notes.
Float around in your head until you lay down to go to bed.
You're lucky if they even stop then.
I tend to dream.
Fall in love with the make believe.
Just because it exists for some,
Doesn't mean it will exist for you.
Some are different.
It's harder to "fit in".
To find the right fit for the shoe.
I don't know if I ever will.
I don't know if I want to.
Maybe I'm just meant to be free.
From those moments of being dropped to your knees.
Some aren't strong enough.
Rich enough,
To rebuild after the fire.
The blaze.
Things will never be the same.
They'll never be ok.
Everything is charred and ruined from the gallons of water.
Sometimes there is nothing to repair.
You just have to walk away in tears.
Re-build from the ground up.
Call it pessimistic.
I call it realistic.
People are human.
Mistakes are bound.
The repair depends on how profound.
If it tipped your scales to far.
Causing you to crash and burn.
Now there is no trust.
No safe and sound.
You might as well be buried 6 feet deep in the ground.
Dig, claw, climb your way out of there like Its life or death.
Because in fact it is.
You're wasting precious time.
Get out.
Catch your breath.
And run.
Run until you feel like you're having a heart attack.
Never look back.
Find a safe haven to find yourself again.
Don't lose control.
Take control.
Before everything is spinning out of control.
Destined to crash.
If the crash occurs,
Pray for your life.
That you'll be lucky enough to make it out alive.
Still capable of comfortably surviving.

Have A Little Faith 8/13



When it comes to relationships with people,
Magnetic pulls are the most dangerous.
The ones with blind faith and undeserved trust.
You think you're in love.
When all it is in fact, is pure lust.
Your eyes and heart are being filled with stars.
So bright they're reflecting.
All the dreams you've ever believed.
Not for one moment do you think you're being deceived.
Just feeling this love and living this dream.
Without a care.
Without a worry.
Even though lies are methodically slipping out,
Slipping through their teeth.
I'm oblivious because this love has made me naive.
Made me vulnerable and weak.
Dependant on this new best friend.
Sharing personal thoughts, experiences, and wishes.
All to have you disappear.
The shock makes me unable to accept it.
In this second,
In this moment.
No more fields of wildflowers.
Now nothing but anger is growing.
Like a pesky weed.
I feel like I'm on fire.
Like I'm glowing.
Amber orange.
These positive thoughts are being forged.
Playing make believe,
Never ending fairy tales,
And prince charming's,
Leaves you sick, Pale, And frail.
Like you're lucky to find a cure to your rare disease.
In order for your body body to accept it,
It has to fit perfectly or your body will reject it.
Risking death for a chance to live.
Kind of like your fragile heart you choose to willingly give.
Without the guarantee of it being accepted.
Just like with life,
It may be taken for granted.
It may be stolen,
And lost for you to find on purpose.
Because its not about the destination.
Its about the journey.
So be careful what you wish for.
You may just receive.
It could be beautiful.
Or a painful relief.
A lesson meant to teach.
A barrier to breach.
In the middle of a class 5 rapid,
A branch to reach.
To open your eyes.
Appreciate.
That at the end of each day,
You get what you truly need.
Everything's going to be ok.
So if you nothing left.....Keep your faith.
Hold onto a reason to believe.
