"Surviving the Odds"





Sometimes in this life we live through things that no one should ever have too...
In this world, life asks of us only what it thinks we can handle
No one can live their life by trying to fix the past
What is behind us now are but tiny matters
We all reside in the present-here and now
Not only do we need to live every single moment of our life, we need to do our best to exist
It can become so incredibly hard when we live our lives in doubt
Second guessing is no way to live
In this life we do what we have to do to believe in ourselves
Nothing in this world can compare to what lies within us
Even when the person we want to be, no one else can see
We must do our best to remember that the walls and boundaries that we put up around ourselves don't just keep others out, they fence us in...
Its always a hard choice when your struggling with how to decide between what is right, and what is easy
The truth is something that can't be forgotten
The truth doesn't have versions, only absolutes
Too easily do we let the negative out weigh the positive
We are always mourning the losses, because they are many
More importantly, we need to celebrate the victories, because they are few
We all have the right to be different, to not be like everyone else
We shouldn't have to live our lives as explanations, but as exclamations
Sometimes in life we live through things just to say that they happened
Sometimes we survive...
Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

"Where I'm Found"


Slowly, my thoughts drift with the clouds above
A calming peace has found me
Moments slip from one to the next without much notice
My minds eye has random images of times past, present, and several things that have yet to be
My heart beat marches me forward
Step by step I make my own life
Building everything from something
A life worth living
A being I am truly proud of
Because I am not ashamed of who I am
Happiness has finally found my heart
My soul has found its wings
And I've learned how to fly...
Friendship embraces me
Convictions hold me
And most important...
I believe...

"Memory Reflection"



In the coolness of the evening
My mind is lost in deep reflection
The grass is heavy with the beads of dew
Fireflies flicker in the humid fog
A million stars burst out from the deep velvet sky
Simply blinking and twinkling away
The hours passed whisper to the ones of tomorrow
My heart is happy
Content in these found moments
And my mind is filled to the brim with new and exciting memories
As the hour grows late, my eyes weigh heavy
Sleep calls me sweetly
Tender warm comfort calls to me to the embrace of my bed
Where more chances to dream still await...

"Beyond Resolve"




The trail of friendship grows cold in the shadows of all things that have come to pass
You are no longer the person I once knew
Guard to my secrets and a protector to my well being
Life has anchored you down into a rut of your own making
Causing you to make choices out of want, rather than need
No longer can I stand idly by holding your hand
Keeping our friendship true
Because for you, somewhere along the line
The importance of me ceased to matter to you a little less each passing day
And after waiting for far to long...
It is my every right to deserve better than this
Instead of the anger that I now hold
I've whispered, screamed, and yelled my discomfort
But your headless ears have not listened to me yet...
A film of sadness holds my heart
My explanations have been given
But no rhyme or reason as to why has fallen from your lips
Distractions hold your wandering eyes
And I fear that I am no longer a big enough person to carry the burden chained to me
Choices have been made
And it takes two...
But being left abandon I will have to come up with my own resolve
I've said it once, and I will say it again
I no longer know the person I once knew
And the stranger before me is asking to much
With bonds broken
Treasured friendship is lost
Everything stolen...
Choices and actions have there own consequences
I am proof of this...
And still with no apology of validation made
I don't forgive the acts taken against me
Because you cannot convince me anymore that you truly care
That is why sympathy is always given
It can never be asked for.
