"Beyond Here and Now"

With lips quivering

You ask...

Please hold me tight

Embrace me like never before

I feel so lost...

Some days emotions almost consume me

Because how do you carry the weight of the entire world

When you only have to hands?

I try my best to tell you that life is a balance

Positive

Negative

Happy

Sad...

Maybe you spend more time on one side than the other

But life is full of change

The hands of time are always moving

Sometimes, dreams are not made, but won

There will be times, what comes to pass is not what you envisioned for yourself

But it ends up being better than what you could have asked for

Smile at the fact that I get to see the real you

And it doesn't scare me

It makes me want to embrace you

Remembering always

That there is a world beyond these difficult moments that hold you here and now

And its called life.

"Inspire Me"

Like anything new in life

You're cautious

You warn yourself

Trying to prepare for anything and everything

You anticipate the new moments

The rush of excitement

You wait upon baited breath

As you exist through your senses

Within every vibrant moment

Because there is no better feeling

Than meeting some one new

Who leaves you inspired.

"Between The Moments"

Not to many things in life are clear cut

Many are faded

Blacked out

They scream to be unearthed

While others have sprung forth to the light

Basking in the open air

Taking in the full range of life’s emotions

Life is complicated

We cannot avoid it by not living

The fear of love should not prevent you from feeling it

Yes, there are simple moments

Embraced with tenderness

Enforced by warmth, pure joy, and laughter that holds you

But if the world was all that easy

It wouldn't be the reality we know

And honestly, I don't think it would be worth living

So when words can't be spoken

Let actions speak for you

Simply try to do your best

Because when communication falls

No one likes to be abandoned

Or left behind

And no one likes that feeling of hunting someone down

When they are doing nothing to be found

So be here

Now

We are this moment

As hard as it is

Live it

Because life is filled to the brim with so many different moments

And some of them can happen so suddenly

That they take your breath away.
