"For You..."

People are not the subtotal of what we see...

Good intentions in thought

May not translate well when put into action...

Its that dream we all have

Time to time...

Or every night

When you try to run away

But your feet are frozen to the ground

Or when you part your lips to scream

But cannot...

You use to try...

To speak up

Act out

But there is nothing...

Silence embraces you

I am here by your side to remind you

Maybe that future that you seek and hold onto

Is so unclear for the simple fact that it has not been written yet

Anything can happen

Because nothing happens all the time

Stand firm to your convictions

Because if we weren't so afraid to let go

Then we wouldn't feel so free when we finally did.

"Brave Heart"

Sometimes...

Some thoughts seem so foreign

Because they enter your head so automatically

Your first thought is to fight it

Because when some words don't seem like enough

Maybe it simply means you have more to say with others

Sadness...

Loneliness...

Pain...

Depression...

Can be skillfully covered up by a smile

Hidden from the all knowing eye

But brave are those souls who open their lives and hearts to others

Its an honored gift to receive

Proud is the friendship that holds such precious council

Shift your view

Realign your choices

Mix the sentences together

Search for a new outcome

Another meaning hidden there

Maybe its not darkness in your heart

Maybe its the past finally leaving you at peace

Creating an emptiness to be filled up with new life

And the warmth of the sun light.

"Identity"

There is already enough sadness and dramatics in the world without adding to it

We all suffer form the universal struggle for an authentic life

In the search for identity

And the importance of making a commitment to our life is so great

We may lose ourselves a little along the way

Because life is not only about finding ourselves

Its about creating ones self

Many times over we could have quit

Given it all up

Accepted the darkness

And taking less than what we deserve

Surrendering to the void

Yet we fight...

The choice is survival

Following that flame deep inside us

That never burns out

Our actions and choices are the pen we use to write our lives upon the pages of history

We are not the sum of our wrong choices made

Words from one moment to the next should be just that

New ones have yet to find your voice

So remember always...

With all of your being...

Don't let who you are define you

Or confine you

We are only human

You are not alone

You deserve to be happy

For love is a human right

So love yourself first

And without any question.
