"The Line Of Life"


We are the sum of all the multiple choices we make
Some day to day
Others for survival...
A few others are not so easy...
The daily grind can hit you hard
A few steps may turn into a climb
Footsteps may falter
When your pushed and pulled to the brink of madness
The edge of no where appears
Numb to the core
And a cure seems so out of reach
You will grasp onto anything to calm the emotional hurricane raging within
As you desperately look for a mast to anchor yourself to
To throw a block underneath you
Anything to stop the erosion
With remembrance and survival in the fore front of your mind
Life is worth the fight
Let the guardian angel above you embrace you
And the devil within release you
Be part of the many movements that are life
Around your heart is where you should draw the line
A safe guard, just in case
Though be forever mindful not to put more barriers or road blocks in the way
Be proud of the person you know yourself to be
Please do not hate yourself to be loved by another
Because if you leave life to others to live
Happiness will be forever fleeting
Fix and create your own
And you will know the path to take
Learning some of the life lessons you need to know along the way
We are all stories in the book of life
Think of how you would like your life to be told
And to be read.

"Ever Mindful"


The day is done
The sun has set
Time for me to rest my weary head
My mind drifts over the many moments of the day
Lost in reflection...
Many things come to mind
Both in realization
And thought
Somethings happen for us
Others happen against us
There are so many things I know for certain
With no doubt or fear
I am proud of the person I know myself to be
I have passion
I have reason
We all keep certain parts of ourselves hidden
Secrets locked away deep within
Sometimes there are very select few who actually get to see all of us entirely
Hence why we must manage our choices with care
How they affect ourselves
And how they affect others...
To be ever mindful with remembrance
As yesterday becomes today
Today is another day awaiting to be lived
And tomorrow is where more memories can be made.

"Becasue We Care"



Sometimes silence can be the loudest sound
We can either hide in the shadows
Or put forth a fight
Standing in the light...
We are the keeper of that choice
Sometimes all we can ever do is be present
Be there for a person
Because there are things in life that we do automatically for others
Not for reward, special treatment, personal gain, or even asking for something in return
We do things for others because its the human thing to do
Its the right thing to do...
And we do it because we care
So reach out
Hold onto those who are near
Friendship is the bond that helps keep us sane
Saving us from a many of things in life
Be forever mindful
Always.

"Weight Of Life"



We all hide something deep within us
Sometimes its from others
Or its from ourselves
It may carry a deep truth that we are not ready to hear
Even though we bear the heavy weight upon our shoulders
We endure...
Is it fear that drives us?
Or is it something more
Whether its past or present
Life cannot be avoided
For it is for the living
A decision has to be made
Are you hiding?
Or existing?

"Last Interaction"


Moments have come and passed
The months have been counted
My steps have moved forward
Letting what has been fade into the rear view mirror of life
Change has come
Time has found me here
With strength
And the will of survival
It took me a long time to move passed “us”
Even longer to pick myself up from the place you left me...
Some times we only have one chance to do things right
And when things fail...
A marker is made in history
Never to repeat those feelings and emotions again
We all unfortunately except the love we think we deserve
Rather than what we actually need
We are not perfect people...
Hence why we are always continued works in progress
From love...
To something once treasured...
You are now nothing more than a fellow traveler in life
And honestly, I wish you well
Making this our last interaction
Heed this realization with thought
Take with you the wisdom in these words...
Choices are options...
Making decisions is reality...
Finality...
Life.

"Found Proud"


Though darkness has found you
These are merely moments in time
And they to
Like all moments...
Shall pass
For I believe in you as you do in me
You have the light within you to fight the shadows
Everyone makes mistakes
Sometimes the same ones more than once
But we all learn eventually and move on
And everyone else can hopefully move forward with us
Or they will find themselves part of the past where we no longer live
So be proud of the person I know you to be.

"Matter Of Life"


All in a matter of moments
Everything in life fell
Striking suddenly
As fast as lightening
And as quick as an exhaled breath
Thoughts now stand dark
Years worth of memories stream down your cheek
Tears wash through the ruins of what use to be
Numbing the senses
Stripped bare
The sweetest kiss now rots in your mouth
You pray for your cause
To find the path your feet may take next
Everything is here and now
In this moment of living
Nothing reminds you more of existence than this
That getting the life kicked out of your lungs
Shows them how much they love the sweet taste of air
In hope there is belief
Belief breeds conviction
Fight back against the darkness and shadows 
With the light carried within you
