"Who Decided?"


Who decided that the world should only be taught in black and white?
When there is already too many unfortunate shades of gray...
Who made the rules that we follow?
Our true concern should not be about breaking them
But doing our best to change them
So what happens if we colour outside the lines?
What if some of us don't fit inside a neat and tidy little box?
What label, tittle, or header do each and everyone of us fall under anyways?
What if we paint with all of the vibrant colours of the rainbow?
As everyone in life should...
Why should we be afraid of ourselves?
Why don't we cherish uniqueness as much as we do sameness?
They always say knowledge is power
But why do some of us choose to stop learning things beyond our line of sight?
Why do we let hate carry such force?
And why does compromise become the last option every time when it should be the first?
Who decided?
You?

"Who We Are"


Footsteps that falter
Or the wrong ones taken
Serve as lessons learned
Experiences gained
Just because you stumbled upon the path of life
Does not mean that this is your last step taken
Falling down is a part of life
Getting back up is living
A mistake should be our teacher
Not an anchor holding us still
Let it be a temporary detour on the road ahead
Not a dead end
Because happiness is a feeling
Actions...
A choice made...
And a journey to experience and achieve.

"Cost Of Reflection"



Those moments...
The bitter taste of all that was
Cause words to escape from my lips
Wondering if the right decisions were made
I guess that is where regret usually begins
Visions of memories reflected upon
Plague the minds eye
Empty space within my heart call with longing
The fire within burns with conflict
Because in the end...
I could not afford the cost of loving you
In this hour of time
I break my steadfast resolve
That missing you comes in waves...
And right now...
I am drowning.

"Following Angels"




Head hung low in mourning
The wave of deep sadness washes over you
Slow at first...
Then to a steady surging stream of emotions flow
The realization builds with every beat of the heart
That devastation is no longer a word
It now has taken up residence within you
And has borrowed your name
Through whispered pieces of broken prayer
You filter through memories...
For all the moments lost
And the ones that will never be made
Wishing time could reverse
You would go back
And do so much more...
But in the searching of the time line of life
Unknown to you, a certainty holds you
Faith keeps you moving
And hope holds you
Just because the one you loved is now out of sight
Does not mean they can be or will ever be erased from your mind
Because they are with you
Watching all of us from the heavens
Those whom we love and lost...
Are no longer where they were before in our lives
Because they are now wherever we are
Carried within our being
Until we all meet again in that divine place above
When angles lead us in.

"Memories Of A Stranger"



Confusion and doubt
The greatest plague of the mind
Jagged tears burn the eyes
Its a weird feeling...
When you realize the person you once told everything to
Now has no idea what is happening in your life...
Friends to strangers
Disconnect of communication
Leads you blindly forth
The claim to right leaves another wrong
And lines are drawn
Good people give you happiness
Bad give you experiences and lessons learned
The best kind of people give you memories
The ones that sometimes bring you tears when remembered
Breaking the promise made
A constant battle had
To also remember...
To forget today.

"A Problem With Memory"




Memories scream...
Trembling hands attempt to hold on
Embracing the pieces that remain
Thoughts refuse to connect
Abandoned and lost within the moments
Because sometimes its not that people change
Its that the mask falls off...
You had me with your words, but lost me with your actions
I walked away because you were to busy finding faults in me...
All the while I was busy over looking yours
So stop asking my heart to trust you again
For I am still coughing up water...
From the last time you let me drown.

"A Door Into The Dark"




This is us...
Standing together alone
In the same place
But unfortunately, not upon the same page
Related by thought
Held together by emotion
An unseen bond
With a longing that has grown
Between the lines and words not spoken
Stolen glances add together
Body language speaks volumes and conversations
I believe in the moment
The connection that has come naturally
I reach out...
Even though hesitation lingers within your hands
Scared are the actions you wish to take
The story is told by the deep pain within your eyes
I see the true you...
That is why I am still here
Holding out hope
A promise made
To be that light you seek...
