Everywhere I look around craving inspiration wanting to make good use of myself Left Right Up Down Where can it be found ? The smaller elements in this extravagant life makes a difference

I see it over there on the horizon and dread what it is to come. Knowing there is no escaping makes me feel all numb. Oh why on why do I feel this way, I thought I got help.
Coming up to 7 years of age was a magical time. We smiled, laughed, and life sailed swiftly by. Getting to the old age of 8 saw a massive change ahead. My guardian angel was often missing, replaced with an absent father,
    Dear Ray,  When I think of your name I think of a Ray of sunshine.. It was the one Ray I needed to blind me from my past. You’ve  changed my life for the better, no one deserves to be
Depression is a selfish illness in that it makes you think  solely about one thing; Oneself.  You try in vain to conquer these demons yet find it does little to  help.
I’m not feeling sad today   And the roses are blooming   And the sky holds white mountains called clouds   And there is laughter in my belly and through these halls  
Girl, with each moment that we share We cherish everything The magic is in the air It is the bliss that we both bring With each tender kiss We both feel the fire We lift one another up
Predicaments and foresight, They say it’s possible, right? It’s weird, I’m now carefree, Did my luck change, or is it just me?
Love, What is love? The autum leaves dropping? The soaring birds flocking? I think not. Love is an emotion. Not something you can drink like a potion...
A tree stands still.  It grows from a seedling, A small little thing destined to be something great.     A tree stands still.  Waiting for it's turn to shine. 
I watch the birds fly above me, Feeling left out and alone.  So when you choose to fly around me,  I suddenly feel I belong.   You float by gently capturing my attention, Beautiful as my favorite song,
Girl, with every little step We both enjoy this journey together Our hearts have become one Let this courtship be forever We brighten each other's day We both feel that fire Nothing but a beautiful scenery
When they ask you to, you turn on a fluorescent bulb: an artificial mockery of healing light bright but not alive like flame or stars (which are only flame anyways, I suppose)  
Girl, it is simply up to us We share our lives with one another We pick each other up We strive and shine together Nothing will come between us There is joy and sunshine As we sail together on the sea
Girl, with every little step Together, we build our confidence As each day passes along We cherish our togetherness We share and care deeply Together, we make everything bright We walk hand in hand
I took a poetry class for the first time when I was 21 in my last year of college.   And it felt like the first time I swam when I was seven on the last day of swim class.  
Words falling off the page Undone beds and ticking clocks When will it stop? Blurry faces passing by Inkless pens and endless stories Which one is mine? Always chasing after the moon

There once was a boy who crushed on a girl, He wanted to give her the whole wide world. Each time she spoke his head was in a whirl,
Since the beginning of my teenage years, I was a glass cup under a constant running tap-I was constantly overflowing with emotions.
he asks me, “what has poetry taught  you? why is it so important?”   i ponder the question for a moment and  think about the women who  came before me, the poets who have inspired my
I’ve been writing this poem for a month,  I don’t know how to tell you what  This has done for me without also sounding Out of breath,  But last week, I wrote 3 poems and not one of them 
Girl, together we can make it Our hearts beat as one It is strictly about us We have so much fun We share and care about one another Moments will come and go Together, we shine bright
I use my words, someone’s words,  for I of course did not create the language; to make a story, a tragedy, that drips off the reader’s lips like honey when they read... if they ever read. 
Bruises of words blue and black Pain, and disregard, and bleeding attacks So I come to Lines of words white on black Ambrosia and nectar for scars Sketched in the mind On the sky, stars
I always felt that my Words, Thoughts, Feelings, Were choked by my brain. Chained by my heart. Jailed by my lips. Until I heard the reverberated echo caused by poetry. There was a hum
Poetry has taught me how to write to escape the world and problems that seem unbearable. It has taught me to turn them into thoughts and feelings of beauty. Shedding away their misery, along a sea of glass.
A break from heart-acheAn escape from realityAn emotional pause,Or to set a break-down free
My emotions belong in a cage, Eventually, slowly, hesitantly plotting a war to wage. If I ever let them show, let them out, they’ll raise hell, For the vultures, they ring the dinner bell,
Lead boots stomp,   Dust landing on nothing,  And everything all at once, Intertwined pieces of self,  No longer connected at the seams,  Unravelling persona,  Cracking through shaky wooden beams, 
The emotions forming within me need some form of releaseSwirling, seething, the anxious beast lurks beneathTo bury inside what needs to come out, it is a dangerous feat nonetheless
Tax
People don't see the importance of self-tax Instead, they see anyone and become lax They don't pay attention to the signs you need They become one with the Devil's creed   You see this happen everyday
Girl, even though we are apart Thoughts of you linger in my mind Your gentle loving touch Is tender, peachy, and kind Your beautiful smile Can light up the night stars You have a wonderful personality
You walked up the driveway Lugging your suitcase behind You never emitted a word of pain
As I make my journey goals ahead, pushing through, I take the time to reflect, I take the time to make some sense of all that I have become.   What has brought me here
Girl, we have each other It is just us two Together, we care for one another As we guide our way through Our love is pure and true Our hearts beat as one Let nature take its course
Life with its bountiful ups and downs, and times of excitement and fear,  will always get better. For poetry is a path, an unobtrusive outlet, that emancipates negativity, including all its effects,
Work rhymes with jerk. Work also rhymes with berserk. It is the strangest coincidence that a mind going berserk and acting like a jerk are both products of work.
The reminder of heartbreak comes, I am sad when life is good, its good to me and everything that was bad is only, a mystery but when the dark clouds roll in i start to shiver within my skin
I need a job I need a life I need you   Far from perfect we are born With some of us feeling more privileged than others The one commonality we share is disappointment  
Girl, when we lay together underneath the moonlight We take each other higher With every precious kiss We both feel the fire Our hearts beat together as one There is a heavenly bliss
I was happy But I was happy With you I didn’t realize I was unhappy
This i do not have Happiness i cant find Will I ever become happy I think i am blind   Theres no such thing To me it doesnt exist in the world  Is anyone really happy

The soft breeze, the natural air, it's amazing. It's like it's making love to me. Saying it loves me, and cuddling with me. While the windy noises puts me to sleep, giving me a comfortable feeling.
Ugly, something everyone says to me. As I’ve grown up  over the years, it has made many comebacks. The word, that’s been said to me over and over again has now made me stronger.
It was dark And gloomy A drip drip dripping noise In the eerie silence A frail body
Momma used to say, Robins only come when the rain goes away.   I used to look out the dust ice carved windows, Holding close to me the warmth of my blankets and pillows.   The waiting seemed endless,
All I wanted... I’m just tryna make it through I’m just tryna make a better way  I’m just trying to see you through Nobody knew the pain, all they seen is what they wanted
Girl, we both lift each other up Our courtship is captivating Together, we both make our love shine It is generating and radiating Everyday we motivate one other To give it our best
A group of  fools spinning round in a toilet bowl. Lost with them all in a black hole. No worry and no hurry, we're headed into the abyss for a euphoric reason. Inhale the trees

I didn't know I could fly until the paper looked back at me and I realized that the words  were telling me that I could fix myself I could smile I could be happy I could and will
this mind soars amongst many dreams   and they come in such excess in such a multitude

People all over the world are dying. Their prayers and hopes turn into crying. Turn on the news and what do we see but another catastrophe, now multiplied by three. Seeing talks of nothing but things like war.
Girl, you are always a beauty Lovely and enchanting You possess a wonderful personality It is captivating You are a soul that is pure You are the beacon of light Be the inspiration
Today focus on you, focus on what you think about when you close your eyes for even a half a second.    Today experience life with the mentality that no one can possibly take your shine, your light, your soul.   
I vanished for a while Tried to get my shit together Then came all the cloudy weather Making me decide wether or not to come back But here I am And in the end I have my friends
Speak softly into the chambers of my heart. Never let go as you kindle me like a fire on a frigidly cold winter night.   Touching your raven black hair, running my fingers through like a comb.
How well do you know her? Is he suffering? Would you know? How did we get here? In this cruel world, Where happiness is the most we can wish for? Will we ever recover?
"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality." -Carl Sagan I was a strict stripling. I stood for the stars and stripes, Be them still or rippling.
You hurt me! Surely you can imagine That ghastly, glorious surprise -- Occam's razor sliced through faith's abdomen, And ushered in its final demise. Should I curse or thank you?
I was buzzed on your brain, Hearing your thoughts from far away. It's a wonder that your head can contain Notions of such a vast array.
Quiet is a scream Louder than a cry Creeping is silence Asking us why   Quiet is a shred Not yet a a thread

Sometimes I want to be dead, But usually, I don't.  After all, it's all in my head,  So, of course, I certainly won't. But I don't want to be alive, At least not alive like this.
And they speak of age – the elder years.   It’s always tomorrow. And tomorrow has not settled. Now, Darkness, woe, and failure stench abound.

I may be lonely, but I'm not alone I may not be liked, but I'm loved I may not be remembered, but I am not forgotten I may be sad, but I have joy I may not have any friends, but I got Friends
Life is coffee. Dark, bitter, sallow. Each new sight I see Makes me feel callow. Yet it'll get me through this. Today it grants me energy. It'll dissipate lethargy, So I will accept it as it is.
 Is it better to know or be known? If it is knowledge that is power, which realm does one call home? It is fair to say, even though very cliche, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
today i smile because      for years  i have denied who  i am today i smile because  i was scared to come out today i smile because  i was too proud to admit mom was right today i smile because
What worlds lie behind our reflection What variegated beings dance among our fate What truth is there in resurection What love lies amidst delphic hate
Girl, here we are together Laying underneath the moonlight Cuddling with each other A tender moment that feels so right The passion and heat between us Brightens our world greatly
Says the physicist in his freewheeling calculation, Peering through nature, he develops his approximation. It is an art to solve problems; Through his eyes, life is far from humdrum.
You know not what you say, Nor how it brightens my day. You speak to me in mere jest, But my time you fill with zest. Don't misunderstand me; I'm not in love. I just enjoy friendly company
I promise you I will work until the earth has shriveled into a husk, I will in earnest devote every hour of my life from dawn until dusk To that cause you praise and sing and venerate.
I thought without him, I'd die I thought only with him, could I fly But as I wiped the tears from my eyes It all came as a big surprise I felt okay The faucet behind my eyes cut off

Dear Father,    I guess you were the onewho was supposed to show me how this works.The ins and outs of love,living, learning, and putting my happiness first.

Dear Adventurer,    As you reach the Forests, The greatest challenges await Tests of your true self And desire to adhere to the path.   The trees' darkness emanates with pressure
Him
He has many flaws, and i know that, but he's him, and i love him. He makes me happy inside and out,  The kind of happy you see in childrens books. I never do this you know, but he's different, oh so different.
Dear myself four years prior, a time oh so dire. Acceptance and status were key.     If I could turn back the clock-
I’m a Teenager.  
Girl, the truth of the matter is Is that we need one another With every hug and kiss We both comfort each other Our love is pure and true Together, we make our own sunshine We lead ourselves to the light
It was your toxic love that made me grow It was your toxic love that showed me the warmth hidden in winter And the chills from the summer It was your toxic love that made my tears break free  And your empty words 
Dear Happiness,   Why do you cease to exist and yet are eternally present at the same time?   What is the reason that you are far away
Dear You,   Do you remember the way we used to be? I don't, not anymore. Now, I find myself staring at old photos, asking who you were. I remember the days before the separate houses,
Dear Love,I know you will come somedayBut it's hard to wait for you.I know I will be happy somedayBut it's hard to see that now.
Don't blame love for pain  Don't expect love to always bring happiness Don't run from love    When you have love, Cherish it When you are without it, Seek it  
Made me feel like  I was being caught in the rain. Slow scattered drops of water,  Cool on a warm day,  Sent Worry and Desire on a race.  Should I run or watch what happens?  
O, for my sole comfort in the night, Yet it is, at times, the one that causes me the fright. Nevertheless, it is my only solace when I am afraid;
I am from hope, From completely preposterous, to entirely understated... I am from where giving up does not exist,
You take it all, my love is simply yours to take you frightened me, stripping me bare heed not, for I am not freed from this heartbreak "But I love you, it's true" you swear.

Monday was dreadful. Slumped over on his desk as regret stirs up in the pits of his stomach and yet it was only 7:05 am. Going over his what-ifs, should-haves, and buts.
You won't believe me if I told you Your life is nothing but a dream walking in complete darkness it's your job to paint your life !
No space between, at least not seen,A gleaming gild shines there.A golden scent from air is lent,The heavenly pools in pair.
Teardrop smile,She rolls with grace.Sad.Happy.Angry even.It rolls with grace,Your teardrop smile.
It was when the happiness was abundant in life. It was when all I needed to be happy were some toys.   It was when the bad people only existed on Superman.
Here today, standing at the beginning of a new year, when I look back, for the first time in my life,   I don't see any regrets. I don't see any worthless pain. I don't see any failures.  
You are one of a kind that is hard to find. Nobody has a smile like you, always vibrant and cheerful,
This morning, I noticed something I have such beautiful eyes Which is weird I've never been happy with them Nor sad either I haven't felt any sort of feeling with my eyes Until I looked the mirror
“I don’t believe in heaven” These words fall with a tremor from my fingers to the keys And will eventually stumble from my lips to your ears It’s the unfortunate truth:
Youth comes with curiosity and opportunities, Age comes with knowledge and understanding, But even then there is still no age limit to find true happiness...  
Dear everyone, someone, anyone who will listen, Does the darkness scare you too? As its cold stare freezes your body; motionless. Its been around so long, I consider it a friend.
I need closure.   Set some things straight.   I was insecure and vulnerable, and no, I don't want to go on a date.   Why do you taunt me?    Stupid, silly, fate.  
Girl, with every tender embrace There is magic in the air With the two of us together The pathway is now clear The brightness of the sun Shines that guiding light Nature is taking its course here
I have dreamed of it, A warm, tender embrace with a lover I cannot see. Sweet whispers  flow from his mouth like honey, filling my soul with joy beyond measure.
There is history in light. A
 story written on everything
 it touches; perhaps I want to feel it and let my body yearn to remember you in the morning 
like a sunburn.  
It’s that single moment where everythinggoes numbgoes blankgoes vapidgoes cold
Dear Hands, I’m sorry for how I used to treat you, Like disposable gloves. Creating permanent reminders of what has been and was.
Dear Me, You were so young. Innocent and smart Now everytime I see you,  it's like your lost in the dark.    She was your light She guided you in the darkest of times
Back and forth, we talk everyday, yet, I wish to be closer with you in every way. For the past six months, we have built a bridge,  of happiness and love, and more than a smidge.

Dear Loneliness,   I remember how you came into my life at the age of nine When all my friends stood together at the front of the lunch line  
Dear Me From Last Year,   hi. yes, it's you. this seems strange. i am aware. but do not be afraid; i bring good news. you see,  you have things that are waiting on you;
  For a moment I heard your voice, for a moment time stopped just so I could notice you. You’ve changed so much, it’s clear that everything between us is now different.  
I often wonder, Why are we here, Are we born just to die, If so why, Why is dying the only guarantee in life, Is there life after death, All of this begs the question...
Show strength when fear is strongest Have patience when the struggle is longest Show love when hate is spewn For happiness will follow soon
Lazy rain patters on the rooftop Drops roll down the glass window A room - dimly lit and cool A tea kettle whispers slow   Through the window streams
dear boy i almost gave everything to, i am not a glistening bar of solid authentic gold, i am not a crystal clear 50 karat diamond, i am not a smooth pearl that shimmers in the sun.   i am a ruby.

What is happiness? By: Madalyne Gonzalez   There are so many people who focus only on the negative At moments, it gets kind of repetitive When negativity is all that you see
My Daughter Dearest,   I hope your life has been different than mine Without worry, misfortune, or grief I hope love, joy, and you are entwined
Through the Years
I know your brain is wired in a way that makes you think everybody within a 3 mile radius hates you, is annoyed by you or thinks you’re a lazy cow.  
Do not say anything, Not even a word. Even if you want me to, I connot ablige. Untill you have seen, My life through my eyes.
(This is a reverse poem. Read starting from left to right all the way to the bottom of the poem. Then, read from left to right from the bottom of the poem to the start of the poem!) You must never change yourself for anybody
Luke warm was the weather that maybe kept us? And beautiful were the leaves that fell when he left. Summer was gone and  winter stayed a bit longer then I would have liked. I was glad to see Autumn again!
Life is indiscriminatory, one attribute is shared amongst all, the feeling to pursue happiness. Many distractions await on the voyage through life;
Stained By Shelby Haley   Dear Journal, A dark ink flows through the tattered page Humans dancing, laughing, singing on the monochrome stage. No matter how hard I try
They say home is where the heart is So I built us a house of cliches Cut out the electricity, Because they say love is blind
Girl, here we are together Loving one another deeply We lift ourselves upward And build each other completely There is a tingling feeling Rising up through the air Our love will shine on through
So close.Close enough to admire the part in your hair, Close enough to study the creases of your face, From years of laug
Happiness We all strive for it It is what we live for, after all. Some achieve it, to some degree,
In order to prosper, they say Act, believe, and think the same way But for them, prosperity isn't happiness For them, commonality is their only steadiness  For them, uniquities are only a nuisance
I have trusted you with all my own,  you leave me laying all alone. I cannot bear to keep in mind what you did to your own kind. I did nothing wrong,  but you think I caused it all.
Of a soothing nature On a cold autumn night Girl, it is you and I together Laying by the fire and watching the moonlight With every tender kiss We both feel the treasure This is a love
The beach, where the ocean overflows with joy at the presence of her visitors. Aching to touch, yearning to love.   Her waves push forward onto the beach to wash upon your toes.
You are the one who is truly worthy. The type of gift that I will always cherish. You come from a culture that is earthy. Our mutual love will never perish.   My mind is tough, but my heart was broken.
I’ll take my happiness to go---- With some extra fries in tow. Don’t be too coy with my toppings Sprinkle on some joy-- leave out the droppings. Wrap it up with a bow; so my happiness won’t overflow!
Girl, everyday we face another day A chance to better ourselves Another moment to grow In order to climb towards the top shelf With our love We build each other up together We move towards the light
Changing yourself, just to better yourself, just to destroy yourself in the end. Now, your strugging to find the beginning. But, where did you begin?
Because I love you, I keep secrets beside the ones you know. Like how I’ve already named our three kids and two dogs, because I’d sound like a creep. Or the nonsensical conversations we have when you talk in your sleep.
you are your worst inner demon. you destroy the beautiful things you’re given with such sharp words with such angry thoughts with such strong hands.   and you
A shaky breath Silence hangs in the air The word “yes” stumbles from your mouth Because I’m falling in love with you   We are inches apart
“did you get home ok?” this is my love language, the static in my ear reminding me of the fuzzy feeling I get down the back of my spine when my name crosses through your lips “did you eat already?”
You are the soundtrack of my life. And even though I am unable To rewind, I play in my head, Over and over, The quirky voicemails you leave me.
I want to look into your eyes And see the stars shining bright I want you to whisper in my ear And feel the shivers run down my spine   Your caress is what I long for A fire to warm my skin
There was once a young kid of Madrid Whose smile they could never get rid. They wanted to throw him To break him, to stone him. But he wasn't- 'twas only forbid. 
My life has been filled to the brim with manipulation masked as love, Deceit hiding behind a smiling face and seemingly kind eyes. I’ve been torn between words and actions,
We were deep into the winter season. The weather was as cold as ice. We shivered with all reason. Our warmth was our price.
Dear Father,   Thank you for being my fatherBecause fathers should provide They should hold your hand and want to danceAnd be present in your life

Rainbows in the sky,Sunlight shines through many clouds.I wish to share it.
I long for your words.You always know what to say,You make me feel gay.
The butterfly with black wings, black body and black eyes. The butterfly comes at your window at midnight. The butterfly made a fluttered sound. Then you turn your head from the table.
What I don't understand is you, why you are who you are why I was chosen in the first place. I can't figure out why you smile or laugh or why it brightens my day. I can't be upset with you
A clear tapestry sewn together with the tools of Passion, Love, and a firey Obsession Can be bound together with ones true confession Because I Love you I let God take you away,

I could not learn what I had to teach when I came to die, I dsicovered that I had not lived. I did not wish to love what was not life unless it was quite neccessary.
Look, I am not a rapper, But I could rattle off a million rhymes about the way you look tonight, The way your "messy" hair hugs your face as I would love to with my hands,
The days have been rough, the hours long It is a one-sided battle, no one can win That is not true love Tears have been shed, I know not by you That is not true love
You buy me food, You never leave me, You tuck me in to bed, Because you care.   You stay up late with me, You like to laugh with me, You like to keep me smiling, Because you care.
  I make sure you’re okay, Respect your aspirations and desires Help you to achieve and believe You’re all I want acquire   Respect your boundaries and feelings But also give you your space
Because I love you, I mention your mistakes But you lash out at me With words like swords and tears streaming down You forgot me at one point I remember though, of all the tears that made me drown
I feel myself filling up Like everything need not be so complex The beauty of simplicity laying on beach chairs Waiting to be painted by those patient enough to find its beauty
honey-swirled eyes, tightly coiled raven curls and chubby, rosey cheeks. the biggest, yet smallest, details. i notice them. curled fingers and frustration,
Love is caring for someone, even if it isn’t reciprocated. Love is helping someone, even when it isn’t needed. Love is blessing someone, even though it isn’t known. Love is being friend with someone,
  Is it love or is it lust? Is it just the thought of us? It’s the goofy faces and funny days, It’s how you make me happy in a million different ways.
Times have been tough, things have gone south between us. Somehow we always figure it out, Because the love we have runs deep in our veins It’s not just a relationship we have,
When Morning Comes   like the old quail in spring;   When morning comes and shakes all the dew drops from his  cloak   to greet me, and undoes his heavy coat buttons;
Love is like a fresh breath of spring,  With love, anyone can do anything. When down, just take a look around,  and make sure your love is seen as profound.    Hug, kiss, talk, miss,
  He adjusted his yellowing glasses Gathered his scattered thoughts And cleared his scratchy voice He began,   It matters not
The greatest thing in life can bring the most happiness; yet the most fear, and that's love, Love is an enjoyable feeling of life, and is what makes us closer; but sometimes love can shatter your heart and shaken your soul,
I will always love you, I will love you with an unconditional love. And because I so deeply love you, I will always try to give you the world.
The mood was right; headache, loud noises, babies crying, tight spaces.   You notice all the curves and lines you would have never saw.
Because I love you, I worry. I worry about if your day is going well, and if you're doing okay. I worry  about if I am doing everything in my power to keep your head above water
I wish I could stop. It’s getting too overwhelming. This uncertainty about where I really stand with you is getting old. It’s consuming my thoughts and I hate it.   I hate how much I want you to be mine.
I won’t tell you that i am trapped in a body that isn’t mine that i was born in the wrong body because whether i have a chest or a dick this body is mine   this body is mine and always will be mine
Why do yours shake when they reach my waist why do they make me want to grow smaller and smaller and dissapear why do your fingernails dig into my skin as I speak

Hello! Quick facts about me: I'm 18 years old and live in DenmarkThis is my third spoken word poem I've uploaded to YouTube. Ever since I began sharing my work I feel a whole new kind of motivation! It helps me use poetry daily.

Today I finally felt was it was like to feel safe, to have that comfort of a home. I never knew what safety was. 15 different houses that I remember, that were and are supposedly "homes."
Long have I loved your warm embrace, Your calm mind, and gentle pace.   The time we spend side by side, Days spent watching the rolling tide.  
I don’t have any time to be complaining. Time is running out, it is slipping through me like silk slips through one’s fingertips. I don’t have time to be unhappy and disrespectful and unworthy. I don’t have time to be unworthy.
Bright Sunny Clean Runny It can be blinding, or it can be mellow. The sun’s blissful, golden, daisy flower yellow.  
Only a few people in this world have I chosen to expose myself to. Yet we met, and I unfurled, and with you, my heart flew.   Everyday with you fuels me to go on and live, because of you.

Love, an emotion that we feel Percieved to be decadent  Beauty all around in our eyes and soul. It means that we should be kind,  open to learning.    Arms wide open,  hands extended. 
Our eyes met while the night was young, as the champagne bubbles danced across my tongue. Who knew this evening would decide our fate? This is the moment in which I find my soulmate.
I was broken, battered and beaten.

Look at her bright and cheery face, dotted with tears that intertwine and lace. Is she happy? Is she sad? Does the fact you cannot tell make you mad? A superficial glance at her,  the eyes confuse and obscur.
She believed that it was true, reality.The touch that lead to a warmer sensation inside.The laugh, the voice, the comfort.Complete silence, and pure happiness.She soon found out that it was a moment.
Truth be joy in eyes, Crinkles beneath the tired lids, Dancing with demons.
Hope flickers inside, A wonderful noise builds within, Dawn rises, life begins.

It's time to go with the flow and let your heart know that it's okay to express yourself and let yourself go. Get lost in the love that is the totality of your individuality. 'Individual' which means undivided from the 'whole'. 
Whether it is sooner or later, people will reveal their true colors. Eventually, the sparkling gleam of fairytales and new beginnings fades into the dark enchanted woods of reality. Imperfections. Losses. Disappointments. Failures.
My bed of happiness. Warm water and silence, and my thoughts. I lay my head back while the warmth wipes away my goosebumps away. Thankful to be alone. The warm smell of rose peddles and chocolate in the air.

Will that new car make you happy? Can the latest and greatest phone  make you feel less alone? Materialistic things we want give us a smile. But they are merely just temporary tattoos that

Some people's idea of happiness consist of tender moments with another. Other's consist of a smokey room full of friends. Other's, of piles of money and days full of laziness.
If every yellow blossom was an echo of your laughter and every star that shines glinted brighter in your eye, there'd be a flower for everyone all seven-point-five billion and the night sky'd be so bright
Alone Always appeared Similiar to drowning But today floats effortlessly Lovely
Tears are slowly accumulating At the corner of my eye I hold my stomach aching in pain Each successive breath is slowly becoming too difficult to make
Darkness fills the world around me, trapping me within its confined space that seems never ending.  It tightens itself around me, putting pressure on my chest and compressing down until I feel my lungs on the brim of a burst. 
I finally feel free  No ties holding me down  I have found  What I need to seek  It doesn’t seem out of reach    Like a painting or a dream  It comes to me  In flashes, in feelings 
Emotions can suck sometimes, it can be happy, mad, sad, but don't let it stop you from reaching your primetimes. Hey, life is not always rad, but let it shape who you truly are,
Vivid eyes, a glowing face. Gentle hands, a warm embrace. Watching how the flowers grow. Watching how the flowers grow.   In the dark, she’s her own light. The smoke will never cloud her sight.
There's nothing more sweet than a hummingbird's beat of their wings over a meadow of snow, but even in white there's nothing more bright than the green in their eyes that glow.
Fatal Infatuation   As a child I was told of the significance of what we call love The sweet serendipity that it brings to your life
Insecurity (“”)                 Why aren’t you happier to see me                 Why don’t you look nicer when we go out                 Why do you always have to be so smart. . . or clueless. . . or dumb
This year I found happiness  Filled between the 365 daysEvery beautiful moment melting away into a hazeAt only 17 years of ageI found happiness, this year

I once could not breathe.  My skin use to hurt. Darkness filled my mind. But love surrounded me. Love had always surrounded me. But only right now Right this second Could I truly feel it.
I think that  I never understood how much I could care, why I love you so much, you frightened me because I couldn't tell where the line was between friends and lovers  
2016   2016 was such a hard year full of tears, sorrow and everyones fears. I wasn't quite sure when it had began all the bad things that would happen again.   So much death So much hate
I had a friend named Fear He was present in any social situation I faced He quickened the beat of my heart, saying it was out of love and grace
January...jam, damn so much to fit in. How am I supposed to keep up with school and make new friends?
    Today, it finally hit me; that moment of realization. I remember the days in my life that were so horrible and low. I remembered the moment, but not the feeling.
2016 was 366 days of dreaming, of learning, of reflecting, of growing myself into the person I long to be.   2016 was 366 days of laughter, of ideas,
The new year calls for change The new year calls for better Physically, mentally, eternally Living a never-ending battle  365 unpredictable days gone
Everyday Ι walk over similar roads,   And in every way the same memories replay.  As my feet bring me to the places, my mind brings me to other times.     Back then, and today 
I sowed tolerance and kindness Into crimson earth Noble seeds nurtured by quiet altruism, Blessed by a watchful God.   I reaped denial and illusion Saw a heart too tolerant
I stare out my open door Feeling the wind whirl around me  Causing my red hair to spin and fly  As the giant trees look down at little me I smile up at them Just happily being in my oasis
It's been a long four years, each dwindling to an end a little faster than before.My last may be my last but it's all still just a first,Years and months of friends and then none.
Ascending Ascending Ascending Ascending Rising up from pain and sorrow Rising above the raging fire
In 2016 A cloud of depression hovered over me I felt hopeless And angry and empty Why couldn't I just be happy? I have a great life And a loving family Caring friends and many talents
The distant smell of a fireplace on a cold night, feeling that first rain drop of an impending storm, being offered the last slice of pizza among friends, getting cozy under a freshly-cleaned blanket,
Highschool A word that has the power To make its victims cower And to leave others smiling with their fond memories.   A new beginning I saw it as a chance To make them take a second glance
It was a rule I broke that would lead me to find a person who was actually kind. A person I barely know, and has had the courtesy to say "Hello". Countries away we are and yet with social media
Rowing the little boat over the roaring tides and underneath the thundering clouds, I hold onto the life I had lived before. The load got heavier, the rain fell harder and the waves crashed with more anger. I surveyed the black water, looking for
Now
From this point forward, I shall march into the battle And fight until the end.   From this point forward, I shall be my own commander. No one else will issue my orders.  
There is a lot I have lost but it may be worth the cost. They say I must wake up from my dream but what does it mean? I have cried out for answers... but all I recieve is cancers.
2016 January, the new year started.                I still kept to myself. February, the days became colder.                 As I became to be. March, I met my best friend. 
Towering stadium lights blinded like me nothing else before it. They illuminated the best things about me. The fire that burned so deeply in my soul I was sure it would be eternal.
Girl, brightness is what we see When we communicate with one another properly There are no clouds in the sky This makes for a pleasant scenery This bond that we have Is gentle, pure, and sincere
It would be outrageous for me to say anything has shaped me this year more intensely Than my own grand failures caused by my need for outside approval.   A year ago, I wouldn’t have been willing to admit that.
  Sadness reigned over her 3 years of pure sadness Nothing, she was nothing   With one moment with one word She is taken back
A small, quiet sadness found its way into my chest I soon watched myself become even more depressed. A companion to the sadness very soon came around Anxiety covered my mouth and induced another breakdown.
Emotional healing and heartache, /  Her Mother coddle her as if she was /  Seven years old, /  Red plump cheeks, /  Streams of water spilled down /  Hitting the tongue in a form of /  A salty back-slap of /  Betrayal for not being able to /   Hold
Hello, Dakota It's your teacher, kreiger I need you to listen I need you to be calm. There has been a fire It was at your house Your farm is incinerated everything there is gone.
This time last year, the only thing I liked about myself was my persistence.   I spent far too many hours crying over who I wish I was,   rather than focusing on how amazing I really am  
What makes you happy when you are at the lowest of the low?   My year was busy. My year taught me many things, one of which was to find the happy from the sad.  
The concept of time is so strange We never realize how much in a year that we change The sun always rises and it's a blessing to be awake Another chance to fix yesterday's mistakes 
Yeah… the story begins inside of a black hole. The exit is clear but you can’t seem let go. You feel rooted down to the bottom of the pit, There’s nothing here, so why haven’t you let go?
we were happy once back when we were but children, giggling at the minute moments innocent, but ignorant. not yet accustomed to the term depression
This past year has taught me a lot, And its safe to say it hasn't been easy. No, its been anything but. I started it off happy. New state, new school, new faces, new me. 
Running from nothing Fleeing from the dog Why won't this cat simply Lie like a log?   Hoewever crazy he seems No matter what he acts like I will always love my cat
    When do you become me?   Is it when she broke our heart?   Is it when we stayed up for hours with our new friends?  
You can take my heart but I never wanted you to break it my love was yours there's no mistaking    It. you leave, behind, pieces of the darkest times   I, remember, the day 
I am from teddy bears From a burning heater and vibrant evergreens I am from the sparkling Lights and hopes of snow that I knew would never come I am from art and glitter glue , walking down halls that felt like pre school
January I am so excited for The snow to fall again The anticipation of New Years Resolutions Somehow I always fail Spring time April means Leaves are growing Flowers are blooming
Live in your bubble for a day Not for a lifetime   Look up and see the world The world outside your own   That is the world you live in Not the one you've created  
Girl, it is about us Just us two We shine together We think things through We make our magic Two hearts beating together as one Sharing and caring And having lots of fun
Those moments of immortality they hit us in bursts; bold bright beautiful remiding us that we are the stars that shoot across the night sky the storms that rage against the gulf shore.
I just needed a friend  Dark and dim in the closet No room to breathe I was suffocating No one was able to see  
It has been 4 years I can finally say goodbye I will say it with content Because it was a battle I thought I would never forget One change has given me that power The power to say goodbye
And with a stroke of a pen My pain became joy, My tears became smiles, And I became myself.  And with a stroke of a pen
Shy, excited, and turning into a lady This year, my life flipped 180 I was admitted into ASB O the sights I will see!  Nervous and shaky
A struggle it is To stand out in a crowd When your eyes are common And your hair is light brown I wondered Did they see me
I’ve heard, my dear, that you aren’t okay. I’ve heard you crying, I’ve heard you say:   “I give up, I tell you. I surrender my soul.” But I promise you that one day, you will be whole.  
My whole life has been leading up to this class-this moment. I am in AP Art. I’ve made it.  I’m one of the strong ones, holding tight through the current
Anyone who's been on a roller coaster can tell you, there are ups and downs and loops and twists. For the thrill-seekers, it's a rush but for the fearful, the worst part is knowing that
Welcoming warmth after months of harsh ice all things once dead feeling alive again regrowth, nourished by the sunglight everything in greens, yellows, and bright blues.  
A smile visited me today and will not go away but it's ok I do not want it erased I want my grandchildren Josephina Joan, Nicholas and Isaiah to see How happy they make me.
Girl, together we lay by the fire And we hold each other dearly We share and care for one another Together, we shine completely Always forging ahead And taking things one step at a time
What A Year It all happened so fast,The year 2016. High school came to an end And college was no longer “just around the riverbend”.
Whatever makes her happy, she does All the butterflies in her tummy and smiles across her face She does what makes her happy  Her positivity shines from her eyes
For me it was gold But for them its dirt The way they treat The way they speak But whatever it is I doesnt really fit They came along That wasnt too long Both singing a song
Girl, our precious hearts They beat together as one When we lay next to each other We have so much fun We candidly share our thoughts There is nothing but pure tenderness We both feel the fire
The past twenty four hours I have been in a state of disbelief. I missed a day of writting poetry and there is no source of relief. A constant state of grief. Now, this day that has been granted is now a day of redemption.
Let me go hide in a forest of birches And watch me drown as heaviness seeps Under my skin See me drench myself with fake stories With courage letters in them And watch me stand up tall 
That melody strums in my ear, Singing courses and refrains that I want to hear, I bust a move, The beat is my groove. Music brings me pure delight, Igniiting my soul more than a sleight,
It's crazy to think  it been only a year. So much has changed  it's all such a blur.    We started out strange, awkward, and  unfamiliar.    Now as a year draws near,
the thing is… sometimes self harm isn’t about pain, it’s about things that last and things that dont.
We are an odd people aren't we? All trying to get somewhere- with sight but blind to see how little we actually care. We stumble around and push others down in attempts to gain ground
Poetry found mewhere darkness embodied my soul.When all my bad deeds refused to allow me to seek forgiveness,Poetry found me.
I lay my head on my pillow to rest.My eyes gaze at the ceiling,and catch the dancing shadowsamongst the darknessthat encapsulates mealways.
I hear people asking what the secret of happiness is   and I can't help but try to answer the question.   They say happiness is fortune... Isn't the love of money the root of all kinds of evil?  
Four paws Pitter patter down the hall White fur Brown spot Right above the eye He looks at me
Stress. It’s everywhere, a vulture waiting until I drop. Waiting, waiting until the last brick is on my shoulders and I crumble into nothingness.
The thought  Of you  Is the stream of honey Dripping from a spoon  Into a hot cup of my favorite tea and the initial sip  That leaves me warm  All over    
I see them. They start to emerge from the darkness. Slowly, enticing, flawless. The excitement builds inside me. And then... In unison they begin to move, their bodies in sync.
Sometimes I want to feel sad I rather enjoy the feeling of bad But then some sense gets knocked into me And I know that it’s Jesus I need
Exhaustion seeps into my bones, The crisp morning chill sends daggers through my veins  But I fight it, urging myself to leave my bed of cotton and clouds
When I feel the life fall from my eyes, down towards the ground, falling through the dips and valleys of my cheeks,  when I feel as though my knees are drawn to the earth,
Yellow drips from the sky caressing my ace I can taste its warmth on my tongue It comes in many forms A surprise Embrace Strokes through soft locks
One thing that effectuates me  is what she shows in her smile so convincingly Something that’s simple and common to most It’s the way she smiles laughs and boasts
On the edge of the chair,under twinkling lanternsand glimmering lights,with slamming,heart-wrenchingassurances and promisesreaching me through the stage.
It's the feeling that it gives me, like I can finally fly it's the entire universe in each page I process. It's the love at first sight and the wonderful journey that follows, the ridiculous jokes that make me giggle.
When skies are blue and clouds are grey. When nothings new and people, fade away. When life looks bleak  and it all seems arbitrary. You need to realize, its only temporary.
When I'm feeling kind of blue Instead of letting these feelings down me I listen to Kind of Blue And when I close my eyes I feel the space around me
There are some days  when life just gets me down but when I see I'm in this haze There's someone who I've found   He can't speak our language and has tiny paws with pointed claws 
You hold the sun in the palms of your hands, You radiate the heat needed to thaw the tundra of my skin. Heaven hides behind your eyes, You are truly divine.     Your touch is soothing,
"Ugh" It's not exactly how I feel But a word that I use to deal Deal with every hardship  Every tear or sense of frustration It's a word I use to deal with pain I'm actually not fond of the word
Thanksgiving Day   I slip in and out of dreams. I drift into darkness, lightness, and finally into the crisp glow of daylight.
The sound of a child That begins to laugh and smile Makes the world worth while
There are more than a few things Which I am pleased about, that wash away my stormy days, and cleanse me of my doubt.   Sometimes they are big things and sometimes they are small
The darkness is so cold and unforgiving Being shrouded in it's presence is a one-sided battle Making the light harder and harder to grasp. Whenever in pits of despair, my dog is there, my music is there, my food is there.
Top floor bed and ladder't railing I'm brave you know I'll exit my loft with feet facing out. Backwards hand grip, reach back up and grab discarded socks
Some days are just bad from the start. On these days, it takes all I have to find happiness inside my heart. I turn on my music and roll up my sleeves, This day will not take my happiness away from me.  
At one thousand feet, I jitter with excitement.  At ten thousand feet, I feel the world stop around me. At thirty thousand feet, I can't help but fall asleep.   From forty thousand feet, Kashmir floods my dreams. 
The laughter of a kid, sends chills down my spine. The purity and high pitch, reminding me of what life was like back then. No force or restraint, just a tickled heart, Reminding me of the deepest dream in my soul.
Happiness is a choice You have to make it In order to be happy You have to choose happy In order to choose happy You have to think happy So many people in the world aren't choosing it
You hate your town Mundane the sun rises, the sun sets Boring Why do you think it so? You are composed of millions of cells that give you life
Life may be still Sometimes even ill There is darkness in every corridor Creeping up to redeem the souls of the restless However this feeling should not endure
Whenever I am feeling down, I just sit and look around. I think about what I have seen, and what I have done. I am not worthy, I don´t deserve your mercy. I have fallen again, and again,
Cherish your woman Cuddle with your woman Do not leave her in the dark Take a stroll with her through the park Shower her with tender love She has put her trust in you Just be there for her
As I walk under the skyscraper, I inhale the smell of the street vendor, Coughing while I pass a near teenage vaper, And dodging a sudden fender bender.   I wonder is this city for me,
Simplicity brings about the sweetest of feelings: love. It can be watching cats play or seeing couples hand-in-hand, the small occurances of everyday life. By feeling the joy of another person's genuine laughter 
Happiness Fake smiles Fake laugh Fake happy Fake Negative/Negative/Negative No, Nephews hugging me Parents hugging me Sisters hugging me Friends hugging me
When you speak to me, breathe sweet words into my ear drums through
I always looked to the future sadly Quickly two years seemed to pass me I survived, here I am, I am happy. I talk more now, to them, my dear friends
When I'm feeling low, Music helps the feelings flow. When nothing else can save me, Music is my savory It serves as an escape As I feel like there was an earthquake. When emotions are running high,
It is the decison you make one day, when you had enough of watching everything that has sinked you down. So, you take the stance and draw a map of yourself and see the
The Sky Is a blank canvas Just past dawn Yearning for blue eyes, brown eyes, grey eyes, sad eyes, To acknowledge its beauty and potential.   The Sky Is a blazing masterpiece Of mixed hues
You're beauty is like starlight, but more like the spaces in betweenBecause you're so much more than just a pretty faceYou're so much more than the precious pearls you hide behind
It's not just the sun kissing my cheek and brightening my eyes It's not just the chime that tells me someone is thinking about me It's not just the wind flying beneath me as I ride down the hill on my bike
What does it mean to experience true joy? There are days when the word tastes bitter on my tongue,  As if I never knew the meaning. As if my mouth has never known the feeling of a smile,
Today, once again, I am down. So, I look around. Down the street, I see a clown. I frown. Through the window, I see a beautiful gown. I have a meltdown. Is there nothing in this town?
Worlds away thats where I've gone Worlds away thats where I belong Stress comes in and the happiness goes out Happiness comes back when I put in headphones and really jam out
Tell her that she is beautiful Show her that you care Be her everything Put your heart into it and be there Love and comfort your lady She is an amazing human being Guide and protect her
there is no greater feeling than to have you in my life my shining star my thoughtful moon you are the reason why i am 16 you are the reason why i have survived you are the reason i wake up each day
Things that make me happy are many, There's singing, acting, reading, just to name a few,  But one that I love most, One that's my past and future, Is the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Several souls around me -- some lost and some broken. Drowing in thin air. Their shirts drenched with the liquid courage that falls from their eyes. Moving through the motions, blindly stumbling through time.
Several souls around me -- some lost and some broken. Drowing in thin air. Their shirts drenched with the liquid courage that falls from their eyes. Moving through the motions, blindly stumbling through time.
I remember feeling so odd. We were laying in bed and you somehow felt nostalgic. Nostlagic? This had never happened before. I had never leaned into the contours of your body, fit perfectly into your arms as we watched the
le rêve et l'amour my dreams and my heart are flying free from the dark hope springs forth from an untapped well I see the light permeating  my cells   the world's noise
Dip them in a sauce   They'll be there when you are down    Potato chips rule. 
Happiness is brought with daylight - luminous, balmy, tranquil, with smiles as large as the sun, itself.   When night steals the sun,
Basketball is life  The dribbling of the ball The screaming of the players The swishing of the hoop The beating of the buzzer The roaring of the crowd  The winning of the championship
Good morning great morning the sun is up it is burning my soul on fire raging like its storming grateful for the day i am earning
There are days without light days made of permanent night. days full of hateful thought days where it's all for not. everything is void, chaos, making me paranoid. There is but one thing

In my early 20's, When I was a simplistic University student of the Law, One of my less popular professors Romanticized dinner table conversations, So much so I felt, That the apex of my life would entail,

Without life there is no connection no connection, no love, no lost. All I live for is to connect. Some friends, others money. Mine's is interaction. Without having that person to talk to about anything.
Happiness is temporary  Have you ever realized that before? Happiness is mocking you; staring Just beyond your life's back door   Happiness then exits for a while
Faith   The unparalleled charter of an Island life can take you by storm. The waves crashing against the shores to reassure that they are your only call. No people, No love, No trust
I can't live without happiness;  However, I can survive. But, is a life without living, and only surviving, a life worth keeping alive? Society wants money, and power, and demand for respect.

Live like checking into a motel at three in the morning and fumbling with the keys to open the door. Live like fortuitously shocking someone and feeling the electricity expel from your being to another.
Forget the people who praise you,when you are shining and glorious.
Happiness is the outcome to unquenchable tears which came because of struggle.     The world is sad, the world is bad.
Money is the key  You can't live without Happiness It comes with a price   
Sometimes we feel lonely We feel like, if we don't have somebody, then we have nobody. To feel appreciated it feels like we need have a body. A voice, a tone, something to be heard.
Though happiness is very close, happiness is hard to find,  real, true happiness. Everyone deserves happiness. I had to start taking risks without worrying about the consequences,
Cannot Live without Enjoying Life   One thing I cannot live without? Not being able to enjoy life. That is my answer. I was given life for a reason. To try to make the world a better place

Ode
As I see this circle come into view, my contant desire for it ever grew. For this beautiful specimen was a beautiful find, the curvature of its surface truly titilates my mind.
Even though you can no longer see me Look at the sun when it rises Look at the moon and stars   Even though you no longer feel me
the feeling of raindrops  the smell of heavy skies  the warm water-laden breeze   remind me of home    the dark earth smell  and clear cut water   make me want to bottle up  
I sit in the sun and stop growing How far away the sun must be from our little rock I close my eyes and feel it burning into me What is it trying to say? I float on, oblivious
Today was different, I didn’t feel like I was drowning In a sea of my own tears.   The cold grip of shackles That encompassed me No longer bound me To regret or remorse.  
Within, there must be that voice...The one to push you to succeed.For me, it tells me that all is okay,And I need to prepare for what I may see.  
Lonely Love There is a burning  Deep in my soul My heart is yearning Like a bells toll Far across the ocean waters Underneath the skies grasp Hidden behind hurricane shutters Through a shattered heart I rasp Tell me you want me For I cannot be wit
You are my fix, my remedy Your scent fills my lungs and makes my heart beat faster with excitement The thrill of feeling your texture between my fingertips, sometimes rough, sometimes smooth
I don't need a big mansion Nor a lot of money I don't need fancy clothes Nor a brand new car I don't need fame Nor the glory of it All I need is love Whether it's family A soulmate
My grandma is so close to my heart. Without her, my life would be such a change. I have loved her since the start, If I didn't have her, my life would be strange. My grandma helps me stay strong.
A rose is a rose A heart is a heart A mind is a mind A soul is a soul A person is a person And no one can change that. That in its self, is a victory.
I am happy. Those words are underestimated, heard but unseen a warm breeze that slides along the cheek of another. You make me happy.  I feel as though you cause my bloodstream
Sometimes when I think about you, I feel slightly disappointed in myself. To know that I let my guard down; to know that I let you in without thinking twice about slamming the door shut behind me.  
  If you see me drown alone See me standing on my own In a world of complications I have intricately sown   If you hear me in the night Shedding tears over a loss

Some may say that, without things, you’re hard-pressed to succeed -- but I believe there’s not much stuff that someone truly needs. You don’t need diamonds, gems, or pearls to make your smile wide.
The will to live  Determined within Needing that one thing We all strive to get Each and everyday We want to be happy There isn't much else  What good is anything If you can enjoy it
Little feet scrambling across hard wood floors Pitter patter of fingers across computer keys Haunting notes of a bow across viola strings Laughing notes of a song to each other across empty space Fresh cookies being carried across the kitchen to s
  They told me I tend to write about pretty depressing topics, Well that seems to happen when you’re depressed yourself, but I digress
All I need is the love of my God For He will keep me safe and secure From the hands of the arrogant That thrive from the devil’s hand His kindness will keep me warm
tearing up inside me  fire and tigers and rage and roars threaten to rip my limb from limb but i don't have a word   i say i'm mad i have that word i say i'm mad  
Your sweet smile, The way you kindly spoke, Will forever be in memory.   Your kind eyes, The way the passion in them rose,
In life, all we want is happiness. We want it to fall into our hands as easily as sand seeps out between our fingers. Yet, it seems as if we only listen to those who don’t know what will bring us happiness.
You hold this power. Power of width and life. Power that only the stars ignite. The power in you that starts new discovery. Of places and people, and grand mystery. You rarely seek this type,
If I was stranded on an island, I would need nothing materialistic. I would not need my cell phone, computer, wifi, or hell even my clothes for that matter. 
All I need a smile, you see? Not just one but two or three. From the girl, the mother, the old man next door, The teacher, the student, the rich and poor, The first, the second, the third place too,
There is a place inside my dreams, I see you standing there. Your beauty captivates me, the sun shining in your hair. Another day of fishing, the pole becomes your hand. All I can do is smile cause I am the one who understands.
You It’s a question most have heard before: What would you do if you were stranded on a desert island by the shore? What would you want?
Memories can be good and badRemembering can be the worst partThe good memories, you'd want them to lastThe bad ones, you want to leave in the past      They might even hurt you so you keep them a secretAs for the bad memories, you don't think you
Some need money, talent or fame. They play life like a inconsequential game. They move their pawns around the board Adding more money and gifts on their massive hoard.
The peace of the world is not always dead Just forgotten by the hunger of war Slowly sucking all living with its roar And captivating innocents with dread.
As the leaves change color through the season As the daylight slowly dwindles away The mind gradually finds its reason While the soul obtains its reason to stay.  
I’m seated in a comfy chair, he’s running his fingers through my hair, I’m thinking aloud as I write,
All I need on this deserted island is. I could have clean water or cheese wiz But I just want a friend to quiz A friend to hold to cuddle to love One that fits to me like a glove
Deserted island stranded and I only need one thing, not material but the ability sing, the motive to dance, moxey to laugh when I can't find my pants, Happiness is all I will ever need,
Happiness was as unattainable as the blooming of my favorite flower in winter. Enjoying my life was far fetched. It didn’t make sense to have hope in the future,
joyous jukebox, so pure, so effortless, comes the ringing of bells on a Sunday morning. beautiful birds humming the rhythms of the earth.
Being with you is such a treat. Tell me darling, how ever did we meet? When I look into your eyes I see nothing but love. That's when I pull you in for a sweet hug.   Nothing but you and me in my heart.
IncomparableMysticalMagical It is so UnattainableEnlightening DeluxeIn every way Keeping the actions of the brokenAt bayIt is like walking into an open field 
Her
Her, the person my heart longs for, day and night as the stars swing by. Why? Because I love how her skin shines under the sun the same exact way it shines in a dark room,
My teammates and I inhale the fragrance of cross-country: freshly-mown grass accompanied by a gentle, humid breeze. 
The day I walked by you,  I knew what a shame I had puzzled my piece into. Nothing but,"Don't  look at me, look the other way"   reluctantly ringing in the drums of my ears,  echoing back vibrations  of guilt, shame, and pitty  that Mary herself  
The world may be a dark sky But God you're still my bright light. You shine through the gray, like the sun shines in May.  
There are many things to do without though you’d never think ‘twas true a car drinks costly gasoline so a bicycle will do
the feeling of watching a child light up when you walk through the door singing your favorite song when you're home alone when there is no wait list of your favorite restaurant and you're with your best friend
I have been looking and searching for someone Life just seems like it doesnt want to show me that special someone I ask but i get no reply I help but get no thank you I ask myself is it you?
Death, come for me now While my lips are still up in a smile While my eyes are still filled with stars While a laugh still dances on my breath. Close my eyes with snow-laced lashes
Finally things are going in a way that I can agree with. Finally I can smile with pride with straight white teeth. Finally I can rack up on savings because of a great job.
I have decided that happiness is not native to earth. Rather, I believe it to be stolen from some far away place delivered on sun rays, or rather taken from them, and swallowed whole here on earth.
looking back reflecting  I find that so much is sad sounds so much happy tinged with regret so morose my words have been so here is joy: unconstraineduncontrollableallconsumingjoy
A vast, endless green field Overwhelms me with its beauty The soft, billowing breeze won't yield How I wish you were here with me Flowers of ev'ry hue Dance so slowly to the wind's beat
If you're happy then i have to be, Because I left your side to see you be. If you like it then i love it, Because i walked away so you could show it. If you're fine then i'm well,
Old pipes Portable stereotypes Old technology Keeps dripping tautology Snap , snap photography I'm here on the side of the road My camera ready to re-load Another add-venture
I remember the smell of flowers Swaying slightly Beautiful images Stitched into themselves As the birds sing of love And eyes being to meet And laughter is the only audible sound
I just wanna talk to you I know you hardly know me and this isn't something we often do But really I just wanna talk to you Just a call or a text or two That'd be great like fine treasures
When I was younger I thought adults were made of armor. Skin so tough no one could harm them. They knew everything, they couldn’t be stopped. My eyes beamed at the sight.
I was shy. Always would deny,  Hanging out with friends. Time went by, This hurt me in the end. I eventually opened back up, Leaving self-consciousness behind. I found happiness,
My perimeter is nothing more than painted bricks and broken windows I am filled with nothing less than destructed pride and shattered ego Like rust on steel after an angry cloud's release  
Happiness is when you're content with the world. Believing that whatever happens you will be okay.   I believe happiness comes from love, the love of others, of God from giving and recieveing.  
someone once told me that depression was god's way of weeding out the weak as if there were no room in this world for people like me people who can't just "suck it up" and be HAPPY
Initially, this wasn’t exactly the reality of the story I imagined I would be strolling through. Madness intertwined in my balance,
  She was an empty corpse 
Happiness is key And to those who don’t understand that, I am the giving tree Advice is an understatement
There are 43 muscles in the human face,  and 7 billion people on this beautiful rock. I want to be the person who changed everyone's face, But just a little.   Show me your teeth, 
Like a wave, happiness flows. Sometimes fast while sometimes slow. When you realized you lost the past. Happiness tends to slow down fast.
On a night in the summer, I can remember Large thumping boxes swapping waves of thrilling pulses to overtake the silence. Joyous and primal, I move through the drapes of large tents
I am not that little girl The little girl who brings joy to the world The little girl who open's up hearts That girl was beautiful in so many ways
You told me you weren't musicalYet you play the beat of my heart perfectly in timeYou said you weren't hotBut you light a fire within meYou insisted you weren't lyricalAlthough your words are a beautiful rhyme
I am not what I am not so you won't see what you don't see
There is such happiness As the couple takes a cruise Nothing but smiles and glares To brighten up the atmosphere Always in a jubilant mood Thinking nothing but positive thoughts In a state of felicity
Silent bliss and noisy joy, there's no method to the madness. A question with no complete answer.
It is hard, but what isnt At the same time it is so fragile and soft Why must a gift be so corrupt and sad We are human with emotions Except sometimes emotions get in the way
Out of the sadness that covers me Dark as the night from time to time I thank to the virus that infected me To the humble self that change by time   In the world full of sorrow
I am an only daughter 
Mother tells me she loves me But I think she loves my sister the most. It’s pretty obvious, from the way
On airy cliff side sits the falcon’s nest, A perch of splendid vacant seaside view, And in it does my youthful spirit rest, Absorbing breath of air and sky of blue; While body lives the life of down-below,
The covers for never leaving after a one night's stand the bed that support me as I sleep the house that has provided shelter from storm and insects the computer purchased by my mother to help me keep up with the days
Settle down butterfly, one more wish and maybe you'll fly. Days on end with no hope again,
The smile on my lips, its pure bliss.  But you burned my heart,
The way the words flow from your lips, almost as if you remembered our kiss. Those long nights flew by,
Feeling the warmth spread throughout your body, and the peace that flows quick after, the love that overwhelms your chest,
Alone, I chased after my own desires,
She
She is a strong tree Unbending, Defending, Strong Shelters me from harm
It’s too small of a planet To say Earth is everything, To say the stars are there for beauty And the moon is there for peace.   It’s too great of a world To say God is false,
There’s something glorious about being a woman Like the feel of Saturday mornings when you don’t have to go anywhere And the sky is painted with lilacs and periwinkle and you wonder “Why do I ever go to Sunday school
Sugary hot chocolate on a rainy afternoon Drives across the coarse sandy roads along the vibrant sea A hint of a smile on a special someone's face Aromas of cinnamon and eucalyptus wafting from my mother's candle  
It is easy to feel pain, feel anger and feel bad about my life I want to stab the memories, to murder them with a knife Some days I stare at the mirror and it’s far from easy
earliest rays find the absent spaces, to peak in a window pane eyelids fight the disruptive rays, but bouncing signals in the brain awake ghosts departe, the darkness dispersing in primitive light
Sun-damaged hair bouncing between my tired eyes, the flapping of my stretched skin with every stride,
When skies grow gray And smiles fade away, I know they will be there.   As tears stream down Enough for me to drown, They will give me their care   Friends create smiles
Relationships strong like barbwire. People say trust no one but that’s no way to live.
If I could change the world… War would not be a thing No one would ever be hungry And the mute would fearlessly sing
As I grow up, each day at a time I start to notice all the things that chime The beauty in this world has always been there
Have you ever started to fall? And you realize that you’re falling And you know if you don’t catch yourself soon enough; it’ll turn into crawling.
I love to pet dogs, With their hairy paws, Stick bone or ball, They love in their jaws.   Have been at our side, For thousand of years, Accompanying tears,
How about that weather? It's great isn't it? Feeling your summer days, with that cheerful summer haze? No school in session, no cliques to worry about,  isn't everything awesome?  
Freedom
Everyone has their issues that keep them in the dark,But when you fight against them you can surely make your mark.Travel past your issues, onto a newly found frontier,Bring yourself together in a different atmosphere.
Words are my favorite They flutter on the pages Of crisp papers Handcrafted letters
I am what you call a loner, a nerd, a person who isn't so.. into herself. He is.. different. He is so much more than different, at least to me.  
Side-by-side dressed alike double takes "Are you two twins?"   My little shadow  almost as old as I am you look up to me but you have no idea how much I look up to you.  
I remember sitting on the swing, mid-summer With my head in my mother’s lap And a slight breeze tickling our cheeks As the cotton candy skies faded to a navy hue
I lost my huband again, We always go through this cycle, 
Although pain is ever present, And sorrow never ceasing, Light by the sun is always sent, Happiness ever increasing.   No nigt lasts forever, As the earth and all its glory
some days are short some days are long some days I'm weak some days I'm strong some days are poems some days are songs some days are written some days are drawn some days I'm mended
WE   We are known for being ignorant, and dirty, Known for being weak, and unworthy Known for being corrupted and inconsiderate. and we know
I ask myself Why all these things in life, matter.
When I entered middle school it wasn't quite as I had planned
I am aware of the stress,
Depression and anxiety,Those things that try to come back to me.O and that PTSD,
. pain, tears, and suffering disappointment in yourself and others’ disappointment in you   anger, hurt, and screaming
It's a thrill to place warm fingers on cold keys Feel ridges and cracks and character Just close your eyes and breathe in  Pour out your soul into the music like pouring water into a glass  
They say life ain't easy to many ups and downs Hard times keep your pots greasy They say life ain't easy So many circles you run around I say life keep your heart beating
May you be loved in a way that is beyond palatable for you, that doesn’t make your head spin, but makes you comfortable, that makes you pleased with life
they say change is a bad thing I always heat "nobody likes change" I don't find this true I live for change Change brings adventure and beauty and new life Change brings new chances and adreniline 
getting tucked into bed  kisses goodnight  telling stories  turning on nightlights   being told "i love you"  before they close the door care with the flu a broken house runaway dad
An understanding friend
Innocence welcomed me with understanding and ease
Wonderment touches understanding but barely recognizes it
Outside in the midst of nature and a boundary set by humans 
Imagine living with a family of disorders, darkness riding upon corners. Imagine living with an anorexic sister, autistic brother,
I am Tammy TortoiseBrown and green and blue and turquoiseTo do my best I am always poisedBecause I know my life has great purpoiseYes, I'm small and slowIt has no negative effect, though
You know that warm feeling, When you see someone grinning? You know when it’s genuine, And happiness on their face is written? When the smile goes all the way to their eyes,
She has the soul of a gentle saint
You were the rose, but with thorns, One touch and I bled,
Define 'happy'.... feel smiling so quickly your brightness radiates out, and blinds you. But even blind you see 'happy' because the sound of your laughter, in blacked-out eyes, paints the northern lights on your mind.
Pain, pain, so easy to feel, so easy to see
Leaves are brown, the sky is gray, How did things end up being this way? I look around to see no one around,
I'm tired of all this hate and disgust we need to separate its not them its "U.S." We blame everything as a country on a color instead of just solving the problem before it snow balls
Happiness—that which one can neither hold nor keep It comes and goes, it ebbs and flows And no one really knows If they can make that leap Into the deep unknown  
Do we ever feel alone? yes. Do we ever feel forgotten? yes. Have we ever gotten help? no. Have your friends ever offered help? yes, but I think I don't need it.  
I've been told 
Lean back, relax— as the breeze breathes in and exhales fog above the ocean's edge.   Let the breeze take you in along the sweet summer grass as the waves pull in,
If you know the feeling of the warm sun peeping through your window, it means you’re blessed to feel a sensation.
This plane you find yourself in      is just one glimpse of one dimension, among many others Look out,      organic nature surges from the soil           synthetic somethings jut out from this scene.
The melody racks through your body, strumming strings within you that you didn't even know existed,  bringing a light smile to your lips as you reflect on the past. A song can bring you back to a broken past, 
Dive in. Feel the water embrace your bones. Watch the many bubbles blossoming from your peach nostrils float to the surface. Break the surface and breathe as deeply as you possibly can.
The more you live to love and give, the better off you'll beInstead of living more to take and "What's in it for me."Though looking out for number one may guarantee survival
soft notes of soulful awakening float through the apartment, slow steady, to accompany the morning brew major, augmented, into a crescendo in a london flat   a steady beat thrum rhytmatically
Upturned corners of a blush pair of lips. Hot breath. Squinted eyes. Tear stained cheeks.  Boisterous laughter. Slapped knees. Gut squeeze. Friendship Stomach cramps.
one day she's 6 years old and she gets yelled at for stealing the other kids toys at kindergarten recess.
Eruptions, explosions, stars dying emitting their luminous lights that exasperate us.
It's like my thoughts grow outta my head; every curl contains every word I done said every song I done heard every book I done read And that hate and pain is like shea butter
The ants go marching one by one, Green crickets chirping crudely. The picnic basket weaved of brown, The footprint of the giant, The soft tear marks of his weeping.  
I forget that the fall leads to a rise. Because as you descend there must always be room to ascend And the same can be said for climbing, only to tumble down mercilessly
She was peerless as she sat on that bench,  Much so that an agonizing gust of wind couldn't ruin her unblemished appearance. She didn't have to say a word, not one sound.
The essence of happiness is a feeling of positive energy that consumes you… on days of praise. The essence of happiness is a feeling… sent from the heavens above.
I didn't believe. What happens when you die? Is there a heaven and hell or am I living a lie? I didn't believe. You see stuff on the news. You figure none of those things can possibly happen to you.
OH! the joys of Summer
I don't know why you wear a mask,
Sat back to watch the branches sway
A cactus A softball game A riddle A pretty name My friends My family A good book A preacher's homily
I always used to see rainbows as a kid-
I missed you and you missed me too And right as you walked into the room I saw you shining like a galaxy of stars. And my mind caved as you walked right in By the pretty girls and their gossip scene
Your eyes brighten my heart, your smile takes my inner child and caresses me, soothes me, if my eyes rolled back and I melted into the very essence of your soul, I could not be happier to be inside such a wonderful image of beauty, happiness and
I never knew strength until you held me in
Hold fast to love  for if it disappears 
To any other person around, You are just another face, lost in the crowd. You are shy, out of the way, immemorable.    To me, You are the bright light in the sky Guiding me through the dreary sea.
*This poem is the first of a pair. It's partner is called "Potentially Perfect Poison.  
Happy days come and go but nothing more They say to prove your worth or else be sore Ive come and gone and begged my soul to greif Alas it has been nothing but a dream.  Those boys and girls pertain to nothingness
I'm happiest after the lowest of lows, the deepest of blows. 
i had taken 50 tylenol, in intervals of five on april 2ndapril 2nd, because i felt that april 1st would be a day too cruel to get a call from your child's school
One day the night’s shadow will creep upon the vast skies,
You are you And I am me And together We are better Than I could have ever Conceived   I love when I turn And our eyes meet And your smile Is wild Effortlessly
I'll say it all throughout my emotions
Blue is a stillness with which you are familiar. Blue is the cold wind, quietly reminding you of the weather. Blue is the sound of the snow falling all around you so quiet that you could easily forget it yet so loud you want to keep listening.
Green is the sound he makes when you spin him around high in the air. Green is the trees he climbs on. Green is the grass when he rolls down the hill. Green is when he asks you to join him. Green is when you say yes.
the first time in my life i ever smelled a stick of incense was at my friend lindseyswe were in the fifth grade and she was my very very very best friendshe watched all the cools eighties movies
So, we sit We wait What now? The smooth, seductive sound Of the blues swim around us The intoxicating moods that shift all around I look at you You look at me
AM I JUST INSANE I'm different, thats ok, thats good, That means i know what's understood, But how different do you have to be to considered crazy? I just think other people are wrong, 
Hard to see the beauty Through bloodshot eyes Lying awake all night Just pondering a disguise  
Dark eyes, dark hair; The spitting image of Dad. Grandpa jokingly says, "Maybe you'll grow out of it." Just maybe. But I'll always be a daddy's girl.   Pick a spot Pick an experiment
What is my purpose in this world? To take up space, to be a filler in an empty place. The idea of existence has always been confusing, Am I here to succeed? Or will I end up losing?
And so the time has come as it has before,
I go about my life busy like an ant on a hill, but one day I stopped and decided to chill. I found if I listen, it's not that difficult, I could find some peace that wasn't invisible.
My captions do not tell my story
I have this theory  If only we could fall asleep in each other's arms,  I am certain we would dream peacefully together;  Perfectly harmonized.  Our hearts would thump softly and steadily; 
I am one person In this world  Nobody to play with  Nobody to talk to  Nobody to look at  How Can I Smile? If there's no one  In this world to be with  I am all alone 
People always make analogies Saying birds are free; they want to be birds. What is a bird? Nothing more than hair.
Oh, how I yearn to see the ocean again. The soft, cool foam drifts up the sand. It glides over my feet, And pulls me by the hand.   Quickly, it splashes my mouth.
If.
If  
We are expected to be full of ourselves. We are expected to show the world only What it wants: Perfect People, Queens, Godesses.   Like prisoners on a hunger strike
I hope you remember me I hope you know that I still love you I wish that you smile, everyday I wish that you laugh, all day long Those are my hopes and wishes  I intend to keep those
Rejoice.
Finally at peace with lifeafter all the experiencesafter all my self righteous expectationsI will no longer put myself through the strifeunrealistic were my thoughtsit's time to let go
The life we live in is the life we sin in
Happiness They say the happiest person is often the saddest, They are the one with the most pain inside   Masks Everyone has one. As children they are blank – wide eyed and wondering,
I am a world traveler filled with interesting foods, Amazing memories, fun people, and beautiful pictures, I love coffee, tequila, and meeting new people, I am confident, I am smart, I am happy  
  The plans the worries the stresses the fears. We all want to smile but some don't know how. The ability was lost some time ago without realizing what we've done to ourselves.
Work hard to achieve them Have to dodge opponents It will be hard, but possible Aim high
Adventure always calls, I have learned to let it break down my walls.   I travel far and wide, Open to new ideas and experiences is an example of my pride.   I have gained new skills and confidence,
i have visited again  the place where i grew up i can taste the meals she makes and feel the love she gives us all the scent of freshly blossomed blooms fills the air around me.
Not everyone understands the little blue feather, the amount of hope that feather can bring, it is more than just an accesory tucked in a hat, that little blue feather represents hope,
No filter Well, I am pretty pale, and my teeth aren't that white. No filter But my smile does radiate, and my skin shows that life does have a bite. No filter
Through the lens, you see is a smiling girl.
A step in one direction can lead to a path of endless possibilites and contentment. For as long as you hold the willingness to attempt to walk this path. 
They tell me emotion is weakness. They say I feel far too much to create something productive. But I can't control it. I am me, Because of what I feel. They say I speak far too excitedly,
My flaws are what make me flawless. My flaws are what make me human. They make me a part of a society in which nobody is perfect, and that makes us all flawless.
Don't tell me.. How to feel, what to do , what to be   Don't tell me.. How to cry ,when to lie, how to see.   Don't tell me.. It's not the world  but it's you, look at the thngs you do.
The flawless part of me Is that I’d rather be Making others happy instead of me.   I believe happiness is contagious And this is one virus That everyone wants to be infected with
Any man who has surveyed any land can tell another:
Morning, its your wake up call, Don't fall back asleep, you might not get another chance, This might make you want to get up and just dance, Rewards don't just come, don't just glance,
I am... smart funny cool. I am... more than just a number more than just who you expect me to be I am... special and ia m free of your judgement I am... only me
I sat and watch the stars above How gracious how belove The nature and the love The earth is full of beauty, With nature unity What a blessed creativity
Who am I without technology?
Who am I without technology?
<3   You could see it in their eyes. They weren't quite friends anymore. The way she smiled for him, friends don't smile like that.   The way he puts his hands on her back,
Days wear on, My jeans feel weaker, I begin to feel like a pawn,
You may think that it's funny, Puts some laughter in your tummy.
Myself is the way, gone astray-no way.
My skin. The skin you want to mark. Why should I let you?
My heart thumps as he comes closerpalms sweating, breath quickening.he sits at my table and glances at mewith eyes as blue as the ocean.
I am strong,Even if I do not belong.I am dedicated,Even if I am continually deprecated.I am loved,Even if hatred keeps me shoved.
One and Only, I am truly yours, But, promise me something? And not just a regular promise, A pinky promise, And not just any old pinky promise, A REAL pinky promise,
You lift my youthful soul, A sinking ship Your icy blue waters warm me Your firy red sun chills my spine These waves we ride send us soarng through the night At daybreak we see the light
I am young and feel as if I don't have a voice. The things in my life I don't have a choice. Others try to give encouragement and advice, but how do I know the truths from lies?
I am a goddess   I am fierceI am flawlessI am strongI am passionateI am courageousI am powerfulI am a goddess  
Boots scuffle and kick the dirt. Big bulls snort in anicipation.
The wildest, rawest sound I have ever
The Wander is a nomad with a purpose. The Wander walks without fear. I hold my heart close, knowing I can trust the tides of the waters rather than lips. The Wander is free.
My eyes are blue, like the sky at night when the stars are out, illuminating the distance between Point A and Point B, but they never cease to shine,  even when the day replaces the night, 
My breathing turns to laughter, my eyes glance up.  
The music cures; my soul is crying,
A smile can go a longs wayYours so happens to effe
Today has been the first time I’ve smiled in years The first time I haven’t cried myself to sleep The first day I haven’t been forced to smile on queue I remember those days so well; my scars won’t let me forget
Life is a journey and happiness comes with exploration.
Three words, Only eight letters, Sounds simple, right?
What if smiles were traded like currency? Service with a smile is a requisite Not a nicety Government bailouts Would nevermore distribute unevenly Vibes are consistent Zeal is flourishing
it escapes me
Every night, When I go to sleep, A whole new world opens its doorways for me, I call this world my world of dreams.   My world of dreams is a happy place, Where days I spend without a trace,
Perfect people aren't happier, Use brain and not the heart,  Want this perfect, want that right, Look perfect, do perfect, Perfection stresses them all the time,
The wind is talking The change is coming The clouds are dancing And the sky is smiling The sun is bright It’s shining down on us It’s lighting the way For us to walk straight
I have lived in the past In the dark and the light I know good and bad
The things you doThat make me love you: You make me smileYou make me laughYou work so hardYou’re my other half You really careYou really listenWhen I’m with youThere’s nothin’ missin’
Before I was born, everything was okay, 
Even though I'm freckled and thick Even though I'm blind and poor Even though I'm short and white Your words don't hurt me anymore   I've come to learn what it's all about
Im running and hiding in fear. Everyone around me points and laughs at me. I run to the shadows but your there. I beg you to leave me alone but your there. 
Happiness Is the one thing in which no one should  Live with out but the flip side is there
No one considers acting a real occupation, But we are all modern thespians. From a young age, we’re taught emotions to use as masks for everything: Happy in public, Stoic in times of danger,
The first time I knew what love meant
 Bullying is for the weak  Bullying is hard to beat  you have to stay strong  To survive what's inside  You think it will disappear  If you stay hidden within,  yourself and keep it from
Well, I'm sort of shy And I think towards the sky Usually about pi And sometimes in rhyme.   Sometimes the way my mind works Even shocks me. Sometimes I say dirty things
From beneath the dogwood tree I listened to wind rustling                           across housetops and through daisy fields till it was over me singing in my ear tooting down my throat.  
There's never a statute of limitations on an apology. Tell me what makes one think they are greater, or almighty. Behaving ridiculously. disgraced I am ashamed to be your neighbor.
I want to give you a reason in life To keep on keeping on Put down that razor, you could someday be a wife Nobody wants you gone   Stop crying pretty girl, you are beautiful in every way
Props and patterns, It's all up to you. How do you choose to feel today? You see, Lately, you haven't been giving yourself enough thanks; Enough paint to finish your masterpiece.
The wind gently blows. The leaves fall from the trees, down down down they go. The smell of marshmellows roasting in the campfire fills the autum air. There's a sudden rustling of crisp leaves. Campfire songs are sung.
The dead end sign is just a sign. And that dividing wall is just a wall. Those stereotypes are just words from the ignorant ones. I am better than what you think. I am more than just a minority,
     
            Free spirit is my trait I value the most.
As the sunset and the stars begin to shine the only thing crosses my mind is WHY
Love Day in and day out Sexuality questioned because I don't follow the common guide to attraction I want to love too But why should I follow society's rules? I want to be held I want to cuddle
I can't do this too much pressure My family don't need me they don't have enough confidence in me No matter where I go it's always the same Quite school it ain't taking me no where School is boring I don't need this
My sore feet walk over the cobblestone and all I can see my dream ahead as I take one step at a time. London's bridge came falling down. While others drowned, over the edge I climbed.
Her hair, is the light which my eyes crave,  like a miner hanging onto a dead cannery. Her skin, the silk I lust for,  like a foreign dignitary in a feudal japan.
Happiness The pursuit in life Like our hopes and dreams  We must never lose sight For if we do We are no better  Than a simple rock  that has endured the weather  
“Stranger” She sat there in disbelief, The things they had written were so malicious. She read the words on the screen:

Lines upon lines of this beautiful art Who's composition lies within the heart, Of the artist. No need to see or to view  For the beat plays through His mind, His head,  There's nothing he can do
A car crashed After being quiet abashed From a seed of pain
Step by stepI move to the beat.
In the sterile room she lays,
I lie in bed, drowning in its white sheets and feeling trapped by the dull grey walls that surround this oddly shaped room. I notice every imperfection this awful place holds. The cracks in the ceiling as deep as a canyon.
A human has two hands Made to explore the land And touch all that is grand Shaping the world into a dream
Look!  Look! Up there in the sky! A canvas of grey, some splashes of white. Look! See! A sliver of blue, That slips like a bullet straight toward me and you! Oh! Look!
The prospect of independence, The idea of alone time, With no friends around, I just do my own thing. Everyday would be a new adventure. Everyday would be something interesting.
Have you ever felt the kiss of a good book? It's delectable-- the wispy yellowed pages caress your fingertips
What beauty and sights, hardly;

The iron is my best friend, my goal is for the bar to bend Training to maximum potential, my possibilities are exponential Conquering my goals vehemently, proper nutrition and training frequently
Last night I looked at you And I could feel it  I could feel the love that filled my entire body  The kind that made my days  the kind that made my toes curl 
The golden hue of a time forgotten  Silver shades of today, Together they meld into the generations of my family. Charcoal shadows give character to the night While white light bathes the day in hope.
Let’s play pretend   Let’s pretend we’re explorers, roaming through uncharted territories, undiscovered scars
You were my favorite thing Hearing your sleepy voice at 4 am As you struggled to stay up with me   Listening to your attempts at singing lullabies That would lure me to sleep

The world               Is so...                          dark. What I've been taught to fear And what I hear When there's killings,                                  and beatings
A catharsis exuded alongside pencil and paper. Not always compliant
Smells like melted butter A pinch of cinnamon The local newspaper headlines Events that will only be known within a five-mile radius Hesitant sunshine dipping into the kitchen
You could say that everyone thinks of me as a little crazy; simply because they don't understand me. I spend my weekends with my best friends, but we do not talk to eachother, we speak to eachother in a hidden language.
Sometimes I wish it was possible to freeze time and live in a single moment for forever. Like today, today I stuck my head out the open car window, listened to the leaves crackle
I'm suffocating I’m drowning My cells collapsing I’m being dispersed Becoming air I am almost nothing
My art encourages me, And amplifies my sound. It embraces me for who I am, And makes me feel free. Unbound to the troubles that exist in this world, Lost in time itself, That is who I become.
The streets turn to ice, and flakes fall fast. 
What is a friend? If you are unsure, I can tell you more? Friends are not selfish This I can say for certain My Friends are not the normal type They are loud, proud, black and bright
Black Crow Roar Me Your Song Should I fly? Should i soar? This bird stays caged no more Like a phoenix, a fire lays dormant inside Notes running frantically, jumbled up in my mind
Oh Summer     Oh Summer, Where did you go? As I pondered, I missed you so.
A day has not gone by Since I been apart from you. Waking up to your sweet aroma Arouses me with joy. The moment you touch my tongue I feel shivers through my spine. Every time you met my lips
swing sets---have this way about them when you’re up in that momentary air you can reach up and catch infinity before sewing it into your pockets. -----for that split second gravity has nothing on you.
What makes Anonymous happy is not anything sappy except for the two preceding lines. What makes Anonymous happy is to see others happy-- if only they would be happy for the truth.
  A golden tear escapes my heart, And memories of childhood overflow my mind, As the colors of violets appear in the sky. A mellifluous melody imbued in my head
What is it that brings me joy? It's rather quite simple, It's just being who I am. I am a dancer, A writer, An artist, A cyclist and a linguist.   My passion is in living
When my name be tied to success My spirit shall soar past the sky. Forever I am free of stress, When my name be tied to success.
Living a life of nothing but lies is living a life where everyone hides. Hide behind those bright blue eyes, hide behind those clear blue cries. She is strong she is bright she is thin she is light,
Knowing you’re waiting for me at home makes my day seem torturously long. When I walk in the door, I know right away I need to find you—I’ve been craving you for hours.
Schools in session, Welcome another year, Almost time to go, Yet my homework pile contiues to grow. SLEEP, what is that? FUN, what is that? LUNCH, hardly get that!
If my emotions traveled up a ladder, Then my feet would be debate Biting and electrifying against the wooden rungs as I fight to emancipate from the acceleration of Gravity, now commenced.
Times will be bad,
I'm proud of all the effort that I put into my mental well being. The previous despair that kept me frozen and unseeing is easily done away with due to my new medication.
There are thousands of songs With cheerful melodies And smiling musicians That say to lighten up The world isn’t a bad place It gets better The list goes on
In your mind you have a place One that only you can access  Scenarios that never come to light Things that only you can imagine A place where you can be happy   Reality hits, and you're back
A beautiful life is one which is adorned in words, With no words would be, No "I love you" With no words would be, No promises, With no words would be, No memories,
My main source of uplifting comes in the form of an object which you may not expect. It consists of a cover and pages filled with words, Yes, it is a book, and perhaps I am a nerd.  
My footprints in the sand, I have the whole wide world In my hands.   Nothing can hold me down. I'd like to see you try To bring me down.   Cause everything in this moment,
I am uplifted by Music.   If I can put in my earphones, I do it.   If I can replay a song that energizes me, I play it.   Music is my outlet, Music is my Forte. 
Herald, the wait for joy no longer the case!
I read to escape reality Yet another builds up around me It engulfs my being and doubts my existence on Earth
"I want to be a superhero" My mom smiled and nodded her head She made me a cape
Oh no! The words flew from the mouths of bystanders seeking the cause of the accident. Not me. The bitterness of my salty tears flowed down my face like a thunderstrom swirling in my soul. Not emotional tears. Laughing tears.
Seeing you is like looking up into the sun.  You're so bright and warm, and you light up my life. Hearing you is twice the fun. 
In my place I am alone but not lonely I am the wind and my friends are the trees,
A Jester's Guide to Happiness

Mother Earth spreads her children far and wide. Their existence is well-known by but few. My discovery the groom; they the bride.
I'm trapped by society. A society that works much like a beehive.  The world follows this unknown queen with lingering questions left upon their lips.  Our life is a cycle, a pattern of actions and commands.

Atop the steepest hill, my hand comes off the brake again. And I move slowly at first, But that soon changes. I Pity the wind that tries to stop me as I go faster: faster than everyone
It’s hard to imagine where I’d be
I dreamt that Summer crept into my room  One Fall night Betwitched me into bed sung me sun-struck and kissed me (I think I made it up inside my mind) She drowsily whispered 
When I watch golden, fluffy dandelions turn into white puffs in the wind, I think of our finite days on our finite planes that have to finitely end.

In that dark roomat the end of the never ending hallway,laying in her white sheets, in nothing but a gown,all alone,with the clicks and clangs of the cold machines,the rhythmic beeps taunt her.
This thing that makes me smile 
Crisp air, pumpkin spice, gloomy skys. Ringing of a bell, and a rush of young kids. Laughing of old jokes lost in the separtion of summer. Sharpen pencils, and new books. Sniffling of colds and curing of hot coco
I am me and no one else; A cluster of stars, Made of gentle fish kisses, Covering my flesh, With tender softness.   My eyes reflect the moon,
What's my favorite thing? What makes my day? Sitting down, my spine uncurling,
Oh! The leaves crunch beneath my feet And the only human sound is my heartbeat! Looking to the horizon, I see the changing trees; Their glorious, colorful beauty makes me quiver at the knees.
The sun peeping through my window as my 6:40 alarm clock goes off. My coffee brewing as I get ready to leave for school. The 14 freckles that take up your face. The kisses my puppy gives me when i come home.
Staring out the window the snow dances quietly in the pitch of night beyond the sparkling lights in the Christmas tree The smell of hazelnut and cocoa  laces the air from the steaming mug on the living room table
Time for memories For loved ones and laughs and care Staying together
As Summer comes to a close and Fall flowers arose my mind lingers on those who were taken by bros. When family hurts family the pain that I feel is stronger than I can yield and my knees buckle to my heels.

Today, I found myself  beaming today, happy, gleeful, and laughing. My heart swelled with pleasure. My eyes gleamed with awe.
Food makes me really happy
The Message in a Bottle By Tapiwa Mzumara     Standing in front of a crowd

The hour glass flips over as soon as you're born Time creeps away like nocturnal raccoon You go about life like a winding staircase At first you take caution with every landing you reach

Now
A little bit here, A little bit there. It carries itself Freey, proudly Smiles and laughs, Helps it grow, Let's it bloom. Turning into something, More beautiful;
       
The excitement of life Persists even when the world becomes a blur. So much wonder is ahead Time to change - Time to learn. We can make our own future And the future is bright.
Her Happiness By Adriana Gutierrez    
What up-lifts me is being in the sunlight Looking back and seeing the dark inside the tunnel. Still in sight, but getting smaller as I move forward. I’ve been on this ride for four long hours
You ask “what brings your  happiness?”                                                                                                         it’s not such an easy question as you might think                                                      
Senior year is finally here, Bittersweet yet fun, With football games and homecoming, It's only just begun. My friends, they stick beside me,  as they have year after year,
  Free days And what my friend says Is that we should be together And love one another. Sweet delight Will make it alright. The smell of books Nick me with their hooks.
"How beautiful," I say
The first time I met you, you were going on and on about potato salad my complexion pallid, nose wrinkled, you didn't notice how much I hate potato salad you shoved it into your mouth claiming you could eat buckets, gallons,
I know you may not like it but it has begun.
The clouds stroll in; they strengthen the ice blue sky.  The orange and red pop against  puffs of heavy rain.   Sweaters unearthed from cobwebs and dust. Warm maroons and toasty browns
When you see me, Am I invisible?What am I? You conversate to me like you know me.But do you know?
An assortment of leaves tumble from the trees like raindrops as_ Crisp air flows thrugh the earth as fast as sunshine. Autumn. Warm sweaters, campires, hot chocolate, and books all bring cheer to the season,
It is the pinnacle of happiness, Acceptance, love, friendship, and safety. Some could light up New York City, Or just someone’s day. It gives you the words you don’t have, And what you need to hear.
Stick aroundbut don't be Elmers. Keep updon't fall behind. Push yourselfbut know when to pull. Reach for the starsbut stand your ground. Be happy!but don't be afraid to be sad.
A feeling is awakened in your soul Somewhere only music can reach A swelling in your heart A tingle all over Emotion rushing over you Peace, sadness, anger, happiness Beauty in the form of emotion.
  When you look for it you can’t find it.
People make this world go 'round. 
Crisp air of autumn, Cool breeze drags gentle fingers through hair hopelessly twined, Firey colored leaves chatter below my feet , It is a field that hold my peace of mind.  A mane of white sleet,
Doesn't it
Music is a escape to me, A way to travel to a different planet while still physically being on Earth A way to release all hidden emotions And a way to forget all of my problems temporarily
its a cover its a page its a hand with a pen its a rainbow Its a sky its the waves And the sand its hopefull it inspires its what i love Its happiness.. its mine  
What makes me smile? Well that's a funny question, For the things worthwhile, To me at least, Are simply a facial expression.   A sparkle in the eye,
A place where most people fear,
Shameful spirits are surrounding me, who wants to see me fail
Not only am I looking forward to throwing my cap up in the air on graduation day.I'm also looking forward to that special day,The day I go college thinking of who I'll become.
It's weird to think I used to hate myself. Look in the mirror, cringe and coil away from myself. Ripping apart the person that is me. Wishing away every little blemish and piece of skin.
I stay positive for friends and foes. They're the ones who need it the most. I try to be the light of their lives. Just to keep them one more night. Alive. They need to know someone cares.
He first saw her from across the room and he knew in that moment he would be her groom with butterflies in his stomach he drew near but had no clue she too felt an exciting yet nervous fear
little one
Music cleanes the soul of dirt from every day life It heals humanity of the sorrow, yearning and anger
My hands grip the controller, Energy flows through my veins, I feel all the power, As the title screen begins,   I walk through fictional gates, Where my new adventure awaits,  
It takes baby steps, I started out crawling at the ground Wanting to be different, so I walked into dozens of Audition rooms to distinguish My playing from others.
My soul is dark, And the light that glows within is dim, Try to see inside, And struggles you will find,  my naked soul,
Mild mornings, warm days and cool nights. Swimming, amusement parks and sweet summer fruits.
This is what I need The upbeat keeps me focused Music is my love.
See I often think with my head in the clouds But my brains always in a bit of a drought  It is not that I'm lame or full of self doubt I just always wonder what life is about 
Do you hear that? Me either. 
Inbetween the mountains I lay Waiting for a warm breeze. These days are rare now. I look around, I see beautiful, towering trees. The snow on the mountain tops shines.  
The low tones of my cello Resonating through my own chest The harmonic accompany of the orchestra Sixteenth notes and eight notes Whole notes and quarter Half notes with dots And rests in no order
A slate gray sky above my head, The leaves on trees a firey red, What marv'lous beauty to behold, When Summer sighs and becomes old!   Her green effects begin to fade
When all is gone I will always have my factory. Her gears twist and turn and shout out with the clank of imagination as plates drop from one machine to the next, proving that it was worth the stretch to the next step.
The day you left, Marked a day where a part of me was gone. When your spirit left your body, It took a part of me with you. I was in despair, Yearning for the days that you come back,
The thing that makes me happy is out of the norm,     it doesn't have a specific shape or form. It can open wide, or it can stay shut.    Watching it spin is more than enough, I love the way it shines in the light.
We lay on a blanket, Underneath the night sky, Seeking the peace Of the countryside.
Here is a poem that I wrote for my beautiful mother. Your love is empowering over my soul gives me strength everyday to continue the next your love is sufficient   i know
I love it. The endless conversation The pointless laughter The sun shining On my beet red cheeks, I love it. The tears of joy The moments of pure bliss The days I wasn’t able to sleep,
As my feet stand here in the nation of corn fields,
She's my perfect little princess I'll let you be the witness Watch how she keep my heart beating, like im concentrating on fitness. You hurt her then I make it my business, See this girl here I care about
Red, Blue, Green and PinkV- necks, halters, tanks and spagetti strapsBootcuts, skinnies, jeggings, and skirtsFabrics and different shades one after another,
Do you know what it’s like to be left out of the crowd? Do you know what it’s like to have no friends? Do you know what it’s like to feel like you are your own best friend?
He Is Bliss    
It seems so easy to say that you are happy To smile and be filled with glee But me, I wonder how we can make it last forever. That is a mystery. My mind it thinks the keys to life 
It's clear life's circumstances get hairy, Once in a while we're not quite so merry. But when that seems to happen, I get my toes tappin',
When the sun goes down, Nyx takes flight to the sky.
Love the scent of Chicago cuisines, 
what is happiness sweet bliss?  a simple feeling? a broken heart healing?    when you hang with friends the joy never seems to end joking around a night out on the town  
When highschool is over and graduation begins, there'll be laughter and joy and faces wth grins. When highschool is over and life offers choices, My words will be heard, my thoughts will have voices.
Lightly fluttering from flower to flower, 
It's a world painted with love...lust...passion...hate...intrigue and so many other heart hitting things.   There are roads that lead us to our happiest moments and others to the most tragic times of our life.
The tightening of the bow The pluck of the strings; Let the tuning segment begin. The audience anticipates its entertainment. This is the main event The eyes of all are watching.
Music is free like broken chains.
A school so lovely!Lovely with a divine reaches,Reaches of a many.Many of an uncountable,
I hide behind my smileso fresh and clean
Art
  The pencil  It lands on the paper, waiting. Waiting for the race to begin; waiting for the picture in its mind to bleed onto the canvas Waiting for it to be caught up by a storm of motivation
When twilight settles into my bones and all feels still and fleeting I take an adventure to my happy place A place where star rays tangle in the sky and slide dreams to earth on twinkling light
Great in battle, the strongest warrior- I am that I am. Loving and merciful, grateful and beautiful- I am that I am. The one who is, was and is to come, Elshaddai, Emmanuel- I am that I am.

I own my daysWeekdays? I got this. I succeed.But it's on Saturday and Sunday that I feedMy soul.I do what makes me happy.I live my life the right way, but my wayWhen I do chores, it's still play
The beauty uplifted me.
The sun is rising leaves are falling, the crisp, cold air has arrived I love the feeling, within my whole being, that you have awaken inside you are my sunshine, my moon, and my stars,
Thoughts People, Friends, Family Music
A pug who snores and grunts in her sleep, Who doesn't regonize rich from cheap. With a curled tail and a slant to her walking,  And enjoys peering over curtains for people watching.
Whether it's soft or LOUD
When I say “I love you”, I mean it I know it’s right
My happiness is the way the sunlight glinted off his skin that morning The green flecks in his deep blue eyes. The way he timidly brushes his fingers against my hand while were in public.
If happiness is success in life, then what is dying? Everyone's hyped up on the thrill of life; few are ready to go. And when they do, who's prepared? Even the one's who've expected it
Happiness can be considered as different things People find the joy in money Others find it in drinking But my happines is laughter I never knew that a smile from someone can make your day
Hello, you there!  With the two eyes and feet, With a mouth so red, Looking so clueless and in defeat.    What are you, there? With the mystic sorrow gaze, Appearing so solemn,
Happiness is key to life and finding inner peace
we all want happiness is happines ... my job  my kids my spouse my relations with others my religious belief the question is if it is these things or all how to obatian them?
Words tumble faster than I can write.
I have so many people in my life That i adore so much. But the people i perform with Have a special place in my heart. I look at all of their faces as family. Every day i look forward to seeing them
What is love? Love is humanity's magic, Love is life's essence. What is love?
From all the stars in every galaxy,to the electronic melodyof every song that comes through my eardrums.From every relaxing activity
To be happy:   sip coffee in the crisp, early mornings before crawling out of bed. skype until 3am just to see your person laugh a thousand miles away.
A dash of joy, A pinch of smile, Remove all bad memories, Throwing away things all vile...   Stir in the fun, Chop up and mix in every great time, Pour into soul and body,
Nothing in the air silence, peace, tranqility nature is caling
I'm sad, tears down my cheeks.  Walk to my room, the door slides open. His excitment, running, jumping, barking. My smile big, pearly whites showing Jumps in my arms, licks my face

The joy I find when their near The tingling sensations that appears With warm embraces Smiling faces The sound of laughter wafts through the air The glow in my heart for all to see
I sit down  First day, first class New faces are all I see  I see smiling faces Faces, all staring back at me Comforted, that's how I feel Routine, that's what I need 
It’s been a long time without you, This leaf burning season is always so hard, I have so many memories I want to relive But I won’t hold back or leave my heart guarded.
Forever by my side, 
What is it? What brings Joy, Laughter and Happiness to one? We all seem to lose ourselves in life. 
Happiness can be found in the air or in your hair. Happiness can be heard  in the laughter of company or in the peacefulness of your country. Happiness can be felt in your heart or on your skin.
Nimble fingers, busy hands- A guilty head tilt off to the right  As delicate lines kiss the page. She spends her imaginary free time in a world of her own. Armed with a pencil,
I’m a poet…and I’ve always k
What make me happy are sweet things A delicious run on my fingers The vast joy of ice cream that lingers Infinite red velvet cake tickling my dreams My most precious times are with sweet things
Here we are in the best four years of our life, We stared this jorney in a new world, it became urworld, and soon we will have to leave this world. Sometimes between exams and friends the world beats us down,
The best feelings in the world are simple.    a bubble bath.   cuddles with a puppy. a hug from a missed sibling.
Determination. Self Will. How they coincide. Hand in hand like how I am when I am with you. The force that your aura brings when it meets mine. But from where does it stem?
Hey dude, its your birthday today, You are still so small but you think like a giant wall, The days we spent together, all that stuf in library, for me its all about memories, today i take stand,
Fool   Beauty is something that can come in many different forms. Beauty is something that is found in everything, In everyone. But this beauty comes in certain places for everyone,
Wanting, Aching, Craving  The World.   To expand my mind to places farther than my backyard or the church, To learn a language of love by being surrounded by foreign lovers,
MONSTER!! MONSTER!! Come out and play! Your my best friend please just stay, You always had a big furry head that snuggle in my arms  We would stay up telling stories of animals in barns 
There is no slavation from the seemingly eternal damanation, which is a highschool education. The grim calssrooms The leering tests the clock which teases and taunts, a task at which it is the best.
Especially in the day light, Your brown eyes shine so bright,
I smile forever. The soft music starts to play. Then our hands connect.
What is Happiness?   Happiness is waking up in the morning just to see the sun rise. Happiness is the smell of roasting coffee and warm pancakes.
The day of all days is the day that I triumphed,
I'm happier than a bird singing a song. It's all because of you, mom. You bring me from my darkest moments and make me happier than a bird singing a song. My only wish is for you to continue being the same.
She smiles so deeply that it leaves imprints on her cheeks. Her laugh brings joy to others that are far beyond her reach.
Am I wrong for being different, unlike the typical boys? The ones who sag their pants to the floor, as I look around it feel like I am unsure
The soft breeze sways the trees As you twirl me in a bed of leaves to the rhythm of our beating hearts You pull me close and our souls' music starts   Your breath whispers in my ear
To avoid the darkness Nature is my happiness  The trees, they shiver cold  But now I have something to hold    The sun fills my eyes instead of cries Water flows feel like my hair
Now that summer washed away, and school is in full swing, I realized there's no time to play, or warmth until this spring.   I must look beyond the gray, and look for all that's good,
A cold breeze.  A silent hum in the air.  A breath slowly fills my lungs.  Happiness fills my soul.  Long hours in a quiet room.  I finally escape the chaos that life has created.  The leaves fall on the ground and I let it all go.
ZRO
My true happiness  is my love for you my true happiness is that you exist, Beautiful
The naive caterpillar twists in all directions That's what I love the most That's right, follow the path you think is best Shout away all your frustrations any day, Every day, 'Cause it's never too late.
I remember that night It was bitter and cold... The light had extinguished, as if the sun had ceased to burn. The darkness moved to surround me  Encircling my flesh and piercing my skin.
The bustle of people, yeah classes are starting again.
The Sun on my face My heart's filled with grace
Fingers poised and ready, Time to keep them steady. Don't worry about your dress, Now take a steady breath.   One, two, three fingers start, Two more join in, creating an art. Music is flowing,
We are black and white Light and dark Angels in halos Of the conflicting sort   I am the black Hiding in light's shadow Wishing and waiting for when I shine too  
What makes you happy?    A question we all ask ourselves.    A lot makes me happy.   
Where did all this Happiness come from?This Another-Day Smileleft-right-left-rightforward-moving Attitude?Was there a life before mine,a waiting room of sorts,where a Pre-person picked
Vernal and cheerless, juvenile and morose, thrown into the world,  a beautiful black rose.
It's the scent of burning fuel, And the sound of pounding pistons. The hurricane that caresses he face, As you roar out of the final corner.   It's the origin of the ripple of laughter,
Music, the sound of vibrant feelings, Makes me shout from rooftops and sky alike, Fills me with rejoicing and promises that spike The interest of new hope, of laughter, of fulfillment, And all I want to do is fly,
You only hear ambience But I hear music. The air swirls around me The world breathes to the beat of my heart, A constant, pulsating light: Strings, percussion, and a choir of Earth's creatures.
Memories are what stitch us together, Allowing us to smile through anything. Those old conversations, The long laughs we shared, Crazy adventures we courageously became part of.
Have you ever looked around and ask yourself  '' What am I do here?'' , you stand still, feel the air, hear the words, and you just wish
Playing rugby is a blast, I'm sure our team will never be last. I'm so proud to be member, Of a team I'm sure to remember. Playing on the team lifts me up, Especially since we're sure to win a trophy cup.
What is it that gets me going? Get the blood rushing and my brain flowing Imagination running superspeed  Many ideas formulating future a masterpiece Inspired much by nature and others but it is I that will lead
There are a few weird things that make me happy
Coffee in a steaming mug, Arms wrapped in a warm bear hug, A day of peaceful falling rain, A laugh.  A smile.  A daisy chain.   A sun that shines up in the sky, An ocean breeze, a seagull’s cry,
The greatest thing, I have ever seen Is you staring back at me.  The sweetest music,
Summer falls as fall arrives: Crisp, cool air and crunchy, dead leaves. Smells of hollowed-out pumpkins, bringing extra sparkle to a perfectly gray sky. It is time for the most wonderful time of the year.
Summer is over but not all fun is goneits time to start art projects and get them done!thinking outside of the boxits almost a way of getting H
At times happiness can be forsaken Disregarded as if it were an obscure memory   Smothered beneath the weight of its more prevalent rivals it eagerly waits for an opportunity to emerge
As I gaze I see the sky change from blue to pink Then as the night comes the moon whispers in my dreams I do not know of the words that it speak I just know that the world turned and is now smiling at me
That's why I do it. When I'm alone you don't know In the dark you can't see. Just turn the light on and you will see a new me.   I desire to be liked
A new year, a new day. A different hour, a different moment. Each day, I still wake up to beautiful little people that make me smile. Being able to inspire and teach them what life is about,
towards the ground. painless frown. Towards the Sun. Contagious Jubilation.
I refuse to let you go
There's something to be said  that I seem to find my little piece of happiness in these people's turmoil and drama. My brother calls me stupid and says it's just a show. It's not. It's more than that.
Cool wet air slaps my face.
Music is the melody to my soul It helps me stay in control Oh the bright sun takes a toll  The night sky is my song Yet it is not so long I love to write and think  It makes my heart sync
Is it money? Is it to love? Is it to be loved? Is it fame?   Or is it just to appreciate life as it is.   Life is full of possibilities and despair  
You turn my face red You turn my mood blue  Sometimes i'm so fucking sick and tired of you!   Our fighting, its endless  Your jealousy left me friendless But thats okay 
I am happy for everything in my life  I am happy for the parents I have  The friends I conversate with  The house I live under  The food I eat  Even if I did not have those things, I will still be happy 
Bang, Pow, Wham Limbs hitting punching bags at all different angles. Rainbow colored belts are everywhere.
What is beauty?Magazines, movies, TV will have you believeIt is a mold:Flawless skin, no blemishes, no poresBodies so thin you get hungry on their behalf
Apart And awake We lie Thousands Of miles away Thoughts crossing paths sooner than our physical bodies will be criss crossing limbs Hands smearing body oils
I dreamt of clouds in skies of blueWith crimson streaks of light,And all around there was the soundOf laughter and delight.Where worries were a memoryForgotten long ago,
He looks at me with a face of bitterness and resentment
I've been called strange And maybe deranged Because my views on school aren’t the same When August rolls around-  I cheer! Hip-hip-hooray for the new school year! Oh, no, you too?
You know what makes me happy, I like laughter and people lauging, at funny jokes I tell my friends happily, when life goes wrong, we are again laughing, for life without joy is quite sappy.
I'm proud of who I am to be Mostly because I speak my mind But mostly because I am me.   Some people say I'm too soft spoken I just don't have much to say really
I may be the loneliest person in the world; Maybe I identify more with the dead than the living.
Without a tongue how do we speak Without love how do we feel  Without lungs how do we breath Without faith how do we hope without hows, how can we accomplise anything  The world is filled with hows and whats
I found my long lost twin in France. Hanging in an art museum. She is pale with long curly red hair. Like me.  She is a goddess, born out of a shell from the sea. Not like me.
The other day, someone asked me what made you different from all the other guys I've dated. And all I could think of was how happy you make me feel But it got me thinking, shouldn't every guy make you happy?
If I stay....
We humans, we stomp across the delicate grass, As if it were not there. But if the grass were human, it would call you an ass, Lift you up and throw you into the air.   We humans, we rise up into the sky,
Summer is over And the school year has begun Gotta hit the sack early now  Instead of Chasing The Sun.   Summer is over No more Twerking In The Rain Gotta hit the books now
I am six and playing with a
three-thousand miles away on a barren planet where kaleidoscope skies paint murals of the aliens. a town where all your friends’ families are also yours, unchained doors down every street.
This feeling of depression, sadness, sorrow . . . Will this be the oppression of tomorrow?
Under the Milky way lies a small freshman wondering at the wonder expressed by her fellows.   It pleases me to stay up an hour  explain quark-gluon plasma rather than go down
Everyday I get to spend time with friends, family, or my love makes me happy because I enjoy the time i get because i never know when will be my last day.  The day I g

We sing we dance we paint many things with whirling hopes that surmount to withering after they fall off the tree that was thought to grow paper. Trapped in our own thoughtfulness a glance passed to us
I watch my streets 
Get up now don't let the door hit you. Ay pick your head up and start living. Life doesn't wait for you. Not now, not ever. So get moving, it's jiggy time. 
Thy feverish smiles
I am not the one who can walk into a room and be the center of attention I am not the one who will be voted as prom queen I am not the one who was born with a silver spoon I am not the one who is seemingly perfect
Reflection I See
What is the love of confidence?
Look all around you and tell me what do you see? Are people fighting for originality? Or hungry to be like you and me? This world lacks individuality, imagination and innovation.
Everyone has their life problems yet mineMine seem to be different than the restI can't seem to solve mine I need a signThough I do know happiness is the bestHappiness is what makes the world go round
She wakes up but refuses to get out of bed; she’s too scared to allow more thoughts in her head Standing before her mirror she begins her daily ritual, who will she be today?
    Six feet under I wonder what I could've done better Changed my chains, got a job, moved out the cellar, Rent a car, take my Ma on a first rate vacation,
Dad
Your love means the world to me Please don't get me wrong But I both think we know That it's time I move on You raised me and bathed me, and put me to bed "Forever and always"
On my mind are words from you, that I'll keep there a while, and in the hallway, books clung to chest,
I am me, that's who I am. I don't go by your rules anymore. I am not just your pretty girl, I am so much more. I am a boy, a girl, neither, both, I am one, I am anything and everything.
My life, is great compared to some others, There is no logic for me to worry, I am loved by both father and mother, Thanks to whom, I never need to hurry.   Yet I live in the world, surrounded by:
My fingers are on the keys I just need a release My head is spinning I do not want others to have to feel this way My new goal is to help them I want to inspire others   I want to tell them
I love you for the graceful care for the humor that lightens my soul for bringing hope of love into my life I love you more for putting up with my selfish needs loving me unconditionally
Joy
I am not able to tell you WHERE exactly I will be, but I can tell you exactly HOW my life will be.    First off, my life will be blessed. 
She called upon me to aid her, to stop the crying.  Her crying is a marathon runner who can never reach the finish line. I’m no savior, but I’m the only one left to care.  
I exist within a beat A moment of synchronized sound.  An instance, determined by an ongoing tempo.
She called upon me to aid her, to stop the crying.  Her crying is a marathon runner who can never reach the finish line. I’m no savior, but I’m the only one left to care.  
Love is a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs But everyone wants to go for the ride And it always ends in a smile .
There was once a boy who was not willing to fight For he was always humiliated and seen as shy. In him, there was no courage and only fright. He was fragile and only measured a short height.
My skin burns where your hands once were like acid on light flesh. I've taken four showers today to try to wash away the pain but your handprint stays on my porcelain skin.
Soft steps echo in the hushed hall. Dark figures sit and stare while Warm rays of light fall on him. Standing in center stage in front of a piano He bows, and then prepares for what is to come.
Prisoner of Words Unsaid  For so long For so long I've been a prisoner  A life sentenced prisoner for a crime they committed for me  Like Alicia Keys "I'm a prisoner of words unsaid
There's a world outside this hell-hole that I now live. I've been dreaming about it since I was in the second grade, This world is busy yet calming , This world has opportunity and exotic people.
For now time is a cage Longer lives Longer days Does it really matter your age? Some belive in finding wives Others belive in a job that pays
I love you more than words can say.
Happiness is an internal thing. all of the money in the world can't fulfill the thirst a human soul has for joy, for peace.
No need for sadness for the deceased  They lay in peace  They are only sleeping  No need for weeping  Just smile Your heart is strong, it could run a mile. 
Sunset settles on the east As the sky darkens Stars twinkle While tine slows downs Owls awaken Yet, birds fly south Heart beats And I stay still waiting waiting waiting
Rain   It was so cold,   We wandered through the woods to seemingly nowhere   Just because   Not even talking, just walking  
Brazen, blazin sunshine   and exposed lines   of joy on each other’s faces:   Smiles too wide for our lips.   May we brighten the world;  
Is my mind so unoriginal, it can't think in another way? My thoughts have turned sappy Since he came around that day.   I love him, I love him He loves me too. I want this for forever

A suffering child shall not cry. A suffering child shall not let a tear run down their cheek to stain the soft brown skin that child was once felt comfortable in.
To be a thing of staggering perfection, Unlost in a crowd of typography, But not to the masses of passerby, Rather to one specific soul Who sees a light in dim, dust rooms
What's my secret they ask, why this smile never leaves my face The truth is it does, the truth is kept secret.
He makes my days alright,
Greyscale. Life in technicolor is too                                 Overwhelming. Vivid descriptions Of encryptions Designed to make the host oblivious To the afflictions
My mind was my place. It was the only place I could be me...  It was mine..  Until everyone started putting their input inside. Then.. My mind went from happiness and sunshine to darkness.
have you never marveled at you being simply alive?
Did I grow too fast? Was it suposed to be this way? Youth is a state of mind. Yet we dwell on the physical. We are an embodiment of the costant reminder that we are nil.  
Much like this journal, there's a Place I go 2unlike a book, it's in my mind's eye.There, jellyfish fly with butterflies
Pursuit   I search for happiness knowing it exists. Days pass without success. This doesn't cause me to lose hope. I continue to pursue happiness.    Finally my heart is filled.
As I drift off to sleep, my mind enters into a door of dreams, a door filled with adventures for me. Suddenly, I find myself in the sky in marvelous flight Seeing the world from up so high.  
You
It was rough, it was gentle. It was sweet, it was harsh. It was tight, it was loose. That is what it was like, to be with you. 
Your whole being is incredible. I hope you know that; Sometimes you put yourself down, but I still think the sun shines from your ass and We've been together for years. It's unbelievable You're a new person everytime I see you, so forgiving and...
The point of this is to be heard Among a crowd, one reads my word My story and struggle one must listen
A passion is a longing, A deep down tug or sorts, That pulls and guides you every day, To new mountain tops and new ports.   My passion is very special, It involves all of you,
Betraying my body.  Excersing to oblivion.  All food maticulousoy monitered.  Under the control of the fear of gaining weight.  Telling myself if I lose a few more ill be happy. 
I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know what it means to feel motivated in something that you really love doing since people expect you to be perfect. I continue to push but for what?
Two hearts beat as one. Two souls missing the other half are a perfect fit.
  Like a dancer, She skips, twirls, leaps A ribbon of happiness Trailing from her toes As they brush the pavement
"Sometimes love comes around, and it knocks you down just get bac
If I said I didn't miss you, I'd be lying.
         Dreams are dead-getaways from reality. They are like remebering  the times you loved and missed. You are ever-more longing for it never end. But still you know, it must end.
Whenever I'm lonely,  I don't count on my friends.  I don't count on my family. I don't count on any others.
Why does it seem like I'm the only one that cares? You said you loved me, but the love isn't there. See, this is what I was afraid of falling too hard, cause now I'm flat on my face with bruises and scars. 
This is for those who can't stand up and speak.   And if they ever did, they would come across as weak.   The ones who are lonely, hurt, alone, and broken.  
There are certain things that just cannot be done. You can't sneeze with your eyes open. Have you ever tried imagining what those colors that are invisible to the naked eye look like?
Every day is a gift Wrapped in a present sent from the divine Decorated in ribbon exhibiting the power of his creation Strong enough to demolish all human strife
Today was a day of sorrow and grief Tomorrow is a day that is short and brief. Although its a terrible path to tread There is nothing I can do instead.   There are things that no one can understand,
There were so many sleepless nights, days where you'd lie in bed, and hardly even bother to see the light. You couldn't find a reason, but you were just broken.
For such a long time, I wished I would feel,
And then magically, I was staring in the face of my 14 year old self.A face filled with joy and passion and promises of love.And a handful of butterfly's for the hopeful ones.
There is a world yes where a mouse can talk and ride a floating carpet
Lights Within Us Ashley Shea   A spec afar Whose luminosity amplifies as darkness approaches A small light Suspended in the gloom Much like the hearts within us
There is a strange peace in loneliness,
Right now, I may not be able to give you the Sun, Moon, and the stars in the sky as I wish to, I may not be able to lift you up to taste the clouds and touch the heavens,
Your baby hand: so strong, s small. Your fragile head; I won't let you fall.   Your eyes are closed, and you're asleep; yet you are perfect from hair to feet.  
I write because I want to write
I know it is real but where is that which belongs to me? MINE I search and long for the things that will make me happy. I PRAY they  will   come
Contemplating life without you is like attempting to contemplate a world without laughter. Because without you there is no laughter.
He made her feel like an abandoned house with broken windows and doors There were a lot of broken boards that never got fixed She had weeds growing in her heart but to her surprise he made her feel as if she didn't  matter
         We will live.
This: a whirling vicious cycle underneath
happiness is a scary thing. it can be taken so easily, ripped away from your grasp, snatched away from your clutch when you’re already so comfortable, so accustomed.
I see you
Some people are bullies They manipulate people in sight They love to call people rude names They only do it to start fights   How you heard of Tyler Perry's movies
Not a day that goes by without you on my mind The smile you showed and the voices you make You were something else, something I can take My dearest boy, you're the one to blame!
It seems to me, I long forgot how the warmth felt like How beautiful flowers bloom or how wild trees blush Forgetting how beautiful the birds sing into the breezing sky on a summer day, don't you wish it was just today?
Depression kicks thy neighbor down, Escalating, Spiraling, Right smack in the face, Body, Groin. Drinking espresso, Listening to music, Lana Del Rey, West Coast,
I fell in love with you when you asked me a question I fell inlove with the spaces between each word you breathed I fell in love with how nervous you were Hesitation then laugh Hesitation
Sitting outside Watching the clouds go by The tree nearby With leaves to the sky
Close eyes, see your dreams Close mind, feel our beams Hover night, why it is so long One shake, one shiver The night, will be cold Inisght, none will be seen Tickle Tickle Tickle
Joy
   Laugh lines creasing their facesJoy exuding from their heartsThis is the experience that`ll change my life
This world is spinning at a steady pace, When we create all that we are ready to make,
The ones who wear their heart on their sleeve  We are the few the ones who are constantly stepped on The ones no one understands because we are too fat or too skinny
My dream job would be: a kid.   Now, that may seem utterly ridiculous. Well, it's "right" to think that, in a way. Experience may say differently to my choice, But first, hear what I have to say.   
The one who is that "special someone", springs love in the air, once every year, this special marketing time to express your love to anyone,

If you think of Spring, what do you see?Flowers, eggs, bunnies, or bees?I see the grass, green and lush;The streams filled with a serene gush.The sky is a blanket, infinite and blue;
For all of my lifeI have been told,"follow the crowd"and "fit the mold".But I am unique,you see.
Stop, drop, listen, see. Birds sing, sun shines so brightly.... Vivaciously free.
In the beginning, there is frustration. Faith is weak, as you find no peace to keep diligent. In the beginning, there is exhaustion. Life is tearing at your priorities,
Once upon a time, Not to long ago, There was this beautiful woman. Only knowing you a short time, I must say, you had my attention. When you looked at me, I was swallowed up in,
Love is the cure for all disease, and also the cause,
the date looks like tally marks and that would make sense to a man like you   logic reads every word for you and your biggest fan is a mathematician   you smile at me
They all look so happy    Cue smiles and laughter, no sign of any real disaster
If I could close my eyes and count the three, there are certain things I would change about the world around me.  
I wish you understood what goes on through my mind I feel like your leading me on but I now you just need time I feel like im being selfish and should just distance myself but again its not like that
Some say that bitterness is what broke you, and ripped your seams apart. But whatever it was that consumed you, longing is what lies inside your heart. A longing to be better, is the single thread that binds you.
Didn’t you ever think about the heart you were breaking?At first I couldn’t believe it when I found out what you were taking.Then reason set in,And I knew I had lost you.
Pau
When I was young and you were younger, We laughed and had a grand old time. When I was young and you were younger, We thought we were invincible. When I was young and you were younger,
  Coming Too Close             Jump on me             Let me flee             One which way             Go away            
  Who you are, fascinating             Beyond measure             Uplifting in all ways             Down right to my funny bone             I never forget
The clock ticks seconds away A sudden ring - Children scramble for the door, But not Lily.   I wave goodbye to the others, All the while pondering the lessons to come. Will they improve?
There are a thousand thing
Don’t eat,
In the beginning we were happy, I was happy. By total chance Jay and Elle found each other. Even worlds apart, there was this fire that burned, It burned hot, it was a fire that burned deep inside.
  Alone the rain is not your friend It soaks your coat and taps your head Your feet grow cold and you fill with dread
If I could do anything,  I swear i'd have the world changing.  i'd make everyone's lives better,  create world peace and end hunger.  Cure cancer, end abuse- keep someone from hanging a noose. 
I think sometimes the sky should be a chalkboard that I can scribble on That way everyone can see my thoughts And maybe be entertained They would see ornate designs and oriental shades
Permanant marker X's  All across her mirror She stands in the same spot  And looks at every error  Like a wrong answer  Like a failed assignment  But at least she won't have to look 
Once I stared at the page All it took was a second The words would come, the sounds so easy   But then the heartbreak came The abandonment from those I loved And I couldn't write
When your used to speeding through life, As I have done in such a short time, Running every stop sign, Shifting up through red lights, Ignoring every sign of caution, Total disregard for the consequences,
It’s not just one job; it is a future. Your future. My future. The future of the girl who sits in class with bright eyes that will eventually be dulled by the desk job she will be thrown into.
I love you in waves
All I want to be is a mom to those without.
All of us have our moments when we see others feeling down It is our job to reach out , grab them and pull them up from the ground Looking around this room, I hope most of you will understand  
If I had the power to make a change, a big difference It would be simple, a feeling, to travel a long distance Around the world, from sea to sea Spreading the feeling of sunshine and glee
self inflicted pain I'm pouring salt in my own wounds. Stuck in the past; time doesn't heal after all.   Thoughts in your mind are constantly telling you You're not good enought to weak,
That whisper. That whisper. Distress. Suppress. That murmur. That murmur. Mortify. Fortify. That cry. That cry. Duress. Redress.
Sometimes I feel loneliness in my soul, loneliness that even with people around me it can’t be removed A loneliness that I have since December Not even with the funniest joke will this great solitude purge.
When starting out  We are like a cocoon All wraped up in love Blind to our surroundings As time goes on we start to break free We find out that our cocoon of love Was never what it seemd
When will it stop? this beautiful pain.
I’m tired. I’m tired of turning on a TV that only shows me pictures of pretty girls, perfect girls, all a size double 0.
I once saw a child whose eyes were wild Hyper little thing with dreams and hopes in the mind Running, running, jumping, playing, smiling Her world had talking stuffed toys, adventures filled with imagination
Free of her father,
You can buy alarms, locks, and keys,
What if I became a philosopher? Would it change me and open my mind? Will it teach me more than I have learned in high school?   I long to understand the minds of many popular people
How eerie were the deep blue skies,
The Joy of Baking   Do what you love Never work a day Alone in the apartment Just the oven and I.   I bake up a storm Never stopping to worry Just cookies and cakes
Although it seems to be in the trees, or maybe that sun, or birds, or bees, that make us all feel a bit more alive, I think this solution resides inside. Happiness can't be contracted like the flu,
Sometimes I want to pause And bask in the light Of a moment when Happiness fills my view  
I walked with my shadow, side by side.
Two things; Listen, listen, listen...let me pour out my heart to you, it's just a matter of how Don't judge how I feel, you can't really know I'll tell you my story, my weakness I'll show
A job I want you cannot interview for A job I want you cannot walk through a door A job I want employees only a few A job I want is not new A kid with a new puppy named scrappy A job I want is to be happy
Lately I've been dreaming of you. They were peaceful, happy dreams: Dreams full of smiles and laughter, Innocent dreams of love. I love you more than you know. And the times we share mean the world to me.
A poem from the heart by: Jazmyn Edmonds  
The tiny pink pads of your feet putter against my skin like distracted fingertips drumming out a playful tune --- consistent, assuring ---- leaving paw prints on my heart in the sweetest of ways.   
It’s so strange how things connect.
  I just want my life to be gumdrops and rainbows.
Waltzing and whirling Dancing with a joyful tune Singing to the moon
There is a drop of poetry in my heart Just as there is poetry in each crater on the moon And there is poetry in each vein on each leaf in the forest
o1. bandaids for the earth where she’s splitting at the seam and soft butterfly kisses   o2. flower crowns for every head turned down, make lonely corners
I remember the day, Back when it was all games, Back when nothing was gray And all you had to learn were names.   The years went by, The classes got harder.
Valiant and Virtuous               Right under sight             You are stars fine light             For what many seek out             The northern arrow
Find YOURSELF Place a foundation of POSITIVITY Add a abundance of
We forget the words of equality that once were said, In the fight for Civil Rights blood once stained the roads red. First it was women, then it was blacks. Round and round we went and now we're back.
Dust in the airGlaze creating a glare.
will always bring my mind back to you- to the endless lovemaking and the empty bottles of tequila.  Lemon will always be sweet to me, sweet with the memories of what we had. Lemon
It’s when the morning light breaks through
You're running low on hope Life is like climbing up a slope The wars wage all around you But I know you will come through And now, I promise you Everything is gonna be alright
What is it about the world to have the colors of the rainbow?
A stream of compassion flows with peace A river of grace is love
A smile is usually looked at as happiness
Music Is My Life, Let The Lyrics Be My Spirit,  The Melody's My Emotion,  So I'm Hoping That You Hear It, Music Is My Passion, To That I'm Truly Dedicated, I've Been Chasing My Education, 
This one’s for every cheesy moment. For every “no one understands.” For every cheeky little child with a wish that could fill an ocean. For every sap story that has already been done before.
I won't die alone And waste away to skin and bone I'll hold on to the truth And onto my youth No more So I will soar So I will leave On this breezy eve I 'm scared of what comes after
The first time I saw you, you were sitting at a lunch table reading the first book of the Harry Potter series alone.
Giving the world a better place to live, Imagining the people living in peace, Viewing the world through each other's eyes, Enemies no longer exist have hate to give.  
The pain of not being able to call you The hurt that comes with not being able to see you The bittersweet light at the end of the tunnel when I think I'm finally over you
Imagine, A world without hate, A world without oppression, A world with peace,
Happiness is the truth it is the key to my youth  Some say love is greater but call me a great debater because happiness branches off
What good would Earth be,
we ask for nothing but to be respected yet you treat us like an abomination
There is so much more to you than just your body, Although your thighs are thick, And I watch and wait, as the time ticks, to slide you out your clothes.. I heard,
My sociology teacher once told me,
Dejection, No affection. Depression, No expression.   Happiness? No. Not anymore. No more blessedness. No more galore.   Why do I still love. Why do I still trust.
Anticipation is a beautiful
So I am Living, breathing, moving, What for, who shall move me? I move myself, but why? I watch myself from time to time Watching in awe, who am I? I am no one, but really I am everyone.
This is for the girl
If ever my love were intensified It would have surely commenced at this time Your humor’s not amusing forever
My body is covered with a never ending darkness that surrounds me. Taking me over, it's gotten inside me. Eating me alive and slowly killing me. I want it gone. I want my body to finally feel free
Leafs leave in the winter and return in the spring. Like how the elderly pass and babies are born. we laugh, live, and learn. boys and girls play, clothes are torn. Then we feel a lovers burn
A society that tells the younger generation YOLO Live for today, dont worry about tomorrow YOLO Live on the Edge YOLO But WE are not called to live for OURSELVES YOLO
I choose to be happy. I'm not gonna sit around in a slum waiting on something or someone, I will be vigilant and ready for when my time comes.   I chose to be happy I didn't cry and smash my fist,
Each sweater dangles merrily in the closet, without worries, brushing sleeves.   Some days, I become envious. I separate the plastic hangers that suspend each carefree sweater

Your time today could be your last
Earthly Things By: Anyssa Q. E   I enjoy these seasons, and this time and this life, The sun and the moon's- shared Siamese twin light. Upon a galaxy spinning, seeming to be in flight,
Happiness, a feeling an emotion Everyone can see it, yet only few can feel it. The world is forced to wear a mask of happiness To hide true emotions, Emotions that no one likes to see.
The orangey yellow autumn trees never looked so stunningDriving by, no one but myself at my side
No one can say when.  No one can tell you exactly what or why.  We just know a change is coming.  One thing I hope that will change is the meanness of people.  We are so bitter.  No one can disagree without the other having hate in their eyes.  T
 Look into this mirrorAsk me what I seeThe answer could be really simple,I see me! Only the outside; just what everybody else sees
I am waiting for The day I can wake up With a real smile on my face And I am waiting for Obama to really Make that change And I am waiting for God to let my
They say that between love and hate there is only ONE step. Every time I heard this I would laugh and think how is this possible?
Five years old, sweet, innocent and a virtuous smile. The children salute the sun and a strange place of knowledge "What do you want to be when you grow up?" ask robots Happy. I want to be happy.
  Feelings are a blessing, a truly magical thing Feelings make you laugh and dance,
  You're so damn tired of feeling down in the dumps But you do nothing to pick yourself up
I don't want to look death in its sunken face And realize what I've left for the human race To remember me by is nothing but Insecurity and shame, oh it isn't enough I want to leave behind a legend, not even grand
A harsh day at work A depressing night at my dwelling But no matter what I may quirk Her smile is the only thing that’s selling   Her smile lights up the room It lights up the day
You were my oversight and it wasnt intentional not on purpose.
Love is forever Love is fleeting Love is kind Love is harsh Love is ease Love is hard Love takes time Love makes time fly Love is fragile Love is enduring
It was another bad nightAnother resort to my pad nightI can’t even write, I’m so tired…But it’s the only way I can nod outIt’s like a high to me.
Is it fake?  To wish to belong? To want you? Such confusing thoughts...   Is it wrong?  To rush this? To be this close? I'm not sure...   Even if the inevitable comes
I can't look at you smiling Laughing with you is confusing My best friend such comfort But I feel so unsafe now Your touch so overwhelming To smile, sigh, flinch, or cry I desire your grip and kiss
Bro lets hit the rock! The beach, where I truly feel free Its the only place I really want to be I'd rather not be anywhere else Anywhere else just isnt the same Anywhere else is completely and utterly lame

I can't describe the feeling in my chest I may be blessed but I'm still feeling stressed I can't find words to say what it feels like But I'll say it's like losing your life 26 months but in the last few weeks
Sitting on the warm hard tiles engulfed with water and soap Pondering about life and all of its hope The water stops and the door swings open Only to reveal a provoking commotion
Run to forget all the troubles of the day The faster your feet move the faster it melts away Fresh air flowing in restores peace of mind You find youreself running to something you cant find  
I am the Water, you are the Earth.  
I have been slandered misused and unheard
As fall comes around leaves turn brown nature changes its ways
Call me surreal, for I am a king, but not one of Royalty but of my own inner Majesty Through my pen you see, through my art I speak, I describe the impact of death and disease
I couldn't help it, I couldn't.The colors wouldnt workYou couldn't get along with the others.You thrashed without movingI could not keep you.
As I look back on those days when I was young When the sky was blue and the grass was green I remember playing with boys and girls my age And cutting out things from construction paper.
Childhood is innocence. The time when there is no choice But to accept any situation that faces you.
She walks a path, Her own... Hazy. No guid before her No shadows behind Only clouds above her and ground below, Feet dragging Heavy.
From the moment I saw you every breath in my body escaped every thought that had crossed my mind completely vanished Just as the walls began to cave in And just as the sunlight
My walk through the park
I’m so tired 
As I lay here only thinking of you, I wonder
One’s shadow is their own darkest enemy,
At the start, it wasn't so clear We met each other, with drinks of beer
the beauty of simplicity is an art in itself toes touching the dewy summer morning blades of grass
Open your eyes   Walk down the street, Look around. Look down at your feet, Do you see it?
I only need you   I talk to you, And the world goes silent. I listen to you, And my ears have new meaning.
What if for one day you had the power to live out your dream? Think about a day to live out something you've always wanted to do. It could be anything from spending a day with your crush, to visiting J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth.
Glistening ice shards sunlight coats the frozen field magic morning glow   Rustling desert sands wind whipping at tender flesh dangerous beauty   Mightiest oak tree
The wall of the wave comes powering forward from a small distance My heart races with beat of my stroke as I paddle into a good position
Sometimes 
I have a want inside meNot for anything in particularJust a want, a need, eating away inside me
  I wonder if anything in life goes according to plan Or if there will always be these little bumps The kinks in the hose that won’t come undone
I dream of a fun life, A life full of friends who care A life that is lived to the fullest. Before that can happen, College must happen. Before I reach the life I want to live
Forced to be bruised by rough dry earth. Forced to be touched by the whiskey breath. Forced to be laid down on dirty sheets. Forced to live in fear of another's touch. Forced to carry life within womb.
Do not say goodbye, please hear me out first; I love you, and know that I’m on your side You say it’s done and it couldn’t get worse While you reflect on the tears you have cried.  
What We Really See Nature is all around us Branches flow with the wind Leaves fall from the trees
In the world we live in today, people are not as grateful as they were in the past. The truth of the matter is, nobody cares for anybody anymore.
Aglow bordering the frames, million memories flush, gay and grave, family comes to mind, nostalgia is a bliss kiss
The sweet smell of roses in the air,
Happiness is you. Happiness is something new. Happiness is something borrowed and blue. Happiness is our wedding day. That never happened because you went away
The Love Song of Martha Alvarado “Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it.
I sit here, alone. Eyes set to the ceiling; thinking, too much. not enough.  Clock ticks, sand grains fall. slowly, fast, whatever. Sleep doesn't come, eyes never move.  Open, close, who knows. 
I'm  piecing a puzzle, but i cant seem to finish it.  I mean, its finished, but its not; its all there, yet something's missing; like, the correct complete puzzle, but somehow the pieces don't fit.  
The cup is empty, so i fill it; to the brim, to the top, on the verge of overflow; As full as possible, yet still room for more; almost too much, yet never enough;
When our eyes met it was a vision collision, it loaded my heart up with ammunition.
My room can blind eyes. The neon yellow walls fry pupils, Like sun rays daze unprotected eyes on the beach.   Be careful not to fall into the posters.
    First there was silence Footsteps near my room Soft whispers through the walls Slowly the door opened The coldness grasped my arms It took me to that place  
How could this be Almost every thing makes me feel this way Plenty of emotions but this one is always the most  People tell me they see this everyday
You creep into my mind,
Looking up into the sky into the endless blue seeing all the clouds passing by the green balloon bright and new The little girl was shining with glee this was pur happiness 
News Watching weighted stories singing cry songs of tragedy Screen and speakers purging Only deatlh or fear and death to tighten anxious bones of quiet mothers
Growing up, I was trained just like a dog, With a conscious as blurry as the deepest fog, My tail wagged eagerly at the voices of authority, Who convinced me that what school, church, and the news told me,
eyes that never lie
  ---AAAAAA
I believe in fairy tales so hopefully happiness can cure my soulI'm waiting on the Christmas bells praying Santa doesn't bring me coalI'm praying for Santa to give me those green eyes of happiness
Cherish me when I’m an absolute fool,
And it falls away,Nonexistence swallows it.Your own explaination becomes unexplainableIn your head, perfectWords unneccessary

Dear Teacher,
  Perspiration slowly drips onto face, the butterflies season exceeded in the interior, The brain playing drums with the heart, teeth stabs the tongue-
Innevitability: we all must go to school.
Dear my love, whose name is unknown I’ve encrypted my unspoken words onto this heart of stone   Each waking hour, each restless night, every passing moment all a paradigm
Love is courage. The will to take risk, The urge to please, The adventure of not knowing.   Love is war.
A man once told me “Do what makes you happy.” Happiness does not come cheap. They tell me: To be happy, you must freely lose your misery. To be happy, you must always raise your hopes.
Can you feel its' touch?
Some say love is patient, love is kind. The sweet goodies you get from romantic, feelings that you can't always define. In the meantime, it feels fantastic.   Is it love or is it lust?
  Happiness is but a myth of life,   A satire of it's own design.
It was once said in a lovely song That love makes the world go round But what happens if we lose all faith And can no longer find happiness or love? Has the world become so full of hate?
Love is something everyone wants. Tainted by sex, but love is love. Everyone fights to get it. Thats why love is a battelfield. Better bring your sword to cut off anyone in your way. And bring your sheild to deflect the lies and cheaters.
Happiness is something to be valued. Most want to hear the truth. I just want to be happy. 
Many in this world find themselves stuck
When my fingers brush your skin The tips of my fingers are on fire. Your energy surrounds and envelops Anyone you're with, Bringing sheer bliss. Without your light I'm not sure I could see
You are my star                                 My world                                                      My universe   How did I get so lucky?   Trust me when I say I’ll be there when you cry
Your mind is roaming, so full of thoughts. You cannot stop thinking, your mind is so wrought. Constantly doing something for others, expecting nothing in return. Silently seeking happiness and someone elses concern.
BEYOND VALENTINES© Glenn Johnson    Love’s mirage of simplicity:                    More than just showing up . . .
I remember sititng, head against the silver wall.  The engine roared, trembling the floor I slouched on. It sounded like some sort of wild beast. Looking out the open door across from me
A sea away, Endlessly long days, No sleep at night, A few fights, Plenty of giggles New food that jiggles, Chance of a lifetime, Cost way more than a dime, Want to go back,
Consecutive steps toward the threshold Yet 10 miles from the desired goal. Am I too fast or Is life too slow?   Reaching pinnacles ironically by hillsides Rather than conquering skyscrapers
Reading your messages filled with love, I'm full of sudden joy. You're my angel sent from above, my heart you could never destroy. My days are spent thinking of you and wishing you were close.
With time none a knowledge, The other side blotches red. Of what a dictatorship I observe Grows a seed of harsh rule. I watch tree branches die withered bark As you’re attacked upon which I only hear.
Three broken hearts all in one day, But my love for you still stays. We are silenced in the depths of darkness. I pray that someday the barrier will be broken For us to be away from the farthest of fears,
I need money, and i say this with all seriousness. I need money, I am alone in this world I have no home in this world will i beg, no, but i will ask, please give me a dollar,  will you give no, because you assume.
Flowers and grass fade away, but God's word will never change, Leaves turn petals fall, Winds roar, Trees grow tall, Sun shines, Rivers gleam, From the depths of a rushing stream, Ending the river shrinks in size, To the river's great demise, Thro

I'm enveloped in the black abyss of nothingness, I can see everyone else up on the surface but I'm still stuck below, here alone, I can see everyone is trying to help me out,
time can't rewind, though i really wish it could, if i could change the past, i most certainly would.   we used to be close, actually best friends, but drugs came into the picture,
Life is a wonderful gift from God However, it is not always pleasent  Hollywood has brain washed us in thinking there is a"perfect body" if we dont, then we look  ugly   People pointing people laughing
I was born in Maoming to the sounds of sirens and in the midst of yellow smoke, I’d imagine.   I was blessed. I could have died nine minutes into my life. Or before I took in my first polluted breath.
I escape this hectic world Full of hate and suffering To find peace and happiness This is my escape I come here near noon
The soft touch of warm skin Tenderness and comfortable smiles Hand-in-hand with him Living in the moment Feeling of infinite and endless happiness Cuddling and forgetting the world
A rose sat within my heart Closed off from the world. It dare not show a single petal In fear it would wither away. So it stayed in my heart, Encased in a throne of thorns.
Sometimes we dream so much that we lose touch on our reality. The lines between what we desire and what we need blurs. It's sad if you think about, the fact that what we dream isn't always reality. Our dreams transcend us into another world.
Do you have those days? When the world is on your side, walking by you, protecting you, to reassure that she, is not as bad as people say?   Do you have those days?
I dried a rose not to watch it die but to preserve the memories it holds i dried a rose not to watch it die but to keep your heart close to mine
I'm finally here Right where I want to be It seems as if it has taken forever For me to see so clear But here I am A college student Making her way through classrooms and side walks
You always say "don't confuse success with wealth" so would you shut up about your salary? You chose the teaching life, the teaching life did not choose you.
There are times when I love you And times when I hate you. This is the last time My tears will dampen my pillow I’m letting go.
What part of your mind, Says this is okay? What part of you decided, To treat me this way? You're meant to be gentle, You're meant to care, But whenever you're around, You're not really there.

Is this it? I have to find my purpose. I can't sit. I think about what God wants me to do. Why things happen, and what I been through. I know there's more. While men and women are at war. I'm alone fighting myself.
I'm the girl who can't get in trouble, the one who teachers talk to on the level, as a friend, knowing I'll listen. They know I'm not the girl to cheat or steal or even yell in their class.

There's a place that you can go, a state of mind. Where you scrape the ultimate supreme, marking ink in the lobes of you brain.   Spun by emotion and directed by Hope,

In the darkness of the room I hear your still, cold breaths I hold a candle light infront of my broken body I uncover the mask you hide behind   Discovering something wild You are standing there

Knock knock Who's there? Only death and despair Or is that what they want you to see? Why spend your days down when you can live with glee? Family and friends, that's all I need

Those three words short and simple But they carry more weight than a temple When I'm around you I feel like a young version of Shirley Temple When I'm not with you I feel more awkwared than a third nipple

Remember Remember the good times Remember the bad. Especially the bad. For they are the makers of character.   Remember to be yourself For no one can do it for you And that is beautiful.
I can't believe I was so blind, To see the mistakes I made, To see all the chances I could have taken, To see all the things that went wrong, To see all the things I could have prevented.  
Empty sparkles, From the gray-nothing up yonder, Swirling before me…

It began when a little girl raided through her mother’s old clothing on a rainy, summer afternoon. Boxes and bins began to empty as she set aside only the best and most hopeful of the pieces.

It's crazy the amount of meaning we can assign to symbols, and the things we can express with them. It's also weird, the limitations upon them. I can say I love you, and just barely scratch the surface.

Liberation is like a ringing in your ear. Silence is like the golden sun. My friendship lasts like tree trunks. My pain is exhausted wildfire. Understanding is my unlocking key, and compassion is my locket.
At the end of the day everything is done for a single idea. A single feeling. And that is happiness.   Happiness is not an object. It is not a person place or thing.
Dark Pain it is,the pain of desiregoing on and lose self once whole,entire. The silent screams,internal bleedinglosing breath,the venom exceeding.
I know a poor, old man.He is living in a remote land.And he is searching for his soul-for it was rotten-ed by gold. From faraway,the sounds reach out to him-and he listens,for peace forsakes him.
I can read,on her face-the daylight broughtonly misery and hate. Not all rainy days,are meant for joy-tears are the rains toys.
Soul there must be love somewherethis Darkness how -can it always prevail. I fear it has gone blackit consumes only fear-this has become quite clear.
Nothing is wrong with life,Everything just seems wrong. I have no where to hide my tears,or to heal a broken heart. Every room, hall, street seems sway,as of they don’t want me.
  Surfers are different from normal people While normal people are tying down furniture  And boarding up windows Surfers are tightening their fins And waxing their boards
I must sever the linkbetween the memoryand myself.But still I feel weak. My clothes still reek.My characteristics meek.Still caught up inyour everlasting deceit. 
It's hard to move on, When I see you every day. You say you're over me, But I still catch you looking my way. You walk past me as if we never had anything, As if I'm a ghost. You won't even talk to me,
O’, terrible awful mind of mine. How can I even begin to think when you constantly barrage me with these blatantly hopeless thoughts? My young soul yearns for the freedoms of innocence, yet you dash these nursery time fantasies.
Here I am, again I sit alone, time passes slowly as I constantly check my phone. I scan the room ony to find sympathetic stares, me at the table with a bunch of empty chairs.
Oh what do I do  When you're feeling blue  What do I touch  When I love you so much  What do I feel  When my love for you is so real  What do I smell  When you're world goes to Hell 
I hope you know how much your smile lights up the room, making all the little problems of my day dissapear.   I hope you know how much it means to me when you do something for me
Its something we have to come to terms with We see it face to face day by day But we dont realize it becasue until we have completed the maze that has us going a new way.
I fell in love with my bestfriend what can I say thats just how it went started out as somthing fun and intimate nothing that I really could imagine with in the few weeks that I knew you
  you are the morning sun,waking me with beautiful light refreshing excitement- knowing we've got it right   you are the waves at night, crashing onto my shores a constant reminder- that I'm luckily yours
First a sighting that feels… Odd. Something is coming. Not rapidly, But gradually, Allowing time to prepare.
Azure streams of chaos flood my veins. Hold me in your gentle hand to release my strain.
Its just one of those nights where I miss you more then ever. Even if we had seen each other the other day. I want you here, I want to know you are here still breathing the same air I am.
I swear it can hit you by suprise, or it can be planned. It could be fate. Love is a feeling that can completly take over. Love can be scary, It can be joy, It shouldn't be selfish, Or unjust.
A leaf upon the pond, drifting along,  No wiser to the water below than the sky above,  The wind blows it goes,  No control of here or there,  As the day unravels the weather above eats away, 
The eyes lock for a split second the tension is in the air  glance over for a quick check in my heart is in despair.  how i long to hold her and caress her hair how i long to wife her and 
Everyone searches for love. Some people just make a choice, Others have no control, and they just fall. Whichever the case, it’s hard. You magically get sucked into a hole, But don’t forget about your dream
  You deserve better,
I tried picking a flower as beautiful as you, but I found it impossible so instead I got two. I hope this made your day or at least made you smile and I'm not the worst valentine you've had in awhile.

Her past love was crapBut she took a chance on me, we met eyes in NevadaUsed up all of a split second to see that this would be more concrete than just a weekend evening at the MoheganDerived from Heaven’s gateDelivered by Heaven’s fate on angel w
Traveling the heartless tunnel, where I must defend, Where I must pace slowly, The Raging Wolf snarls in my glittered path. Muting the song of heartbreak with his temper, His seductiveness and lust-
Name your favorite thing about him they said. Name one? How could I? Maybe his persistence. The way he would look at me when I didn't have an intrest, Yet I was aware. again and again pushed him away
  She loved him So she gave him her heart While placing it in his hands She smiled and said Because I care for you I give you my heart Which holds nothing but love for you
They say that pain is Weaknesses leaving the body But I've forgotten how to feel, Well most of the time, But when I so be engulfed in emotion, I've never needed you more.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a love like this,My heart, your heart, close together, seam to seamOur lives like promises sealed with a kiss
"You make me feel, You make me feel, You make me feel.."Perfect.And if I'm perfectly honest I can't help it.All my attempts at being disaffectedAre utterly demolished,When faced with your affection.
If I knewo how to write a song I'd write on everyday. It would say that I'm in love with you And why I feel this way. It would have to say you're sexy as a desert rose.
I fell so hard, not even god could of caught me.  Had there been a cancer in my body, your smile would have made it dissapear the moment You said "hello" and even the hairs on my toes
Time keeps slipping by I love you more than before I tried to live without you But it seems I am dangerously in love
      When I kiss you, may the sun go down? It is like blocking out the world and ignoring this town. Crawl in my window and see what we can do, there is no other person I would rather see but you.
I want to know who I am I thought I was you…that buried deep inside my soul somewhere lied an essence as pure as yours, not tainted by the neurosis
She wore red velvet; redder than velvet was her heart. Gone were the nights of regret, she learned to cope with it. She wore black leather; blacker than leather was her hair.
McKenzie picked her poison quite a while ago. She never paid for drugs; instead they were her pain killers. They were an opportunity to pacify her demons. When she was high, she had no past, no present, no future.
  Tattoo my body with your touch and tongue,And I will smear the ink against your skin.So pressed together, blood and soul resungWill lift us two, so heaven lets us in.  
In a world consumed by hate and anger we blind ourselves to realize the true problem that lies infront...no love. Understanding that even though we are Humans and having emotions are normal having no love isn't.
I opened the paper and what did I see, A little stick figure looking back at me.   He made me laugh, He made me smile, He made me stop and think awhile.   I thought of my friends,
Such passion Such grace Hate is not her fashion Yet tears fall from her face  She took my heart Without a feeling Tore it apart And here I sit  Still healing In this pit
Down in a ditch. Hearing sounds of freedom. Wanting to escape but not finding the right way out. Nothing to do but wait. Wait as time goes by and years get older. Old enough to look back at what could have been.
jokes escape from lips with every staccato laugh i fell more in love
the flowershave all bloomedin August. and I wonderwhat it isabout you that has naturechanging itspatterns.  
Our happiness can't be judged by the money we haveIt can't be judged by the objects we ownNot even the smile we put on to hideAll the saddness that we've built up inside
The first time at my fifth grade Graduation, I was onstage saying a speech. I felt nervous because it was a big group of people. The first time I have a wrestling match, I always
I write to empower; I write to impress I write for myself, it's my way to express Emotions and feelings, they pour out in words Like waves crashing down, I want to be heard These words are like music, fluid and loud
We are alive, but are we living? One day will be our last. Scientists say the brain replays seven minutes of memories  after our last breath are you living a life worth remembering right now?
I don't want artificial, I don't want cheap.   Raw and pure, real and sweet.   I don't want half-hearted, I don't want unrequited.   I want you all, or not at all.  
Words carry me through life.  Words leave our open mouths. Ready to be heard. Ready to be found.   When I speak, I listen. I listen for the meaning. This is whats ignored.
Sometimes you need to know an alcoholic      to know your limit for beer. Sometimes you need to witness weakness      to conquer fear. Sometimes you need to know addiction      to know when to steer clear.
Face in the mirror smiles  haven't seen her in a long while Leather jacket in the closet guitar on the floor Mine for now forever yours Poetry strewn vague intentions
At last my one and only Beloved one is he Calling to my hearts yearning Daring to oppose its warning Eternity I hope we revel For far is the distance I will travel Great is the sea I will sail
It's something that's always hard to find, True Meaning, Self Worth, Your Place- Breaking through the constant criticism, Happiness is hard to truly define- Find literal Peace in a sea of woundrous chaos-
An elderly man Steps out his front door, gazing toward his letterbox.   A smile emerges His  eyes never leave the box
This is not a forced writing assignment nor is it just a bunch of rhyming words It's simple to explain and far more intellectual than any nerd   It's the rhythm to my soul, the simplicity aspect of my life
  Revel in many, first the art of fear. To paint fond pictures of the coming day, To abscond the life I hold closely dear, When butterflies can soon fly astray,
Narrow is the passage that leads to your heartAnd as I search for your loveI never come close nor am I ever good enough to have itI'm still stuck out hereAnd looking in, I can see itAll that love that once was
on a paper letting your hand free nothing important around you just me, poetry is something that I can actuallyexpress myself Keeping things to myself is bad for my health, Writing everything like how you feel
How has not the whole world falledIn love with such a beauty?Are we, star crossed lovers, called?I to be with a cutie? * Nightingales sing half as sweetAs you, my bird, do so speak.No.
  Ratta - Tat - Tat I hear you coming from your room, “how’d you get out?” I asked Rosy cheeks and a big grin a three year old can make, “I climbed down” he says,
Regina Fulton Clark Atlanta University   Trapped in the Hood
sorrow and pain tears of pity who shall regurgitate the best sob story next set me free i beg set me free
Wind howled through the trees, making them shake uncontrollably. The air shot through everyone's skin, it had been cold for so long. Yet there was an end in sight, the winter weather was gone.
When I die, I want your hands on my eyes, for when I am forced to exit this life and it’s temporary bliss,  I want my last sight to be of the creases and folds in your palms which have
I don’t want to do life today So I think I’ll just lie here I’ll be a Neo-Nietzsche Since life won’t do me either   What good is a body That only sees despair It’s not white or phallic
  A certain level of joy when in love One tragedy breaks the pure bliss So easy:  falling in love But is it truly worth it
Stop trying so hard And just relax Take each day slowly And give love back   Life is short And terribly long Painfully bitter Yet a beautiful song  
I've heard and lived in such a place, where fear is no such thing.  Where happiness its cheery queen and laughter its lofty king.   Some do recall this wonderland a burden held upon them; where happiness and sounds of joy are envy growing on them.
Denied without love  Living inside my own blood  Opening my heart  Betrayal without a doubt  Jealous of the rebounds  Seeing the world in you eyes but your eyes everywhere in the world
Haiku Brings to light deep thought that will release stress of life to find happiness  
Throughout elementary school, poetry was just another thing to read. I didn't like it at first, it was a tedious deed. Back then, I was and even still am a shy child. A quiet one, who's imagination was and still is wild.
You are the reason why i open my eyes,You are the one who makes me breathe,You are the reason of my survival,You are the one behind my smile...You taught me how to enjoy every moment,And what is the meaning of tolerance,You have made me strong eno
I remember when the fireflies danced in the night When hearts grew warmer, as coldness sprouted to life. When a single sign of affection brewed a storm inside of me and I pursued the glimpse of happiness.
Too proud for love,  But the way your eyes squint when you laugh makes me think about all of the beautiful things, So I stick to the script I didn't want to play,
It was a silent night I could hear my heart pounding from the inside, It poured from my lips and wrote from my fingers, For I will never love another as much as this one, Everything in the past seems like a lovely blurr,
What does poetry mean to me Poetry is the air I breathe Poetry is the words that feedMy soulTo make me whole Poetry is what makes me blossomIn the middle of spring
                                                             Calliope Is .....   Insecure like the sun..
I consider myself to be a little strange With thoughts always racing through my head I consider myself a dork because of my passions Things I love inspire me to write down what I once said  
I've been pushed my entire life Pushed down Pushed around Pushed off Pushed away Pushed by school Pushed by friends Pushed by family even pushed by me. I pushed what I wanted,
Love is funny, don't ya think?  I met you once, and stopped to blink. Is this for real? or is it fake? We hung out never, yet life's at stake. You kissed me millions,
Aboslutely nothing is wrong, besides the fact that my head is spinning, my knees are shaking, my eyes are rolling, and my tongue is turning. Absolutely nothing is right, because my mind tells me
Wait Blue Beloved, I want to tell you, let’s snuggle forever, and stay with me in bed sweetheartTimes will seem too hard to bear and I will feel like life is giving up on me
  Where art thou, happiness? Where art thou? Are you in the trees, In the breeze? In music, in books, in the air that we breathe? In the people we love, in the children we raise,
Little girls growing up. Limited in their visions. Little boys growing up. Limited in their prosperity.  Who are we? We the people. We are supposed to be free. Who are we? We the people. We are meant for simplicity.
I forgot  Those times I sat on my bed and cried, And sobbed my losses after all I tried And you sat by my side and held me tight You spoke comforting words to make things right.
So you ask me why I write... You want to know why I do what I do? So here, how about I give you a clue,  I am an emotional volcanoe just waiting to erupt, but not in the way you may think, I don't live to dectruct
Never give someone else the power to take your happinessYou are in controlBe happy with them and around themBut don’t let them be your sourceBecause when they eventually leaveThere goes your happiness too
The judgemental glares The critical stares They all think they understand But how is that possible?   Have they felt a mother's death? An ache of the stomach Yearning for a snack--
  “Lean towards me,” he whispered. “No. Lean away.” The teacher was watching. “I have a surprise for you,”  he cooed. “Down here.” I leaned down,  peered under the table, then I saw it,
laughter is music for the soul, it brings joy to all who hear it. laughter is the rhythem of the heart, which encompasses everyone within it's reach. even in the worst of times, laughter will still engulf you
The rage inside me is growing. So bitter, twisted, and all-knowing. Do I hide it successfully? My heart says it's showing. The rage inside me is growing.   The anger inside me is shining.
It’s true, I am old, and I am going out of style That’s why I don’t listen to the music for my FM dial. But I beg of you to stay, sit, and listen for a while, And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child.
 As these words ascend from my mind, this prosaic piece of paper transmutates  into something strikingly stupefying. Suddenly the cogitations of my spectators are saturated
  At times life is golden. Made of sweet honey, a sunny afternoon, a smile, warm hugs, the perfect lemonade. When time floats, and the clouds sail serenely across the sky. Those are the highlights of life. The memories.
Painful memories my heart storesLooking for a way through these doorsFinding my way back into the lightUsing up all of my mightBut when the darkness is backAll I see is black
The sea shimmers like sunlight on chrome Loud crashing waves and soft silky sand are my living room The beach is the place I call home   My home is unlike the old empire of Rome
True love shines as bright as a star,but friendship exceeded celestial expectations.  At any moment a star can burn out, but the entirety of the solar system is larger than that one star, yet, less valued. 
Never leave my side and never let me go. And I promise I'll do the same for you, as long as your love shows. Yes, I believe I belong here. Yes I want to stay in your heart, if I may.
I love you, so much stuffed in three little words; how much you mean to me can’t be expressed, in such an overused phrase. You’re my lover and my healer;  my listener and my sense of reason.
The abandonment that I have experienced,  no other should feel. Enjoy your family, if not for you. Do it for the peole like me. People who have no mother to say "I love you".
  A single drop of water Soon became a stream I closed my eyes to stop the flow Was harder than it seemed   The stream kept going on its way Continuous it flowed
Everyone always wonders,At some point or another,What I am thinking about.Truly, if they knew what went onUp there in my noggin,I'd pity them greatly;No one should have to seeWhat it is I have seen.
  head down between my shaking knees crying happiness so distant cant grasp it my soul lost in a dark place my mind confused you were here when people weren't
I wish the lottery and raises wouldn't bring as much joy as they do. I wish your happiness and satisfaction with life didn't depend on the amount of money you had.
Naturally I wear my hair jet blac with no perm,Naturally I speak my mind if I see it fit,Naturally I am artistic,Naturally in nature I am me.
Waves breaking on a quiet shore Darkening drier sand once more I stand searching the horizon Breathing in, feeling enlivened I hold adventure beneath my arm Yearning to run where the big waves are
I cannot stand it any longer Should I fight and Should I die Would I feel at peace or cry? O' wonderful person before me I can't help but feel as if you tease me
I am me, truer words never fully expressed Within such a world where not one shall wholly address The reality of individuality is merely a creation… A creation by those who once professed,
I may be a rock But spring made my life flow. Water restored youth.
I never knew I would meet someone like you, but I did. I never knew I would come to feel this way about you, but I did. I never knew I would get to go on a first date, hold someone's hand, have a first kiss, but I did.  
I never knew I would meet someone like you, but I did. I never knew I would come to feel this way about you, but I did. I never knew I would get to go on a first date, hold someone's hand, have a first kiss, but I did.  
On the outside, I’m perfect. I get exceptional grades, I talk to everyone, I share and let others confide in me, never the other way around, and I take care of others.Why can’t they see that when I smile I don’t always mean it?
It gets so silent sometime that I wonder if God can even hear me, No one to talk to because everyone has their own problems, So to cope I throw my thoughts into a bottle, Tighten it up so no one can get to them.
Excitedly waking up in the morning of dancing, white, snowflakes,Young faces bright and aglow at the sight of silver and gold bows,The rays of golden sun in a brilliant sunrise.
H: Hugs. Each and EVERY day. 
A: Thoughts, words, and actions are one. 
P: Having one person who loves you regardless of your greatest faults. 
P: Loving the people who make your world go round (friends & family).
With the autumn winds I sway As the sun shines down upon me. A cloudless sky of grey Above and all around me. And the towering trees
"Hollywood" , She said. That's my dream. Lights, camera, action.  A part of the scene. A comedy, a drama, a TV show. How will I know, if I don't go?  I'm leaving in winter. I booked I flight. 
Searching, but finding nothing. Why do we look for something that cannot be discovered? We all look forward to an illusion that may never appear. For happiness is not found, but created.
  Its simple parts cannot ever redress The mystery that dances across its folds Cloth and thread, no account for the success Which strikes plain garment with magic untold The power it wields to fully impress
  Sometimes you have to choose what is what you looking for Not all the time you may want to get what is seen Sometimes you may think that this world we live in It’s only a part of our imagination
The thrill; haunting my dreams Pink is glistening before us Luminescent dots of yellow, Flicker in and out of sight. The meadows are knives and feathers All at the same time; Feet blackened as asphalt
What does writing mean to me?  It's a way to make my words flow, like wind through trees.  A way to show on paper, the picture in my mind.  Despite the fact that I can't draw and my painting skills are way behind, 
Voices of my friends I hear it. Voices of my own I fear it. I'm living my life on an unbalanced ladder hoping that I will be a somebody. A tongue is sharp and can kill,
Introvert?  Extravert? No matter. Happiness is not electronic isolation No one sees you?  Be fair, you're blind too Masses of people blind to themselves Singular souls with eyes for machines
Happiness is a feeling not a destination.So why do we keep searching on a path full of limitations.Searching in objects becomes our new motivation to move up an elevation. Because tv ads have provided us with this generalization.
My  brother way more than a friend, to think you wouldn't be here till the end. To see your face, feel your warm embrace would dry up all my tears.
Where I see blue, others see gray. The sky is my  limit, but for others it's the ground. Perspective is important, it makes our world go 'round. Though life may seem hopeless at times you must push for happiness.
I can see the light the light at the end of this crazy maze the maze that  put me through the endangering hell. I am starting to think it'll happen,  the tears staying away,  smiles and energy, just being
Little bird in your cage why do you sing such pretty songs? trapped in a cage your whole life, and yet you seem happier than I.   Little bird in your cage why do you sing such pretty songs?
  Wrapped up in a blanket of truth; snug, warm, happy. Dowsed in fresh memories. Longing for a friend who cannot be found.
Sadness drowning me into the depths of the ocean as the sun glistens above me. The white clouds peacefully floating in the air while the Blue Jays dance with them. Now I grasp pain and misery. If I could learn to fly I would never return here.
I envy Happiness; so callow and myopic.   Ignorant she is                 but happy she be. She would not be as        blissful if she was as learnt as me.   Happiness makes             wishes
As I sit on the cool beach sand, my toes greet the brisk lake water. I close my eyes while I breathe in the crisp, clean, morning air, as I search for the light through the thick early fog. I can hear the loving call of a loon to its mate.
The sand maneuvers its way between my toes as if that is the place it was always meant to be/ it sticks there and stays in that place for days until hands force the tiny grains to leave/ scrubbing my feet to be sure that every last grain is gone/
Tears fall down my face, what is this, another heart break. At this point in time I am giving up. There is no reason to try with this kind of luck. If only I could find one special person who knew how to treat me right.
The pursuit of happiness, What is it exactly, Where do I find it, And how do I get there. It varies from one person to another, It is constantly changing like the weather.
I cannot be touched but I can be felt I can make you ice cold or make your heart melt I can fill you with joy or full of regret I can make you do things that you'll never forget
At the age of 24I was driving down the urban road.The world seemed desolate,dark,alone,grim.In that drive of silence,I saw it.A faint green light.
I pick it up, my mind goes wild I move it around, my heart smiles. The way it moves on this sheet of white Makes the words in black a beautiful sight. My thoughts cannot be hidden here,
What you run from stays with you longer And what you fight eventually becomes stronger This pessimism is taking a toll on me It's like I can't even see who I set out to be
I woke up that day I saw something new It was that perfect yawn From a great sleep I never thought to have I was inducted It was exclusive I had something special That  made me special
There is a stranger looking at her in the mirror. She stares back, dark, wet hair. Her face- a mask of nothingness- but her eyes, filled with the deepest, contained sadness. Face, red and stained black with mascara.
  Why do the days have to end?   The lights go out. The night begins.   The beauty of a summer's day Darkens after sunset.   They say the bird's songs are lovely all day
Happiness is a tired heart And calloused hands. It's pain Relievers and aching metaphors.   Metaphors that breathe and sing Like Northern Cardinals 'what cheer! 'What cheer!' The rhetoric
Life is a beautiful thing Though at times it can be hard No one is ever promised a diamond ring Or is ever given a Pass Card Some people leave this Place too soon Leave by cancer or accidents or harm
A handshake here, a smile there Simple bursts of happiness Just a handshake, that’s all it takes To reduce the pain that tears
A hundred thousand times I have asked myself the same questions since the dawn of the current age The age of identity The age of truth Life Dignified justification to walk the path The descent into darkness
 A young mind consumed,by the fact that we’re doomed,from birth to eventual death.No alternative choice.No protest, no voice,learning to savour every breath.
I write poetry.  Poetry is emotion. Poetry is honest. Poetry is simple. A place i can be myself.   I write poetry to be free. To express myself in ways talking can't.
My first love was never a boy or girl or person stuck in between, It was never, mom or dad, brother or sister, Learning companionship through other humans.  
  Positivity  is not overrated and Society is not to be blamed There is a time  when you have to claim responsibility for your own thoughts they are toxic or they are not
(poems go here)   Obra Maestra   He called onto the dirt, made the soil reflective The final ounce of life now materializing
And I could fall asleep to your voice, The tiny rippling waves washing up on the shores of my ear drums, Crashing and retreating back to the open blue from which they came.
It's the start of electricity; a spark It's a dream you never want to wake from, It's happiness;it's completeness It's a beautiful art piece It's a maze you want to get lost in It's flashbacks,
You did so much for me; I don't know where to start I'm glad you are my mom, I love you a lot You mean so much to me I don't know what to say But I know I'll tell you this everyday
Mugging bubblegum Left step Right step into a bodega Barely standing at four feet tall Waiting for the old man to rush me Hoping for him to give him something free Old man glances at a new customer
The colors of the sky Matches to the shadows of the eye When one is blue The other one is too But as the lives go by With nothing more than a sigh One looks up high to see What color the sky would be
Never get lost in the maze of making others happy, you may lose your own happiness in the process. No need to look, search, or wander, simply glance in the mirror, and look within yourself.
Sometimes there are disruptions with the true beauty in life Those once in a while moments "Are my front teeth crooked? My arms are too flubby! Why do I have such ugly dark circles?!"
In all adversity, I shall always thrive, And without you here, I will shine. You will not stop me for I am still alive. My heart and my soul will be kept mine.
She’s broken. Broken into so many pieces from everything she has ever been through. Her heart cries out for a helping hand, but the tears just continue to flow like a waterfall. She’s terrified.
The trail of happiness exists differently for everyone, For me it's something new. Traveling, moving, quickly at 18. Quickly jumping the gun, as most would say. I want to live and prosper in the happiness,
I see the Eleanor Rigbys and Gilbert Grapes everywhere I go, The people who forgot long ago to See beauty in people laughing, sunflowers shooting up Out of the ground. There are people who have never heard a canary
Not gonna write you a love song I'd rather write you poetry Put thoughts to paper and call it a symphony Let me words travel along the page And proclaim you as my melody Beautifully sculpted and crafted
Don’t deal plight to progress For the lack of the greater goal Mourning the death of something not born Not realizing the birth of today You might see light at the tunnels end
Its like swallowing flint To be here. Among the talented people The children of broken homes Motor homes And hill-top homes. From the highest of life To the lowest of lows Poets, word weavers,
Stay silent Sit straight Perfect hair Perfect teeth Perfect breast Perfect house Perfect parents Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!
Every night in sleep, I journey to the Land of Nod. Where strangely, my senses suspend about— exists separately, yet a part of me.
The sun bursting through Dense clouds of despair and doom, Is this turn of time. The work completed, The pat-on-back I needed. Freedom without crime.
I do exist in the depths of solitude And in the depths of fear. I see and experience the clashing of two conflicting souls. These two sides are equal and opposite, constantly pushing against each other.
I wake in the morning, eyes wide, heart sprightly, Others still asleep, I move quickly, quietly, lightly. I slip on my shoes, and without words he knows,
In this world exists somewhere peaceful in all its natural beauty; A place where the evergreen grows, And the fallen leaves rest on the grounds of the earth,
You surprised me. You came when I needed you, but wasn't expecting you. I was falling downhill and you swooped in and took me to an unheard-of place. you squeezed your way into my life without me noticing.
Cheers to a new chapter of a poorly written book Where the author's raw emotion was often overlooked Where she agonized with words and trailed off in thought Where she timidly ran her fingers through her hair and would pout
I crave to see the world. I have a lust rooted deep within myself for adventure, A hunger to pack my bags, pack my life, a camera, and someone I love. The desire to travel has always clung to me.
To be what I want to be is hard. To be what they want me to be is harder. To follow behind others and never be myself, thats somthing I have done for years. But I refuse to do that anymore.
There was a man. Who lived in a home on top a hill He lived alone He watched the birds come by his house He watched kids playing outside his home He wondered what it was like, to chase after that ball
If I could read between the lines, I would picture you and me, Dancing together between the letters, Prancing peacefully above the capitals, Way up high—past the sky, Where no one would reach us.
Life is a car ride. You may face bumps in the road, But you keep driving.
With one finger I hold my life and through a very weak grip. If it ever were to accidentally fall, my world would be sheer havoc.
It was the last day of summer And a brilliant orange hue illuminated the sky. My body, Laid serenely across a field of golden tinted roses Basking in the sunlight. The heat of the sun tells my heart to wake up
Sometimes, As I watch the clouds drift by In these simple Oklahoma skies I think of how we first met.
I was laying out in the snow one fine day, Wondering what life's journey was in my way. I looked out with a blank stare, Realizing moments like these are very rare. Standing there optimistic about whats ahead,
Feeling sad and unwanted. Feeling hopeless and worthless.
Maybe He needs to stop. Maybe He needs to forget that he's not always the only person on top Maybe he needs to hold off of these shots cuz he knows it wouldn't hit the spot Maybe he should give himself some little props

Home? What is Home? Home is where the full heart bursts With love and laughter In joy immersed. Home is where the spirit feels Safe, secure, revived, And healed.
Love Is the moment When I hear a plane overhead And think of you Love Is the days I'm out with my family And smile at motorcycles
seventeen years i've spent trying with all my strength to make you happy but maybe i should try to make me happy instead

This is a world that has ended. Nothing is born. Nothing dies. Time doesn’t even exist. If I were searching for a place to be born, then I know it should not be here. There is another being here. Can she see me? I am not born to this world.

Sky
The sky is dark and moody, storming as it goes Screaching against my weary window Let all the dry leaves float My day continues, starting dim Now brightening as my sun arrives My happiness now arise.
Maybe it's good not to know certain things It keeps the mysteries more willing to believe Why happiness stings Or why there are locks and keys And, not knowing how to reach dreams It isn't as bad as it seems

In the darkness wails, “Oh why, Oh, why” Only light remains at last of breath Why, oh why do you not offer death?

I care so much it hurts.. Deep inside my heart, And now my eyes are open Because we are apart, This world is fading. It is turning dark. My bright world of smiles, Has begun to fall apart.
Where yellow flowers bloom, The sun sets below the trees Winds blow a selfless tune An awakening of light from the moon But the glow is just a tease Where yellow flowers bloom The pedals become immune
You tell me I'm no good With every word I say Everything comes out lies, betrayal, and trust including your own friends would say those things Have you seen the things I've done? No.
Our poor forsaken generation Focus...focus....focus Man if I don't blow this it's like I can't focus Feeling like I'm choking....but I know if I'm not blowing this
The child- He soars above Earth, Staining canvas with his light. Which he picked from a lunar garden From the land immersed in night.
Eyes that sparkle in the darkest of night Rest peacefully early in the morning Lips that speak the sweetest words Look so soft and kissable as you sleep Holding you close to me all night
She wakes up alone-- Except for a cat by her side. And she is happy She eats breakfast alone-- Except for a cat by her side. And she is happy.
First, bring up the sun. Let it stand for two to three hours before moving on. Once your earth is thoroughly warmed, Go ahead and grow some grass, paying extra attention to its' color and softness.

Bright smiles, Dreamy eyes, Wind blown hair, Stomach butterflies; Intertwined hands, Never-let-go hugs, Warmth of the kiss, Oh, the effects of Love.
When Black clouds darken your sky, They Steal your Hope inside, And you just feel like crying, Search for the Silver Lining,
I look out the window the sky is dark a sudden flash of light piercing the sky a cluster of thunder makes me jump I step outside I stand in the yard staring around the rain starts to dance around me
Over the past few days I’ve seen That everything doesn’t always stay the same. That the one thing that nothing could ever come between Is completely vulnerable to change.
I don’t need your flowers or jewelry, You never offered it anyway. I offered you hugs and kisses, You rejected them all with a shrug. I wanted to be happy, therefore I wanted your love. I can finally see.
Sometimes it seems like you just can't stand it, Watching as some people take things for granted. They think they have what it takes to make it through, But trust me they're no more better off than me or you.
The stress of the day Let it go Those things you want to say Say no The anger and aggression Will slow The smile and happiness Let them grow
You're trapped in a box, No sense of sight, sign of light, No sound, a quiet so profound.
In the early morning When the sun filters in And you see him Staring back at you Those green eyes That love you, you never thought You'd live to see And your heart thumps loud
We've been aquainted for a long, long time way back since nursery rhymes your presence made makes me feel sublime Got me through all the dirt and grime and now, feels like we're partners in crime
The civil rights act of 1964, we stopped discrimination and ended the war. This was a dream, this was like heaven, counted on the vote of 73 to 27.
All I see are the bars on my cage. All I can see is that which impedes my freedom. Freedom! I dream of freedom. This concept, I do not know what it entails. All I know is what freedom means to me:
Trudging over many puddles to make it towards the bus stop Someone came to me and asked me If I thought my life was rich and fulfilling They seemed serious by the focus of their eyes
I'll give you my forever if you give me your heart I'll leave you never if you love me from the start will you swear you'll leave my heart intact I'll love you forever and that's a fact
You Looked Rather Nice Today With your hair all messy And the drops of rain on your coat. You Looked Rather Nice Today With your khaki pants And tattered old grey shoes.
We are strong And we are together, No matter what We cannot be stopped. We are today's generation, With access to everything, It is just a reach away, We cannot be defeated,
The power to be. The power to see. The power to be who I want to be. I wanna go Far far away and succeed In everything I was meant to be Through school I will.
Oh senses For sensation brings desensitization And one man's trash, today, is the same man's treasure of yesterday. Unless, one learns moderation Learns to say "this is enough for now."
Strive to do better Wear your dreams like a sweater You can achieve so much more Your future is in store The next step That's what college is for
I want to be the smile that spreads across your face. I want to be the one that no one can replace. I want to be your dreams when your sleeping alone at night. It doesn't matter if they think it's wrong or right.
This poem is dedicated to my dear friend, who is like a brother to me, Bryce Calta.
A child can break a million hearts, Girl or boy, age doesn’t matter. One look into their innocent eyes, And your heart is all a shatter.
Poetry, official language of the heart, Is the heart’s truth with fluff, The marshmallow stuff. Each thought that took blood and sweat vacate without pain but with a sweet and satisfying taste
It Starts With Cherries Everything starts with cherries you see, Those wonderfully sweet things They made a smile appear on your face But it wasn’t just because of their taste
To the people of the world that cry, “We know not where our allegiance lies”, and place their heads firmly in the sand. To those now lost deep within the mix, stocking hope in magic tricks
Out of the thousands of words that you say everyday, What do they stand for? Is it the negative? The fighting and the rioting And the fire of hatred igniting
Live like it’s your last day On earth and appreciate Those who love you Don’t take everyone too Seriously and debate Everything that they say
