Our existence isn't so dreadful When there's smeone to care for Or even better, one that'll be there At your highest to cheer you on And at your lowest to bring you comfort
I can't live without air.  Seriously. That automatic pull that the lungs take, that convert within themselves, without us even thinking or knowing.  That creation of taking in and out what is around. 
I am a woman. It's how I was born. It's how I identify. It's part of who I am. But some people in this world Think that they can punish me Because of an "F" on a birth certificate.
Holding it within my heart Only death can take it away from me Part of me wants to give it up for a while Even though it is my only chance at survival Hello, my dear intangible companion
It is my greatest love, My deepest passion, The keeper of my sanity, And the pillar of my strength.   Without it, I am an abyss.   It resonates within my head, And within my heart.
Happiness is elusive. Sometimes it hides in the hands of a boy,  his fingertips across my back. And I need his hands like concrete blocks, to build up my spine. And I need his mouth
It has been so long since I started the climb, That I hardly remember when I began. Was it when I walked you to your car? Or when we got coffee together? It meant nothing to you, but to me it was a mountain.
Music fills my ears nurishment for my hungry soul without a home, but I hear a cord and I am content drowning in fear, but the melody is my savior keeing my head above the water
Anything a heart desires Locked away Listening to you without return   I can't imagine a world without it  
  Family Without them I wouldn’t exist They keep me laughing even when I’m down I don’t know anyone else better to turn my frown upside down
You carried me with you for nine months whole  And when I was born your heart I stole  You fell in love with me at first sight  You promised to care for me and raise me right
I say I hate it. In fact, it causes me the most pain. Regardless, it makes me human; Regardless, it is my composition.   I say I want it gone,
You carried me with you for nine months whole    And when I was born your heart I stole    You fell in love with me at first sight    You promised to care for me and raise me right  
One car headed East  The other West This time is just like all the rest    Lovers apart in distance In the middle is where they meet Looking for a place to eat   
We are all stranded in a deserted dominion Opressed by one's self, that's fact not opinion We take for granted what at glance is obvious and true For when we question is when we get the full view
“I love you.” “I love you too.” I cry and weep silently. I then laugh for I am alone. I can cry loud and ugly. I can cry as freely as I want.
All I Need is the Sky   There are no golden tickets, no miracles, no blessings, when the sky is truly lost.
She doesn’t wear a cape but she is still a hero. She doesn’t have a degree but she is still a teacher. She doesn’t have medical experience but she is a nurse. She doesn’t know karate but she still fights for me.
Stranded on a desert island Trapped among the resetless wind Confined with thoughts I'd rarther abandon And memories that have me pinned One thing saves me from it all All I need to keep me sane
Her, it was all her doing. The memories still fresh and brewing, Those days where she would say "it will be alright" Those nights when she would hold me tight No one could ever feel that unconditional love
There's a line between what we need and what we want, Blurred by our own desires. Everyday we ask for acceptence from others, From the way we dress, To the way we talk, It's our way of asking.
You're the one who keeps me grounded. The one who creates light in this dark path. You help me find my way when I get lost. You're the one I run to in times of need. I'd be lost without you.
As i sit down to ponder  What can't I live without  When I feel happiness has come to a drought  When the tides of life destroy my blissful  horizon  And challenges try to stop me from striving 
Stuck on an island with sand in my toes, I’m the only one here – my thoughts are my foes. I sit on the ground and take a long, deep, calm breath, Trying not to think of my impending death.
It's not something that you can touch. It's not somehting that you can see.   It's something that you can buy. It's soemthing that you can be.   Other people have it. Other people but not me.
Today my pick won’t go farther than three inches into this jungle. I could straighten it, but that would take too long, leaving me with only exhausted arms and a smoky bathroom.
Crashing waves collideWith waves of vibrations heardBut not seen,Felt but not touched.A day without you is a day without us
The synthesis of two, The liquefaction they behold, Flesh made new, The threshold.   Barren lands we express, The shriveled up flowers a shore, Salt and Sand we digest,
Surrounded by nothing, where could I be? nothing but a blue abyss, I'm here, lost at sea. I walk the island, trying to cope.   I found you there, sitting upon a sandy slope.
Dreamy  On-my-mind              Share-able        Unbelivably              Travelable             Original
Sounds of notifications fill the air, as soldiers battle for thier right to share. They use swords, shields, and even pikes! All in the pursuit of favorites and likes They post things that are nonsensical and dull, 
I need this, you, the air which I breath I need your teachings to help me grow, Grow into something beyond a butterfly, A butterfly which flies above the normal boundries,
If food were no issue and supplies I could make, To my own little island one item I'd take. Not the pencil that crafts my words and my art, In truth that ranks only second in my heart.
It’s a cold feeling.A feeling that leaves a person with the impression that there is no safety net at the bottomA feeling that reminds me that desperation is for the flies on the wall, listening.It’s a blanket still.
A pile of wood and ivory. Her tired frame sits uncomfortably  until I join her. The music leaves my mind in a rush of fire, through my veins and out of my fingertips it explodes when I take my seat.
If I had to give it all up With only one exception My memories would surely be The thing that I would mention   While money and objects  Are truly quite nice To lose my best moments would be
I wonder what means the most to me. I wonder what creates the weight That I reflect onto an object's 'meaning'. I wonder about wonder itself: How it's discovered, How it's forgotten,
It's all in the little things  It's all in the lies we tell ourselves  Tomorrow will be better  Tomorrow, I'll be stronger  It's in the way we fall apart and  Piece ourselves back together 
I don’t know how I got here. I woke up suddenly in this nightmare.     This hellish place-- No water, no food-- This sand burning my face.  
All I need is a hand to hold. Teach me how to be bold I do not need to be told,  I need to be shown not by diagrams and charts  but by the careing of someones heart. 
Though it’s dark outside, always dimShe comes to me, on a whim Calm and loudBut small and proud A withered old friendFrom just around the bend Discouraged and distraughtWas everything for naught?
All I need 'Sides air to breathe And jobs to keep me In the green Is love - exchanged 'tween you and me.   Not like dutch
A dark nightWith heavy clouds Threaten to pourDown the rain A little flyLonely and isolated Lost in the darknessLost forever The drops begin to pourDrowningthe fly
All I ever needed was you All you had to do was tell me the truth Instead of doing all of that you put me through I was suppose to be someone you loved But yet you placed someone else above me
My best friend  became my superhero in seconds flat my world  point of view was sky high  then came crashing down my superhero was my super villian causing pain
*Take my hand * Come hold my hand, Run with me my brother until the hour glass loses it's sand. Hand in hand we run to our destinies Shaking off the hate and sending out blessings
I cannot live without my confidence Because in a world where women are seen as Weak. Sensitive. Little. Dolls. You cannot succeed if you don’t believe in yourself
The adorable wrinkles on your face They are so full of grace. You showed me how to appreciate and that was my blessed fate. You have been through a lot. Thank you for all the life lessons you have taught.
To say I need a person  is something I do not like to do. To say I need anything is hard for me to do.   People come and go more times than I can count. Despite pushing you away,
In times of desperation nearing an untimely termination, In times of obscurity making me doubt my security, With no one in sight but the young man in the mirror, Battered with plight and no help in sight,
Ask me what, or who, I need to survive. Go ahead. I cant remember the first time she held me, I cant count how many times she has told me she loved me.
Is Life hypocritical, selfish,  and alone; we yearn for others. to give accompaniment. To survive solely alone, To grieve and moan; A Life alone, provides no enjoyment.  To be alone.
Him
I smiled at him from across the cafeteria and then the gym, and he smiled back. Tall, dark, and handsome, but I knew that was not all.
Would you like to know what I need? Guess what I need fully, and not even partially? The very thing that keeps blood rushing through my arteries
I need someone to talk to to listen to to touch to feel to embrace without, I'm left  With insanity  with misery with anxiety  with torment In solitude 
Any shelter I build Can easily be blown away But my faith will stay The food I collect  Can rot or be stolen But my will to survive Can't be taken My body can be beaten
A man as vain as thee my love not knows, For such a gent'man gentle knows not of. Whose foulness in precious face lingers not, For thy wick'dness in lying manners hides.  
I need your eyes looking back into mine I need your love, your words, your time. I need your lips and love divine I' ve had none of this kind.   I need your secrets spilling from your soul
Alone on a island, Alone but never by myself. Alone you are my friend, Alone you love me with all your heart. Alone you stand beside me through pain and trial, Alone I call you friend, buddy, pal, Luda.
Aunties are alternating Chef Shifts grandmothers are setting grandkids’ portions The is house drowning in the amazing smells and tastes of High Blood pressure, diabetes
I've got a face caked in makeup, and sweat pooling in my palms. I make last second prop checkups, and nerves have me forgetting verses from Psalms.  The curtain rises as the lights go up.
Days pass me by, from Monday to Saturday. I don’t care anymore, for time is irrelevant to me anyway.   I have a love hate relationship with the world, and currently I am feeling only hate.
My eyes flutter open to a world draped in a haze a sight so unclear and undefined that I am left in a daze. I blink and adjust to the warm light peeking from my windows
In days, weeks, and even yearsIt seems as though you have never left my mind For I see that you are the love in my heartAnd the hate in my soul The soul you have taken from me 
Long have I searched for what was lost so long ago For the memories of those times that I remember nothing about Without them I feel so empty... so very very empty...  
Back and forth Back and forth Scanning the lines Finding the rhymes Eyes flicker and flit Watch the words split Feeling the pain Dancing in the rain Alongside the unsung hero
Lord forgive me I have a mind of a criminal Subliminal are my thoughts the doctors say its clinical But who are they to judge just a bunch of imbeciles Never mind their commentary its all the same critical
To a deserted Island I bring the will to Persevere with me
My confidence swells as I realize, I am better than ever to those amber, brown eyes. They widen as I draw near, Everything but inferior, In her presence I feel
It is the thing  that most people neglect Yet if you were without it  you’d lose the ability to choose and select It is the thing above all others you should hold it near and dear
What drink will refresh your pure soul? The chilled, so buoyant cube float high With tint of chestnut dark burnish, It stunts your precious growth toward troll.
LOL
Without laughter all is lost.   Giver of hope, It can help you cope. The ability to be optimistic, What a wonderful characteristic.   Glass half-full as they say. Is it cliche? 
You feel numb, Oh so numb. Yet here you are feeling dumb. It’s cold. Oh so cold. Your heart feel likes it’s about to explode. What’s the one thing you can’t live without?
Humans possess remarkable power. The phenomenal gift to create. With enough drive and even an hour, One can construct worlds that are truly great.   Creativity, that, I so adore.
Me
Sometimes all that I want-- And all that I need-- Is me.   Sometimes I don’t want you to tell me whom I am (Or what I am)
Music dances around their flesh. Lips part to laugh and smile. Warmth spreads throughout their bodies. Malicious fear is taken away.
We occupy imperfect space,  Try best to carve our jagged place, Among the others of our race- Look for a hand to hold.   You may feel skeptical at first,  But solitude is far, far worse, 
I’m a fool to say it But you are my world You are my joy and happiness  My comfort without asking Not everyone understands Because you’re a cat But you are mine And I am your human
If I am alone on a deserted island What would I take with me? Would food and water be on the beach? Or just miles of salty sea?   I wonder how I would fare alone What would I take with me?
A baby girl escaping a Russian orphanage A lost boy alone in New York A player searching for love in Canada and A Navy sailor full of adventure from Massachusetts
All I need to survive is joy. Not the kind that is brought upon by a simple toy. But the kind you get by simple life. I could live with nothing not even a knife.
I cannot live without many things I need food to keep on going I need air and lungs to keep on breathing I need peace to keep on resting   The need that all aspire They look to admire
A photograph,  A photograph is all I need. A photograph of the sweetest thing I've ever seen. With her curly brown hair and light brown eyes, one of my most beautiful treasures in life.
If I was stranded on an island, all I need is the Holy Bible. Just God's word, is all I need. His advice, is all I need. God's ways, is all I need. To read how great he is, is all I need,
I Need Me   How can I stay sane when everyone I know is so far away? There are so many things I’d want to take with me, but only one thing really matters to me.
If i were to crash down by the deep blue sea this is the one person i’d want with me. my mom, my world, my biggest supporter
