Fighting demons from inside
Tears rolling down my eyes
Falling slowly inside my hands
One droplet at a time

You have left your paw prints on my heart
I hoped this day would never come that we would have to part
Part ways from each other and say goodbye
Off to the rainbow bridge you will fly
You'll always be my Charlie and my "fur"ever friend
One day I'll meet you again at the rainbow bridges bend...

Seeing the deterioration of a woman who once could run circles around us young folks, is frustrating and upsetting all rolled into one....not only for us, but for her, tremendously

It’s 6:30 am when I step outside to a dark and fog filled sky
In the distance I hear a cardinal singing away happy as can be
Something came over me
As there was no other noise but myself and the calming singing of the cardinal
I stood there for a moment and took it all in
As chaotic as the world is right now, in that moment, I felt safe and sound
Take this time to reflect on the little things that we have let go of during this time
It may have been nothing but to me I felt the cardinal was singing directly to me
Feeling the calmness and stress become a relief.....

Look forward
Never look back
The past is in the past
You can never get it back
Shoot for the stars
Keep your head up high
Everything will fall into place
Puzzle pieces will always align
Keep your dreams in your head
Always putting up a fight
In the end it's you for yourself
Dream big for you and nobody else...

Feeling helpless
Don’t know where to turn
Keep spinning in circles
To the point of no return  
With no beginning or end in sight
Just the waiting of concern
That dreaded phone call tonight
I’ll keep praying with all my might
When the time is right
Everything will be alright
For now we sit and wait
As we watch you wither away
Closer and closer to your last breath
In and out
In and out
Until his death....

Dreams are messages
Messages are dreams
If you can still remember them
Then it’s meant to be

Sometimes I wonder what it’s like on the other side
Hoping your ok, don’t worry about me, I’m just fine
Yes of course I do cry
Wondering if your really ok
On the other side...

Get up and go
Get out of your head
Listen to your heart
You’ve got this my friend

And with her wings she began to fly
Scared of nothing in the sky
All the worries and cares went away
As now she soars endlessly, no strings attached  
She is, now, happy and peaceful everyday

Do what makes you happy
Not what makes others happy
Change your pace
Look fear in the face
New beginnings await

A little boy taken to soon
As he played near the water at the edge of the lagoon
Standing with his father and having a good time
His father didn't think it would be the last time
The last time to see his sons face light up
And see the happiness of his son growing up
In a split second all had changed
His son was taken right in front of his eyes
The life of a child was taken to soon
As he and his dad played for the last time at the edge of the lagoon

I had a heart to heart with someone tonight and was trying to help them through a difficult time. I sit here and think of my past and the things I have personally dealt with in life. The mistakes, the regrets, the things I wish I would have done, the thing I have done and much more. I often ponder my choices and the path of where life has led me. I have always said "everything happens for a reason" and I stick with that to this day. The "what ifs" are just a formality of the choices you have made. I had to go through the bad times of relationships to get where I am today, married to my best friend and couldn't be happier.
I had to deal with my dad becoming sick and not being able to take care of himself. I watched him wither away to nothing, and saw him dying. I wouldn't change anything I did during that time of his life because I did and said all I could to him. I still haven't dealt with him passing but I know he is always here with me.
I had to deal with my families home catching on fire and our childhood home being destroyed. Even though things were damaged and destroyed, no one was home, so we didn't lose anything. Things are replaceable, people are not. I wouldn't change how that day happened because it gave me a better perspective on life.
I, as everyone else, deal with things differently and emote their emotions differently, but I know no matter what life throws at you you can get through it. Everything does happen for a reason, good or bad, it's just they way to want to deal with it at the time or when you are ready to deal with it.
I can fully admit that I have no confidence in myself in anything I do, or think that I'm the best at anything but I do believe I am here for a reason. Be a great friend, work hard, love everyone, and be a supporter. This is my role in life.
Take everyday for what you make it and know you have a purpose in life and deal with it. We all have been through a lot no matter how young or old you are but we are all dealing with something. It's how you choose to deal and choose to embark forward on the path of life.

I try to cry
But my tears have dried
I’m just numb to the pain
Yet it won’t go away
Trying to cope each and everyday...

Breaking down
Layer by layer
Slowly crumbling into a million pieces
Yet, not falling victim
Anxiety will not win
In the end...

The sun is shining, it's a happy day
Don't look back on what happened yesterday
Strive for the best
Be strong and brave
Your smile and happiness could make someone's day

One day your family brings home a puppy
He becomes apart of the family and goes everywhere with you
Taking walks
Playing catch
Cuddling together
Loving each other
Years later his life takes a turn for the worst
He becomes very sick and no medication will help
You know the inevitable answer is in sight
The hardest choice you and your family has to make
Saying goodbye to your dog that became family
You make his last couple hours of life filled with fun, car rides and snacks
When the time comes you say goodbye as you watch him close his eyes
Even though you feel a emptiness in your heart
You know it was for the best and he is not suffering anymore
As you crossed over the rainbow bridge
Don't ever forget us
Because
We will never forget you boo...

Sometimes unspoken words
Are a bigger action then spoken words...

Excuse me while I removed this knife from my back
As I see our friendship slipping through the cracks
Drops of blood are trickling down  
Making a puddle of lies onto the ground

The light it emotes
The powerful vibes it shows
The beauty flying high
On this, the Full Moon, up in the sky

You may not notice it in the moment but realize it after the moment has passed...

Selfish people need to take a step back and look at the whole picture of life not just themselves and the media. It’s poor taste of character in my opinion. No one deserves that treatment… Respect is what we all need…

We all have secrets
We all have skeletons
We all have things we don’t want to admit
We all make mistakes
We all make promises
We all make break promises
We all are human
Humans have
Secrets
Skeletons
Humans make
Mistakes
Promises
Humans learns from them
Grow from them
Live from them
We are all

Accepting me for what I do but not taking away credit by living through you...
Climbing your own ladder
Succeeded your journey
Be your own person
Not for what I do
Just be YOU...

I get lost in my

D R E A M S

Creatively

Inspiring the magic

That otherwise can’t be seen

Into the dark oblivion you will go
Only to find the mystical and colorful creative life, you’ve been looking to find

Time may go fast time
Time may go slow
But slow down your time
Take it one day as you go

When at last you see the light
Reach out and touch it
You may get zapped back into the reality in which we call life
Yet here to see and live another day

In all the confusion we face today
Should I stand up and speak or just sit quietly and pray
We shake the snow globe of life as we call it
As we watch the flakes fall gently back in place
Never landing in the same spot again
Will the path I lead now be to a new beginnings end?
I'll stand in the background and watch the pieces fall
In the end I'll be the bigger person after all

Dreams will shrink or fade away
But don’t forget about them  
They will always be in reach to come back to someday
Dream the impossible
Impossibly dream
For your dreams will always be within reach
If you dream the impossibly big dreams

With the technology we have today
Couldn’t we just hit a button and FaceTime someone that’s to far away
One call to heaven to see your face
To hear your voice and look into your eyes
Would be the greatest gift to your surprise
Who would you FaceTime one more time?

A burning cigarette dangling from your lips
Your saliva making it stay put there and stick
Ash building on the burning cherry
Flightless as ever was like a dancing fairy
Take a drag, fill your lungs
Toxic waste, blazing guns
One, two, three smokes a day
Calming your soul, your life away

You have a blank piece of paper in front of you...
                        

                     Go ahead

       Let your heart pour out ...
            Write your own story...

Make changes
Underline key ideas
Don’t be afraid to erase problems

The paper is blank
You have the power to fill it up
    How you want it
        With positivity
           With love
              Write your own story...

Can we all
Come together
Work together
Rebuild this broken puzzle of fragmented pieces
Stand with one another
Love one another
Support one another
Help one another
Guide one another
Love is love
Opinions are a learning process
Failure is humbling
Winning isn’t everything....

If we all try and ban together
Rebuild this broken world
We all can
Make a change
Make a difference
Breakaway from the “molds”
Put a broken world back together
One piece at a time
Slowly but surely
We can rebuild what our world once had...

All eyes on me
Always
I need to be the center of attention
Always
Put the focus on me
Always

Why are some people like this?
Always in the spotlight
Always need to be noticed
Maybe take a step back
And see the world a little different
Unfocus your camera lens of your eyes
So maybe the world would see you a little clearer
And for that reason you will always be seen...

Life is hard
But then you learn
The harder life can be
The better chance of learning
All the little things you may not have seen
It makes you appreciate all the troubles you’ve had
Make your life count, because it’s the only chance you have

Live
Laugh
Love
Spread your wings
Jump into the ocean
Talk out loud
Sing
Dance with the angels
Be carefree
Stay weird
Be who you want to be
Build a fire
Watch the embers drift away
Smoke billowing, hugging you keeping you safe
Become one with nature
Catching fireflies
Laying on blankets under the dark yet bright sky
Getting out of your own head
Not a care in the world what anyone has said
Standing up for what you believe is true
Live
Laugh love
But most importantly
Just
Be
You

Even on cloudy and overcast days
You are the sunshine that lights the fire in  my heart
In so many different ways

You may be standing on solid ground but as long as you continue to walk, the path will continue for you
