Today is a day like none other
I am calm, and I'm at peace
My mind isn't running at its fastest speed
My body still relaxes as I continue to bleed

I feel my senses heightened
My life seems enlightened
This day made me realize
We take too much for granted
There's hope in children's eyes
In the morning skies
Being able to live and breathe is a huge prize

I feel content
Like a farmer does after a hard day of work
Like a child playing in the park
The way I feel when I can close my eyes and smell your scent

I found there's beauty in simplicity
In just getting through the day and fulfilling responsibility
In having a heavy breakfast and an afternoon nap
In doing laundry and keeping away my thinking cap

We take too much for granted
From the life we've been given and the people in it
We need to learn to be happy in what we've been handed
For the only thing certain about life and the people in it
Is that to both of these, death is always granted

silently she's always at your side
though a mere silhouette in your eyes
she screamed so loud for you to hear
but no voice of her passes your ears

she had seen who you longed to have
a picture who don't need your love
you wept as you reminisced the scenes
is it hard to let go? yes, it seems

you're lost, don't know what to do
a mind sailing in the depths of fantasy
trapped yourself inside the lamp
please snap she's here to help you stand

as she handed the rope to free
she whispered, "these are the granted three"
i'll stay with you, i'll love you and i'll understand you
no more fantasies for we'll make it true

Is it a love song?
Or is it just me thinking about you?
Well, I guess this one is a sad song,
Cause I'm crying all over the place for you.
But it does sound like a classic,
Because of the this stupid cliches that I do.
If I have done everything you asked,
I won't be here dying for you.
Oh how I wished it was just all a love song,
Cause I will forever sing it for you.

All these kids are homeless with dead parents from all these ignorant wars, the ghetto, tragedy and famine and you're complaining about how you hate your parents that are there for you?
What in blue blazes has gotten into you?
People who are good to you
Should never be rejected
I'm sorry, but i cannot accept those words as a fact
Because they're filth painted with temporary coat
Am i supposed to be impressed?
Because i'm not
You did far worse than that
My parents couldn't do everything for me, but it wasn't due to the lack of wanting
It was the lack of everything that prevented them from doing so.
I want to tell the homeless help is on the way
I will be your guide today
But they forgot the language of caring
Due to all their previous mistreatment from other souls
They now almost forgot how to feel
I'm not going to put them on a reel
To give them bait so i could just throw them back into the river
I'm understanding of your pain
And i want something to guarantee you constant gain
Because they deserve it the most
I want to cry every time i see them digging for food out of the garbage can
But i need to stay in my poker face
And stay strong
But i'm not sure it might be for long..

tokens of thankfulness
gratefulness
appreciation

understanding
or attempts to

when every try
brings them closer to knowing
and every effort
pulls you closer to them

that's the only place
you want to be
close
and safe

being reminded
what you have
and if you have that

never let it go
be thankful
be grateful

tears of joy are okay

Burn them
The letters I gave
You never read them anyway
Burn them
The poems I made
It was all a part of yesterday

You never knew
How much every word meant to me
More than it ever did to you
You never knew
How every response you say
Is silence, to me,
Easily blown by the wind away.

Unread them, unremember,
If possible.
I do not want to remember
How foolish I was to write you
All of my heart
In pieces of paper.
