just be the person who cares more.
be the person who tries harder, loves
stronger and gives more than all
half-alive people who surround them.

be the person who answers their
messages,  shows up with commitment
and doesn't leave others hanging
or guessing at their eternally
vague intentions.
be the person you wish you
were dating.

if you're sick of the game
then stop playing it.
if you're tired of ******* , then cut it.
because the last thing this world needs
is one more indifferent person.
if you're the only one left with
passion, then use it.
use the hell out of it.

at the end of your life, go out with a
bruised-up worn out heart that gave
too much and love too strongly and
felt too fiercely.
go out with the certainty that you gave
it everything that you had and didn't
hold anything back.
go out empty-handed when it comes to
should-haves and might-have-beens.
because it's an infinitely more fulfilling
way to live than the alternative.

it will always be more honourable to be
out on the field getting trampled on than
to be on the sidelines feeling superior
for never having tried.
be the person !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live and breathe no regrets,
Even for the actions for where I hesitate.
Even for the moments a conclusion seems so distant.
I accept no regrets as my actions and my thoughts define me,
For I can only learn by my wrong doings,
For I am only strong by moving past my mistakes.
I accept no regrets as my choices birthed my morality.
And in turn arose my consciousness and with them my identity.
For I am the embodiment of regret,
Not in the sense it consumes me,
On the contrary that I consume regret,
That I can only develop through this sickening sixth sense and awaken in a new light, battered yet learnt.
As damage envisions my strength.
I know in my heart
We're here to grow
Become like stars
Shine with a benevolent glow

Light up a life
Show love to someone
Keep in mind
It's a job never done

The more you shine
The brighter we get
Let happiness reign
Keep your torch lit

In humble beginnings I took my first step
As I walked I became a man and therefore felt I was exempt.
How little I really knew and how could I predict that the love I had since gained could die in a single *****.
Lies, deceit, jealousy and greed,
These elements led a few who could not see me succeed.
Fire was held on to me, lies to spread and paint.
Unbeknownst to them, out the fire bred the saint,
In the heart of any man who has been rejected in the eyes of unjust hate,
In the heart of all people wronged when their souls are faint.
Stand tall and let it be known that no one is alone,
We all feel the same and through the unjust pain we have grown.

It's tough to inspire
Tell me what inspires you
It might be simple

It could be something you see
It could be something you feel
Each day brings on new whispers
The whispers come from within
Softly speaking to your mind

Inspiration comes
Inspiration leaves quickly
Listen to whispers

All that reminds

She/He is an Art
Timeless
One of a kind
Modestly unique
Beauty unseen
With sensible smile
Embrace the vibes
A humble delight
Inside out

That enough
To calm the heart
To fuel the thoughts
Twining the souls
Let me explain
In a captive silence
Millions reason
Why to remember
Why not to forget

If you are awake
Genre: Experimental
Theme: When everything matters

I try to keep my flow going
Writing in all kinds of ways
To keep this poetry flowing
Not knowing
How these words bleed from my heart
Yet in life I cannot show it
Am I broken
Or is this a chance that I’m taking
Living life through a looking glass
Through these words on these pages

This war has many faces
Armed with an army
They are ruthless and tasteless
Yet we are fated
To live life in the shadows
When we were all meant for greatness
So start taking
Life by the throat
Let it know you not faking
Make it call out your name
While it’s trembling and shaking
You have the power
So let us stop flaking
Let us march on this world
Like it’s ours for the taking
The world is designed to bring us down. We are all born as fighters and it's for us to find the spark that ignites our true nature.

The art that resonates with you right now

The light from your soul effortlessly
pierces the veils of darkness within my own.
The warmth in your voice,
melts away the cold regions of my heart.
The softness in your touch,
heals the wounds left from former lovers.
The life radiating from your smile.
As if God herself is pulling at the corners of your mouth.
Provides me with the courage to face the unknown.
I am honored, beloved
and fully grounded in your Love.
Such strength & faith in your heart,
it continues to inspire my own.
I am eternally grateful,
For Love has touched us
and taken us to a place
where Time cannot find us.
Here we are One.

May you never experience the loss a mother's love
May you never feel isolated and left alone in this world
For you are loved and cared for.
May you never feel as though the world is pinning you to the ground
Wishing you would die.

May you never feel the darkness consume the last bit of light in you
May you never need to hurt yourself to feel less of tearful ache
May you find the happiness you deserve
And may you find the love that will finally put you at ease..
To the lost and to the people struggling
