I freed myself—I let you go and I freed myself
I freed myself from my deadly expectation, that there'll be a perfect time for us
I freed myself from my own self-destructive thoughts that haunted me mostly at night,
that you might not feel the same,
and yes you didn't since the day you came
I freed myself from the prison of love, even that small glimmer of hope that we'd end up together has faded
The chase is over, I want you to know that I'm letting you go and I am setting myself free

What loss would it be?
What cost would it take?
To borrow such wings,
To fly to the King?

Follow his lead,
To hear him teach,
To know what it means,
To believe in the Dream.

Watch him dance in the grass,
Drinking from heaven's glass,
Singing,
"Free at Last... Free at Last..."

There’s maybe a million of unspoken words I’ve already put into poetry,
When clouds were shrouding the skies above me and all I see is darkness,
When I felt dejected, and when I felt like I’m being surrounded by an air of melancholy,
No poem was ever written because of gratitude and happiness

Writing is what I do when on the verge of breaking down,
But you came and changed the game, the gloomy days are gone
I used to write sad poems before, all that’s found in my face is a frown,
Now I cannot contain my joy, like beautiful sunflowers dancing in the lawn

You are the sun that shone on me after dusky days,
The happy song that finally played on the cassette
You are the guy every actor on romantic movies portrays,
I chose you, that, I won’t regret

I love the warmth of your fingers, entwined around mine
I long for your embrace, craving your lips pressed against my cheek
But just by knowing you feel the same way, I’ll be just fine
Hoping you’ll stay for good because I may not admit it, but without you sweetheart, I’ll be weak

You made me believe in the impossible once more,
You told me distance is never a hindrance, yes I believe you,
Because even when we're miles away, you’re the one this heart beats for
I won’t be writing sad poems ever again, there’s no reason to

In your arms, it feels a lot like home,
In this mad world, you're my happy place, that’s true
After a long wait, finally here’s a happy poem,
This is an ode to my source of happiness, for you my love, I love you
I wear my emotions on my sleeve.
When ever I smile, the sun shines.
My feeling are upon my sleeves
The sparkle in my eyes reflect a brilliant warm light.
My sleeves reveal my naked thoughts
That provides life, growth and prosperity.
Providing charity, giving, love without any conditions or boundaries.
My actions define me,
They speak for me.
Hear my plea.
Can you comprehend the language my body speaks. Bare thoughts, candidly
Exposes everything.
Can you see my eyes fill up with tears.
Silently
Off skipped beats can you hear my cardio speak of its pain
My heart weeps.
All because I wear my heart on my sleeve.
Draped from head to toe I am a reflection of my life.
How could you be genuine if you don't have integrity. There is nothing truthful or authentic about a lie. The truth leaves no room for excuses,sincere people take accountability for their actions. All religions or spirituality teachs,integrity,compassion,respect,loyalty,faith etc. Love is defined in all things good or bad.
We are suppose to  by example and correct our mistakes that we all make. The value of love today have people given up. Discarding what seems broken without making a effort to repair. Running from their problems without truely acknowledging them. Making excuse to justify them selfs,but you can't hide from your self. It takes courage to be honest and admit to your mistakes. Self reflection gives character of integrity because if you can't be honest with your self then you're not genuinely to your self nor others.

Resolve to be patient with one's self and others
Resolve to appreciate the beauty found in nature and in those around me
Resolve to take one day at a time and not let worry surround my thoughts
Resolve not to think about what I have not got
Resolve to appreciate each day for what it is a gift
Resolve to keep in touch with my family and friends
Resolve to learn new things
Resolve to try my best at everything
Resolve to treasure blessings both big and small
and appreciate them all
Resolve to see what is good in everybody around me
Resolve to live each day with an attitude of gratitude
This resolution starts with thanking all of you
for your friendship and for inspiring me
THANK YOU <3

I am simply a dream
Floating from street to street
You don't see me
Yet I see you
You don't love me
Yet I love you

Life will break you
In chunks so little
That you will know
Sometimes it is best
To leave some back

The world is too much for us.
There is so much beauty
Around us
And those who notice it all
Do not know what to do with it.
And those people
End up the most miserable,
The kindness in their hearts
Swallow them whole,
and they can not handle
All of the wonderful things
They think that they
Do not compare to
But
These people
Are just as beautiful as
The morning sunlight
And the stars that shine
So brightly.
The stars shine for you.
There are stars Inside your mind
do not let
cruel people with unkind
hearts **** your stars
let yourself get lost
in the world
do not feel guilty that
there is gentleness in your soul
because a kind heart
Is just as wonderful as
The universe's endless beauty.

Well ****.
I wrote something.
Something long and great about who inspires me
The people who have encouraged me through this life time
And I asked. . . .  at the end of what I wrote

Who inspires you?

Now I'm not much of a religious person,
but I know a sign when I see one.
I went to add the (Poem)
And somehow pressed something that sent me back to my homepage
Imagine that.
I was so ****** because It was so long and I hadn't written it down
So I didn't bother trying to write it again because obviously HP didn't want me to
I'm laughing just thinking about that.
Life finds little ways to ***** you over
Or to let know when you're being stupid.
Maybe both.
Whether or not you decide to take notice is your choice
But anyways
I just wanted you to know it was a great poem
Well I thought so(not)
Maybe send a little prayer to heaven about it later.
(Im just kidding)
Seriously,
Those who can find happiness In the darkest times
People who can fall to hell and then climb back, are inspiring to me.
They're stronger then most and an inspiration to many.
What about you?
Who do you find inspiring?
The poem didn't even rhyme, it was really horrible.
