Even if you are on the right track,
You will get run over if you just sit there.

I wrap my arm around myself and look up at the stars.  The sky is filled with them.  There are more stars to see than the sky tonight.  I think about how I used to look at a sky like this and it would make me feel small and insignificant. And tonight, as I look at the stars, I realize that I am starting to know my place among them.

From the first time I met you, I couldn't take my eyes off you. I'll admit that there was always something I missed. It didn't matter if you were sitting at the front, or at the back, or talking to the person beside you, or if you were just by yourself. I could always from a crowd immediately identify you, know your position, & know where you are. It seemed wherever you'd go, there'd be light. But I kept thinking; if I didn't say it, then the next time we met there could be no more chances. There have been many times I gave up opportunities to profess to you. That time I told myself; No matter what, I'm not letting you go.

Writing a poem is like seeing shapes in a cloud; the person next you hardly ever knows what the hell you're talking about.

I'm a firm believer that sometimes
it's right to do the wrong thing.


After all the fuck ups and fallouts
With all the ups and downs and turn arounds
Through all the breaking up to breaking down
Yeah we were the ones to say,
There might not be a next time

But we understand each other &
we care about each other, & I believe
that years from now we still will

don't look back, got a new direction
i loved you once, needed protection
you're still a part of everything i do
you're on my heart just like a tattoo.

too many people miss the silver lining
because theyre expecting gold.


When we meet again, we'll probably talk about the weather cause that's what people do when they grow apart. And that's what we'll do when we grow apart.


Just let me hold you while you're falling apart. Just let me hold you so we both fall down. Fall on me, tell me everything you want me to be.


Poverty stole your golden shoes; it didn't steal your laughter.


Baby why can't we just start over again
get it back to the way it was
if you give me a chance I can love you right
but you're telling me it won't be good enough


"if you ask people what they've always
wanted to do, most people haven't done it.
that breaks my heart."
-Angelina Jolie-


you are way too young to not believe it's going to be okay.


everything's changing now that people are
forgetting who they are. everyone wants to fit
in, and when they finally get the chance to,
they leave the people they care about for
people that don't care about them.


Saying sorry doesn't mean anything.
Its how you treat the person after it.
And after you said it to me you did
the same exact thing over again

& circumstances may have influenced

who we are, but we are responsible

for who we become.
