Each of us, every day,
Life gives,
A tiny, unassuming,
Almost insignificant GIFT
It is the ability to choose,
To affect all that we do,
But if it is ignored,
It becomes a gift we LOSE
All of us are born with,
Knowing how to rise above,
Something that to which ATTENTION,
Is not paid enough of
We fall so far,
And so fast,
And we BLAME other people,
For all of our gaffes
When given an opportunity,
We for some reason refuse to LEARN,
And for those of us that choose that,
Our souls ignite and BURN
Passion is our blessing,
And also our curse it seems,
So many don't understand that passion,
Or exactly what it means
When we CHOOSE to rise,
We can truly do anything,
Too many choose to fall,
And to continue to scream
Those that fall are bitter,
They cannot accept CHANGE,
Their only goal in life,
Is to cause others to feel the same
We can rise above everything,
If we will only take the TIME,
Because only we can choose,
The future PATH for our lives
It is no-one's fault but our own,
If we continue to fall,
Yet when we STAND,
Many can be credited for our standing tall
I choose to RISE,
For I know it is right,
It is my life to LIVE,
My choice to rise above spite
This seemingly simply thing,
Is much harder than you know,
Because first we have to THINK,
Before we can GROW

Distress
I cannot breathe,
nor can I find
the strength
to stand
on my own
two feet.
I'm finding it
hard to say
my final goodbye,
let alone face
every day
without you.
Whatever dwells
within me is dead,
and it is masked
by a river of
endless tears.

burning
youre an ache in my bones
a need as basic
as fire in the cold
a desire that burns
like dry limbs and
brittle leaves on
October afternoons
yet when I try
to catch you in my hands,
I come away with
only the trace
of you
a fragrant dream
as deeply scented
and elusive as
wood smoke
Literature
I DON'T BECAUSE...
I don't start conversations
because I feel like I'm being annoying.
I feel like I'm being clingy and desperate
and that no one will care,
but rather look for an escape route.
I don't walk up to people
because I feel like I'm being intrusive.
I wasn't invited, so what right do I have to approach them
and try to mingle?
I don't say much
because I don't feel right
burdening other people with my thoughts
or my problems.
They're mine; I should suffer them alone.
I don't ask for anything
because I feel like I'm being needy.
Others shouldn't have to provide for me,
even when I cannot provide for myself.
I should be able to take car

That is simply beautiful! But remember, no consequence is bad, no matter how awful it seems at the time if you learn from it.
