POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
1 thing <3
Understand one thing
You aren’t alone
You are alone
When you think all is right
That’s when you need to fight
Take time to reflect
Look and inspect
Things change
Life loves on
You won’t ever understand
Life moves on
Life loves on
Keep going
Life loves none
But the best part
Life loves on.
You aren’t alone
You are alone
When you think all is right
That’s when you need to fight
Take time to reflect
Look and inspect
Things change
Life loves on
You won’t ever understand
Life moves on
Life loves on
Keep going
Life loves none
But the best part
Life loves on.

Building a house ( 1/10/10)
My family is like constructing a house.
My mother is the tool that helps put everything together,
she helps us grow, becoming adults.
My father, the walls that are protecting the inside,
always feeling safe around him.
My brother is the pesty board that doesn't always fit, yet we will never let him go.
I am the owner, the girl standing in the middle of the empty room.
I am the one who is protected and who is growing up.
I am the one who love the pesty board the most.
I am the one who is always there.

To Understand
Take it for what it is, life.
No one truly understands why or how things happen.
Some realize it sooner than later,
Life happens when its ready
People except it when they want
Nature on the other hand,
It grows
Nature lives on, no matter what
No one can stop it,
So few can understand it
With that, keep thinking
Never stop learning
Accept or change
Realize both of those are part of the game.

Ready, Set
Without the doubt,
It would be easy
Do I doubt?
No, you make me
I keep trying not to care
You aren’t helping
MY love is in the air
Take it or leave it
I will stay
I feel it is right
Sorry to disappoint
Not sorry
I am making decisions
Take it or leave it
Things happen when they do
So we will see
This is the preview
Wait for the movie
Ready, set, trust.

Consistant?
Wanting that attention I don’t think I deserve,
Wanting that first message, the call.
No emotion involved,
The good slowly becomes a blurr.
All I ask is consistency,
Don’t make me wonder and ponder.
I overthink as is,
Your help is not needed.
What has changed in 24,
I thought it was a good time.
Slowly the worst creeps in.
The unknown of when it will all end.
Just like the time before,
It starts like that again.
Run Run Run,
Comes to mind.
Fool me twice, well done.
Fool me three times. ...

Change or the Same
When waves run to the sand
When groupies cling to the band
The energy keeps growing
My anxiety is showing
This is all the same
I’ve played this little game
Creating a mess in my head
What was the last thing I said
I’m mixing myself up
My mind has become corrupt
Lets hope this time is different
I am praying this is something magnificent
When groupies cling to the band
The energy keeps growing
My anxiety is showing
This is all the same
I’ve played this little game
Creating a mess in my head
What was the last thing I said
I’m mixing myself up
My mind has become corrupt
Lets hope this time is different
I am praying this is something magnificent

Clockwork
Like clockwork it feels I have been here before,
Unknown what is yet to come.
Feeling hopeless and lonely,
Especially after this weekend.
Things were well from what I would tell,
Possibly, you think differently.
Mind is racing scared of the future,
Should I just call it.
Once again, I am stuck, wondering,
Was it me, what did I do?
If this is the third time,
There will be no more.
Let go, see through,
That’s all I can say.
My heart is telling me to stay,
Unknown what is yet to come.

Hidden Secrets
Wanting to start over.
Realizing it could have been prevented.
I am only one half,
Still skittish in my actions.
Not sure how to react next.
Here I am,
Overthinking the blank messages,
Always information supplied from the back of my mind.’
When does it go away,
Will it go away?
Here I am,
I have a secret that makes me uneasy.
Do I care too much still,
Can I let go.

New to love
The storm of emotions
The uncontrollable feeling of want
Its all very new
All very unexpected
There is this pressure in my chest
One that happens when I see him
When I think about him
I crave the feeling
When I lay in his arms
I beg time to stop in this moment
Yet I want to fast forward
Experiencing many more memories
It was just yesterday we met
Strangers across the table
Question after question
A desire to learn about the other
Now his name is paired with love
Deeper...

Think about it.
When the sun shines
You don’t think about it
When you feel the wind
You don’t think about it
When the leaves rustle
You don’t think about it
When you look for love
You think about it
When you force a smile
You think about it
When you want it
You think about it
When the time comes
You don’t think about it
When it feels right
You don’t think about it
When it scares you
You think about it
When fate decides it
You don’t think about it
You don’t think about it
When you feel the wind
You don’t think about it
When the leaves rustle
You don’t think about it
When you look for love
You think about it
When you force a smile
You think about it
When you want it
You think about it
When the time comes
You don’t think about it
When it feels right
You don’t think about it
When it scares you
You think about it
When fate decides it
You don’t think about it

Impermanence
Leaves which blow through the park,
their beauty uplifted by the wind.
Only until they hit their end
Waves rising to their maximum feet,
their strength from the body of the ocean.
only until their whitecaps hit the sand.
The sun coloring the sky,
narrowing down by the darkness of night.
Only until it fully fades.
The thought of endless worry,
brought by the unknown.
Only to fade into beauty.
Expecting an end to come soon,
the time is to tell.
Only to realize its the beginning.
their beauty uplifted by the wind.
Only until they hit their end
Waves rising to their maximum feet,
their strength from the body of the ocean.
only until their whitecaps hit the sand.
The sun coloring the sky,
narrowing down by the darkness of night.
Only until it fully fades.
The thought of endless worry,
brought by the unknown.
Only to fade into beauty.
Expecting an end to come soon,
the time is to tell.
Only to realize its the beginning.
