L.O.V.E. Notes: Eyes Tell The Story (Translated From Spanish)

There's a story behind your eyes
very time you blink
it's like a new word is being written
the end of each chapter
is like the beginning of a new one
if you cannot open your eyes
don't be sad
the story doesn't end there
only the scenery changes
and when that happens
you won't need your eyes anymore

Logic Suggests Haiku

Maybe we shouldn't 
use our eyes until we know 
what they're looking at.

The Sky

I just want to touch the sky
that may seem silly to you
but it doesn't seem silly to me
wouldn't that be something to see
to stand on top of the world
knowing it's not the highest you can go
or how about standing on top of the world
knowing that there's room for you to grow
I just want to touch the sky
to prove to everyone that it's possible
and only those with a limited vision
will envision themselves as an obstacle
it's like we don't dream anymore
and when there's so much to explore
we're at a standstill 
but I refuse to stand still 
I just want to touch the sky 
to prove that it doesn't take much to fly
not when you can see yourself in the clouds
that may seem silly to you
but it doesn't seem silly to me
wouldn't that be something to see 
just to touch the sky 
just once before we die

Flip The Switch

You had a light that would never dim
that was until the day you met him
you haven't been the same since
and since you can't even say his name 
maybe he's to blame 
but so are you
not because of what you did do
but because of what you didn't do
instead of following your intuition
you were more into wishing
or more into fishing 
that would explain why you took the bait
you were a good catch 
but an easy one
so he had his fun at your expense 
and you haven't been the same since
this guy may be able to con Edison
but he doesn't have dominion over you 
which means you've never lost power
it's your light
your energy
and it continues to flow
so step back into your light
and step out of his shadow

L.O.V.E. Notes: Left With A Dream

What do you do
when all you're left with is a dream
do you keep it to yourself
or do you share it with a world
that may not deserve it
a world that may not appreciate
or even know what it needs
still
the dream deserves a chance
you deserve a chance
to chase your dream
and catch your dream
then it will reveal its true form
because that's its purpose
if all you have left is a dream
that's more of a reason to be

L.O.V.E. Notes: How You See Yourself

How do you see yourself
because that's what matters most
your perception of yourself
people can tell you that you're beautiful
and they may be telling you the truth
but what are they looking at
do you even know
and do you know their intentions
or are you just seeking attention
from those with their own agenda
maybe you don't like what you see
so you care less about yourself
and more about what people see in you
but what do you see in yourself
because that's what matters most
you're what matters most
so you can change what you don't like
but you have to be awake first 
what that being said 
good morning 
this is your wake up call 
and only you can answer it

Out Of This World

I'm not even sure what to call her
Miss Universe is taken 
and there will never be another 
but she's something else
something more 
there's just so much beauty  
not a single imperfection 
at least not one that can be seen
it's like looking up at the night sky
and staring into forever 
she's an absolute dream
one that I believe in 
which makes me wonder 
is she even attainable 
or is she simply motivation  
to keep reaching for the stars 
and beyond the realm of possibility
because there's more out here 
than we can possibly imagine 
I wish I knew the answer 
maybe it could help me out 
God knows I need it 
I'm not even sure what to call her 
or if I deserve to call her anything at all

Some people cry on 
the outside to show you how
they look on the inside.

Random Morning Message From The Blogger

I woke up like this...

I'm living proof why you should never give up
why you should always believe in yourself
because you can just as easily be written off
while you're constantly being underestimated
and most of all unappreciated
in a world where nothing seems real anymore
where ignorance continues it's dominance
but cannot defeat those who think for themselves
I'm the revolution nobody expected
the light that would never turn on
the life that should've ended
and the love that could've died

I'm living proof that change is possible

that positive energy always conquers evil
and that life only values effort
when you're all the proof you need
you'll be amazed at the things you can do
and how much of the world is watching
I promise someone will see you
how do I know
I know because I'm living proof

Explore Me

Why would you ignore me
when you could explore me
there's so much I could reveal 
but I'm sure it would all seem surreal
even in my mind 
you'll be amazed at what you find 
treasures unlike any you've ever seen
at least from another human being
my desire
my dreams of building an empire
my soul
and a love that's even out of my control
if this is true
what happened to the few who came close
they became ghosts
I'm sad to say
that I scared them away
not intentionally 
but essentially 
that's what came to be
maybe that's why you ignore me
so I'm asking you to explore me
just don't set me free
I'll do that myself

L.O.V.E. Notes: Your Life

It's your life
fight for it while you're still here
remember that we're all souls
and our bodies won't last forever
but while we're here
we can fight
I remember lying there
not wanting to fight
I didn't fear death
but I feared the life I was living
I had to die
just not physically 
once a piece of me died
I fought for the rest
so there's no time to rest 
this is your time to fight
it's your life
and it's far from over

L.O.V.E. Notes: Still Exist

Does it still exist 
some say yes 
other say no
what are you asking
if good guys exist
yes 
what about good girls 
of course
but I think I know
I know what you're asking
respect 
appreciation 
trust 
passion 
love
does all of that still exist
my answer
no 
I don't believe it exists
it lives 
but only in those who live
and cease to exist

L.O.V.E. Notes: Don't Disappear

I'm beginning to fade
and those prices I've paid
I'm still paying for
but those miracles
I'm still praying for 
don't let me disappear
that's all I hear
don't disappear
not from your own life
there's so much more to see
