In Sickness And In Haiku

Water can cleanse you,
but when it comes to healing, 
that's where you come in.

Me, Myself, And Sky

They say goodbye is like never again
like the way a loss is never a win
still I triumph even in defeat
I find truth even when there's deceit
but that's just me lying to myself
staring in the mirror crying to myself
trying to convince myself it wasn't my fault
so explain how it all came to a screeching halt
okay maybe it was my fault
I took the blame
hung my head in shame
I'll never be the same
every night
I pray to the sky
keep me in the fight
the sky replies
asking me why
I want to say goodbye
so I try
to explain
that it's all because of pain
and it's all because of fear
then the sky began to clear
it was at that moment that I had a change of heart
saying goodbye wouldn't change my heart

L.O.V.E. Notes: My Beautiful Dream

I just want to be with you
am I wrong for that
put yourself in my position
can you blame me
every time I close my eyes
I see you 
my beautiful dream 
I'm almost afraid to wake up 
the risk is too great 
because I don't want the last time
to be the last time
but sooner or later
I have to wake up
the risk is too great
and I have to know
if you'll ever come true
even though my hopes are high
my expectations are low
because when I close my eyes
I don't see myself
but I do see you 
my beautiful dream 
and sometimes
that's all I need to see

More Than Meets The Haiku

If you aim higher, 
the world around you seems small
when it's really big.

L.O.V.E. Notes: Tu Última Sonrisa

La gente dice que tiene que sonreír más
y así que empezaste a pensar
cuándo fue la última vez que sonreí
porque muy poca gente ve esa parte de mí
eres una de esas personas positivas
que disfruta de las cosas sencillas
pero a veces es difícil para que usted pueda sonreír
a veces creo que no merezco a sonreír
es por eso que no puede recordar
usted no puede recordar su última sonrisa
pero recuerdas la última vez que lloraste
la última vez que sentiste el dolor
y la última vez que sentiste absolutamente nada
para qué sirven estos recuerdos 
si no te acuerdas de sonreír
y así que empezaste a pensar
cuándo fue la última vez que sonreí
porque muy poca gente ve esa parte de mí
suena como necesitas ver tu sonrisa más
por lo que nunca olvidas tu última

If You Dare

Feel free to doubt me
but first learn a little bit about me
if you can see pass my past 
into my heart 
that's a start 
if you stare into my eyes
their in lies the key to my soul
but many are shocked 
to discover that it's unlocked
why keep it secure
just because it's pure
how else will you get to know me
if I knowingly deny you
so why even try to
why try to justify your doubts
just to find out you were wrong
and I've been right all along
I mean this is me we're talking about
but feel free to doubt me if you must
these days it's harder to build trust
and easier to build a wall
so maybe if you get to know me
before you no me
perhaps you'll say yes after all

L.O.V.E. Notes: Believe You Can

I know you don't like trying anything new
but if there's something you want to do
you have to believe you can
and I'm not just speaking as a man 
trying to execute a plan
I'm speaking for us all 
we cannot be afraid to fall
no matter how scary the view looks 
but after giving it a few looks 
I've decided to take the leap anyway
better that than doing nothing any day
you have to believe you can
and I'm not just speaking as a man
trying to execute a plan 
I'm speaking as someone who will 
because I have the will 
do you have the will
or do you have doubts
are you someone who pouts 
when the going gets tough
or someone who calls their own bluff
and steps up to the plate
rather than leaving it all in the hands of fate
I guess there's only one way to find out

Bad Sign Haiku

It's not okay for
anyone to label you,
especially you.

Ellos No Saben (Traducido del Inglés)

Hay algo diferente en ti
siempre has sido hermosa 
así que eso no ha cambiado 
hay algo más 
algo que significa más para ti
lo veo 
y otros lo ven también 
pero ellos no saben por qué 
como dije
siempre has sido hermosa 
pero si sólo supieran lo que pasó 
cuánto luchaste 
todo el tiempo que invertiste 
los reveses 
muchas caras decepcionadas
y el dolor de todo eso 
pero todo eso te hizo más fuerte 
en tu fe
y en tu vida
lo veo
otros lo ven también 
pero ellos no saben por qué 
hay algo diferente en ti 
la diferencia eres tú
