Emotional Haiku

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

Happy New Haiku

Start the year smiling
so that you'll always know what
you're capable of.
