A lot of people were raised listening to their elders tell them, "if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all".
Hello again, and today is Friday, January 25, 2013. I feel that as of late I've been stuck in a rut. Not only in my writing, but in school, and life in general.
Riddles of Life never cease. The path I find myself on was beneath my feet long before the conscious recognition.
If I said I loved myself Would you think I'm conceited. Maybe I'm happy. Don't care how I'm treated If I said I loved myself Would you love me to. Would you be pleased for me. Would you feel blue.
You lay me down. My skin bare. You humiliate me. And shame me. You show me what it was like to be there. There in the beginning. When you were shamed. Burnt and scarred. When you were laid down.
I do not love you, Not for a long time, I pretended and pretended Like my life depended Upon that connection, But no, I know that I most certainly Do not love you Anymore.
There is a girl I know, Her name is Unsung Melody, Her friends are kind to her, But she believes they are her enemies, She is a girl with no confidence, And she lives in life's celibacy, But her...
I'm ready to sleep the whole night. I'm ready to give up against the fight. I'm ready to give up control for a while. I'm ready to pick up the phone and dial. I'm ready to forgot the pain and strife.
I have hurt you in the past. Badly. Almost unforgivably. I still think about how I wronged you, how those few words uttered from my lips nearly ruined the best thing that had ever happened to me.
I know that we have been through some hard times, you have always been there at the end of the phone, I know you are there, and I can talk to you, Then I know I can cope, and know I’m not alone.
Just a thank you, A little message to you all, Those of you who've been so kind, When I've had an emotional downfall, It's no secret, That I've been struggling, A mixture of emotions, I've been...
Sometimes you have to just stop trying to repair. It's not that you are giving up in despair. It's actually moving on to something new. Opening your mind and heart to see a different point of view.
You don't realize how much someone means to you. How much you love them until its too late. When they are hurt or about to die. You don't want them to.
You don't need masks, Or capes, Or gloves, To be a super hero. You don't need powers, Sidekicks, Spotlights, To get where you want to go.
Happiness. Something we all hold inside of ourselves. Something that we sometimes so unknowingly hide. Something that can be so easily summoned and appreciated. Something that is just a smile away.
Strength , grace, and wisdom... I won't trade them for disgrace, money, or fame...
Hello again and today is Tuesday, January 22, 2013. If you say that you've never been a hypocrite, then you're not only wrong but also being a hypocrite by saying it.
Step up to the crowd Don't be shy now, you'll succeed. Step up to the people Who won't let you proceed. Step up to the critics That start rumours about you.
#acrostic. H idden from others you hide the real you. Y ou wear your mask so no one can see through. P ropagating one thing whilst something else you do.
Hypocrites disease, Yes we all aim to please, Pleasuring ears with words and sentences, Of tiny lies and pretences, we of Course pretend to be something we're not, Ripened beings, the pick of...
Going up. I see the sky. Going back. I see the ground. Going up. Higher I try. Going back. I push the ground. Going up. Smiling to what lies ahead. Going back. Learning from the past with no regret.
The final chapter: A prelude to my happy ending. No longer bound by the ropes of anxious thought. And No longer a prisoner to my own being.
Find ways to manipulate the time. Fine times stimulate the mind. Lines drawn daring you to cross this line. Daring the better men in this forgotten time. Lost women, with lost minds.
I remember when I had nothing but you It was a long time ago When I was younger, reckless, stupid It was at a time when I didn't know my worth A time where I didn't know how just how valuable I was...
