The world tries to tear you apart
But you can turn this ship around
And find a home for your heart
So long as you stand your ground

Your Dreams Your Way | A Poem
You’re counting down the days
Until you can see
Your dreams your way
Where you’re free to create
When you’re free to make
But don’t forget about the battles
You’ve been through
Or the cold hard truths
There’s only so much you can do
Someday this pain will end
You won’t feel sick again
Don’t waste what you’ve got
Cherish these diamonds
You deserve to have
The future you dream of
Live For | A Poem
What are you waiting for?
When will you love more?
Who do you hold in your heart?
Whenever you fall apart?
Why can’t you see?
You have nothing to lose.
Why can’t you believe?
You get to choose.
Do you live like you’re surviving?
Do you live as if you’re dying?
Shadow | A Poem
A car sits outside
in the night
Blinking and waiting
in dim light
I don’t dream
for if I do
I scream
Nightmares feel real
by morning
I’ve yet to heal
Shot around
like an arrow
Followed around
like a shadow
Fall And Fly | A Poem
You need lows to appreciate highs
You have to fall to know how to fly
You’ll get lost so you can find
You’ll hate your brain before you love your mind
These days will amount to so much more
Just wait till you see what you’ve been searching for
And when you’re there, on the mountain top
Looking out across the terrain
It will hit hard, crash down then
That moment of realization
That this is what you wanted all along
Why you put in the hours day and night
To do what no one else would
So you can lift everyone up
Get them to understand a better life
Every change brings a smile to your face
Even when nothing goes exactly your way
Truths | A Poem
You know you
Know what you can do
This isn’t about them
It’s not for them
One step, then another
Don’t use time as a marker
Look at your progress meter
Seek out measures of truth
Bring yourself to
Honesty comes before falsehoods
It hurts you and them too
Prove You Right | A Poem
I never wanted to let you down
I tried to turn this thing around
But I can’t fix what’s been done
I still remember watching your face
Seeing the way it changed shape
It hurts to know, to never let go
I can’t be perfect
The person you wanted
Know that I’m trying
Every day and every moment
I wonder why you still see
A bit of potential in me
There’s hope in your eyes
Like a fire that never dies
Just give me some time
I promise it’ll be fine
One day or night
I’ll prove you right
