The Game

Okay lets start this again,
say this whole scheme was just pretend
that we are just in some charade that is just a test
that our life is just a test to see who will be the best

So look at the ranking and where do you stand
because for me I am finding this hard to grasp
I mean am I at the end or at the top with the most grand
or am I in the middle with the rest who are just under the betters clasp?

Now let's say that everyone around is fighting to be at the top
and if you back down the difficulties will never stop
to be at the top is to have no worries no problems that cause grief
so now are you at the bottom of despair or the top of relief

However you could be in the middle
cruising without too many trouble just trying to get through the game
although you are in a way just like the higher ones fiddle
will you just keep going the same?

In this game you only have one life
no lives to waste, no chances to let go to strife
oh and just to make it more fun you can only love one
only one person to love and if you love more your done

Now look at this game and see would you survive?
would you just make it to the end of the game
still there physically but your mind did not come out alive
or would you be the few who live and come out with not a single blame?

I Dare You

Today I made a deal with the world
hit me with your best shot and I'll fight back with mine
and that no matter what disastrous swirl
I would keep trying with a force so divine

from here on out
no matter how much you shout
I will not fall under your force
and I will keep trying no matter what the course

you can send out all my fears
you can try to make me weak
but you will see no tears
and when you try to tear me down you will be the one turning bleak

I dare you world, to try to defeat me
but it will only be a one sided victory you shall see
one of us will come out alive
so the question is who will survive?

Do Not Change

I find myself looking for some great change
something that will alter the world around
maybe even something strange
even if it is the shifting of the ground,
and in the quest I have found that change
can make an array of results
some good and some just plain strange
some I have found can be tumults
most however do not seem to make life differ
because we have learned how to make things go back to order
and no matter what the more try to change we just become more stiffer
it is as if we just cannot cross the border
we try to change the things that people do not agree with
and we try to appease to what they desire
but our personalities will never go to every desire and with that we must live
and in trying to change out natural abilities we will only tire
I have tried to change who I am several a times
the traits I possess, the habits I do
and from this I have made a great find
that there is no way to change who are in the true
and if you try you will only become blind
be who you are, although you may find people will not agree
or like the way you are
there are always those that your true beauty they will see
and no matter what you are who you are

Choice

Here I am staring at you
and I can't stop thinking what should I do
while I know you make me happy and feel loved
there is someone else that for you is above
I want to say that you are the one for me
but I know that could cause a catastrophe
another who cares for you is very close
while I say I might have a chance I don't want to boast
because I know that you mean the world to her
and I wish for this problem there was a cure
I want to talk to you and hear the warmth of your voice
but in doing that I could be making a wrong choice
because while I care for you with all of my being
it is her you should be seeing
because when it comes to it she deserves you
and I know in my heart it is true
so I will weep in sorrow and shed tears for years to come
but I will know that are with the one
and so I will learn to move on

The Gift of Pain and the Heart

The heart is a curious thing

although it is just an organ emotion we say it brings

the feeling of pain and fear

and comfort and happiness for all to hear

it causes us to feel an array of emotions that control our being

some that make us so blinded that the world we are not seeing

but it is the pain that comes from this organ that makes us wise and brave

even though during these rough times only happiness we crave

through the troubles of our heart and mind 

we can find the person we must be and leave the past us behind

it is a trouble of a thing being torn into pieces of shame and hurt

and feeling like during this pain our friends choose to desert 

and leave us to feel this pain that will make us shed tears of horror and grief

but yet during this time we are growing like a new leaf

growing into a person that can face various challenges on our own

when it feels like us against the world and none of that past fear is shown

this is when we see that the pain has served us well

and because of that I had this story to tell

The Simple Things

The slight wind brush in the trees
the gentle water as it reaches your knees
a beautiful raindrop on your face
another flower that none can replace
the sunlight as it sprays on your being
while the slight of birds you are seeing
the simple things in life
that make it such a great strife
the things that make life so sweet
and nothing else with it can compete
the things in life we stop at and look
even the simplicity of reading a book
these are the simple things
that so much joy brings

Another Motivational Poem

The world is at our finger tips and yet we let it pass by

we have to power to change so much but time we let fly

we could be spreading our knowledge and sharing something new

instead the materialistic things of this world suck us in leaving behind only a few

we say someone else will do the job and help our world yet we still wonder who

and we never think maybe it could be me that creates the change if only sooner I knew

then there are those who say that they will change themselves and the world for the greater good

but when it comes down to it they abandon the thought and go back to a life of someone else should

and then there are those that take the world into their hands and spend their whole life trying to make it better

whether it is just a simple change or something that will make the world just seem better

these are the people who the world looks upon with a face of appeal

making these peoples deeds seem surreal

why is it that we can not be these people that make us feel honor and pride

and why is it that it is the ones who could make great change that hide

our world is used to the normal and to the same

and laying around becoming more and more lame

we waste our talents and our dreams

on things such trying to make our life artificially better than it seems

and so I challenge you today

to go a different way

you may not be as great as some of the ones that came before you

but with a little hope and encouragement there is anything you can do

and while this seems like a false promise and just another motivational rant

the smallest inspiration can make some people say always say yes and never I can't  

Repeating Heart Break

We all have our loves in life
the ones who make you feel great or kill your heart with a knife
some will never even know of your love
and you may even fall for those who are way above
we let many get away
when we wished that they could have stayed
just for a little longer
so that your love could grow stronger
but once they leave your heart breaks like never before
and you just want to see them back at your door
but in a strange way you know its for the best
and that it will prepare you for the rest
the many more that will scar your soul
and create in it so many holes
and every time one more comes again
you want to believe that your heart they will mend
when truth be told
they might just make you feel more cold
but one day that one will come
and they will be greater than anyone

The Brilliance of Wind

The wind blows over my face
 Into my hair and eyes leaving no untouched space
 It engulfs my body in a brilliant swirl
While my mind it rapidly twirls
 A joy spreads throughout my heart
 And a feeling of greatness begins to start
 It makes me want to dance and sing
 And run in unending rings
 It brings joy and comfort into my soul
 And now because of this new found greatness I can reach my goal

The Beauty of the Earth

The glory of the earth shines in our path

 Not showing any discouragement or any wrath 

The beauty is present near and far 

But some places you cannot simply reach by car

 You must explore the depths of the world and seas

 And go through raging waters and millions of trees

 The world around is waiting to be explored today So what will you say? 

Will you let the unknown beauty stay unknown?

 Or your intelligence grow from the nature show 

 The valleys and plains wait to be looked upon by your own eyes

 And the deep caverns want to go without disguise 

 The world around us is waiting to be discovered

 So what in knowledge and search will you uncover?

The So Called Rejected

So many people walk around with a smirk on their face

not knowing that a smile it could replace

always saying woe on my soul

while only from themselves are they making a dark empty hole

they beg the world to see their pain

while their ignorance is the real place of blame

there are those who are there for them but they refuse to see

and cry why isnt anyone here for me when im begging on my knees?

they put on a show of no one is here for me

but they are not the only one that their burden they heave

so many people are there for them day in and out

showing that no matter what they will always be there without a doubt

there are these people in life who can say woe is me

while people are there and they are trying to make that person see

they try to show them that no matter what the struggle they will be there in the end

while the so called rejected puts on an act and will just pretend

Reuniting

When we see those that we love after a long while

it makes our hearts brighten up with a smile

We feel the sudden sense of relief and joy

that distance seems to destroy

it is such a grand feeling to be back home

and abandon the fright of being alone

although being home is such a gift

our duties it does not lift

we know that we cannot stay here for very much longer

and in leaving it makes our hearts grow stronger

we have to brave the distance that separates our laughter and fun

and remember that we will never be done

another time will come

when we will unite with everyone

and the stories of the past

will seem to forever last

and the time we spent away will not seem so bad

but when we leave again it will still be sad

at least we know that those who we love will be in our minds

and our memories will create adventures of every kind

Battle of the Mind

There is this moment right now

that I do not know what to do or how

I am lost in my own mind

and swirly around are thoughts of every kind

some happy some sad

some good and some bad

some that lift me with hope

and some that shove me down the slope

I am trying to bring out the good and the right

but the dark ones cloud me like the dead of night

in my mind I am in a battle with myself

and I know that it cannot be good for my health

I am saying to myself come on good side you can win

and trying to defeat the evilness and sin

my mind is like a battlefield raging with power

and it has been going like this for days and many an hour

it seems as thought the bad side has more strength and will win

but then a strange thing starts to begin

the words of truth and what is right

comes out from the dark night

they come as though a flurry of luminous glow

and the goodness it will most definitely show

it wipes away the darkness in one swift rush

and the raging war turns into a soft gentle hush

suddenly everything is clear and beauty is here

and now darkness shall stay far and light near

The Material Things

The world has evoked a change

one that seems oh so strange

suddenly the world controls our thoughts

and we are encouraged to cast lots

the world suddenly controls us all

from politics to ads in the mall

how we are suppose to find out who are

if what defines us is our car

we say yes to the world and all of its ways

while in our minds it forever stays

telling us what to do and what to buy

when all of it is just one big lie

the movies, the music, the things that make us smile

will all be gone in a short while

what we base our lives upon

in a flash will be gone

suddenly the world around us will fall apart

and that is when we will see who was smart

we will see who put their trust in the things that will fade

or if they gave their all  in the friendships and great relationships they made

because the ones who have chosen to take life as it is

are going to be the ones that live

they will be the ones who will stand in the end

while a happy life the others will pretend

they will be the ones who stand over us all

while casting down a shadow so tall

although they will not boast

that they choose the things that matter most

we will all know that the ones on the ground

are lower than the rest all around

so do not put your trust

in things that in time will rust

do not put your faith in the material things

cause only pain this brings

put your faith in those who can sustain it

and love in those who can maintain it

only in doing this will we prevail

while the rest of the world will fail

The Mountain

I am standing on this mountain so high

And all that surrounds me is sky

The earth and the ground are nowhere near

And the cries of the world I cannot hear

I am in my place where nothing can take me away

And here I want to forever stay

Where I can see all that is below

And on the very peak the fresh winter snow

I know that I have my life down there

But its just so nice to stop and not have a single care

I wish I could stay up here and forget the world and all its mess

And then my worries would become less and less

I could rest for more than just a few days

And see the sunrise and set and its brilliant rays

Everything would shine with beauty

But I know that I have other duties

I know that others are counting on me

And that I cannot just leave

It is not only a duty but a life that I want to live

And to complete my mission to others I must give

So I go down from the mountain and remember its glory

And I can tell others my story

I will go back some day

But for now here I must stay

Consolation

To cry and to whimper in our sorrows

while it seems only pain our heart borrows

those days that you lose a friend and part of you dies

and when it feels like your soul is filled with unending cries

these are the days that we fear the most

and that about no one can ever boast

these are the times when we say to one another

since we are all in pain, lets comfort each other

even though we may be feeling our own hurt

our friends we do not choose to desert

we stick by each other all throughout the day

even if there is nothing to say

the days when it seems like the world will end

our hearts our friends seem to mend

we hope that they will be there in our pains and in our tears

and when holds us is our fears

you desire to feel better

but deep inside you feel like a long lost letter

yet in our times of despair

our friends really do care

A New Quest

So many days I have lived the same

never even knowing what I might lose or gain

day after day along the same trail

not becoming stronger nor  frail

just going the same way

and the same things I still say

but today will be different I will change

although it may seem sudden and strange

I will do something heroic and good

and make an example for all who should

and then  after this day of a new way

I will live differently the next day

not like how it was before

just a simple bore

but living an adventure whenever I can

even if I dont have some intricate plan 

I will live my days how they appear before my eyes

even if it means that at the end of the day my poor soul cries

It will be a quest that will make my life anew

and so this I must go do

The Path

I am walking down this path of my life

and I know that this will not be my last strife

I know that I have a mission that I must succeed

and that many others I must lead

There have been many people who have told me so

but can never tell me which path to go

everyone says you will do great things

but where on earth will I do these things

I want to know what plans are set out for me

and so then I can live my life accordingly

I need to know what path to take

so that a mess of my life I do not create

why cant a sign just appear

instead of shedding so many tears

we always want to know which path to go down

instead of searching all around

we do not want to face the hardship and pain

even though an experience we will gain

we want to cower from what our lives will become

and have someone just tell us, someone, anyone

just to know and to not have to try and try

and to not face the pains that make our hopes run dry

but we cannot just have it handed to us

it is something that becomes of us

it defines who we are and who we will become

and we are different from everyone

we must choose the path we must take

even though we may make many mistakes

and we will see from our acts and our ways

if we have gone the right ways

The Brewing Storm

The rain starts with the slight drizzle from the sky

and it falls into the corner of your eye

it then starts to come down in a rush

and creates a sounds similar to a hush

it begins to fall harder and harder to the ground

and things are becoming damp all around

Then it comes down with a fierce might

and the dark clouds make it seem as though it was night

until there is a flash lightning and thunderous roar

and the rain is not just a simple hush anymore

it is now a growing noise that pierces the air

and it makes everyone stop and stare

like the crack of a whip and the flash of fear

you can hear the noise coming near

the wind starts to run its waves through the trees

and tosses and turns the fallen leaves

the light gentle rain has been replaced

by a storm that non dare to face

it goes on for so long

like a never ending song

then as quick as it began it seems finish

and the rain and wind slowly diminish

the storm has finished at last

and now it seems that all of it is in the past

Letting Go

I cannot live this way

being restricted in every possible way

I cant just have you tell me no

When I just want to run away and go

You cant tell me what to do anymore

and you cant come running to my door

I am no longer under your possessive hold

and under your shadow so cold

you cannot make my life a mess

because I am not like the rest

I can fight you and not let you win

and so here is where it will begin

from here on you are not a piece of me

and I will show who I can be

I will conquer the rough days that cross my path

and I shall never feel your agonizing wrath

I am going to be strong and fearless in the sight of you

and about this there is nothing you can do

I am letting go of you today

so now you can be on your way

The Happy Mind

The happy mind

is most gentle and kind

with knowledge and grace

no one it can disgrace

it shows the most helping hand

and makes the person feel grand

a certain cheer fills the air

and everyone stops and stares

while the happy person goes around

unaffected by the loudest of sounds

doing good and seeking joy

is something no one can destroy

the happy mind is the healthiest of all

and no deed is too large or too small

we forget to nurture this set of mind

and instead we wrap it in a tight bind

remember to share the joy within your heart

because a reaction it will start

Human Nature

Although we always want to walk in our own ways

some of the characters of being a human stays

the natural gift of loving one another

and being kind and gentle to each other

do we really think that we were made to cause pain?

or to be careless and vain

we were made to make some of the greatest of things

and to make sure love and happiness our life brings

many people want to seem unhappy and dark

even though inside is a growing spark

the want to do something good and right

and making peace the greatest might

do not try to hide your good morals

because in doing so you will only create quarrels

Leaving

I stare at the ones I love as I say goodbye

my sister I am hugging while trying not to cry

although I know I am going to place that is good

I still feel like leaving here is something I never should

I say goodbye to my friends

and with the ones who are not I try to make amends

why is it that we see how people think of us

only when we are about to leave on a bus

I realized I have made an impact on more than I can count

even when I thought it was a minimal amount

I hope that where I am going I can fulfill my dreams

but leaving is harder than it seems

I must be strong

on this journey so long

but with a helping hand

I know that it will be one that is grand

Words of Pain

I stand here waiting for this moment to end

although the forces of time I cannot bend

just wondering why must this happen to me

as my thoughts race quickly

with every word the pain seems to grow

like a deadly arrow being released from a bow

it shoots through my heart and extends my pain

but being calm I must remain

why is it my soul that must be put to the test

and why do they treat me like I am a worthless pest

I stand here waiting to see

if they will start to treat me differently

they do not think that I can hear their terrible words

but I can hear it as clearly as the singing of the birds

I am standing here taking it all in

and cannot wait for the silence to begin

The Storm

The ocean waves crash on the shore

and the blue water doesn't seem pleasant anymore

the clouds roll in

and the storm starts to begin

the wind is howling with terror and rage

and this storm will be the worst of the age

the waves start to grow with more hunger and might

and the dark clouds make it seem like the dead of night

the palm trees sway with fear

and the animals run in spite of fear

the once peaceful beach has turned into a shrine of fright

and takes away the existence of light

this once beautiful ocean of brilliance and cheer

seems to in a flash disappear

The World

The world that we live in today

has come a long way

we have made many achievements that have brought us high

but we have also made disasters in which many die

we have created the most interesting things

but from those greed and pride it brings

we have explored the depths of the seas

but have made the forests fall to their knees

in our world we have done good and bad

so many things that can make us happy and sad

but the most reassuring thing of all

is that this is just a part in the long haul

we still have a ways to continue the good

and to eliminate things the defy the meaning of good

we still have another day to build the world to what it is supposed to be

but it will not come easy but it is something we must achieve
