You were born to be freaking awesome! Don't let others keep you down. Choose freedom. Choose authenticity. Choose bravery.
Red is bold. Embrace the red.
Embrace the red

Embrace the red
Even if it's molten lava
The fieriest fire
The blessed aria
Explosive passion
Never tame the beast
Crimson flags
From West to East
A lot can happen
Between you and me
A lot can be accomplished
By human beings
So stake your claim
Your boundary lanes
Know your worth
Dreams not shame
Embrace the glory
Embrace the glow
Embrace the scarlet
Embrace all you know
Explosive genius
Never frame the scene
Love and lessons
Every fantasy
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Be the red instead
From match to flame

The plate is full and overflows,
Why continue filling what’s full?
It’s clean but claim to wash it still:
Exhibiting tints of a clueless fool.
It’s shining its best but you polish still
What resplendently shines so bright,
Claiming to add glow to fieriest stars
That adorn hallowed heavenly height.
But you don’t want to fill;
In truth you want to deplete
While cunningly feigning still
That you put more on enough.
It’s that unmatched heavenly shine
That you’re out to extinguish slowly
While pretending in its glow to dine;
A foe with a calculated aim to darken.
Tonight through the darkness,
I wander and crawl
The faces seem ghoulish,
my past to recall
Unsure of direction,
I listen for sounds
To possibly guide me,
as fire abounds
I look to my left,
as hooves thunder past
I look to my right,
and Beelzebub laughs
All colors have gone,
just the fieriest red
I live out my fear,
I live out my dread
One hope then to muster,
that faith remains true
And guides me inclement,
past demons anew
Despair almost total,
regret full in charge
I squint through the smoke,
there’s new light from afar
I plod on my knees,
and it grows brighter still
As the temperature drops,
and the moment is chilled
Once free of damnation,
my life starts again
With sacred commitment,
forgiven of sin
My tomorrows in passing,
I live for today
Belief my salvation
—as humbly I pray

SOON M COMING HOME !!!
Summers been too slow
Tides never been so low
Days haven’t quickly gone
But We still have to hold on
Fates never been so severe
Eyes now just holding onto those tears
Waiting for the moment is tough
Even seconds without U makes life rough
Dear
Just need U to wait a little
Bond we share is no more brittle
Passed through fieriest fire
Our love will last for entire
Soon the flow will change
Tides will have an altered range
Would then be possible for self to steer
And navigate safely to pier
Promise won’t be late
Would be glad to see U
With those eyes comb
Standing next to gate
Dear I’ll be coming Home
M coming Home.

As I set staring so far out at the bay, I saw a flash that was so fieriest and fast. I
looked at the sky with a blink of my eye and saw the black clouds rolling in so
fieriest and fast, for then I heard the thunder roar the wind blowing in such an
unremarkably and fieriest way.
It was as if Mother Nature was so having a retaliation day, so there for I say slowly
calm down my beauty mother of nature; for you are bewilderingly our remarkably
beauty of nature.
