Have you ever looked back.
Thought about the past, future,
and
present?
Saw life fly by without slowing
it
down.
Made mistakes you couldn't
take
back.
Met people you wish never
existed.
Lost people you wish you could
get
back.
Screwed up so bad that letting
go
was better then holding on.
Having that thought always run
through your mind.
Was it the right choice?
Will time just go on from here?
Is all lost forever?
It's like a clock that forgot how
to
turn.
One minute it's moving
And next your dead in your
tracks.
No where to run
No where to hide.
Still all you can think is why.
Why this,
Why that,
Why him,
Why her.
Having life as a door,
People, places and things
They come in and out so fast.
Some hurt,
Others just pass on by.
Without realizing what was had
its
gone in a blink of an eye.
Without the clock that stopped
time
Without the time what moved
to fast
Without the fast pace that
blinded all
Everything that once was
Is nothing anymore.
Everything that kept moving
Is just a blind shade.
Everything that stopped
Is flying by.
With all but a remembrance
From your mind.
The buzzing of the bees I call
The chirping of the birds I saw
The meowing of the dying cat
All this are all I saw and sat
Why on earth do they exist?
For ages such question can't resist
The blindness of the poorest bat
All this are all I saw and sat
My heart sings the song to all
Who has a butterfly on thy wall
Who never takes life sacrosant
Bet life will take you just alike
For you are more valuable then a pearl
Although the sand causes the pearl to form it's
luster and value you are more precious due to
your life experiences that you can share
Whether as a sister, niece, friend or mother
For our sand is equivalent to our challenges of life
that individuals will see our worth when we have a
positive impact on them
So embrace your life challenges for that is why
you are so priceless !

Viewing life through a lens,
My mind shot like a bullet going 100
miles a minute,
Then the journey begins,
I see the beauty in life,
Things I would miss if God would
end it,
Things the naked eye may never
understand,
The blissful moments in life,
I see the kindness in a lion,
The warm heart of a butterfly,
Shattered dreams that never flew to
the sky,
Like a slingshot trying to shoot a
razor blade,
Piercing the rubber band,
Like a cracked glass shattering in my
hand,
I see the maze of life,
Ways to heal the world,
I see the truth of love,
The reason to appreciate every girl,
The things to make a better world
begin,
Is hidden on the Earth as it spins,
Hidden by a higher class hoping we
will never know,
But I see the truth,
Viewing life through a lens,

Maybe the life of a nomad is for me
To always let my spirit be free
Accept homelessness as the steady state of things
As each new adventure in my life begins
Change the swirling river I need to sail
As in each direction I again do fail
Living from my car day to day
As with different friends I do stay
Being a nomad in a so very, modern way
Hardly conventional is all I can say
Sam my dear little, silver battered car
Been the most stable thing in my life thus far
Forgotten by many but perhaps a few
What's wrong with me, I haven't a clue
Can it be I'm always so wrong
Maybe tis tru I just don't belong
To find my place ill keep on trying
E'en though I stumble continuously crying
But I know to truly overcome to succeed
Tis my soul I must nourish and feed
Resilience must become my middle name
As I play life's vicious mind locked game
Though from others I'm so far apart
My roots belong deep in my heart
Homelessness just a current state of mind
As I search in vain for my own kind
I've so many mysteries of life to unwind
My destiny to to go out and find
Maybe the nomads life is for me
A rolling stone forever to be
For now ill keep moving and wait to see.
Shades of orange
Fall into my hair
Though it may be summer
Fall is in the air
The feeling of an ending
And sudden change around
So quick and so hard
My knees hit the ground
Amazing to think that
So much can happen
Months ago, this situation
I never thought I'd be in
But when life hands you lemons
And you make lemonade
When life hands you hell
There are debts to be paid
Though I'm not certain
If my strength will stand
I will walk with the fate
None the less, hand in hand
Do not deceive me dear, I have seen death,
Consume the cause of casualties at war.
Believe my blood was born to bleed the breath,
Of life unloved that left lost ones before,
Yet I deceive my life of breath no more.
As I assume this art I ail to ask,
Many to mourn upon my morbid mask,
To kiss colors I cry to paint as art.
Tied down by tears I'm torn unto a task,
Aimless in awe of life and death apart.
If you ask me to describe
A life of loneliness..
I may never satisfy you with
a to-the-point answer..
A life of loneliness
is,sometimes,like endless
ennuis
& often it involves
consolations & compromises..
When nobody laughs..at
your jokes..
Nobody sighs at your sorrow..
As if the entire humanity is
lost in slumber
Or,perhaps,the World has
got better reasons to engage
itself..
But..How I can I overlook
the "Me" in me..
The trail of my identity that
exists within..
That rebels against my
loneliness..!
Llfe is a road that we all must travel
A game to be played a puzzle to
unravel
I marvel at the things life throws my
way
Another test i must pass to make it
through each day
So what does life have in store is
the question i ask
Will i find the fulfillment i search for
in each task
Take the lessons i have learned and
apply them as such
learn to comprehend each one and
not worry so much
So this game i have conquered and
play with no shame
so this life that i live shall be one in
the same
I see beauty all around me
everywhere that I turn,just to
behold my surroundings is my only
concern,to live life to the fullest as is
my intent,to be happy with myself is
what keeps me content,my time is
spent pondering amazed at the
sights that I behold with my eyes,so
the adventures I encounter I am not
so surprised,in this life that I lead
the obstacles are many,though I
don't have a lot but yet I have
plenty,so yes I am blessed to be
breathing and well ,roaming free in
this world and not locked in a cell,for
it could always be worse I keep
telling myself,so in conclusion to
being at one with myself
Life wasn't intended for the weak.
Life is suppose to knock you off your feet.
Never let life
strip you of your fight.
Showing your fears
will bring you tears.
Letting your guard down
will get you pushed around.
Jealousy shows its demons
courage is whats needed.
The Tough walk with their heads held high
and the strong always get by.
Starts out as a drink one time
before you know it, it's every night.
Stopping at your favorite spot
on your way home from work.
Looking forward to
having a drink
grab a cup and pour it in.
Sit alone on the couch
as you watch your life play out, on the shadows of the walls.
Turn the light on to erase it all.
Thinking to yourself
how did life unravel so quick?
I was only looking for a fix.
with bottle in hand you walk to the sink
knowing it needs to stop now
you pour it out..
Every day, on average, 11,318 American youth (12 to 20 years of age) try alcohol for the
first time, (the marin institute)
I have a handful of sand
This is because of my motherland
I have met a an old sagel
When it was my child age
He told me some needs of life
The life is of sorrow and knife
Teachers are most important
They doesn’t work for us on rent
Family is also important for you but
Donot forget your friends too
Don’t forget your mother land
And don’t forget to help others with your peaceful hands
He said live life happy as you can
As the chain of your life can break any time and any day
There’s no escaping it
My life is in turmoil
I feel so lost
And definitely hurt
Love is a concept
An object of confusion
Hatred is understood
And seen too often
Pain, a reckless heartache
Showing dark feelings
Its crushing hearts
Seemingly endless
No, there’s no way out
My life is trapped
I’m spiraling downward
Crashing to the ground
Hope is fading
Faith is writhing
Life is crying
Everything is dead
Or dying
Russell Sivey
Bright clouds endless days
New beginnings of a life unbound by chains
With a step forward with love and a desperate need for affection
With life being lived day to day
Loving something new each and every time
You see clear righteous free life
wanting to strive for success
With the one and only chance
Be free
