Life

The term life isn’t taken so lightly
It is a direction and a statement
It is spoken with truth from every angle

Life is complicated and a treasure
It is a precious gift given to everyone
But it only gives one chance
No mistakes will be erased

It is an interesting puzzle waiting to be solved
Life is difficult to understand
Some things may never be the same again

The term life isn’t taken so lightly
It is something very valuable
Nothing is paid without a price

Letting Go

My eyes and mouth are shut out from the world.
I can’t speak and see, I am blinded by my faults.
I express with nothing more than hand signals.

Family and friends guide me though my hard times.
Some walk away without turning back, but others stay and help.
My fear right now is letting them go.

The people who stayed walked with me side by side, but soon fade away.
They say their farewells and slowly drift.
Letting go is something difficult to deal with everyday.

Last Will

Dear Family and Friends, 
	My life had just ended as you all know. It was hard for me to keep a living image 
of me when my body is dead. Forever I will remember. Life had just begun and now it’s the 
time to end.
	Life was too complicated for me to withstand. Even for the ones I didn’t mean for 
them to suffer. My past was a present. The present is now a nightmare. The future is now 
forgotten. Day and night I suffer with the same pain I feel everyday.
	Whoever suffered along with me I am very deeply sorry .My life was filled with 
gifts and precious people but now I am empty with nothing at all.
	I do not wish to agonize others with my pain and suffering. The greatest debt I 
would owe everyone is my life. I have died to keep you safe and most of all happy. Thank 
you everyone for everything that I shouldn’t possibly deserve. I will always watch over 
everyone no matter what happens.

Forever Or Never, Eternal

You took my hand and said “I love you”
There was nothing to say, speechless
Who would have known?

My eyes glimmered with tears of joy
All I had to say was two words
I hadn’t, it ruined my life

We don’t see each other anymore
No more hellos or goodbyes
Not even love

My world collapsed after you left
You took half of my heart
I had taken nothing from you

Was I stupid?
Why couldn’t I say two simple words?
Now I’m empty inside

The times we shared
The memories we cherished
They were all wasted

The only one who understood me is gone
You will never come back
Never ever

You walked away without turning back
You heard my cries but didn’t care
I guess love is working its charms

Dream

I dream a perfect life
My life wishes, simply
It has been a waste to dream
Nothing can be real

I dream of a good life
I have plenty of friends that care
I have a life to spend
But this is just the beginning

I have been living a lie
A pathetic way to begin every journey
The world will never be the same
This is the end, of a new beginning

Goodbye

Why am I thinking so hard about life?
People walk their lives rough or smooth
But mine, I walk like a blind man
My life is just becoming too complicated
Why am I alone from the rest of the world?

Will I reach my dream like the others?
I am lost at my own thoughts
Deciding who I am and who I wan to be
This is not part of my life; it is the way I walk
This part would be the hardest: live or die

My options are very limited in my life
What will I really want to choose?
Giving up my life for the others to be happy
I think that would be my best excuse for dying
No one will really know until the days come

But once I die will I be forgotten?
Would the others want me back again?
My best and simple answer is NO
I made their lives complicated enough
It ends here with my first and last poem

Friendship

Friendship was two different sides
A good side ; positive opportunity
A bad side ; negative opportunity

For me I unexpectedly have both sides
The problems come and go as they please
Most problems stay and never leave

Friends stick to me, and then fall apart
Some will eventually tear me apart
It will be chaos until the end

My friends are special people
They are the exact opposite of what I expect
That’s why I love them all

Blind Love

My life had become complete the day I met you.
I was alone in the hallways and in the cafeteria.
I am not alone, I have you.

Days and nights pass, the relationship grows bigger.
Our hello’s turned in to I love you’s.
You filled the empty space in my heart.

Slowly the relationship drifts apart.
The hello’s become more distant.
What happened to my life?

You made new friends and so I became alone.
You became popular, but still I am alone.
Something had separated us from each other.

No more late night talks.
No sharing snacks in class.
The usual daily routine when you weren’t there.

A phone call from a familiar number.
 Not from her, but her parents.
She had died from cancer.

Tears run down my cheeks.
I arrived at her memorial.
One last look at her beautiful face.

More tears fill my eyes.
A note, addressed to me.
Something I wish not to forget.

“Dear Friend, I have left the earth with nothing more than a lesson learned. I learned to 
trust. It was you who had changed my life completely. I didn’t forget our memories when we 
were far. Every dream I had been of you. I never really left you, since you still have half my 
heart. I love you. Thank you so much.”

That was the end of my life.
I learned to trust from her.
I never left her either, she always had the other piece of my heart.

Last Words

You and your friends are the main characters
I am just a camera man recording the moments
You people loved and cared for each other but me

Today was a day to rejoice at the familiar park
I would love to remember my one last day
Great memories were cherished and kept

The sandbox was walked on with my final print
Leaving me behind in the back, alone was enough
I walk along to the streets, still recording

The first time I hear your voice calling my name
Screaming at me to move away now
I turn to see and so my whole life ended

Was it tears of joy or sadness?
I am long gone; there is no need to shed a tear
The place I lay is now my home

The friends are heartbroken, but why?
I gave too much pain in life
People should be happy now
You gather at my memorial
You say your prayers and wishes to me
I will not be able to stand by you

I watch in silence from a new home
I weep until the last person leaves
The only tears I have shed for everyone

People gather to watch the video
The memories and the pain
Again there were more tears

Others walked away from the beginning
The people who stayed were there to the end
I see myself holding the new camera

I leave the camera pointed to someone special
She was always a great friend to me
We shared our memories and secrets

Her name is on thing I can’t say
She changed my life and how I see it
I called her my best friend


The memories we both experienced were forgotten
She left me old and made new friends
I believed in fantasy not reality

The warm smile changed to a normal smile
The way I think of her has also changed
I have a secret, but will you listen

At the end, you realized I wasn’t important
But when I was by your side I was your friend
How things change during a couple of years

I have forgotten friendship
I have forgotten love
One thing I won’t forget is my last word: goodbye

Destined Path

I look the wrong way when others look the right way
I am weak and useless when others are confident and useful
I am an outcast

I choose complications when others choose easiness
I walk backward when other walk forward
I am an outcast

I want to be the same as everyone
I don’t want to be different
I am an outcast
