Drinking To Escape the Pain

Drinking, what does it do for you. Drinking does nothing for your life except make 
it miserable. You hurt loved ones each time you drink the worse part of it all is 
you know your doing it. Why do we drink, they say we drink for the fun of it. I didn’t 
know car crashes were fun. Or, hurting people from drinking on a regular basis 
was fun. You are basically committee murder when you drink. You kill yourself 
inside and others around you. It may not show physically, but you show it to the 
world. On the inside you’re hurting you try to ignore the pain, but the pain is 
unbearable. So you drink to ignore the pain, but it only last for so long.  Then that 
inadmissible pain is back ten times worse then before you drank. They say that 
man is bound to repeat it self, learn from past mistakes. Don’t drink you can save 
so many lives; you save yourself and loved ones close to you. Your loved ones 
will no longer feel the pain you cause from drinking. So for everyone’s sake don’t 
drink it doesn’t do anything for you in the long run.

A Love Worth Protecting

Always protecting
you in the darkness
of the night.
Keeping you safe
until we 
meet again.  The
moon will ever be
hanging in the
endless sky above.
The light 
of the infinite
stars to guide you
to me. So as I may
guide you through
the 
fantasies of life. 
The moon will never
leave you, nor will
I, like the infinite
stars 
above is my love for
you. When the sun
peaks through the
horizon of the night
all 
past adversities of
the heart are
forgotten. The sun
will continue to
shine another 
day, always aware of
your presence and
watching over you
day after day. As
the 
sun shines another
day my love for you
grows stronger each
passing moment. In 
these days of new
awakenings I see
only you. Our hearts
connect as time 
passes and our love
grows. The beauty of
our love is not
complete without our

souls now our souls
connect and
strengthen as one. I
will protect you and
stay 
with you until the
end I will never say
farewell to you.
I'll hold you when
your hurt, 
together we'll make
a perfect circle.
I'll take your hand
forever and bury
your 
troubled past. I
promise to wipe away
your tears of hurt
and sadness. I will 
continue you to love
you today, tomorrow
and everyday after.

Waiting.......

seconds turn to minutes.......waiting
minutes turn to hours...........still i wait
hours turn to days...........continuosly i wait
days turn to weeks...........determindly i wait
weeks turn to months...............unbelievably still i wait
months turn to years................forever more i'll wait

Purpose

What is life without a purpose? If you do not have a purpose then it is like you 
don’t exist at all in this world. You feel as though you’re in a dark hell. Every one 
around you treats you as though you’re some kind of monster. You don’t know 
why you are so hated and why you even exist. You feel as if you’re a relic of the 
past that everyone wants to be rid of. You feel as if this pain isn’t normal.  You 
feel as though you will be trapped in this darkness of despair for all eternity. Until 
that one day you meet and find some one who accepts you. If you hadn’t of met 
this person, if you had remained alone, you would of ended up hated everyone 
for the pain they caused you.  The moment you meet this person you realize you 
to have a purpose. You’re life doesn’t seem so meaningless anymore. You were 
rescued from the darkness of that world that seems so far away now. You now 
have a purpose in this world thanks to that special someone.

My Slow Insanity

Going slowly insane falling apart in my mind
Not knowing what to do because of these overpowering eyes
Wanting to shift the tides
Trying so hard to hide what you already know
Tortured by my mind telling me you could feel the same
But im to scared to ask you feeling it could ruin everything
Playing what i would say over and over in my head
While everytime your near i lose all train of thought
Hoping that one day it'll be my reality

Revolving Fate

If fate is a wheel, we are the cogs that drive it. We have no choice but to believe 
that this wheel is flawless and forge on ahead. The power of the individual cogs 
and their destinations and the blade that is brought down upon them. People 
seek power to change their fate. What I seek is a turn of fate. Revolving and each 
time it's touched by the light of the sun and the moon. The world is always 
changing into something new. If fate is a wheel than we are the sand that is 
crushed between the cogs, we are helpless. All we want is power, even if we 
can't protect others by extending our hands we desire a blade for those hands to 
grasp. The power to crush one's fate must look like a blade swinging down.

Light Inside the Darkness

As the light falls through an open window
The darkness in my heart resurfaces, when the sun’s gone down and the moon 
rises, I fail to sleep and the hearts beat misses, I seek my clear passage 
through the moons gaze, as my mind clears itself from it’s maze, the whole world 
sleeps and I move toward the sky, blissful air, clean and crisp, no one there to be 
cruel or mean, alone in the dark of the hidden moon, there comes a sound of my 
own voice, calling for peace, seeking my truest choice, at last I’m sleeping, night 
has gone, and no one heard my questioning song, again I’ll sleep the same 
every day, dancing alone to my own tune, under the glow of the bright, white, 
moon.

Reality and Fantasy

We fantasize about what we want to do with our lives. 
Constantly day dreaming to escape our realities. 
One day though we will have to growup and we will no longer be able to day 
dream again.
Except in those hours of the night while we sleep, we can dream about anything 
we want.
We will have to make our fantasies a reality if we want to accomplish our ultimate 
dreams.

Dark Light

The light is always there to help the forlorn. However what about the Dark Light. 
The Society of Light caught in the darkness. On the surface all is calm and quit. 
But underneath is chaos and pandemonium. The Dark Light will control the 
world if we just stand by and watch as it passes us one by one. We must put a 
stop to all the terrible wars and racism in this world. Otherwise, the Dark Light 
will consume us all.

Perseverance

Though life has many trials and its pleasures may be few, 
If you have perseverance, it will see you through. 
Some troubles destroy the body, others stress the mind, 
But if you search within yourself perseverance you will find. 
Someday life will be over, and peace and joy by you be found, 
And because you didn't falter and your perseverance did abound 
You will live eternally on much higher ground
