I really shouldn’t put anything on a to-do before I die list. That’s asking for trouble. They’re the sort of things that never get done. If I’m ever going to get around to anything, it usually has to get started now. Sadly, any form of, “I’ll do it later” turns into a lot longer then I’d like it to be. Everything on the shelf stays right where it is.
The sweetest compliments aren’t always meant as nice words. I can’t think of one, “Good Job!” that ever really meant anything to me. “Wow that was fantastic” doesn’t really spark any appreciation either. It’s not to say that these words aren’t useful. But they just don’t come as anything more than polite. I don’t hold too many...

Love should only describe those insane with some sort of undead passion. It should only be reserved for consistent unchanging commitment. Instead it’s a word hereby meaning, “How totally awesome I feel right now and not any other moment in my life so don’t look too much into it.” The one thing that generally forgotten about love is that it doesn’t have an expiration...

Nothing visible will ever stay the same. Every time we give a second glance the moment has passed us by. Whenever I stare at something long enough, it’s as if I’m rendering time for my own reflection. The clouds hold still for a moment and the digital clock somehow never passes its minute on schedule. I forgot to stop this morning. Now, I’m at the end of another day. Time...

I took a good long look at the question at hand; first in the eyes of someone else seeking my opinion, many times, in the most ludicrous situations. But after some time it came to me as it truly was. The question was mine to start with and I was only hoping to have the question answered in my head. I would then be ready to pop out the solution in any situation. Whimsical and fanatical, it has been...
Most all hopes and dreams are absolutely unrealistic. Having hopes and dreams, also, is a fairly unrealistic endeavor . However, without them life would be irrevocably dull. In this, having dreams is absolutely practical.
You know someone is truly famous when people don’t want to give their children that name because it will make everyone think about, “that one guy” even after they’re dead.

It’s not that I’d like that no one could ever see inside, it’s just that it’s the only place I know how to hide. My walls are built and I don’t see weakness. They could only ever crush inwards. So if I do let anyone in please, make sure to tread through with great understanding that these walls really do keep unimportant things out. I’d rather not let everyone...

I could go with a cup of coffee tomorrow morning before work. I’d like to sit for a half hour or so and just read a book. It would be nice. I’d just be me in a small quite corner. Instead I’m spending that morning right now, and this would hardly be considered productive, at least, not as productive as anything I could be doing tomorrow morning. The colors inside the house at...
Moms are magical. One second there’s nothing to eat and five minutes later dinner is ready.
I’m not even kidding.

Wasting away is easy. The only difficultly in giving up is waking to a pile of neglected hopes, plans and dreams. I’ve said I don’t care, and these words have been my error. Suicide by waiting to run out of time. The saddest part could be, most people regret these actions mid bullet. Spend time wisely. I hope I never wake up and realize it’s too late. I won’t go to waste....

Sometimes, someone very dear to us has an opinion we care just as much for. A part of our heart has made space for just that person. If they told us we weren’t beautiful, smart, and if they told us we were hopeless it would be the same as if that part of our heart exploded, affecting the entire body. Don’t make a place in the heart for the world. If a stranger walked up to me and asked...

It’s so strange to want something so bad; without actually having it. Emotions are powerful. If I could, I’d like to pour my soul out onto paper and pray it looks beautiful. Someday I’d like to pour my soul into another person. There’s nothing that feels more powerful to us. It’s so strange to see it stay inside, so powerful, and not see the outside of me change....

Sweet with grace?
But she never did see.
Contempt at clear glass
Back, inside with distaste.
No one I know would disagree
Except she, who’s so, won’t want.
All the other worlds really not there
Seemed so pristine, perfect, and fair.
Dear sweet open door close to hide
Any act just as fake as mine.
Dear sweet open open mind
See that life is less sweet
To anyone’s other...
Live without sleep
Die without Peace

Beauty isn’t skin, shapes, proportion
Those lines that move sweet, with grace
Hold inside, deep and quite
Picture pretty, an image of fame
Each contour truly notate
Not to envy, discredit, love
Simply find them a face
But instead find hope
Love, to those they hold
I was going to go somewhere, do something, be somebody. I forgot that plans required actions. So instead I let my plans lie to me, or better yet, I let myself do the lie. Over time it does me in. I become less of everything. I wonder when, when I can finally say, “no, not later. Now”

Knowledge may not always be proportional to length, or even depth. Within the learning process of many education systems there are writing requirements that students have to follow. It’s not to say that four page essays shouldn’t be required. But it is to say that writers should be able to explain efficiently with a short amount of words just as much as through an extensive amount. In...

The words beat relentlessly against inside his head; which is to say that he was having considerable trouble trying to decide whether to intentionally decide to do the right thing or to do the easy thing. It’s not to say that what he wanted was immoral. But it is to say that Alfred had his priorities written out in a punctual list. As tempting as a new book with a hot, steaming cup of coffee...

“Taking one’s chances is like taking a bath, because sometimes you end up feeling...”
– Lemony Snicket
I’ll shoot for the moon.
I’ll definitely miss.
Now that I’ve jumped, and now that I’ve missed,
Where are my stars?
They’re all so far away.
Even stars make me lonely.
I’d rather be my moon.

Move in me, and through
I’ve found my moment
Space, time and a moment to take
Things that stop to take hold
Hold me in this
Space, time, and a moment to take
Lines move, so never stay the same
But this, here, to place as my standing stone
So I don’t forget and to hold true
Move in me, but stay

Please don’t tell me about once upon a time. I already know it’s going to end with “and they all lived happily ever after.” I’m more concerned with once upon my time. I don’t know how it’s going to end. The climax is unclear and I’m hardly sure, of whether I’m even the protagonist. I can’t close my eyes for this story. Every once in a...

Peace is my river
Love like the Rain
Hope will be a wall
Through these, none will
Find me, So I’ll love
See through me, I will fear
Take my stand
and I will, with you
