My confidence is like the tide
It rises to challenge the earth itself
It subsides revealing all my insecurities
Never has it remained constant for a second
It sways as if controlled by an outside force
Like waves submitting to the will of the moon
My confidence is like the tide
I find myself clinging to the life raft of hope, maybe it's my own will to survive
Or a primal, instinctual motivation of self-preservation to which I must abide
Often I am lost in the sea of lies without a moral compass for a guide
I push my own thoughts and emotions to the side
Is it enough to just give up and say that I tried
My confidence is like the ti
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
~William Ernest Henley
It dosen't matter who my parents are
My mother works in realistate
My father is a cook
I changed my career six times
Seen and heard things unimaginable
My fate is in my own two bare hands
If I fail or succeed relies solely on me
I ride the waves of destiny
Captain of my life
I set sail on the winds of my hope
I see promise on the horizon
My future will not wait
I will persue relentlessly

I Left My Heart In The Desert
I left my heart in the desert
I left my heart under the sun
I believed it was time to move on
I was ready for a new chapter
I was ready for a fresh start
And all that was holding me back was my heart
Well my heart followed me home
The desert night was too cold
And now my heart has a story it wishes to be told
You don't have to change who you are to finally move on
You just have to start fighting for what you believe in
And enjoy who you are so that you can be happy once again

A walk through the Graveyard
A rolling slate of fog cascaded its way between the gravestones. It caused the skies to reside behind the tide of ominous, gray water-light enough to hang itself above the soil. Near an unmarked gravestone, someone sat alone. Her back to the grave, as should gaze upon the final resting place. The young girl with almost perfect white hair had just a touch of silver resting on her shoulder. She wanted to cry but could not recall why. She seemed far too young to be laid to rest but in truth, within the house of death, all are a welcomed guest. She felt weak, yet strode to her feet, and walked along the hallowed rows of the reapers keep. Some

I tell you
My dreams
Are possible
One in a billion

There will be blood
There will be sweat
There will be tears
And there will be sleepless nights

If you can create the unnatural
If you can obtain the impossible
If you can achieve the unmistakable
Then all dreams are possible
There are times when
You are alone
Moments when
You realize the person you were
Is not who you are now
Back then
Things may have seemed
Like a simple dream
Now the uncertain future
Looms over
The simplest comforts
Now make the biggest empact
Just a smile
Or a kind hello
Distracts you from the unknown
These acts of kindness
Reminds you
Even in the darkness
A bright future
Is just around the corner
Just trying to figure out what you're worth?
You're worth more than the stars in the sky
Worth more than every ounce of gold
Worth every tear the world has cried
Worth my every ton of love in my heart
Worth every second of air made by the trees
You were blessed to move, to think, to live, to love, to have joy, and were given free will to chose you're own path
You are worth every thought in my mind
You are worth every inch of space
You are worth every mess up
You are worth a million second chances
You are worth loving,forgiving, liking, and seeing
You are worth every word written in a book
You are worth all the days of you're
Your mind is like a one sided mirror
It only reflects the past and whats their
It never want to show the other side of life
It never wants to share
You don't like the word hope
You don't feel loved
What do I have to do in order to show you
Your life doesn't always have to be blue
I can see the devil has your mind in his hands
He toys with the strings
You can only see what's in front you
You don't see what I see
You believe his lies are true
You are important
You are beautiful
You are one in a million
You a loved more than a billion
You don't have to live the way you do
You can never fall so far that you can't get back up
You can alway
Ever felt abandoned
Ever felt alone on an island
Ever felt misguided in the woods
Ever felt crushed by weight of the world
Ever felt pain from a blade
Ever lose sight of hope
Ever cry where no one can see
Forgive me If I get religious now and your heart isn't ready
Alright hold steady
I see pain I see healing
I see God I see the devil
I see love I see Evol
We see people tortured and scared by others hate
We back away when someone snaps when you get to close
But I think that the time someone needs you the most
I see real people get emotional
I write stories, not always fictional
Lets be a light in the dark
Turn ever into never no
When I read your words my heart soared to the sky
I thought to myself
I have to reply
As if this was a Shakespearean play
We communicate through poetry
Like the moon moves the sea
Your poetry moves me
I am so comfortable with my rhymes
That sometimes
I forget that stanzas can combine
Without rhyme
We can share inspiration
We can share anticipation
We can share hope and faith
We can share days past the eighth
Now I say goodbye
Now I wait for a reply
