to every side, there lies an opposite
to every cup empty of water, i sese a cup full of air
to every dark night, i see the begining of a lighter day to come
to every bad day at work, i see a good night of relaxing
The backlight shines bright on my smartphone tonight
It blinds me, hurts my eyes
Yet I still look to see a message waiting
To my surprise, it's my boyfriend
Texting me two hours before sunrise
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget who's got your back
Don't forget what side your on
The season of colors
created with wonders
green blades of grass
with droplets of dew
the birds are on a hunt
to feed their little ones
chirps and laughter explode
in different colors
Each day is a chance
to make it better than before
But with different challenges
the trick is to stay the course
a consistent positive path
finds you somwhat in awe
some way it inspires
Look at her, how tall she stands!
The weight of the world is sitting on her shoulders, poor thing. We hardly notice though, because she stands so tall.
Where does super honey come from?
Well of course it comes from super bees,
My brother raps to me in Korean
He swears he's the baddest, best in the game
Wants you to live so you can witness him exceed his dreams
My sister is a powerhouse
Her angelic, strong voice sends chills
Running down the hill
Pushing through the clouds
Upon the strength of my own will,
I'm on the pursuit of Happiness
Sippin coco, the Belgian kind
Stars shining upon, a summer night
Life can get you down
There is no need to frown
Fill your life with awesome people
Life is your canvas
You control how it is seen by others
Our love as bright as day
but also dark as night
the game that we play
doesn't end without a fight
but together we stand
and together we fall
hand in hand
through it all
If I ever have a son
His name would be Light
But they would call him King
I'll make him laugh
So the world could hear him giggle
One of his many names would be Simple
Life brings many trials that you have to face;
But through these trials and all that pain is something that I have learned to embrace;
Although my life has sometimes been full of negativity,
Bring me back to pleasant time
When life was simple and sublime
When hot wheels were all i needed to be happy
instead of filling up gas tanks with no money
Don't turn around
Don't look back
Only if you're going to see how far you've come
Take it from me
A girl like me
Who has been through the deepest of oceans and seas
Making mistakes
Everything is awesome
Until you reaize that it's not
The wold is ugly
With vitiation it is wrought
The sky will always rain, and the world is filled with pain
Pessimim reminds us why we must refrain
Sweat lines my dusty brow.
Heaving lungs alternate as between billows,
Each surge breaking my glassy lens.
Far off, that distant cry...
Brother against Brother in that field of daisies.
What to expect when all things get out of hand?
You turn towards the thing that has been there since you were brought to this land
All living beings, the birds, the trees
Something more incredible than our life it seems
I have no desire for your mercy
For it turns to dust on my tongue
Making me ravenously thirsty
My throat is parched
The well is dry
I will no longer
Cry my cry
I empty my chest; I have had all that I can take,
I whisper my goodbye with the last in my lungs.
I stand so still; not even a flinch,
I force myself to remain calm.
Breathing fresh air for the very first time
Arguing with siblings, whats yours is mine
Everyone asks me
If I believe in happiness
Of course I do
Everyone needs happiness
Everyone deserves it
Everything is awesome when you’re happy
You become a better person
In this day and age, celebrities and greatness are everywhere
You see their talents grace TV screens worldwide
From Lionel Messi to Taylor Swift, their presence is felt and appreciated
I think I'm a good example of diversity. While I go to school like everybody else, have friends and relationships like everyone else, I am my own individual self.
It is 6 AM
Light creeps through the taffeta curtains
My eyes flutter as I try and preserve my slumber
The age old question begins to haunt me
Do I get up or do I sleep in and not leave my bed?
A beautiful city is what I see for you, and maybe for me too. Skyscrappers as tall as my belief in you. Life is not so cruel. Doing what we love. We do not turn to rust. We will shine as the world around us turns to dust.
but then I question not only myself, but my purpose, and perspective on love and
I wonder if those were your true intentions.
I am short- no- I can fit in small spaces
I am crazy- no- I am unique
I am quiet- no- I organize my thoughts
I am human.
You are human
Everything
We
Do
