I wonder if I can still make it back to you

He's the only one who has my back,so I had to get my cross tattoo

Everyday is so strange,at times I just don't know what to do

People I've known for years,and we still share conversations like we're new

But I guess that's just life,we all won't stay close forever

You might wonder if I ever doubted you..the answer is never

I just look forward to that moment when everything finally comes together

Things might suck at the moment,we just have to keep moving forward until they get better

Now that I think about it,all my poems are just open letters

To those of the unknown,and to those whose face's in my heart will be forever known 

Still trying to find a substitute for happiness,but that's just one of those things we can't duplicate or clone

My heart stays in the shadows,in the darkness alone

Worry about flying,not about how much further others have flown

Their story will never be the same as yours

Will continue to get a rise in diseases but still no increase on cures

Sometimes all you need is your mind to open up those doors

Don't place limits on yourself,that's not what life is about

Dead end's just mean maybe we're meant to take a different route

You have to really take the time to understand someone on the inside,if you ever plan to figure them out

Seeing a lot of different place..but the faces look the same

Everyone just wants to be loved,because on one wins in a broken hearted game

Stuck in a place,I guess I'm meant to be
Refusing to let anyone hold me back,I'm gonna be,everything I want to be
And you should do the same
Like a shark in the water,your ambition should be hard to tame
Always keep love in your heart,even if the whole world hates you..
People will try & tell you,your dreams won't come true..They must of forgot..They Ain't you..
Dream On..
Dream On..
The right people will never tell you, you're right when you're wrong
Sometimes when you stop trying to put everything together,that's when things start coming along
They won't love you until you're dead or gone
I guess I can never relate..
I just don't see the purpose of all the hate..

I used to pray for the day someone would save me
But I learned after all these years,that only I can save me
When you speak the truth,people will look at you like your crazy
Santa Claus never existed to me,I guess my mom was showing me honesty is the best policy ever since I was a baby
And I love her for that,
You have to remember once you give someone your heart,
You can never get it back
But I realized when it's in pieces it's easier to share
Now a days,peoples opinions start to mean less,I only acknowledge the ones who show me they care
And I'm always praying the end is near,We have millions around the world..suffering because murder,rape & pain is all they hear
I always think about the ones who don't have it as easy as me
The more I learn about the truth of the world,the more I understand why some pretend not to see..
War is stupid,
Instead of building weapons,we should be building artificial cupids
Because love will always conquer all,
Hate & destruction will just make us all fall
Wishing people could learn how to help each other..
Sometimes life only gives you one chance..you might not get another..

Sad to say..but it's usually true..
People will have no problem talking about your business
Before even taking any time of day.. getting to know you..
But let them talk..the real ones will stay..the rest will walk..
Is there a certain prayer I should say? Is there an amount of love I need to give away?
I just don't want to go knowing I haven't helped the ones behind me
I always search for you..even if I never find me
We probably won't change the world in one day..
But I think the important part is we're thinking of saving it some day..

Tears In The Rain..

picture source

We must all be in different worlds,There's no way it's all be the same
Trying to balance on the thin line between happiness & pain
What last, never comes easy,And things that come easy never last
The only way to build a brighter future,is to let go of the darkness, of the past
How do you really do that..is a question I really never learned how to ask
It's like everyday is Halloween around here,nobody is fucking real..everyone is hiding behind some kind of mask
I guess everyone just wants to 'fit in',but what's the point if you can never show who you truly are within
They warn us of what not to do,but still everyday we choose to sin
I guess somewhere deep inside us,we know God will overcome all,& he will always win
And it seems everybody back home wants me to be with them,if only I had a clone or a twin
But somehow I know that wouldn't be enough
Always remember..without 'us' there can be no tr'us't
So I hope you trust me
The words 'I love you' don't me a thing,if you can't show me,you love me
They say a picture says a thousand words..so I wonder what my poems say
I know they will mean something to someone,well eventually one day

It's like music is my only escape,the only chance I can get away
Who would've thought I would of made it to England anyway
Like is full of surprises
One moment everything is falling apart,the next somehow everything rises
We all need hope during any crisis
They say the best things in life are free,but why does love feel like it comes with all these prices
The price of letting go,the price of holding on
The joy of birth,the sorrow of saying bye to someone who is forever gone
It's weird to say,but hopefully I won't have to bury any of my little brothers or my mom
Because without them,I'm not sure if I would've made it this long

Everything happens for a reason,but that reason isn't always clear
I always tell myself,I won't fall in love,I'll learn how not to care
But it's like our hearts have a mind of their own,they fall for the heartbeat they want to hear

A Lot of it is pointless,like 'Tears in the Rain'
Sometimes it's not about far you have to go,but how far you came
Don't forget they don't know your story,only your name
You will always be more special than them,There's no way you're the same

"I have no recollection
Of the life I had without her
I let it slip away, away, away
It's so sad it had to be this
I forgot the good things about her
I let it slip away, away, away"

The Ride

picture source

When life takes you on the ride,you just have to remember to hold on
And for every sad moment,there is a sad song
I hope all the things I do right will always out number the ones I do wrong
We all are just searching..searching for that place we truly belong
'So Far So Gone',I'm not sure how I long I will be gone
It might feel like forever but sometimes the greatest achievements take long
My mind is so clouded,I think I just need a couple more puffs to finish the rest of this bong
No matter how close we may be,we might never ever get along
Even in your darkest moments,you just have to remember the light in your heart is strong

I don't know what to do,I don't know what to say
Is it normal to just watch the things you care about the most, just slowly slip away?
But then again..what is truly normal anyway
Even if my actions don't show it,I truly hope all of you are okay
You might not understand,but I woke up & realized everything had to change one day
Now I don't know if it's safe to go back
Who cared about who more?Was anyone even keeping track
When I gave them my heart,they acted like they didn't know how to react
The people who truly cared used to be so clear,now the vision is all black
And so is my heart,but I still feel a piece of the old me intact
You could have everything in the world,but people will still make up something you lack
So always believe in yourself,alot of us just don't know how to act
But then again,actors are all I see
I wonder if people would be themselves if they didn't have anyone else around to copy
All these stolen hearts & minds,but no one cares about that robbery
I use to cry for you..now I don't even sob for me

And this is just 'The Ride',I can't wait till its over
I pray for the ones with the need to always be drunk or high,with the hate to be sober
But I can't blame them,when life is like this
It seems like most of the time,it's either a hit or miss
And everyone just wants to have sex or kiss
They barely even know each other,but as they say ..'Ignorance is bliss'

My thoughts are never the same
Look how far we came
No matter the distance,we can still remember the pain
I just hope one of us make it out of this ride called life.. sane

The Town

picture source

The madness,the strain, from trying to do it all alone
The pain,
The countless sunny days stolen by the rain
The hurricane,you're the storm that destroyed everything
The plane,that carried our future,that I guess didn't mean anything
The brain,that didn't think..how far I would drown
The sink,that just sends everything spiraling down
The frown,that I now permanently wear
The crown,you deserve for being that heartless with not one care

The thoughts,I can't escape
The cost,for not playing it safe
The love,I now hate
The beloved,who never figured out it was all fake
The change,that they promise wont happen
The strange,way things feels when you start to feel an unwelcoming distraction

The cries may seem silent,but they are the loudest thing to me
They said things would get better,but this couldn't be what they were talking about..no it couldn't be
Why do I allow all  this darkness to manifest in me
I've learned so well to pretend
And they will all believe I'm happy until the end
Maybe I should stop writing,maybe I shouldn't write again
But I'm hurting for you so,you're not hurting alone my friend
I can't even remember when I began to be like this,no I can't remember when

Maybe I should get help..but I feel love is the only cure
The only problem is...I'm not too sure if I believe in love anymore

Professional

I'm telling you, I'm telling you
You don't understand
Everyday, Everyday, I say I'm going to change
But life never goes as planned
One second I want to fly
The next I just want to land

("It's ideal..you need someone to tell you how to feel
and you think your happiness is real,there is so much more the world has to revel")

This beat is unique,
blocking out everyone,does that mean I getting stronger or does it show that I'm weak
I know I can do so much more in life,I still haven't reached my peak
'Kiss Land' by The Weeknd,he loves us so much,he made his album leak
Now I just want silence,only the words from my poems will speak
Turning my back on everything I used to seek
Nothing in this life is promised,There is nothing for us to keep
I'm constantly dreaming while I'm awake,I don't even need to sleep

("Because everything you'll been through has made you stronger
And everyday you learn about yourself
and nothing will be played out like it's suppose too")

What will my final answer be?
If I keep changing the lock on my heart,it won't matter who has the key
Sometimes I'm not even sure if I believe in me
But I still believe in God,even he though he might be something I never see
Life is just life,in the end does it really matter
The real me would rather be anti-social and avoid all the chatter
In a world where we are forced to fit in
In a world where at a young age,we are programmed to want to win
So what if now I want to lose,what if I want to throw everything away,and losing if what I choose
They say with time all things will heal,but my heart still has this black bruise and it's preventing me from believing anything you say to me is real

Hate it when people ask me what's wrong or if I'm okay
Maybe if they read my poems,they will understand that only here is where I feel safe to say everything I need to say
The clouds in your world might be blue,but it mine they are always gray
But I wouldn't want them any other way
Some of us have to pay for the mistakes the other people refuse to pay
The sadness that can't be erased,the pursuit of happiness I refuse to chase
Everyday you continue to lie to yourself,is just another day you choose to waste
So accept the truth,and do things at your own pace
