You Belong To The World

picture source

Happiness has been so confused
With what it should be vs what we want it to be
I don't know who to blame
I know I want love
But nowadays love isn't the same
Look how far I came
It's okay to cry in the rain
Learned it doesn't help,trying to cover up the pain
Be weird,be different...it's always better than trying to be like everyone else,so plain
I wonder how you feel now,when you come across my name
Did I destroy,everything I took my time to build
That emptiness inside our hearts...will they ever be filled
Wearing this peace sign on my arm,I hope that's something that's never killed
Life is just a race against time
And eventually finding whatever it is we're meant to find
Learning how to leave all the negative vibes behind
You belong to the world.That's a true statement..but it isn't in my mind

Holding on for so long.when will I finally let go
There's some things I want to find out,that I probably shouldn't know
Why when things are going bad,everything feels so slow
But when your in Ecstasy.nothing ever last
Is it fair to give us another chance
Allow our hearts to tango,until they both refuse to dance
You would be the queen of this colony,if we were ants
So sting me,sting me,you belong to the world,now I understand why you cant be with me

When the moon appears,& the sun is gone
It's like I'm suddenly hit,with everything I've ever done wrong
I guess I'd just travel around the world,until I find where I belong
Hopefully I find that place soon
The world gets more crowded day by day,Feels like love is running out of room
And it's going to be xo until the end,for so long music has been my only friend
And this writing & this pen,waiting for one,who can decode these misleading messages I sometimes always send
Waiting for the end,but what then
I keep waiting for the end..but I don't know what then

Your belong to this world,or should the world belong to you
Your heart is so pure,your soul is so true
Name one thing,anything,and that's something we'll promise to do
It's like so many people hurt others without having a clue
But I won't have any of them hurt you
So do we belong to the world,or do we belong to each other
We set each other free,as a test to see if we can find other
But deep down inside,we know there's no greater lover
I hope you can be you,and you can be free
Even if that means,belonging to the world,instead of belonging to me

3 Wishes

I believe we are all here for a reason
People come & go,life just continues to change with the seasons
No looking back,that's not the way to go
The spotlight isn't always so nice,I'd prefer to sit back & chill on the low
Why do we hold on to things we should have let go
Maybe that's because deep down inside,we don't really know
And the feeling of hope is so nice,we're just secretly waiting for it to grow
At night everything seems so calm,sometimes I drift away and picture you in my arm
Then I wake up & your not there,sometimes I feel along the journey of life, I forgot how to care
They say it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission
That's probably why I always choose my own route & never listen
You have to make your own way,don't just follow the footsteps
I just write these poems in hope that at least one connects
Not afraid to fail,I'm not scared of the fall
I just want love,I don't need it all

Sometimes I sit and wonder if wishes come true
Then I wished for a moment with only me & you
At a place where I'm kind hard to reach
'How to love',is more of something you have to learn,you can't really teach
Had a bad lesson or two
But I know somehow all these dead ends will eventually lead me back to you
So I'm driving with my lights off,just driving away
I know it's not my time to go yet,so I know everything will be okay
You can't force things,gotta allow them to just happen
Looking back to day I graduated boot camp,how I never thought that would happen
But that just shows,you can never give up
Because when things get hard,that's when God gets up

What else can I say..Many might wonder why I went away
Let's just say..a heavy heart is hard to carry, and everybody's needs just keep getting in the way
I always put their needs first,and mine last
But I have to think smarter,and learn from the past
Time waiting for no one,sometimes you don't even have to talk,just get out there and show them
People will always say you can't and you won't
How to live your life,like what to do & don't
But we all have one life to live
So take only what you need to take,and give all you can give
They say never have regrets,but I think regrets are fine
Just don't give up on yourself,don't leave your future behind
And I only used one wish,so I'll give my last two to you
Just promise me before I do,that you'll go out there & grab life by the horns and do all
That you wish to do~

Someone Like You

picture source

Some like you is hard to find,your on my mind,like all the time
I asked God to show me a sign,I know I should move on,but I keep falling behind
Can you really blame me,none of these new girls even phase me
It's been a while now,some must think I'm crazy
But that's more than fine,and you're more than fine
We never went fishing,but you caught me on your line
Holding a place in my heart,even though its kinda been broken apart
But nothings perfect,and we sometimes call the biggest disasters art
I'm ready to play my part,if you're ready to play yours
Rather save myself for someone special instead of messing with this hoes
Your so short,you had to kiss me on your toes
And that's as real as it goes
They think they do..but no one really knows

Give anything to hold your hand,You have to admit when you've messed up
that's part of being a man
We even wrote our name in the sand
And I don't think it ever washed away
Now I told you how I felt,and you don't know what to say
But it's okay
I'm just happy I get to talk to you..I wouldn't want to start my day..any other way

What's life without love
That might be the ultimate drug
Because that's the only thing you can't buy
But it's one of the things that can give you the greatest high
And it can feel like death when they decide to say goodbye
Could make you so happy,you can cry
Or drive you so low,that you're ready to die
Someone like,Someone like you
It will be worth all the time in the world just to have someone like you...

Alone

picture source

Times running..it's always on the run

Is it time to work hard,or that moment to just chill out & have fun

What's done is done, and what hasn't done..needs to be done

Never stop chasing your dreams,even after you've convinced everyone around you that you won

Always shine like the sun,but always be there for the dark times like the moon

It's been almost two years now,I keep promising my family that I'll be home soon

But being in the military,and now living in the UK..it just seems like time is always on the run

She just keeps getting away

Time just keeps running away..

Everyone wants to talk,sometimes they just don't know what to talk about

If you see someone struggling why not just help them out

Because you'll eventually need some assistance too

And I believe in karma, I really believe whatever you do to a person,will soon come back to you

So I loved her with everything,anything she named she would have

Another girl soon returned the favor,but she's not here..so much for the karma I thought I had

Now all these guys are calling girls 'bad', truth is..I just want a good girl..someone please assure me I'm not mad

Walking down this road alone,because sometimes you have to figure out whats right & wrong for you

Grab a paper & pen and really write down the things you want to do

Then post them on your fridge or your wall..And promise to at least check off half the list,if you cant do it all

No step is too small,even if your moving from a walk to a crawl

Just know one day..you will stand tall

And always remember to stand back up,after every time you fall

This song is called 'Alone' so I'm writing it all alone

Now I barely look at my phone when I'm at home..

Realized that sometimes it's best to just be in your own zone

And focus on the things you like to do

To me that's watching Homeland,Breaking Bad or Dexter..or simply just writing to you

I just write what I feel,I just write what flows through my mind

I promise you its 100% true at least 99% of the time

What are you trying to find?I hope time has been kind

To you & your family,just know your never alone

Home is where the heart is..so I hope you find home

Not In Love

picture source

We were lovers..now we can't be friends
We're all okay..why do we all pretend
Whats so wrong with being wrong
Whats so right about be right
We see things the way we want to see them..so truly it's up to whatever we like
Perception is key..And I perceive that is should be you & me
Or whatever, I just want everyone to be free
Free from all the stereotypes & judgement
The worse feeling anyone can have, is that no one will ever love them
I've felt that way before,so I'm sharing so you can know your not alone
There will be a light at the end of the tunnel..A light is always shown
Trying to know the unknown
Trying to be that plant who the other seeds said would never grow
Trying to see whats never shown
We will make it..even if we have to make it on our own

And Youhurtsowell,don't act like you couldn't tell
I wanted to say hello,but I know it will just lead to farewell
I must be under some kind of spell
Or some curse from hell
I try not to be like all the other guys..I try not to sleep with every other girl
But I live in an environment where they say 'You have to do things while you can when your young,so go out & chase girls'
Some say live for the moment,just live for today
Others say prepare for the future,and the future will be okay
But I guess we just need to find a balance of this thing called life
They say you only live once,but if you live it right,once is alright

The Game Of Love

picture source

June 1st..
And I'm in my room
It's Saturday night..my weekend always goes by too soon
Instead of getting drunk & partying, I thought I'd stay in my room and write to you
It's been a while since we've spoken..yes this is true
I don't know what is..or how come this always happens
Life is bitter..so I guess sometimes we need a sweet distraction
But you mean alot to me..I hope you know this
I've given my time to so many..but maybe it's time I give myself some focus
Learning how to live without something..and being so far away
In this 'game of love' be careful,because the things you hold inside will continue to eat away
Kinda like a cancer..your health will slowly decay
When I was ready,you weren't..and when you were ready..I wasn't
I hate this game we play..

I'm thinking of getting a couple of tattoos,nothing too crazy just a couple things I like
If only I could go back in time..when we had all those fights..I would of told you..'you were right'
Even though you were wrong,I just want peace..why cant life & I just get along..
And why can't you just tag along..I'm looking for the most perfect words..to write you the greatest love song
Maybe get a small tat of your name on my arm..then show my mom..man wouldn't that be an alarm..lol
But really though..You still cross my mind like everyday
Yeah I want to say something..but nothing in my head makes sense to say
So instead I continue to write down these random thoughts
In hope..maybe one day you will stumble upon them..and feel the same way
I guess no one ever wins in 'The Game of Love' anyway...

Don't know what I'll do the day your married..and then I realize everything is over
No words we say..can ever be enough closure
I'll love you until we're ghost..
I think I love my alter-ego the most..
To 'The Game of Love' how about a toast..
May you always find happiness..
And your angels always stay close..
-Ghost

Those days when you don't feel like saying anything to anyone
When you're so on edge,it's a good thing you don't own a gun
Sometimes I wonder how different he would've been if his dad was there for his son
And I look so forward to having one,so I hope a new cycle has begun
The sting might not hurt you,but the after effects might stun
The world is filled so many things & people..I just need one
I tried running...but realized I'm the only thing I really running from
I'm feeling like I'm the only moon,surrounded by a million suns
The lights killing me..I just want to fade away
Hate when people ask if I'm okay
Life's a game..sometimes I just don't feel like its a game I like to play
I'm just saying what I truly feel,most of the time people can't handle what's real
Music saved me, that's probably why I'm still here
I wonder if 'love' or 'hate' will be the last words I hear
I wonder if my last vision..would be a 'smile' or a 'tear'
How much do people really care
Showing their true feelings,is something they fear
But I'll walk the path alone
Sometimes I just want to never turn on my phone
And erase my facebook & twitter
Still haunted by old memories when I was with her
No love lost..No love found
Burn me to ashes..just never bury me underground
Feeling like a phoenix..please don't shoot me down..
