Break Free - Original Poem

Life is no simple matter
Once the drama is unleashed.
There is no easy escape,
Once the drama is set down.

Yet, there is always hope,
A ray of sunlight on the horizon.

Walk towards that horizon,
And you will surely see,
There is hope in this life still,
If simply you break free.

Life - Original Poem

Life is a tangled web,
Ever-changing under the moon's glow,
Relentless as the sunbeams surround it.

Nothing stays the same for long,
This is not necessarily a negative thing,
Though some may view it as such.

Life brings new challenges our way,
Events to better us and help us learn,
Even when learning is painful.

Embrace the variations in earth's ways,
Let your mind be at peace with what has been done,
Set your heart on a bright star ahead.

Just don't fall apart when you learn,
A star we see is a star that has died,
Yet the beauty is there.

One negative leads to years of a positive,
In regards to the dead star in your life,
But don't forget that learning is key.

Smile through the pain,
Find humor through the sorrows,
Respect all that becomes your

Life.

Sorry for the Wait

It has been quite a while since I have created any new work, and most of my recent attempts have not really been successful. I give my readers a solemn swear that by October 6th of this year I will have at least one deep poem or short story posted on here. It will be new, it will be about my life currently, and it will hopefully rock your socks off. Excuse the silly reference, that is my current awkward state of mind.
I look forward to seeing all of you soon!

My Personal Night's Quote

What is an Opinion? - Original Writing

An opinion is a curious thing. When one asks for your opinion, there may be more than just one simple answer floating around in the jumble of the mind. Yet there is only one to say; it is expected of you. So, with that said, when the opinion is actually blurted out...whose opinion is it? Society has created our opinions, formed us into its game of confusion and lies. Deception is all around us; very rarely is the truth spotted. The opinion is compromised of how, when, and where we were raised. An opinion from the Middle East is likely different from an opinion in the States. The issue of what an opinion really is, well, it’s no simple answer. Nor is an opinion ever really a simple answer. Next time your opinion is asked, take a moment to really ponder the situation at hand. See if, just maybe, you can figure out what your real opinion is meant to be.

The One Known As "Me" - Original Poem

What’s really me?

People around me seem to have a grasp

At who they really are on the inside.

Yet, when I try to imagine who I am...

I am lost.

There is no “me”

In the kind of way others can find themselves.

Is it because I have forgotten who I am?

Lost within all of the walls I have built up

To protect myself from the reality?

Or, did I in fact...

Never really know what makes me...

Me?
