Happiness is Fragile - I am a Klutz (NEW QUOTE)

"Happiness is such a fragile thing...one who is a klutz, as I am, should never tamper with it..." - Alyssa Hellenbrand

Depression - Original Poem

Numb
Alone without being so
It is not fun
Being this way.

There is no easy
Escape
And no one can help
My Pain.

I am suffering
Deep inside my
Soul...
Where no one knows.

There is something
About my "self"
That suffers
Day in and day out.

I am a mess
My pain is worthless
I have no purpose
Alone I should be.

Depression is crushing
Damning me
Sticking me here again
In my pain.

Feeling alone
Being upset
Pushing love away
Wishing I could be better.

I find this normal.

Some Grow - Original Poem

A walk through town,
Tasting ice cream on
A beautiful day.
The place where it all started.
Distance between the two
Grows less pronounced
As the communication barrier
Is thrown to the ground
And the real feelings,
The real words from the heart
Come out and show themselves
To that one special person.
The one you want to hold the hand of,
A person you could see a close friendship
Growing into something more.
Dreams like that are possible.
They're coming true every day,
Some may
Fall down the drain,
Washed away with as little care
As last night's dinner going through
The garbage disposal.
However, some grow
And flourish beautifully
Much like the blossom of the
Finest flower in all the lands
Opens up to the beauty of
Endless possibilities.
Open yourself up
To that one possible chance
At what you hope to be love.
Take that risk and don't look back.
Forget about the pains of the past,
Don't worry about experience...
Just be yourself and hope that the other
Will appreciate that and open next to you.

Endless - Original Poem

Time, thoughts
The amount of pain you can suffer through
And still make it out alive.

People you can lose
Some that you will
And all of the tears you will shed for them.

Memories, recollections
Things no one else will ever know
And lessons you get to keep.

All of these are endless,
Everyone dies off eventually.
Just remember the endless moments,
The times you spent together,
The lessons learned,
Memories foolishly created,
Thoughts you shared with no one else...

Non other than with the one now lost.
Tears
So many tears
Time to let go now,
There's an endless amount of time still to come.

Time and Friendship Means Changes - Original Poem

The mind is always rushing around,

Never is there any completely sturdy ground

To simply stand on and know:

It's going to be okay.

Time changes things,

I hate to tell you that it's true.

Remaining friends after amazing life changes...

Well that's not so easy.

Friends, we made our vows

As we stepped forward on graduation day.

"We will always remain friends"

That was clear as night and day.

Yet as summer months rolled on by,

The friendship we once shared became sad and dry.

As I see them in public places once or twice,

They seem almost strangers,

A face I know...

A person I do not.

For over 10 years I had a best friend.

She and I spent countless memories together.

We were there for each-other

And we vowed until the end

We would need no other

Since we had each-other.

Yet here I am,

Most of summer has passed.

We are now just two people

In the scheme of life.

Time & Life - Original Poem

Time is priceless,
There is never enough
But sometimes too much.

Emotions fill most of it,
Life fills the rest.
Learn how to glide in time.

Make a difference,
Bide your time.
Enjoy living the time of your life.

You get no other
The life you have is yours.
A bad day is a waste of time.

Grow stronger from the past,
Don't stop loving you,
Believe in the future.
