Then blow out the candle
as it may be your last
The days pass
burnt string in melted wax stays
silent and somber
the dancing flame
never crosses your mind
until
you’re...
I may be seen from afar,
I see you from the distance,
wondering whether you remember me,
The silence would be broken,
between us, the walls that we have built,
hope you know that...
In the gentle sway of weeping willows,
Their branches dance like soft, green pillows.
With leaves that whisper secrets low,
They cradle dreams where rivers flow.
Beneath...
The freedom that is within our reach
Seems so far away
It is near us but grasping it
Can easily escape
Sometimes we find ourselves
Trapped inside this “shell”
That holds...
Last night while I lay thinking here,
"what ifs" crawled inside my ear.
Prancing and partying all night long,
singing their same old, "what if" song.
What if I grow up and feel alone?
What...
Brentwood wasn’t just where I lived
It was everything
Long summers in my backyard
Socks dirty from playing in the dirt
Playing tag and going on adventures with my cousins
My...
I miss your pretty voice,
Pretty lips, pretty face,
And pretty hips.
It circles back,
To the day we first met.
To the day I couldn’t get out of my bed.
I must be out of...
Longing for the truth
whether or not it destroys us.
Why have we been deceived by the people around us?
Were we lied to, manipulated, or hurt by people we care about,
by people who we thought...
We all long for it
It’s practically in the human species DNA
From European colonization in South America to the current wars in the Middle East
To the monopolies of the 20th and upcoming philanthropists...
The legs give out easily now
It feels like I could fall at any moment
The brain cannot keep up with what the mouth wants to say anymore
It sucks trying to get a statement across now
Both...
Oh Brentwood, where the sun glows
With birds chirping where the warm winds blow.
The sound of Latin music fills your ears,
Lyrics that’ll stick with you for years.
Bam! There’s...
Butterflies represent the change,
deeply within our inner selves.
At some point we were in
our own chrysalis,
afraid of the outside world,
of not knowing what lies...
