Step back

for every glass of water we drink
A child is thirsty
For every game we buy
a woman is on the game to survive
For every phone we use
A man slaves in a factory on a tenth of the minimum wage
for every luxury top we buy
Small children labour in the fields to harvest the raw materials
I'm not saying I'm perfect
I'm so far from it
All I say is try to step back
every once in a while
Look at all we have and how less some others do
Would it really make a difference
If we were charitable once in a while
Would we really suffer?
We could help a life
Help a family
We could even save a life
surely thats got to worth more
than all the materialistic things in the world
If the spirit of love and giving isn't above all then what hope do we really have..?

Trust

I want to trust you
I want to let you in
Its not my fault
I just don't know how
I've built a wall for so long
Made everyone believe I was so strong
Seems i don't need anyone
Fine on my own after all
If only they knew the truth
Of how my heart is crippled
How i can't say what i feel
makes sense inside my head,
but i'm not able to speak it aloud
Nothing seems to work my way
Can't find the one
Going to end up alone
When I climb i fall
when I scream nobody listens
when I run I don't get far
somebody needs to realize the strong girl needs someone after all...

Miss you

I miss u each day
I miss your laugh the way you smiled, the things you said
the days go on but without you they seem a waste
occasions come and go, each one you miss is not the same
time slips by, life keeps moving on
Wish it would stand still until your return
If only i could have you near me all the time
I need you to complete me
I need you to see the world in a better light
I need you to be happy
i need you to smile
i need you to breath
I need you to live..

A smile can brighten somebody's day
An act of kindness can give somebody the hope they needed
A selfless gesture can save a soul
A word of positivity can go a long way
A belief in someones dream can increase potential

If we all done our bit even a smile a day, the world would be a better place.. :)

Salvation

why is everybody you meet so hollow
whats happened to sincerity
whats happened to meaning
can't seem to find a being deeper than its surface
have we killed all the passion after all
have we murdered all the inspiration with our wars
why do i feel like the only one with a deeper meaning
with a beating heart
with sorrow and pain for the suffering of this world
with love and longing for the beauty of the world
with a curiosity and thirst for knowledge
with a burning passion to better humanity
I hope and pray i find someone like me
so I know i'm not the only one
so I know there is some salvation after all..

Tools

the heart beats but in a thousand rhythms
the voice sings but in a million tunes
the mind believes but in different ways
the body acts but according to hundreds of commands

we all have the same tools
how we use them is what defines who we are, what we do, and how we lived..

Words

words are strong
words are stronger than your kicks and punches
which will wound me then leave,
but the words you say wound the heart and never go away
violence wins sprints but words will win marathons
a letter, a punch, a word, a fist
one superficial the other profound
which one is which i need not say
words are daggers without the blade, yet they cut much deeper
words are cuts without the knife yet bleed much longer
words are bruises to the heart that never heal...

why..

why is it everyone leaves you when things get rough
why is it nobody listens when your in so much pain
why is it no one looks when your falling apart
why is it no one questions the fake smiles
why is it no one asks if your ok and just accepts your "fine"
are these people really friends after all
are these people a real family after all
makes you question
makes you wonder
why is it they don't seem to care
for if the tables turned
and they were in despair
i'd reach out and ease their pain
isn't that what we should do..?
