Life is ..Life is …

Life is the space between your ears,
Life is the song that no one hears,
Life is the place that only you know,
Life is the grass growing through snow,
Life is the touch of a lover's hand,
Life is a castle melting in sand,
Life is the laugh that's stuck in your throat
Life is a poem that god wrote
Life is the shiver on a warm night,
Life is like death, only not quite.

Be HappySo there's this girl you know
Her chin is high, her self-confidence low
She has a lot of brains and she knows she is smart
She knows she's smart and she's funny and has an open, free heart
But there's something you don't know about this poor funny girl
You don't know that, to her, your smile means the world.

oh my, what happened.i miss a lot of things.

i miss singing at the top of my lungs on the swings, playing in the sandbox, eating at the kids table and getting free ice cream from my uncle because he dropped mine on the floor. i miss wearing that life jacket i hated so much and i miss not wanting to jump off the edge of the dock because i can't touch the bottom of the ocean floor.

i miss mumbling my words so no one but mum could understand me and i miss flouncing around, doing nothing. i miss naptime. i miss barbies.

i miss who i was when i was younger.
yeah, thats who i miss the most.

dear little me,
be careful out there. it's a big world.

love,
the perso

LifeLife is quite simple,
but we humans insist on
complicating it.

dying stars.dear you,
I know that the days are growing longer but the nights are growing colder, and I can see the shadows beneath your eyes. your skin is blemished and no matter how still you are, I see the technicolour wheels swirling behind your too-drowsy lids, brain working overtime, lips refusing to spill words of need and doubt. your breath falters more each day, dropping slowly like rain on an empty sidewalk, and I wonder if I’m the only one who knows it’s there.
I watch you slip further down the drain.

dear you,
I long to make you believe that I understand, that I get it. I was there too. I was there in the world of afterthoughts

for life.i am a skyscraper;
a gardener; flea-beds on my back.
inside the air-o-planes
they're reaching for
oxygen masks.

it's mad, it's joy.
it's love, it's wonder.
it's blue, it's blind
and i think-
we all know,
who's in the right
and who's the wrong.

but i will sit here and keep singing,
till the whole world sings along.
and the rat-a-tap-tap
of hands holding hands
will be our marching tune.

can you imagine yesterday?
draped in paint and named tomorrow?
you are the most
beautiful thing i've ever seen-
i want to spend all
my todays with you.

there is cotton candy
inside the hills and flowerbeds
but in my heart i found
the be

i just hope you'll remember meFINE
don't write words like
'you' or 'we' or 'Devin'
because not even my
name is important to
you. and apparently
i'll forget you in time,
but oh, you're wrong
in so many ways, yet
it feels so right. left?
i always mix them up.

FINE
only talk about yourself.
only tell me stuff i know
already. only love me if
it's convenient for you--
but i'm not; i'm immoral.
assassinate me. i am an
ass, twice, i'm in (h)ate:
not in (love). or in both.
in deep shit too. though
you, on the other hand,
are in denial (i also am)

i may not be an elephant,
but i will never forget you

Life is...Sometimes I wonder: what am I?
I look at the stars and feel very small;
just a tiny consciousness.
But if I were as tall as a planet,
I would still be short in comparison to the universe.

I see a person twice my size
and I feel weak and fragile.
But if I were strong and powerful,
I would still not be invincible.

I see a painting by the hand of a genius,
and I feel inexperienced and ignorant.
But if I were the greatest artist alive,
it would not make me love what I do any more or less.

I see blood, running from the wound of another,
and I feel a chilling fear from deep within.
But if I walked this earth with bravery,
it would n

my lifePeople don't want me to be me,
so they force me to be the person they want to see.
they don't see that their effect was reversed
or that my breaking point has been traversed.

I feel as though my mind is slowly being erraticated
and my once strong body painfully mutilated.
because of my affiliations,
i have suffered through many tribulations.

I want to just lay down and die
and let my soul drift towards the sky.
but i know it's not my time quite yet,
for i still have goals that need to be met.

So until i finish my final task,
a little peace is all i ask.
i do not wish to cause any strife,
i just want you to get out of MY LIFE!!!

ShacklesMy bones are broken
but I will not rest.
Cold, tired & hopeless
you've done your best.

Endless nights
and rough afternoons.
I'll run forever.
I've gone for so many moons.

I've been crawling
bleeding
and coughing.
Towards the light
but all I hear
is mocking.

Understand
and realize I'm bound by shackles.
Open up
and put a stop to your maniacal cackles.

Give me a chance
because I've given you a clue.
Don't underestimate me
all because I love you.

Cheer UpWhat troubles you, my friend?
Just what ties you down?
Do you see the end?
As you sit and frown.

Behind you we stand,
With you all the way,
To do as we can,
We're here to stay.

The turns and tides,
Of time may stray,
But by your sides,
We'll always stay.

Through thick and thin,
Through all life's bends,
We'll stay, within,
Forever friends.

Giving It AllI don't quite know what it feels like
To try as hard as I can
To give something my everything
To become a better man

Maybe fear has held me down
Thoughts of failure kept me back
Dreams of crashing and burning
I throw aside and now attack

I attack this life with fire
With a passion and burning rage
I know it is all inside of me
But now the beast is out of its cage

It is time for something new
Something triumphant and bold
I will rise up and seize the day
Forever casting out the old

Never can I have tears of joy
Nor feel tears of sadness
Until I've poured out my all
And entered near to madness

Relinquishing boundaries in my

Don't Forget to Remember MeLeave me

Go dream of blue skies
And a better tomorrow

Go live life
To the fullest

Leave everything behind

But please

Whatever you do,
Wherever you go,

Don't forget to remember me

Smile?Smile?
Can you do that for me?
Can you laugh and let the world see
Just how beautiful you are
And how wonderful a place the world is
When you smile
Can you see it?
How glorius life becomes
When you smile?
Can you feel it?
The way the cold disappears when you smile?
So I'll ask again
Can you smile for me?
And let me know
That your happy?
Because that
Is what makes me
Smile

Let's Write About Smileslet's write about our smiles now
i'm getting tired of all this pain
let's wallow in the sunny days
let's be happy, though it may be in vain.
i'm determined to show my smiles now
even though life is caving in.
let's dry each others' tears Love,
let's stand up and try a grin.

"But it's never hurt so much dear,
This aching in my brain,
This knowledge of despair my Friend,
It's driving me insane.
I write of what I know best
The foul anger and bitter hate.
I have to let it out Friend,
Or it will surely be too late."

let us please write about the smiles now-before they quickly fade.
i'm sure it could heal us Love,
let's take the l

You don't have to be happy to read this
You don't have to be happy to smile
So ask someone
Are you happy?

Give them a hug
No matter their mood
Tell them you love them
Even if you don't

Spread the happiness
The feeling of being cared for
Spread the love
To even your worst enemies

No matter who they are
They still need to be loved

Go out there and give some hugs
Give a real smile
Say a few kind words
But mostly

Please people
Just spread the happy

Hearing "I love you" is farthest thing from nice if they don't mean it.

~sadieofthenight Mar 31, 2010

I never said it was nice. I just said it makes people happy. And by I love you I mean the friendly way, like you love your freinds, maybe not even as much as your best friends, haven't you ever seen someone do something so funny you were just like "Ha, Alexis, I love you. I can't believe you did that."
I don't mean the "I love you" while you're think "I hate your guts you negative bitch."

See? Thank you for your comment.
