Defeat
It hurt to admit,
but my body would not let me continue-
I had to quit.
I wheezed through the running-
I am strong,
my lungs are weak.
I never had that feeling before,
not the feeling of defeat-
the others,
with the stomach turned
voices fading to blackness
I guess I was not meant to have this.
I did not cry,
though, I was more than embarassed
I just needed someone to believe
"Hey wait, you got this."
Just goes to show
sometimes, the outsiders know me better
I just grit teeth and grin.

1,000 thoughts running through my mind
and now I think it is finally time
to explore an endeavor thought of when young
it seems to my path I have finally come
I now realize which direction I must take
to prove myself on the way to destiny
to conquer my fate
I am a little scared
it tends to be nerve wracking
for whatever is coming
that knowledge I am lacking
though I have faith
I believe in God
in this outcome
he will not do me wrong.

I seem to notice
the little things,
the things that really could be nothing.
or are they something?
to continue to ponder, let my mind wander
I feed off the thrill
of not knowing, the will-
power I have the strength inside
my emotions I can...not easily hide
I try not to smile, to keep the giggle behind
my blue eyes,
they lock away hurt, they show I once loved
through them my soul is screaming out
keep the demons away, yet they want to play
a battle of wits vs wisdom
alone, yet wanting him
who? the one
sent from above, my twin flame

So lost in my ways,
the path is foggy.
I am searching through,
pushing forward.
I am almost their,
I can feel it.
Beating this demon,
means life or death.
I can do it,
I will,
no hesitating,
my fate is at stake.

Time,
neverending,
never ceases,
on-going,
while the world falls to pieces.

A lil sum sum
So much on my mind you see,
I can make time my friend
or let it become my enemy.
With time on my side
I find a sense of pride
Your harsh judgements will not cause me to hide.
They will only push me harder,
those thoughts meant to harm.
What I know I will not barter
even with evils cleverness and charm.
I will come out on top
although, now, I appear to be near the bottom.
For who prevails for the greater good
which should be most commonly thought of
that we should not teach with hate
but strive to share unconditional love.

Blackout II
I really did it this time
hit someone I loved in the face,
even broke someones nose.
Why I acted this way?
Alcohol only knows.

The Blackout
Hidden, hurt feelings
trying to run and hide
now, its time
to either fight or cry
keeping the pain lost inside.

OneMoment Lost (recovering)
One Moment Lost...
I will never get it back,
it came and went,
Flash!
Right before our eyes,
like maybe it was a dream?
Sigh.
But it sticks in my mind,
ever so vividly.
Do you even know what it did to me?
To have the one chance
that I fought for
not so timidly,
and turn it away,
I thought it was meant to be.
The next day in the cell,
that is when I knew,
that the kiss you offered me,
what I did not do,
is the one moment I...

Know You
I wish I knew you,
I wish you knew me,
not the me you have seen.
The me that is confused,
lost,
in a haze.
Although,
that is the "me" I saw from you
all in a daze.
You probably could not remember
when you last saw yourself,
your true-self,
your soul.
When was the last time
you felt your heart hit?
When you thought to yourself,
This is it!
The one you have needed,
the one to escape,
to reach your destiny,

The Beginning
This is to the beginning,
something new.
With someone,
or alone.
The path chosen,
meant to take.
We are on our own way,
a spiritual destiny,
karmas fate.
