Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self."

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

I hated poetry until someone showed me how to appreciate it. He told me to see poetry as a puzzle. Its up to the reader to decipher the code, or the words, based on everything they know about life and emotions.

A smile is a light
in the window of the soul
that indicates
that the heart is home

I like the way you call me with different names, I like how you smileat me at random times, I like how you stare at me when I'm doing something, I like the fact that you're not the type of boy I would be falling for, but I just fell for you

The first time you held my hand in yours, that is when I knew. I knew that your hand was the missing puzzle piece in this puzzle that I've never seemed to complete.

hope is wishing something would happen.
faith is believing something will happen.
courage is making something happen.

Eventually all the pieces will fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason.

There will come a time in your life when you become absolutely infatuated with a single soul. For this person, you’d do anything and not think twice about it, but when asked why, you have no answer. You’ll try your whole life to understand how a single person can affect you as much as they do, but you’ll never find out. And no matter how badly it hurts or how badly you hate it, you’ll love this person for the rest of your life without regret

I think life is simpler than we tend to think. We look for answers and more answers. But there are no answers. Things happen in life, good things and bad. People say, ‘why did it happen to me?’ Well, why not? Some people win the lottery, and others die in a car crash. it happens, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Everyone is fighting their own battle. To be free from their past. To live in their present. And to create their future. So have heart.

What are words
If you really don’t mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they’re only for good times
Then it’s on
When it’s love
Yeah you see them as lover’s words
They never go away
They live on even when we’re gone

I was, but then I realized I was holding on to something that didn’t exist anymore. That the person I missed didn’t exist anymore. People change. The things we like and and dislike change. And we can wish they wouldn’t all day long, but that never works.

Together forever, never apart. Maybe in distance, but never in heart.

New people are only new for a day.

After that, they're just people.

Who'll excite you, disappoint you, scare you a little bit.

Never say goodbye because saying goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting - Peter pan

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.

How can I forget you, when you gave me so much to remember

Party hard, make mistakes, laugh endlessly.
Do things youre afraid to do.
After all, youre only young once. 

live
laugh
love

Think of happy things and your heart will fly on wings - Peter Pan

It's amazing what one person can do. Some people build you up just to bend & break you. Some people bring out parts of you that you had no clue existed. All throughout life we meet people & every single one of them brings something to us, gives us some sort of purpose. We come across people that will hurt us so incredibly much that it seems unbearable to go on with our lives, but the truth is ; We can overcome anything we want to if we believe in it enough, if we have faith in ourselves, in who we are. The most important thing in life is to find yourself, know who you are at all times & stand by that for the rest of your life. No one has the right to tell you who you are or try & control your life cause it's yours. Your life is meant to be lived by no one else but yourself. We sometimes let people get the best of us, destroy us & change our opinions on what we believe is true. Only you can know what's right for yourself, you have the power, you make the choices & you learn. Each experience we go through in life is a lesson to be learned. We all make mistakes, why is that so hard for some to understand? No one should be judged by the mistakes they have made. It's past news. Everything happens for a reason, & without the hard times, how would we ever realize our true strength? It's only through a time of suffering when we realize how strong we truly are inside, when we realize how much we can actually put up with & deal with before we eventually break..
