I will never stop being amazed at how music brings people together. Maybe not all of those people will be in your life forever but they are/were there for a reason… whether you know it now or not.

// These days…//

I spend most of my time trying to catch my breath… like there’s not enough air… not enough of what I need in this place. Maybe it’s because I have been running around nonstop these past few months (literally and figuratively). Maybe it’s because this place has become too small… could it be that I am outgrowing this place I have called home for so long?

Wait… that’s a good thing, right?… It should be easy, right?… Not necessarily, no. On one hand, I am so blessed to be in a place where I know I am growing both as a person and in my faith (I guess those go hand in hand)… but on the other hand, I can’t help sometimes wishing things were different… how they used to be.

// Memories//

The sound of your voice
Echoes in my mind
Like a sweet song
I will never forget.

The trace of your touch
Lingers all around me
Like a gentle breeze
I will always know.

The pain in your eyes
Haunts me to the soul
Like a tragically beautiful ending
To a story all our own. 

// Idk…//

I don’t know why
I am the way I am.
I just know
I Am.

// Dear Guy,//

You were standing outside
As I walked past…
And you told me
I was beautiful.

You took me by surprise.
And when I looked
Into your eyes,
I knew you meant it.

No hidden motive.
No expectation
Of my reaction.
Just a simple compliment.

You don’t know me.
Nor do I know you.
But in that moment
We were no longer strangers.

You were standing outside
As I walked past…
And you told me
I was beautiful.

You’ll never know
How much that meant
To me.

Thank you.

// Dear you,//

I don’t know you very well
Just enough to say hello
And then go our separate ways

But how I wish I knew you
Knew the story behind that smile
We would be great friends

I just know it.

// Holding My Breath//

Every breath is a bomb
Though not meant to hurt me
Driving me in every direction
I’m left running for my life

Each one leaves me more scared
Of the writhing pain to come
When I can no longer suppress
The one inside of me

I’ll hold my breath
Until I am alone
I’ll find the strength
To spare the ones I love

My breath is a bomb
Though not meant to hurt you
Consuming me from within
I’m left running for your life

// Her//

Beauty and Light shine through her.
Everything around her blooms. 
Her spirit and joy 
Fuel her flame.

Cloaked in serenity.
Caped with courage and strength.
Perseverance,
No stranger of her’s.

The trees spark her intrigue,
Full of Passion and Desire.
Entangling herself in their embrace,
Sanctuary finds her.

They tell her to run,
Run toward the light. 
For it is there 
Where her heart ignites.

They call to her. 
Call for her. 
Call her home. 

// She//

She’s not alone,
But it’s her only.
Company flees
From utter contempt.

Intentions
Not of neglect,
But still she wanders
Unnoticed.

No finger to point.
No charge to be made.
Self execration
Replaces compassion.

Epitome of forgettable,
Definition of dependable.
Overlooked, undermined.
Unwanted.

She’s invisible.
