"The Next Step"

1/4/2015

As we more forward in our lives, we think about how our past impacts our present, how our present impacts the future we are trying so desperately to attain with each experience, each relationship, each day, and each breath. As long as we pull from a place of goodness, that end state will be somewhere in sight. Some shots we take in life don't hit center mass initially, but we refine ourselves, refine our skills, we can "dial it in" to meet the point or target we are aiming for.

-Nothing is never something
-We are as we see
-Conflict wages in and around us
-But only we define us
-Seek what battles to fight
-Win or lose
-We are who we choose
-A balance to strive towards
-Though others may fall short
-We strive to transform
-Decisions
-Ambitions
-Reasons we live or die for
-Less is not always more
-More is not always best
-So place your mind at rest
-Before you take that next step

"Wrong Direction"

12/23/2014

Comments

Rejection happens. We hope that a special someone shares an equal fondness for us, but it does not always work out. It is very difficult; however, do not take a failed advance personal. If she/he is not overcome by how awesome your are, it is THAT person's loss not yours. There is someone else around the corner who will appreciate ALL of you. It will take time. Be confident in who you are and continue to groom yourself into the dynamic person YOU want to be.

-Wrong direction, misplaced affection
-Rejection
-Another one of life's little lessons
-You and me, the possibilities
-I took a chance on yes, and you replied with no
-So many emotions
-Doubting self-worth, fighting anger
-Just want to go back to us being strangers
-Hurt and pain
-Put myself out there, but for what gain?
-May not be a coward, but I sure want to take back that last hour
-I know, I have many things to offer
-You don't see them, so I suffer?
-One day I'll find another
-Who will love all of me, unconditionally, and eternally

"Wait, Stay"

12/23/2014

The feeling of falling is so euphoric, but we also may feel the need to restrain ourselves out of caution. Will she/he catch me if I fall? Are we really compatible? Does she/he share the same feelings? Our thoughts and emotions can become overwhelming or fleeting. At times, we move forward with nothing more than a little faith. Here is to hoping it blossoms into something wonderful.

Wait, Stay

-The thought of you makes me smile
-Maybe a crush, feeling flushed
-Maybe a love, feeling rushed
-You take me somewhere else
-See things I couldn't see for myself

Wait, Stay

-Let us explore this connection
-I think of you often
-Tell me you don't see it?
-You're so beautiful, an energy so pure, a heart so open

Wait, Stay

-If I could remember my dreams, I am sure they are of you
-That's why I sleep so soundly
-You're like my heartbeat, the air I breathe, the soul I seek
-An image in the mirror, that until now, I never understood who was looking back at me

Wait, Stay

"Toxicity"

11/22/2014

Comments

A point in time where we can experience some of our most significant frustrations is when our expectations and our realities are vastly different. It can be a very hard pill to swallow. We can train to sharpen our minds and bodies, but that is really only a fraction of what it takes to defeat the problems that stand in front of us. We show our honest self in the face of adversity. Through self-awareness and self-regulation, we make adjustments in various situations...hopefully for the better.

-It’s not what was sold to me, what was told to me
-Idealized discipline and unlimited opportunity
-But really
-It’s a well-oiled hypocrisy, a well-defined bureaucracy
-Lead by too many spot lights who don’t care
-No individual or resource is spared
-A hand shake here and a hand wave there
-Politics before competence
-Selective policies before logical equality
-Embracing mediocrity instead of celebrating creativity
-A directive here and a delegation there
-No consequence for laziness
-Save for the broken backs of those who never quit
-Notional oversight over methodical development
-Shit in and shit out
-Yet so shocked when the mission doesn’t work out
-Readiness in personnel, equipment, and training
-Yet we don’t hold all to equal accountability
-Yet we don’t emphasize responsibility to maintain property
-Yet we don’t provide deliberate time to resource and train properly
-As we downsize, issues continue to climb
-The same tired souls tow the line
-From point A to point B
-Sacrifices they decline to see
-But a self-validation is guaranteed
-Hunger for esprit de corps
-Pray for another door
-Salute to a better day
-Change be the right of way

"I DON'T ALWAYS"

10/21/2014

A friendship is the most coveted relationship. It is a foundation built upon trust, loyalty, and respect. Friends help us provide better insight into ourselves, whether we want to hear it or not. Together, they assist in achieving balance and pulling us, sometimes by sheer will, through some of our greatest hardships. Anyone you can truly call a friend, hold them close, because friends are blessings.

-I don't always want to be around you
-But it's not because I don't love you
-I do, It's just that
-You're an extrovert, and I'm an introvert
-Sometimes I need
-Time, space
-Alone, for me
-Alone, and free
-Free to think, free to breathe
-See there are some parts of me I can't share
-Some parts of me I don't dare
-You may feel it's not fair to you
-My defensive mechanism that keeps my life, for a long time, from feeling like a prison
-I rely mostly, no, almost always on me
-That is why I lock inside my deepest thoughts and dreams
-From myself and everyone else
-Sweet, sour
-Weak, power
-My words are always louder
-Not always right, but it helps me sleep through the night
-Rest, to the next day; Always, one more fight
-I'm sorry you feel hurt
-But I still want our friendship to work
-So do what you want to, and I'll do what I have to
-Not about control just doing what it takes for me to feel whole
-Maintain my senses and cleanse my soul

"Don't Say"

9/26/2014

Unrequited love...traveling on a one-way road to literally a dead end. One person desires a romantic relationship, while the other person wants something platonic. Strange how some of us choose to be miserable, even though it's emotionally agonizing. Maybe we forget to love ourselves before we are ready to love others. Think about what the issue really is? How can you feel loss over something you never had in the first place? Shouldn't love be selfless? Be firm and fair with yourself. Create some distance, so you can take some quality time and reflect.

-What a hopeless romantic longs for
-Someone to open our heart for
-Brings out that smile inside
-Why, hide your feelings for her
-Why, torture your mind
-She can't be happy with you
-Something so beautiful
-I don't deserve
-What have I done
-To grow, earn love
-To hear her say no
-Is worse than letting the dream go
-A mind so heavy
-A tougue so frozen
-A concious so unsure
-Pain endures
-Better than nothing at all

-Don't Say
-I'm a coward
-I'm a fool
-I do what I can
-I am...what I am
-I am...a broken man
-Maybe in another life
-I could take that risk
-Not miss
-A chance
-For a meaningful relationship

-Don't Say
-I can't be someone special to you
-If only I could unfold
-Reach out and take hold
-Your hand
-Help you understand

-Don't Say
-I'm nothing to you
-If only my thoughts could move
-Communicate to you
-I want something more

-Don't Say
-I can't be next to you
-One look in your eyes
-And my whole world feels right
-For the first time

-Don't Say
- I can't say
- I can't say
- I can't say
