Determination

The will that I have

No one has soul like me

Will be applied to what I see fit need

I reign from a place where your soul needs to be clensed

What do I see?

In a world surrounding me.

What will I do?

Home is where the heart is.

Then the world is my home.

I see people

I actually see them.

Who they are.

Who they are inside is what is important.

It develops from birth.

What we will become is the decision.

Of a life time.

What will you do?

IF you see why do you not do?

Do not be hearers of the word only, be doers. 

It is like looking in the mirror and seeing what you look like, then walking away and forgetting.

Don't forget.

Who you are is not what you become.

Who takes pride an joy in our youth?

Who says I will lead in a time of despair?

It is my determination. 

That seperates me.

I can do anything.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me. 

It is my will. 

The determination to pass to others. 

Wildfire will spread.

Into the meadows. 

Into the ocean.

He came to comfort the afflicted 

and afflict the comforted. 

Determination. 

Self will.

Perseverance.

Soul.

Determination. 

The Bubble

What is privacy?
Is it keeping secrets from the ones you love?
What good does that do?
How can you say you love when that might just be what you are hiding?

Is privacy what sets us apart?
Are we each meant to have our own little world?
Is it so that we can have a fresh start?

What is a fresh start?
Is that what we tell ourselves to rationalize?

Or could it rightfully be when the bubble pops?

Appreciation

It has not been until recently that I have come to recognize and appreciate the smallest moments in life.
These moments may not be the smallest in length but rather, things that we do not notice in life.
It's the smile you give to someone as you walk down the hall.
I have come to smile right back instead of look the other way.
In fact, I have become the one who smiles first.
It's the please, and thank you's that reveal who people truly are.
It's the action not the word.
Realizing that everything happens for a reason.
Everything that has happened, was not by accident.
I have a life, a life to be cherished.
I am in love with everything that happens because I know it has good means.
I have come to love this life.
A year ago, I couldn't say that.

Never Change

When wants override need

When values are compromised

When a paycheck buys a bottle of whiskey 

To wash it all away

The pain burns for tomorrow 

A struggle dreamed to be changed 

Hard work is different to me and you 

Shove a book in my face i will read, you will set it down 

I have no hatred toward you but rather jealousy of your life

Though i may never know the blue ink

The black ink looks nostalgic

Born into a family that will not change.
