The Race

But dusk wanes and moon falls.
And sun rays of winter crawls.
Never the same, still trance us all.

I could have it all
Take down these walls
What's our story?

Got to claim what's mine
Staying clear, of
doubt and wonder.

What's in store, left undone
Cant fake it just to make it
Can wait no longer.

'Least I past the test
No time to rest
Try my loudest.

Race me to the town
Awaiting sings, soaring towers.
Bending at the seams; broken means
I build it louder!

A world without them seems
What does it mean?
To break my wonderings?

Dying so sweetly
Never tries
To imitate me.

I was in the dark
This tired heart
Thought I could.

Wounds never found
Glowing skies year round
Breaking down but never bound

"Leaving You"

After finishing my first year of college, saying goodbye to my roomate and hello to summer was a bittersweet moment. We became great friends by randomly being selected to live together and I couldn't love her or miss her any more.....this writing is inspired from our new friendship.....

Stuck to these quiet walls
Trying to hear your call.
Whispers hope but tho' you're gone
I still sing to you, the sweetest song.

Can't think your not around
Skies start to fade, darkened sound.
Walking through the rain
Scatter my mangled thoughts.

Miss how you're not around
Nothing can replace your sound.
Warmth once there can't be found
Your laughter beats through the ground.

How I know you're never gone
Through thick and thin, never done.
Embrace the strives, bring me down
Take me, like the speed of sound

"The Girl Before"

Growing up is never easy. We realize that so many years have passed and that we soon are thinking about lifetime careers. But as one chapter in our lives closes, another begins...


I am not
the girl next door.
I can't go on
Like I have before.

I've been a fool
I can't explain.
Taken the time
To work and grind.

I can't believe
My past holds on.
I lived to dance
As I sang t'ill dawn.

It's a deal worth breaking
No risk for the taking.
A toxic touch you bring
Make my lucid memory sting.

No longer a princess
No daddy's little girl.
Got to claim what's mine
Show I can make it just fine.

Never turn out
The way I wanted.
But here's the chance
To take what you taunted.

No such luck
No place to run.
Each way I turn
Recalls mistakes I've done.

Make me see past
Terrors played out.
My minds blinded sight
Soon skies evermore ignite.

"Once Upon Forgotten"

My deadly fear: to be forgotten...somehow we all leave our mark while living our days, whether we inspire others to do good or we change the lives of those around us by the actions that help better out community. Never Forget....

You're the one I see
When its hard to hide.
You know I'm close
To what can't be disguised.

Too shy to speak
Thoughts couldn't be right.
Scared to break this bind
In hope of what I'd find.

Pray I'm yours to keep
Thought it would be oh too sweet.
Ignored their stresses on the making
But set myself up for the taking.

Fell for the wrong guy
Never thought to care.
Of being so cherished
Such thoughts suspended in air.

Wake up to sing
Hide despairs all around.
Fear of finding you there
Placed my heart on cold ground.

He stands before me
Wishing what went wrong.
How do I wake from this nightmare?
Can't let go once your gone.

Think back when you and I
Wished we could see.
Had hopes we'd stay beside
Sweet times now long on by.

"Unknown Fears"

We'll never know what life has in store for us unless we take chances. We never fail when we fall. We only fail when we stop trying to achieve our goals.

Don't know why I couldn't be
Your only one, your everything.
Drained me of what I couldn't see
Never thought I'd try to believe.

Never believe each day we're here's
To doubt our haunted unknown fears.
Forced within my open arms
Thrown into heart of the storms.

Long to cast these seas of green
Towards the joys of singing free.
Withstand the hurt I'll never stray
Until my strength carries me away.

Struggles Within

For anyone who has felt trapped inside and has struggled to be themselves.

"Caged"...

The sand, the spring

The sun, the seas.

The trees that sway

A cooling breeze.

The reds, yellows,

Orange and greens.

A mass collage of

Tropical scenes.

Seeping through skies,

Parted at ease.

To break these bars,

And part these seas.
