Paper People

Some people function like paper you see
Spending life being folded by society
Paper planes thrown across the social classes
By those who care not for the masses

Some people are a blank page
With life written for them as they age
Knowing only another's description
Wondering later why they need a prescription

Some people become a scrap book
Drawn in the image of how things should look
Images of some status that do hold to be true
For no one accepts you for you

Though in the eyes of an artistic soul
These pieces of paper become whole
More than just the product of a trees destruction
Bur the basis for creative construction

Crafted, made anew through origami
Written into a wonderful tale of fantasy
Sketched by the talent of an artistic hand
Accepted by me and others alike only an artist can understand

Conquering Hate

Conquering Hate A plague passed from generation to generation Bouncing around from nation to nation Seems like we'll never escape this curse Throughout time it only gets worse Wars over religion seemed quite odd Just worship differently but to the same God Bloodshed just for being unlike the other We have the same father are you not my brother Just one example, there are plenty more From beyond the ceiling to beneath the floor List as long as the ages All we're doing is adding pages From politics, religion, sexuality and race Seems the hate is only changing face All of it makes no sense to me How as humans are we divided so easily Do we not breathe the same air? Even though we have different skin and hair Noses, body types, ears and eyes We bleed blood and live under the same skies But but but we don't all think the same So, weâ€™re dealt different hands in life's gam Doesn't mean we should take another's light For things that won't matter a...

Love is......

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails" 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 It is the first thing we ever truly feel Yet we wonder if it's really real Searching for something true Just someone who means it when they say "I love you" The concept of love has morphed over the years Changed by insecurities and fears Selfishness, conditions and the need for a title Why can't it be simply as it is in the bible Your love can abuse you Say sweet things to use you Say and act like they'll always be there When in reality they never did care How can you love someone and cause them pain Using something so precious, in vain Covering up with being human as an excuse Yea we fall short, to lean ...

For Women not Girls

Provide, Protect and Profess

If he loves you, you'll never stress

At least not about how he will feel

Because at the very least, thats real

Though there is no perfect man

He stil should do all he can

May not do all three from the start

The desire to should be in his heart

Time should make his devotion stronger

How far he's willing to go should be longer

At some point you should be number one

If it never happens eventually it'll be done

Yea everyone has their own pace

Some wait for the right time and place

But ask yourself are you smiling more than crying

Do you even see him trying

Everything is 50 50 it takes two

Does he put in as much effort as you

Don't submit to a false low self-esteem

To live a nightmare you call a dream

You're no longer that insecure young girl

Obsessed with clothes, make up and a hair curl

Or who is popular and who dates who

...

My Thoughts

Really? Has my life come to this

Tskong this with a side of piss

Suck behind what feels like a locked door

Can't end here, there has to be more

So full of it, most days strain my heart

Sometimes I rather just starve for my art

Push myself to make it for a meal

Harsh life until I my dream real

Not to reap but to simply recite

And make heard the things I write

With my stage fright and all

Even if shortly after I fall

A year of that is ten times better than the last four

Recently feeling like a company whore

Well I guess a prostitute cause I get a check

Though none of it is worth the disrespect

But why quit there to find another dead end

There's just more river around the riverbend

Figured when im fed up and through

I'll dive into what I love to do

It makes sense to me anyway

Just waiting for that day

Leaving this normality

Turn my thoughts to r...
