when you love.

When you love someone, you don’t judge them—

judgment doesn’t even come to mind;

rather sadness, grief and a desperation to help.

When you love someone, you don’t cut them out of your life;

instead you make a safe boundary and pray for them—

and send them all the healing energy you can create in silence.

When you love someone, you don’t give them advice,

and then develop resentments when they don't take it;

rather you listen to their needs and stay available to fill them.

When you love someone, you don’t say I love you,

instead you show them your love,

with your kindness,

with your words,

with your actions,

with your presence,

and with your thoughts.

When you love someone,

you show love for yourself.

You have a strength inside your soul, never stopping, trying to stay in control. Time slips by and loudly you let things out, neglecting what life has to offer, forgetting what it's all about. Living on the edge with your thoughts of grandness.

Acting way beyond reason, as your passion drives you to a place of madness.

The times you paid the price of what you had done, never looking back, what was the purpose, maybe none. Driving faster and faster with no limits in sight, ignoring your view as you go into the night.

Leaving behind the destruction of what once was a thrill to seek, moving faster and faster to find your next victim your next defeat. As you move forward to reach your desired rush, you seldom look back to remember the hardships and mistrust.

Soon, on a day like this one, you'll look back at your rebel cause, start imagining all the turmoil you created never following the laws. The many times you fled never to get caught, not learning from your perils, instead you ignored the things you should of not.

You have a strength inside your soul, one that makes you who you are!

Why you ask?

Good parents don't tell their children how to think about the world,

But they show their children that they should think about the world.

Broken Friendship

Today, makes it a week

Since the last time I heard you speak,

A brief phone call

Made on the basis of needs.

I believe it's time now

To forget our memories,

You seem to have forgotten me

Lost in the light of superiority.

This time, I'll walk away

Before you can hurt me,

So I end our friendship today

While giving you a piece of me.

The Game of Life

They told us it was about houses and hotels,

But it’s really about humility and love.

You are not the Director of your life,

but you are the Author of your thoughts,

and only you can Edit them.

Now

You only have now

no time to wait

because when you finally

open up your eyes-

you'll realize it's too late...

Open me

Open me for air,

Open me for sunlight,

Open me to let the dirt in, out.
