What is life?
I don't know.
Life is just…life.
It starts, and it ends.
But what is it like?
It's not like time. Time cannot be stopped. Life can.
Yet, it's like a river. Rivers can be controlled. Life can be controlled.
So is life like a river? Nah.
It's not like a river, and it's not like time…
What is life? What is it like?
Well, I'd say…
Life is whatever you want it to be. Good or bad.
No one else can make you change how your life is except you.
The question now is…
What DO you want it to be?
It's your choice. Make it a good one.

Life is great so don't regret.

Life is the space between your ears,
Life is the song that no one hears,
Life is the place that only you know,
Life is the grass growing through snow,
Life is the touch of a lover's hand,
Life is a castle melting in sand,
Life is the laugh that's stuck in your throat
Life is a poem that god wrote
Life is the shiver on a warm night,
Life is like death, only not quite.

The Truth to LifeDo we have a purpose, is a question one will often askThe Truth to Life8 years ago in Open More Like This
Is there a higher power out there, some greater task
The truth will hurt many, not only a few
People have a hard time dealing with that which is true
There is nothing greater that watches your back
Deal with it, stop crying and build your own stack
You are responsible for the life that you lead
It is not someone else's fault when you don't get what you need
If one wants the stars, they must be grabbed by one's own hand
Nothing in life is freely given there is no promised land
So the question remains, why are we here
For those without faith, the answer is painfully clear

You see it again, you feel it again.
You’ve got to go back to the time
You knew so well, you need it so.
Losing power, they stare at you
Such a chance, they say.
And in such a dream
You fall to their charm
But you clench your fists and he asks, he asks
Do you wanna throw your life away?
Let it all just waste away?
Do you wanna let yourself down?
Let yourself fall to the ground?
‘Cause you know you’re never gonna get out,
And you’re always gonna think
Why did I?
Why did I?
Even with their voices telling you
No, you won’t stop now.

To dreamTo dreamTo dream7 years ago in Other More Like This
Is to let the fantasies flow through,
To let reality fade away,
To fly through clouds of cotton candy,
And to sigh in love at the end of the day.
To dream
Is an adventure of sailing in a big shoe,
Skiing on mountains of icecream,
Flying with wings of our own,
And most of all, to be incondecantly happy.
Oh, how I wish to dream,
For everyday to be a great adventure!
To slip away from my hellish life,
And fly through the never-ending skies of a perfect place.
Oh, how I wish to dream, forever and a day.

Is how things were and how they are now.
So many unsaid things still in my chest,
But unable to let them go.
You were once something your not now,
And perceptions have changed slightly.
I've walked a dark road from a chest hugged
So tightly, but things were new back then and
I was young.
Many times since one moment so significant,
My feelings have risen from a place long lost.
Never again will I see your face,
But one so closely remembered.
From a kind hearted emotion to pure hatred,
But then again I wasn't the only one.
Many people saw it before me,
One who was right first was turned

Keep your head down and just walk forward.

Just walk…
Walk to get away from everything.

Does it really even matter now?
Oh no. Here they come.
Okay, just smile.

Because I know what I want you to do, I know what would make me feel special.
The best thing- The best thing would be if tomorrow afternoon when I told you I wasn’t going to be at school on Wednesday, You told me you would miss me, and kiss me really gently.
Then you would smile and say,
“Let’s just hope we’re snowed out of school on Thursday”
“You can come to my house”
“We can make little chocolate cakes with marshmallow hearts on top!”

Those things that I said
I wish now more than ever
I could take them back
They're haunting me
Those things that I felt
And it all feels so unfair
The cards I've been dealt
They're haunting me
Those people I knew
They care what I feel like
And watch what I do
They're haunting me
Those things I've done
And I can't reverse them
It seems time has won
I'm haunting me
With all my regrets
And fears of the future
What I haven't done yet
SelfishLove is a selfish emotionSelfish5 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
We all want it for our own
We keep others from having it
As all the past has shown
Love is a selfish emotion
We think of ourselves all the time
When do the ones we love get a choice
Where do we draw the line
Love is a selfish emotion
It puts us all through many things
In the end all we want from it
Is money and wedding rings
Love can be a selfless emotion
When it’s not treated like a game we play
Don’t take love for granted
The selfish have love taken away

I have a little secret,
Deep within my chest.
Many know of this secret,
But only I know best.
The secrets about a girl,
Whom I so truly love.
The girl, so beautiful,
It's like she's from up above.
She is totally amazing,
Kind and beautiful in every way.
She is all I want and all I need,
But will the word yes be what she says.
I will not say her name,
In fear that she will know.
Of all my feelings and all my love,
And at that she will go.
I just hope that one day,
She will feel the same.
And I hope that one day,
In my ear she'll same my name.

I know I've never been good enough,
And I'll never be able to prove myself.
But I will keep trying to win your love.
Because with every push and shove,
With every beating and bruise,
I know you still care, because when I refuse,
Refuse to let you in my room at night,
When mommy turns off her light,
At my door you'll always be.
You say you "love" me.
But we both know you don't,
Because if mommy won't,
Give you any for awhile,
I'm the one you'll come after.
Because I'm that forbidden fruit,
For the more I deny you and refuse,
The more you want to beat me,
Hoping one day I'll just give in.

It all started when I was 6 years old. While I was playing outside on my farm in California, I met a boy. He was an average kind of boy who teased you and then you chased them and beat them up. After that first meeting in which I beat him up we kept on meeting and beating each other up at the fence. That only lasted for a little while though. We would meet at the fence all the time and we were always together. I would tell him all my secrets. He was quite very quiet he would just listen to what I had to say. I found him easy to talk to and I could talk to him about everything. In school we had separate friends but when we got home we would al
