Give me a Chance
-----------------
Give me a chance to love and hope,
Please whisk my troubles away.
Give me a chance to be forgiven,
To stand at the edge of dawn and day.
Give me a chance to watch time pass by,
not letting my time slip through.
Give me a chance to fly through the wind,
Up to the Sky of Blue.
Give me a chance to reach the sparkling stars,
The heavens high above.
Give me a Chance to be myself,
And be myself to be loved...

The Bridge
-----------------
Among the Wooden Paths,
I stride alone in the Empty Forest,
The wind behind my back,
Blowing softly and pushing me forward.
Moments in time suddenly seem to halt,
As I watch from afar,
The bridge that lies before me,
Am I strong enough to lay my hand?
Across its wooden surface?
Can I cross it?
Find the path hidden in the shadows ahead of me?
Can I find Courage in the darkness so bleak?
To find a light that will guide me?
Moments turn...
Minutes Pass...
Seconds fade away.
Across the Bridge,
Across the Gap,
Leading to my pride,
Leading to my Courage,
Leading to my Hope,
Leading to my Love...

before the night's rising tide

It's very beautiful over there.
And Mr Barrie said: I can't sleep
Before he dreamed his way to Neverland.
And seventy-four years later,
When it was Mr Jobs' time to go
He said Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow
Before he left this world.
Let's go and see the other side
And touch the clouds with our lost lives.
But maybe there's just plain old darkness,
That's familiar even though it's cold.
Mr Darwin said he was not afraid,
And Ms Austen asked for nothing but it
The revolution that was Mr Marx said:
Last words are for fools who haven't said enough.
And no they didn't, they never said enough.

They desire a longing
A longing for that tender sweet bond
The bond of the scarlet river
That flows from within
It is what keeps their hearts
Beating in their caged chests
For without the blood
They could not live
They are bonded by the rogue
Aspiring throughout their souls
For it is what makes them become
Identical as oath brothers
Crimson marks tear up the past
With a small river flowing down
Downward from the crystal eye
The eye of all things known
Emotions are only expressed
Through the pounding of this blood
That never ceases to be
Actualized deems
Their passionate desire
Bursts from within
To crave and taste

He asked once, how could she be so selfish?
He asked once, how could she not think of her children?
He asked once, how could she not be aware of the pain she is inflicting?
He asked, how could she do this to me?
I said, that's not how it is.
I said, there is no selfish, there are no others; no children... no you. There is only darkness.
I said, only darkness and pain.
I said, ask her. And she says:
I walk on the edge of an abyss.
But I am ignorant of it.
I am a fool to feel safe. A fool, unaware.
I walk for a while, and everything is okay.

When I was a kid I used to play pretend
Oblivious those times would one day end
I would pretend I was an astronaut
Exploring deepest space
I'd use my pillows as a rocket ship
And the blankets as the caves
Sometimes I would imagine
That I was on TV
I used a box as the frame
And cut a hole for a screen
I would always swing a bat
Pretending that I played
Baseball in the sun
While drinking lemonade
I always thought I was a doctor
With my plastic stethoscope
Healing all the animals
With cotton and some soap
I would pretend I was on stage
Strumming air guitar
Singing in a microphone
Into a sea of endless

Remembrance Day originates at the end of World War I. The idea is to honor those who died in the line of duty, defending their country from enemies. For all its pompous words and fancy granite memorials littered with colorful flower bouquets, Remembrance Day and others like it have failed miserably in achieving this goal.
I've often been criticized as having no respect, and that can be an impediment when discussing certain topics. However, I am often in luck – hypocrisy deserves no respect. What changed as a result of the enormous sacrifice of those who died in WW1? As the first bombs of WW2 fell just two decades later, millions once a

You must have been kept in the dark,
Or so bathed in light,
That you know things yet to be designed
I believe in the latter
Not through my own desires
But because sun circles your serene face
As a halo would an Angel's
So I bid thee,
Tell me all there is to know-
Nay
Reveal to me nothing of your machinations for I now know
The joy of life is mystery

"If you had a choice at the beginning of your journey to either end now and forget everything you witnessed or, you can see what happens next in the journey and not give up. I would have chosen the second one for sure." Those were the last words I heard my brother speak before he disappeared into thin air one day.
I awoke in a start, being in a middle of a nightmare. I look at my battery powered alarm clock and see it says four o' clock a.m. . I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom half asleep. I tried the light-switch and it failed to light the room. After realizing this, I looked around the small bathroom and noticed the fish light or

BrokenHe had promised to always fix her; when her heart malfunctioned, when she started losing her mind, even when she fell and scraped her knee he was there to fix her. And today was no different. The pair had been riding off in the emerald forests, when it happened. Goldie has made a gasping noise the fell of the beast that had carried her weight for years. Her shrieking fallowed the fall as he dismounted, rushing to her side as quickly as his legs could carry him.Broken7 months ago in Short Stories More Like This

You jump up onto the first big branch and you grip so tightly, you may fall or you may climb up and take a break.
But if you wait to long then you get no where.
You try for the next branch and you slip and fall because you hear noise down below saying that you couldn't reach that far. If you stopped now then you will have to stay on the branch you are at.
Over time you try again, you reach far and grasp it, lifting yourself up you may either take a break or try for the

This is a very complex question. In truth, I'm not entirely sure. Then again, is anyone? We humans, as a species, are constantly changing; both physically and mentally, both consciously and subconsciously. Our outlooks transform and evolve as we acquire new experiences.
So, in short: I'm not sure who I am, I'm not even sure who I was or who I will be in the future.
But there is one thing that I'm sure of: with each passing day, I'm getting closer and closer to unlocking my identity.
And when that day comes, I'll welcome it with open arms.

You sit here thinking of nothing but ending you life, and how it will solve your problems.
It will make everyone's like a whole lot easier.
They won't have to deal with you.
They won't have to provide for you or buy what you want.
They will have more money in the pockets to do what they wish with.
They will not have to fight with you yell and scream, cut you off when you are trying to explain something or have to make sure your ok.
They will have an overall better life.
