My Heart Said... To Stay

My heart said…

My heart said to stay.

When your hand touched mine, that day.

And the World stopped spinning when I looked in your eyes,

But how could we cover up all of our lies?

We let them all out, and both our hearts broke.

Our passion was too healthy to generate a stroke.

So you kissed me and caused the jumpstart of my heart,

You promised to never forget to do your part.

From that moment on I was hooked on a drug,

An addiction I got from every hug.

Our fire will never burn out, you said.

And from then on, my heart never bled.

I’ll never regret my souls decision to obey,

When my heart said to stay.

Prisoner Of Emotions

 

 

Prisoner of Emotions

 

in a room full of emptiness,
i am lost, searching for something,
i do not know, searching for something,
that is already within;

confused, tensed, happy, sad,
torn, broken, scared, jubilant,
its a barrage of emotions,
trying to drown me in a sea of sorrow;

is it a fear of the unknown tomorrow?
or is it a confusion of the present?
maybe it is about what happened yesterday?

obessesed by a dream of better life,
i am searching for nothing,
i am being led astray from one to another,
dragging me to the depths of hell and to the highs of heaven;

unable to find the power to fight,
i feel myself being dragged,
against my wishes,
and made into a prisoner of emotions.

I like this poem because I feel everyone could relate to it in one way or another.  I like that its deep, and I like the line “obsessed by a dream of a better life, I am searching for nothing”.  I think a lot of us are trying to find ourselves and what we want to be when we grow up.  I want to make an amazing life for myself, but I don’t know where to find it.  I don’t know where I should go after high school, or what I will love doing for the rest of my life.  A career is a scary thing, I just hope I choose mine wisely.

Step-By-Step: How to Accept President Obama

Step-By-Step:  How To Accept President Obama

So I’m sure some of you reading this voted for Mr. Barack Hussein Obama to rule over America for a second term.  Congrats, you got your wish.  But this post is for those of us who need a little extra help accepting Barack.  Continue reading if this applies to you.

Step 1: You must embrace him, Barack that is.  For this step, I suggest hanging a few dozen posters around your house of Obama’s face.  This step helped me realize that he isn’t that bad looking.

Step 2: Taxes have risen.  But look on the bright side, I work 4 hours straight at a telemarketing job every single day and Barack only takes $150 out of my $300 paycheck.  Not too shabby!

Step 3: We all attend Lone Peak High School.  So I’d be knocked off my feet if I found one single person without a cell phone.  We all love our phones!  And Barack is willing to add to our national debt by handing out cell phones to everyone who doesn’t have one!  Free cell phones people!

Step 4: The overall safety of our country is better than ever.  With 75% of our nuclear weapons destroyed by Barack, we can put all our trust in America’s enemies to (hopefully) not bomb us!

Step 5: Well, this step is the most important.  The thing is, whether you accept President Obama or not, he is our President.  And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

i lost myself.

You Stole This, Too.

I’m lost in a dream,
And nothing is what it seems.
Searching my head,
For the words that you said.

How could this be happening to me?
I'm lying when I say, "Trust me"
I can't believe this is true,
Trust hurts.

My body aches from mistakes,
Betrayed by lust.
We lied to each other so much,

That in nothing we trust.

If there’s a new way, I’ll be the first in line…

Tears filled my eyes, as we said our last good-bye’s.

“I’ll never forget you”

These are the last words,
I'll ever speak.
And they'll set me free.

Blacked out.

I believe in love.

 

Music for life.

Remember Us. Young and Reckless.

Remember Us.

Look where we’ve come, I never thought I would be here, in your arms, right now.  But there isn’t any other place I would rather be.

I remember the first time I saw you.  We were in the ninth grade, you were rebellious, and I was innocent.  It seemed as though you had already experienced the World, and I was still standing on my front door step.  I had never done anything against what my parents had told me, you broke all the rules.

I remember our first kiss.  We had spent months getting to know each other.  I was hesitant at first, but there was something about you that I just couldn’t resist.  You and your gang had made a clubhouse from an old shed in our friends’ backyard, you called me over and they were all there with you.  In the shed, lined along an old couch you guys had purchased at the D.I.  The night was ending, and you asked me to come lay outside with you, so I did.  We were wrapped in a blanket, I looked up at you, and you leaned in and kissed me.  WOW.  The sparks were flying.  All while your friends watched from inside the shed.

From that point on, you became my everything.  We spent a lot of time together, and a lot progressed into every day.  Not a day went by without you by my side.  We shared a passion that I knew no one else had.  You had given me everything, and we shared the World with each other.  It was a fire that could never be put out, that’s what a first love is.  And it’s young, and it’s reckless, and it feels so perfect.  It’s like you’ve lost all control of yourself, and you’ve trusted someone else with it.  Because they are your other  half. 

And you’re lost without them.
