Rediscovery is a beautiful thing,
Seeing something once does not mean you really saw,
You can see something a hundred times,
But if you look closer each time,
If you have a different perspective each time,
If you are at a different place in your life each time,
If you are in a different mood even,
I bet you will see something new or deeper or more profound,
We don’t always need new experiences,

In the heart of the quiet, forgotten town,
Where streets are silent and sound,
A soul returns with memories brown,
From the archaic past, lost dreams are found.
Once, long ago, this place was home,
With laughter ringing through every door,
Now wandering, a heart does roam,
In search of what was lost before.
So let the journey, gentle, guide,
Through paths that once were known so well,
In redisco...
When I was eleven, I kissed a boy.
We starred in the school show.
He was bold, I was coy.
His name was Matteo.
After the play, we met backstage.
Did I know what it meant
to kiss a boy at that age?
The detention was well spent.
He left school before long.
My heart ached, not to know why.
I knew how I felt was wrong
that I was in love with a guy.
Years and years away, I'm a man.
A wife with ch...
Hard working boy,
With dreams in mind,
Nothing can stop his footstep.
Incident has happened,
Nearly took away his life;
Negative comes out,
Lazy,
Complaining,
Doesn’t matter how the life goes…
For years never changed,
Until one day, a striking news!
Drowned dreams starting to emerge.
He want to come back,
Top of the mountain,
Where he had been before.
Changing the whole,
Hard,
But with happy a...
Sometimes I sit in my room, going through boxes of things i've long since forgotten about.
i'll pull out an old sketch, or maybe a letter, and i'll think of you.
Old memories stick with me forever, sitting dusty in my closet until I find them again, years later.
And my mind always goes back to you....
I tap my pen lightly along the edge of the desk. *thunk* I look up to find a teacher teaching and as I absorb the words I am beginning to realize something. I enjoy this setting. This time. This day.
The bell rings and as I walk out I am overwhelmed by a sense of wonder. I imagine, I dream and I create. I am my mind and my mind enjoys this. My mind enjoys life....
In a tiny box locked away are all of my memories photos from when I was a baby, in middle school, college, and even high school, bracelets my friends have given me, cards from birthdays, Christmas, and Easter, any small souvenir from where I’ve traveled too, but there’s one thing that sticks out to me one thing I wouldn’t trade for the world because it meant so much to me the old smell still lying...
It’s hard to describe where things started - the beginning of things just disappeared. Always believing I was afraid of time continuing to move forward but the past is what I mostly fear. Every step towards happiness taking me a step further from being happy. Continuously reliving unpleasant events in my mind causing me to view the world as crappy. Repeatedly asking myself, why am I here - why me ...
He tore me down,
Trampled on my trust.
A permanent feature became a frown.
My life became unjust.
My self esteem declined,
And now I am lost.
My love for you I can not find,
What was the cost?
The cost of loving you,
Was losing myself.
What can I do?
When I’m stuck on the highest shelf.
I need to be my own lover,
Myself,I need to rediscover....
Beyond these four walls around me
There is a world of kind
There are all the things about me
I’m still yet to find
And I won’t linger
Cause I’m more than just a loss
I’m more than a finger
And there’s so much yet to cross
And I’ll have to leave behind
The shape of a footprint
To read between the lines
And shades of my fingerprint
I’m more than a boundary
I am the dream
Of the other s...
