No Regrets

The path we walk
is too short to be retracing our steps.
If that road less traveled
begins to wind,
then walk in the blind.
If you find that light burns out,
find your own way in the dark.
Look to your own star,
we can't all look to the North.

No regrets
and working to regress.
No more looking back
with unfulfilled emotion.
I won't turn my head,
no matter what is said.
Yes this is no regrets.

Go with the wind,
throw caution to it.
There is nothing to be lost
by surviving your own maze.
Take those leaps,
don't fear the fall.

THE SONG FOR A WRONG GOODBYE

I know we've been down this road before
and i'm sure this will end up on the floor.
We're walking down this road unknown,
but we don't have to walk alone.

The more that clock's allowed to talk,
the easier it is to listen
to its logical prayer.
I can't define love,
but I know I feel it.

Patience is a virtue;
one that i don't have.
I could get over you,
but don't let me make that mistake.

You'll never get that happy ending
when you're afraid to turn the page.
This is a warning.
The sirens are wailing.
Evacuate this life
into my arms.

Fight

For the poetry haters out there I got another blog to add to my compendium of vast knowledge that is not in poem form.

I believe we need to all fight more. I in know way mean this in a Fight Club sorta way and start wailing on strangers. I mean it in a fight for what you believe in sorta way. Events in my life recently made me see clearer that people just hold back too much. So many people out there want something but refuse, to what?....That's right, FIGHT.

It could be fighting fears or speaking up to someone and confronting them if they need confrontation. We almost always know what the right thing to do but we are to afraid way to much. If I sound vague, that's because it's different for everybody. I just need to be reminded sometimes that we all have fight in us and it needs to be heard or else you're never really known.

Often times when I (or people like me) speak up and fight, I am told I should have just kept it to myself. These are the kind of people I find pathetic. To quote Maya Angelou,"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." So in your everyday life just try to remind yourself that a little fight is worth the pain. Sometimes that's all we have to rely on to feel alive.
