One day you’ll realize that life is such You look around and see, things have changed so much Nothing is like what they used to be anymore And you start thinking, “was all of that a show?” As life passes by and you look at everyone in envy You can’t help but feel, “why couldn’t that be me?” The internal battle between heart and mind never ends Especially when you stand alone among all your friends Looking back at your life, it really hasn’t been so bad Lots of amazing memories, both happy and sad Now and again you’ve endured pain and heartache And spilled so many tears over all those costly mistakes Life wasn’t meant to be easy and all and that’s a fact There’s nobody on earth who can try and deny that In good times and in bad we will never forget The people we lost and the words we regret As we come to certain points and take certain bends We hope that desolate hearts can one day be happy again And find meaning in their lives that they j

There are times we see things that aren't there Like mirages things just dissappear in to thin air We lead with our hearts and its a waste of time Because we get so close and we drop the dime We feel like our dreams are an arm's length away But the truth is we're no closer than yesterday That's just how life truly is at the end of it all Things and people we love, make us feel small We all want to be happy with perfect lives to lead We make all that effort to plant the initial seed We plan it out and we only believe in success Then it alll goes down hill and becomes a mess I guess that's just what it is, we just have to deal And understand that somethings just aren't real It's probably the only way to beat the confusion And accept that our minds are deceived by illusions

Sometimes we don’t have a choice We have to give in to that little voice Regardless of how much it hurts inside There are something’s we just have to hide It’s hard to let go of anything, nobody can deny that Regardless of what it is, it’s hard and that’s fact And as much as we suffer and hurt because of it Sometimes to move forward, we just have to quit It’s a terrible part of life, but a part nonetheless And it’s the only way we can move from the mess We have to accept certain truths about life Even if it feels like the sharp end of a knife We let go of certain sentimental belongings We even lose our pets without any warning We bury any animosity held against our peers Even if it all lingers in our memories for years The hardest thing is letting go those we love dearly Best friends, partners and especially family Sometimes circumstances force us to step back Because sadly it’s the only thing that’ll keep us on track

We’ve all heard it all before, “You’re just not good enough” “You’re not qualified enough” “You’re not skilled enough” "You're not good looking enough" "You're not fit enough" For that girl, boy or that promotion For that sports team or for that degree These words are so powerful they ruin us When in reality they should inspire They should fuel the fire in our hearts “What do I have to do to get there?” The simple answer is believe in yourself Because only you can fight the pain Only you can keep pushing through And only you can prove to yourself That you truly are good enough

We’ve all felt those god awful feelings The kind that hurt so bad they leave us reeling Some people will never understand the pain Or how it slowly but surely drives us insane Depression is a brutal killing machine It’s felt by millions, though it’s rarely seen Most suffer in silence and bottle it all inside And it feels like there’s no bright side It has no remorse, the merciless pain it brings No matter what it stems from, it’s unforgiving Some claim that being emotional is a cry for attention But those people don’t realize that it’s not the intention There’s no way to measure how much pain one endures And nobody has the right to judge that pain, that’s for sure People can be vicious and insufferably remorseless fools And to ridicule someone who suffers, is just plain cruel Imagine the difference we help could make in someone’s heart If we had just listened to them and been there from the start We could save countless lives if we could ju

Love hits us in the strangest of ways and trying to figure it out can take days we never see it coming, it’s always unexpected especially when it comes totally unsuspected It's one of those things we need and crave it even has to power to turn us into slaves to the camel clutch of love, we'll always submit even if we're sometimes afraid to admit We look for a soul mate, someone who gets us someone who listens without making a fuss a loving embrace that keeps us warm in the cold and a shoulder to cry on as we grow old Being in love is truly an amazing feeling especially when a mere glimpse leaves you reeling it’s like every romantic comedy you ever seen holding hands and snuggling an everyday scene But there is a dark side to love, the pain, and hurt it can turn your heart into dust and bury you in dirt falling in love is easy, we don't even realise it’s happening falling out of love, a feeling that's beyond excruciatin

Like a Knight from the days of old He wears his armour over a heart of gold Fighting for survival in life's great war Demons in his mind from all he saw He fears no man, blade or bodily harm He can't count the times he nearly bought the farm Standing against evil, a gauntlet he would face Fighting for good and vanishing without a trace Living with body covered by the scars of his past He travels on hoping he's find true love at last The Armour around his heart, fading slowly He was a hardened warrior, yet humble and lowly  Like all Knights, he has a chip on his shoulder  Bearing the weight of his pain, onward he'd soldier His only weakness was his Noble heart  And from his undying lust for love, he did not part Only the blades of love could pierce his armour  Bringing him to his knees, as he was no charmer To defend his love he would charge any fight But for now he wonders on, a lost and lonely Knight

Each morning, the beginning of the next round The fight with life, the hardest around  It'll beat you, bloody you and hurt to no end And all you can n do survive and find a way to mend Your life is what you make of it they say But we know that  a little luck goes along way  On a rare day, life retreats and we go on the attack  But then as we let our guard down, life hits back In life and in boxing,  landing punches is a must  Because if we don't, we just end up eating dust  Sometimes life does knock us down hard  And while wounds heal, we'll always be scarred  Like the cutmen in the corner, we have our friends  We trust and hope that they'll be there till the end But we can't depend on them cos they fight battles of their own. So sometimes it's left to us to fight life all alone We make bad choices and play catch up all the time  And following our hearts, is truly our only crime  We will get hurt but we should never lo

Imagine if there’s that one person in life One you couldn’t go a day without speaking to A person who is always there in times of strife Someone who virtually completes you They’re the friend you always confide in Someone who knows your ins & outs on every level A person that knows before you start speaking One that you click with on a very different level They can relate to anything you’ve experienced                                                   Even if you’re polar opposites in every aspect You make time for them even in an inconvenience A true best friend with every respect There’s no level to how much you care for them And at the same time you know they’ll always be there Someone whose heart shines like a very rare gem They won’t hesitate to tell you off, purely cos they care Everyone needs that one true friend Keeping you centered through the worst that you see Someone who will be with you until the bitter end And that’s w

And so it began, one dark and stormy night Lost and drowning in an ocean of thought With pen and paper in hand, I began to write Not knowing at all the outcome I sought. With Rolling thunder and a flickering candle And a heart full of sorrow and pain I penned all the thoughts that I couldn't handle As I sat staring at the pouring rain "Memoirs of a Burdened Heart" the first title I chose Inadvertently opening an unimaginable door Looking back, I'm glad that door didn’t close I never imagined myself a writer, all those years ago. A hobby born from a pain filled heart Is now a livelihood that I'll never give up From a time I didn't know where to start To a point where now, I never want to stop So I found my passion in very trying time A place where I can open the floodgates In poetry I found a love of words and rhyme  And this became my Twisted Fate
