You will be all warm

such a tiny flame
burning all alone
something keeps it tame
as if not to be shown...

FEEL ME! it screams
burning all alone
"I'm HERE!" it pleas
"Find Me before I'm gone..."

such a tiny spark
"I'm almost done."
weak in the dark
"Ignite me before I'm gone"

faint is its light
it grows colder
the spark must fight
before the smolder

no more tiny light
the end has come
its time for night
and pain for some

i am gone from thee
now you lie with the dead
why couldn't you see
you need me to course from
heart to head

i love you

reignite my warmth............

Inclement weather

There is a black cloud floating over me right now. A little storm cloud, with lightning bouncing around it. I think I'm the one that put it there. It sits there above me, growing and shrinking. Every choice I make either makes it pour itself out onto me, or shrink away. This cloud has never left me, and I don't think it ever will. Even though it is something I wish didn't hang over me everyday, I know its a part of who I am.

We all have this dark cloud hanging over us. Its full of all our negativity, our problems, our worries, our lost hopes and dreams, our bad news, and sadness.

What some people don't know is, we also have a shining bright fire inside of us. Full of our positivity, our love, our life, our never ending will, our hopes and dreams that are still alive, our good memories, our happiness.

And no matter how hard that dark cloud rains and pours that flame will never go out. No matter how small the flame might be it never dies. It persists, it grows strength, and burns on. For in life, we can't be held down by negativity or bad tidings. Good things always prevail even in dark times.

So when that storm cloud above your head seems big as ever, pouring down on you, and the fire becomes a single flame, don't forget that it will not be put out. Not by that cloud. Not by anything.

Burn brightly into the future.

Hopeless Romantic

Imagine falling asleep in your bed one night. You are all alone, but you have someone on your mind. Someone you love, someone you miss, someone you can't stop thinking about. And when you fall asleep all you wish for is that in the morning that person was there.

I've felt this way for a while. I imagine waking up in a bed with white sheets. The sun is bright outside, there is a nice ocean breeze pushing white curtains in and out of the window, and there is someone sleeping with their head resting on my chest. They wake up and smile at me for a split second as the sunlight rushes into the room and blinds me. Before the moment is passed i capture the image of her eyes, her face, her smile and hold onto it.

I wake up in real life and find myself in a cold, dark room and I'm alone. The dream is gone, eclipsed by the reality that, those images won't become real. They are just a fantasy that I want so bad. I want nothing more than for that morning to exist. Thats why I can't get rid of that dream. I want it so badly but i'm not sure it will come true.

How do i make it real? How do I bring all the necessary pieces together? How can I wake up to that image of peacefulness, and beauty?

I'm holding onto something that feels impossible to get, but I can't let that hold me back. I'll make it happen even if it only happens once.

Patience wearing thin.

Is this the only way?

It's a never ending cycle.

We're running out of time.

This is my deepest dream.

I want to try and build some sort of awareness for the young people I know. I want us to be more involved in things that matter. Issues that are important. Have some knowledge on how to make the world a better place.

We need to open our eyes and see what is more important in this world other than just personal gain. We need to work towards a brighter better future for everyone. We need to stop and think if what we are doing in our lives is really helping anyone else. If it is even helping the betterment of humanity. Or if our way of life is just a never ending cycle.

I know I don't want my life to be: Get up, go to work, Eat, Sleep, Repeat. Unless my job is Changing the world for the better.

For the majority of us that isn't true. We are just stuck in a cycle provided to us by our government, our families, and our own false sense of importance.

We need to take a step back to the drawing board and re-evaluate what things are important, and make sure we put forward and fix the important things first. Instead of caring about sports scores, celebs lives, or some stupid argument about something unimportant that fills the airways and our minds to the breaking point.

Please take a few minutes of your life and examine what you think is important for you, then think if those important things are important on a global scale. Let me know what you think.

Also we can discuss your thoughts as well. I'd love to have a discussion.

Plant a seed.

Have you ever asked the question: Why do we still use oil and fossil fuels?

I have many many many times. Why would we use such an expensive, inefficient, crude, outdated fuel? Something that cripples our economy, starts wars and leads to so much useless heartache.

Why don't we use things like Solar, wind, geothermal, or water energy for all out energy needs?

I mean think of it this way.

The Sun shines on the earth constantly. We could run the whole planet on that giant ball of energy. But we don't! I mean all the living plants do it why can't we?

Now wind energy can only be harnessed in a high enough amount in certain parts of the world but still that is clean, constant, FREE Energy!

And of course water power, be it with a dam, wave or current power, could power the coasts.

We don't need fossil fuels, we don't need nuclear energy, we don't need Oil anymore. We have the power to live our lives more efficiently. We just need to get rid of Oils grip on us.

It starts with a few and becomes many. We just have to start now. Little things at first then get bigger over time.

I don't usually endorse this but write your congressman asking why we depend on oil when there are alternatives that are efficient and cheap and renewable.

Change doesn't start at the White House or Congress. It starts with the people. The individual. That change then influences something bigger than itself. Lets start the change.

Wait for it........

I've been thinking a lot lately where I want to be in the next few years of my life. What do I want to do after I graduate college? (At NKU, or even somewhere else) What do I want to do before that?

I know I want to write a lot more. Fiction writing I mean. I want to write more scripts, more book ideas and eventually write something longer than just a short story. I want to start now without anything getting in my way.

There are just so many distractions. Video games, my social life, needing to find a job, needing to move out, needing to grow up and let go of being a kid. I just want to be in a place in my life where I don't need to worry about money, or deadlines. I don't want to be stressed out about what I have to do tomorrow, or next week , or next month. I just want to take life as it comes not having to worry about what is going to happen.

I want to be able to dream as big as I want and eventually make that a reality.

So I make a challenge for myself. Write something new. Rewrite something old. Finish something in progress.
