When you finally accept that ...

"When you finally accept that 
it's OK not to have answers 
and 
it's OK not to be perfect, 
you realize that 
feeling confused is a normal part 
of what it is 
to be a HUMAN BEING!"
~ Winona Ryder

You should be better than ...

The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!

Life isn't about waiting for ...

Leave your front door and ... Shunryu Suzuki

Leave your front door 
and your back door open.
Allow your thoughts to come 
and go.
Just don't serve them tea

There you are… Lovely Poem

There you are…

by Damona M. Efraim

I like what I see
I like what I feel
Street noise got me window chasin’
Got me curtain pushin’
Hopin’ it might be you
Foolish...

Foolish am I
To fall for you this way
But I like the way you make me feel
I like the way I smile when I think of you
The warmth I feel...so nice

But can this be true?
Could it ever be real?
I don’t know... I hope so...
I wanna explore more of you
But I might be wrong
To ever think
It could ever come to that
But there you are...
Always on my mind
Do you like me?
Foolish...

Foolish am I
To wish...
But there you are
Always on my mind
My perfect Stranger...

I just can't understand why ....

Why?

by Mandi  Erickson

I just can't understand why you have to make me cry.
Hurtin' me so bad, makin' me want to die.
Why do you cause tears to fall from my eyes?
You treat me so bad compared to past guys!

I just can't see why you treat me that way,
Then come around makin' up the very next day.
That's messed up, but that ain't all I have to say.
You're going to sit here and listen, even if it takes all day!

It tears me down when you choose your friends over me.
Is there anything I can do to make you see
Just how much you really do mean to me?
Don't you understand, my heart is locked, but you have the key.

You always do stupid things then act like you care.
Why is it when I need someone, you're never there?
Tell your friends I need you too; they have to share,
Why do I get set to the side? You know that ain't fair.

I don't know why I put up with your stuff.
We both know darn well that I've had enough!
I still don't know why with you I stay,
Just to put up with your stuff, day after day.

So with this pen, I pour out my heart.
These are my feelings... not just a piece of art.
I'm letting you go, I've said my part.
If we break up, remember, you and your friends tore us apart.

A Smile is the prettiest thing you can wear!

You can leave. I'll remember you because ...

If you're scared ...
