Is The Load I Carry
“You can’t skip chapters that’s not how life works. You have to read every line meet every character. You will not enjoy all of it. Hell, some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don’t want to read, you will have moments where you don’t want the pages to end. But you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours, don’t miss out.”(Pillow Thoughts II). Life is like a book. Some chapters are sad, some are happy and some are exciting, but if you never turn the page, you will never know what the next chapter has in store for you. Treat me like your favorite book. And stroke my spine delicately. Remember my tiny details. And all your favorite parts. Read me again and again and fall in love with my story. I will not lose my worth in a spirit of a curse. I’m not afraid to break free from this pathetic message in the bottom of a weary verse. I’m tired of trying, it’s time to reverse.

But I Cannot Make It
I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being”- Jackie Robinson. So, you want to be a human or citizen don’t let the hurt they have caused define your worth, rise above. I will not let their words push me down before I am taking advantage of my love. Don’t let them make you unhappy and give away your affection. Life lessons taught me, seek respect not perfection. You think this is the world and you are just a product of their environment, and you cannot make it. It will be inevitable that God just allows you to enjoy the moment. Stop being always available to people who are just there for you when it’s convenient for them. et me be clear, my love is unconditional but your presence in my life is not. The moment you prove that the value of me does not measure up to yourself worth, I’ll have no problem unconditionally loving the memory of you and moving on. If they walk away, let them go. If they don't value you enough to work through the hard times, they don't deserve all the good times. And you gotta read between the lines I’m searching for a way to heal all the last rhymes.

We will be together
Happiness is homemade. Dancing through the night, heart aflame like fireworks that never fade. “ For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness”-Ralph Waldo Emerson. You do not realize you are a lucky man. Thank you for your casual security. It’s not too late to change. Tired of you playing games. It’s no good to play when everyone is at war with you don’t have a single mate. No take over yourself when the feelings start to fade. You are not alone at the end of the day. When you think you got it all all the days I wished you stayed however, you misbehaved. Good things come to those who wait. The greatest of all that tomorrow does not forget to grow a heart like those. And you don’t have to give up time because you don’t get saved. It’s not worth it to lose your way. I’ll keep dancing through heartbreak, knowing joy will soon awake. I will find the strength I need to mend and remake. The times you thought were it wasn’t good enough for you to lose a break.

Lonely I Fall In Love
Love is a rollercoaster you just have to find the one who will ride it with you. I don’t have that… I'm drowning in tears, searching for a lifeline to hold onto. Relationships are challenging they make you even grow or walk away! If you are not mature enough to say I am sorry or to find solutions to fix problems or selfish or keeping your eye out for the next big thing you will fail! But if you put in the effort stay loyal honest true and try success will be met. It seems like at this point this is not possible anymore…seems the other person isn’t willing to be that committed or only committed on THEIR terms. Only one is truly invested in that idea and it’s draining when it’s not reciprocated. Couples give up too easily nowadays. No one wants to love and be loved anymore. It’s hard to find a good man who will listen. The guy usually doesn’t match that. Good words don’t match his actions. My other half is giving up and it’s been the roughest 3 weeks of my life. A real relationship is a team effort where you hold each other’s hands through the storm. That’s the way all real relationships should be. Not going to happen these days no respect is given which is why people prefer to stay single. I want this so badly but, I feel like I am fighting a losing battle because he has given up already. It’s hard to find someone who cares enough to keep trying.

Fashion Is Life
How would we see life if everything was black and white without color? Black and white are known to be traditional colors that are dull. Living in black and white means the same old, daily routine and it's important to accept change and be open to endless possibilities. The article titled "The Impact of The Fashion Industry: You Can't Have Fashion Without Victims" takes a sociological point of view, fashion is about the "collective ways of making connections with others and, at the same time, marking differences" (Tronetti, 2009). Fashion does require change which is not readily accepted. The author believes that "fashion was and still is a matter of popularity and taste and is constantly changing and evolving" (Tronetti, 2009). When it comes to the fashion industry and many other industries, only the best will survive through a modern type of natural selection. It is the creativity behind the designs that flourish in the industry. Fashion trends tend to repeat themselves throughout a period. What was popular back then, may come back today in a more modernized form. That is why I have realized that 'fashion is life'. As a former student who majored in fashion design, I have learned that fashion impacts everyone whether they like it or not. This implies that the fashion industry is black and white where people either take a positive or negative view. There is no happy medium. From my standpoint, the following article will take a sociological point of view.

And a Wish For Today
The Poignant Poppies are all but scattered around.With glittered eyes, I'll paint my hopes on the ground.So the slow downward sunset gleams. And the only weapon that counts is to hear from the ground. These sad realities haunt me when I am on my knees. Will I ever find peace of mind and pretend that I am free. The least I can do is to believe in myself and know I will get through. I tried to be strong but, my strength was taken away. I’ll chase my dreams leaving footprints behind. Only a few sweet memories to remind me that I am not alone. In a land of peace only the strongest of seas. Through the storm, I will hold onto hope as my guiding star.

I Was So Easy To Love
The unheard musings of a wounded child. There are scattered pieces of my heart, I can’t deny the pain. I try to hide the hurt, but it's etched in every vein. I wear a smile but, inside I ache. I am broken. I am drowning in despair because I can’t be repaired. I wear my emotions on my sleeve like rain.

The False Prophet
When we can’t find answers within or through guidance we look to a prophet. We ask for help because we believe they are the answer we seek. We see a holy queen but, she can’t see the truth in our eyes where we defy the rules being a rebel, defying norms, because fear is just a concept, shining like a comet.

But Now I feel Alone
Fake people are the worst. Those who pretend to be your friends but, don’t stick around during hard times when you need them to comfort you. They try to manipulate you with bribes. “ I will do a favor for you ONLY if you do this in return”. I gave my heart, but you left it to burn. I trusted you but, you left me hurt with your lies. You are nothing but a thief, you’re killing me inside. You don’t know what you’ve done to me you can’t even give me a helping hand. How would you feel You left me broken aching inside from your betrayals. Fake people smile and pretend to like you but, don’t have your best interests in mind. You have played your games and dealt a sly hand. I saw your vision alone around me once more I could not stand. Envision me if you do you’ll never change yourself.

With Someone To Love Me
Fall Is in the air. The winds of change is everywhere. In this world so vast, I’ll find love’s fresh air. Soon I will be watching colorful leaves falling down. However, I am at despair because I don’t want summer to end. Though I will not leave it all behind. I am out for the weekend my heart is on the run and I am not alone. I am still drinking my margarita while people are obsessed with pumpkin spice. We are approaching Octoberfest with beer festivals and haunted houses but, I got that summertime sadness. I will suffer when the days are over. I missed out on the beach. I dream of sunlight on my skin, a taste of paradise. Lost in this madness. I got a pocket full of regrets and bad times. I don’t think I can take it anymore but, I will not leave my front door. Nights are getting colder. Time to warm up by the fireplace. It is cuddle season. I’ll find my way out of this loneliness, I’m bolder. In the darkness, I am reaching out for a shoulder. I am searching for love not just a cuffing season. I want a deep affection that can not be broken. I will pray that you are here to stay. In this embrace, my heart finds solace. Floating on a cloud, my hope takes flight. I close my eyes and sleep in memories by night.

I Am The One You Seek
Reading opens the mind. It is time to take a breath of new life. Floating on cloud nine, adventure in the starry abyss. It is an escape outlet from reality. One impulse reality has the power to move itself has you are unplugged. Escaping the gloom, I soar into this fresh, new atmosphere. Right now, I can see the winds of change that will blow my mind of lies. I have found the relief where I can travel to a place I can be. To the other side, beyond the gates of time into the vortex of another universe full of vibrant energy, laughter, and joy. There is no choice when you have no voice. Embrace the rush, let excitement flow through all your possibilities. The time has come to step into another dimension where you control your own story. Jump into the unknown, harness your glory. You have the opportunity to choose the way you live your life and live your dreams without regrets now is the time to be alive.

It Isn’t What It Seems
Don’t quit, never give up. Don’t hold back. I wish I could rewind and press pause.I’ll leap through time and overcome my flaws. It is a miracle that I will face forgotten wrongs. Hold on to your dream and your life will come to an end. I'll soar high and never pretend. I'll mend all the mistakes and make them amends.
