A Moment's Weakness

Hezekiah Jackson

I looked in the mirror Guess what I seen Most expect good looks The person they want to be Or the person by popular opinion In my mirror I saw the monsters within That fights desperately for control Surrounded by darkness The voices of death That says give in Give in to the hurt The pain that weighs on you The fatigue from pushing thus this far Give in and I can make it better The relief will overwhelm The calmness will beset you I looked in the mirror Guess what I seen I saw a person Who given in to the opinions The charismatic thoughts of others The negativity The darkness Wasn't around him No this time He was the darkness A person can only hold but so much Accept I'm sorry But so many times Before recognizing the feeling I need to fight back The frustration of giving so much Yet never recieving Working without a reward Something so easily found in my darkness Here I found happiness I haven't felt in a long time My anger that was over storage Gone Yet when I look in the mirror I realize I lost This war within my being Was to keep darkness from entering The battles against the words give in That's meant to be fought day to day Now when I see myself I see my failure A reminder that instead of fighting Keeping my light alive I blew it out For what was simple In the moment A moment's weakness

Дитинство

Ruslana

Минає час, минуло й літо, І тільки сум залишився в мені. Не повернутись вже в дитинство, У радості наповнені, чудові дні. Я пам'ятаю, як не переймалась Та навіть не гадала, що таке життя. Просто ляльками забавлялась, І не боялась небуття. Любити весь цей світ хотіла і літати, Та й так щоб суму і не знати. І насолоджувалась всім, що мала. Мене душа моя не переймала. Лиш мріями своїми я блукала, Чарівна музика кругом лунала. І сонечко світило лиш мені, Навіть коли були похмурі дні. І впало сонце за крайнебо, Настала темрява в душі моїй. І лиш зірки - останній вогник, Світили в океані мрій. Тепер блука душа моя лісами, Де вихід заблокований дивами, Які вбивають лиш мене. Я більш не хочу бачити сумне. Як птах над лабіринтом, Що заплутав шлях, літати. И крилами над горизонтом, Що розкинувсь на віки, махати. Та не боятись небуття, Того що новий день чекає. Лиш знову насолоджуватися життям, Яке дитинство моє знає.

Question 1?/Вопрос 1?

shadowlinxxx morgan

The girl that questions everything,is a girl that needs many answers.She wanders the earth trying to find the person that can answer her many queries.Everthing she writes has a hidden question that makes her heart ache and her head hurt.She spends days writing sad story's that she forgets her sad life.Shes in a painful story that never ends,she's in a story that writes itself.The pages in the book were filled ever so easy,because her heart wrote it for her.She spent her life being afraid,that's what made it so boring.Finding her passion was easy,but fulfilling it was the hardest part of all.Her writing may be boring and sad,but it's what keeps her sane. "She had all the questions in the word,and he had all the answers." Lillian xx
