Running through trees heavy steps to follow falling to my knees at the edge of a hollow Looking up to the sky feeling the end is here fail to breath, only cry heavy steps draw near Hands rest on my head shoves me to the ground feeling cold with dread hear the rabid hound Struggled at every turn battle through the day feelings pale, always churn anxiety fails to go away
Sitting together holding hands movie plays as glass drops sand skins caress, a lovers touch sit abreast, hearts flutter much A blanket adorned on legs across drifting away as counting sheep feeling connected or gain nor loss I wake to watch you as you sleep I listen to you every breath and gaze upon your beauty rest I dream of loving you till death In your arms I feel blessed As time passes you will see things are what they used to be In due time, as we share I see in you a hopeful stare. Laying together holding hands desiring, we can barely stand skins caress, a lovers kiss embraced in passions bliss Time together, in my arms Keeping you, close and warm your pleasure is how I feel at the edge and time to heal
When the end comes whenever it may be I know I had one person who cared about me Someone that knew me for a moment in time Someone I had feelings for and a great friend in kind Your caring and kindness Your love and understanding Your friendship and forgiveness Your generosity and patience Are things I will carry with me for the rest of my day I only wish that you could see my internal battle and dismay I don't excuse what I said nor do I excuse how I feel I never paled to run nor fled always there to lend an ear When the sadness turned to tear When the heartache turned to fear When the anger turned to pain You had a shoulder to lean on again Things have changed, as time pass I see the wear in your eye At times stern and sometimes glass in due company and strength not cry The kindred friend has come and gone I take the blame, it's mine you see I think about this at every dawn I know that you cared for me
Everyday is something new
Hurts much more each day
Always searching something true
I still can only pray
I can't take this anymore
You don't want me near
Deep in my heart you bore
You don't need me here
Words always leave a mark
they stain my very soul
Desiring a kindred spark
With this my hopes grow old
Feeling like a faceless one
I feel neglected everyday
Burning eyes left in the sun
With trouble finding the way
A voice inside, calls to me
It tells me who you are
Hopes lost, for us you see
Diminished hearts from scar
Time will come to walk away
And when the healing's done
Looking forward, to a new day
As a new life hast begun
Night-time stroll, eyes starved for light
Trees cast shadows, soldiers guarding night
Dark grey clouds floating in the sky
Walking a path, as life journeys by
The moon shines as stars do fade
Night falls as plans have been laid
Willow trees hang appearing to cry
Walking a path, as life journeys by
Glistening light on the oceans wave
Water dances against the shore pave
Wind drives the clouds in the sky
Walking a path, as life journeys by
Following light as it points the way
This path I take throughout my day
Night-time fades as the day will nigh
Walking a path, as life journeys by
As I look into your eyes
I see a future far away
I think about you all the time
It's sometimes so hard to take
Given a different situation
I would be with you today
But with our current obligation
Some things are hard to change
Absence makes the heart grow fond
Not knowing what our futures hold
We built and nurtured a friendly bond
Sometimes I feel I should be bold
The feelings I have for you
Will surely never fade
The love that I know is true
My heart beats with you each day
A future that is clouded now
Our distance creating pain
Wondering why and wonder how
it grows more each day
Closing my eyes, I see your face
Connected eyes as we embrace
Tracing my finger across your lips
A loving touch my fingertips
Sliding my hand behind your neck
Pulling you close, our lips connect
Kissing you soft, feeling your touch
My mind is lost, our love so much
Brush my palm, across your cheek
Open mouth but fail to speak
Hearts flutter and beat as one
Laying together beneath the sun
I hold you close, we fall asleep
Struggle to wake, but way too deep
With your head upon my chest
In the sand a sheltered nest
As we wake, I feel you breath
the rise and fall of your chest
Your hand rests upon my skin
As You softly kiss my chin.
Close you
Betrayed once again by
my feelings wanting more
but letting myself get too
deep unable to stop
myself when given the
opportunity to step back
and regain control.
Betrayed once more by
the people I care about
letting my shield down
trusting them without
reservation only to be
stepped on repeatedly
until I don't want to
feel anymore.
Betrayed once more by
the people I love, never
ending, not caring, not
feeling, pain is anguish
now, unable to stop the
pain until it consumes me
blacked heart, blinding
hate, not to trust or be
trusted...Just pain.
I failed to realize that in time
only a strong mind, can survive
sometimes it is hard to stay alive
with this blackened heart of mine.
The enemy he knows me well
he feeds on my every thought
every step of the way he fought
from now to the end I fell.
Looking inside myself, I see pain
always fighting trying to find a way
to fight off the enemy for one more day
seeking refuge I must maintain.
It's hard to know where I begin
constant battle scratching for more
to escape it's grasp a thing of lore
always fighting the enemy within.

A long trying journey,
a lost lonely road,
a dark deserted path,
I stumble toward home.
The wind beats on my face,
the cold chills to the bone,
walking in the pouring rain,
forever lost I will roam.
Standing on a winding hill,
gazing down the twisting road,
the path seams standing still,
I fell so far from home.
Tired, weary and all alone,
there is no pain for the dead.
The path I take is still unknown,
I travel the long road ahead.
When all feelings are felt Forlorn mournfully void When despair itself fades Remnant esperance destroyed How to seek for escape Lost alone in a cleft How to bind grievous scrape With no bandages left Where to turn in the dark With no pathway in sight Why ignite yet a spark Baring nothing but fright When invisible chains Still suppress any thought And when nothing remains Except vacuous naught To the void I surrender Have no strength after all Life has broken all splendor To endless emptiness I fall
Freedom Is Looming by rociobelindamendez, literature

Freedom Is Looming
Fear is an illusion of the ego.
The ego is a cage for your soul.
Your soul is your divinity, your limitlessness.
How do you cage a limitless being?
You don’t.
You manipulate them into keeping themselves hostage - using their own mind. Using their immense power against themselves.
If you can keep yourself captive, you can also set yourself free. Fact.
⠀
Before you can attempt your great escape, you have to first perceive the naked truth –– you hold the key, you built the door, and the walls get higher and denser every time you think those oppressive thoughts that they feed off of.

The foundation was built
There once was a girl in a flowing pink gown striding alone in the forest.
Miles and miles from her home town, picking flowers in natures own florist.
She wanted time alone to grow on her own, and feel the Earth beneath her.
She started off strong, but as time went on she became weaker and weaker.
Hours became days, days became weeks, and soon a month was complete.
Little Lilly lay across the soil in what seemed to be her deepest sleep.
A decade later a young, sad man entered this abandoned space.
Searching for somewhere to call his home, he stumbled across this place.
As night drew near, he lay on the Earth and noticed a flowing pink flo
I want to have a thousand different lives, right now.
I feel like I belong in so many things I've merely witnessed.
I want to travel to all the countries I feel connected with, and be part of its culture; while still remaining myself.
I want to dance to the music that moves my soul, in as many different places I possibly can.
I want to connect with people from around the globe that have felt what I'm feeling right now.
I want to breathe the air into my lungs, knowing I live somewhere I've never lived before, and it's home.
I want who I am to make sense in a dozen different languages.
I want to know streets intimately, when I've lived my
Sometimes we just don't
wake up soon enough
and we're left dreaming
by ourselves
with no one to shake us,
and when we do awaken
everyone is gone
and we're alone and empty,
wondering what we did wrong
and if it's too late to fix it.
And we scramble to our feet
like confused animals
and call out for help,
but all we hear in return
are echoes—
echoes and a voice inside
our heads saying, "You blew
it. You blew it and there's
no going back."
And we wonder if we should
even try anymore;
we wonder if maybe we should
just lie back down,
say "Oh well, I tried"
and drift off.
And maybe that was the plan
for us all along—maybe
we were

Got me all crazy.
You got me st-stuttering, my tongue fl-fluttering, spitting out cut-up-words––sputtering, before my mind can utter a decent mutter, i'm drownin' in––
visions of you, starting askew, rotated by my brain back into view, you're stripping down to your shoes, do it slower–– hey I like your tattoo, come on closer so we can do this taboo.
––Now turn around, lay on the ground, face up to me; while I bound you down, make you repeat a familiar noun, let me hear that fucking sound, as I grind round and round, oh look what I found.––
Say hello to my little friend, didn't take long for him to as
I retire from the crowd, feeling kinda strange.
This anxiety is drowning me, somethings gotta change.
I gotta get in my mind's soul and start to rearrange––
your confidence for my sadness, care for an exchange?
This loneliness has company,
Gaining on me subtly,
I'm handing out custody,
I'm left with nil––utterly.
I think about tomorrow; wasting my today.
Already feel broke, before I even gotta pay.
I hear what I wanna hear, not what you have to say.
Losing bits of self; as I try and make my way.
This stressing is messing––
maybe it's a blessing;
dressing up depressing.
Trying to fool me, as it's assessi
Sitting out, in the nights sky’s,
I see the moon, through your eyes,
A quiet calm, with you and me,
listening to the sounds, of the sea.
The moon shines on the sand,
as we walk hand in hand,
my love for you grows each day,
as I wish and hope you will stay.
I feel like, I’ve known you forever,
even though it’s, been a short time,
as we prepare to write the next chapter,
I hope that you will be all mine.
You bring me the happiness, I thought was lost,
you are the one I have been waiting for so long,
I care for you more than I can express in word,
I have given you my heart as we move onward.
The word Friends is
misused everyday, by
people that just don't
understand what it is.
A true friend is someone
that will be there when
you need them, always.
Allow you to be yourself
without fear of making
mistakes or being judged.
Give you advise, even if it
is not what you want to hear.
Cares about your feelings and
will share your sorrows, honestly
without reservation.
Sitting with my eyes closed
Every blink getting more labored
As my closed eyes tear up
Eyes open tears roll down my face.
Sitting among friends and family
Listening to the words of the father
Talking about a man he didn't know
Then a marine officer speaks of sacrifice.
Remembering this man in my childhood
The man that taught me, how to be a man
Hearing the sounds of people crying.
As brothers from every service salute him
With bullets into the air, then taps is
played by a lone soldier in the distance.
Through clouded eyes, seeing a picture
Of A young marine on top of a draped flag
Surrounded by the dark gloom of the day.
This man wa
