halfway

meet me halfway

towards where

the end is but

a distant speck

and the beginning

is but a past

long finished

only to

grasp that

halfways

are meer

illusions of past

and future

hopes and

dreams

we hope to grasp

in our feeble minds

halfway

like fresh air
breathed in
to sustain life
you made me complete
in more ways
have i been whole
time ticks
limited
until my last
intake
of air
i breathe
only
you
my life
until our paths
cross
probably somewhere
where
all that's left
is air
love
forever
i'll be
by your side
my heart
you did
take
it's yours
forever
to hold
to have
to break

who i want to meet...

fill me in
with details
on how life
and love
intertwine
combine
mix
then disappear
like sudden
inhibitions
and thoughts
of both
you and me
that we could not
comprehend
nor understand

fill me in
with how
i should live
my life
on the streets
on to work
rushing everyday
like ants
working
but without
purpose
direction
only yearning
to earn
my own space
to live
survive
only to eat
my own space
and be left
empty

fill me in
with what you think
of me
of you
of dreams
of beauty
of loss
of pain
we all feel

fill me in
and let me hear
your thoughts
mangled
deep down
inside
that brain
allow me to grasp
that you
and me
are alike
in more ways
than one

fill me in
that i may not
feel alone
that i may
feel
more
than what i am
and that you
may be
more than
what
you could be

fill me in
with the
real
you
that i
too
may be
filled

the meantime girl

Nothing about here was beautiful
she did not catch your eye
She was just someone who listened
When someone said goodbye
She was there to cheer you up
make you smile, when you're blue
She did not make your heart melt
You did not see through
She loved you more than a friend
But to you she was just like that
The ordinary girl who was not so thin
Nor was she too fat
Then a day came when she thought,
she saw a glimmer of hope
she thought there was a chance
You no longer mope
You smiled coming her way
A radiance that was shown
And you told her about a girl
A girl you had just known
Told her the girl's face
Was like that of an angel
Truly heaven sent
God's gift to mankind
he beauty he lent
She held back the tears
As you talked still
Realized you wouldn't see through
Perhaps you never will
She was just an ordinary girl
Just an adivser, just a friend
It's your loss if you don't realize
She won't be there till the end

Scribo ergo sum

Scribo ergo sum. I write therefore I am.
Some people write to gain acceptance.
I write because I believe that there is a power in writing that could influence and change.
That though my writing may diverge on a road different from what others tread, they could make the reader think. Basically about himself, and the life he is leading.
I write not to make you believe, but for people to give themselves a chance into life itself.
I may sound entirely superficial.
I may sound different from others that have come before me. But I believe that only those who dare to be different make all the difference in the world.
I can insignate change.
Therefore I write.
