Two people in one,
one happy, one sad,
Two sides of me,
one mad and one glad.
There's only one side
I try to let show;
my feelings inside
the others don't know.
I'm two people in one,
as strange as that sounds,
the real me inside
no one has found.

There is a storm in my heart
It tears my inside apart
I am bleeding and I am hurt
Like a wingless little bird
Then it turns dark
And for a moment I see
The pain that was inside of me
And on a journey I embark
In search of answers
In search of truth
In search of understanding
In search of you
My guiding star in darkness
Like a little stream in the desert
Everything about you seems flawless
But that is what causes the hurt
Your perfect features do not belong to me
You do not deserve my chains
You need to live and see
What it means to be free
So spread your wings and fly away
For I can not fulfill your dream
But if you should fall one day
I'll guide you and be that little stream
So go and discover it all
And know that wherever you go
Whatever you do and might feel
The only thing you need to do is call

I wasn't looking for it, but some how it came, and found me.
Before I had a chance to react, it wrapped it's warmth around me.
Like a thief in the night, it has come and gone.
I have nothing, but that vision to reflect upon.
Until chance comes again, I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind.
All day long, in my mind, I walk love's lonely street.
Like a tired man that longs to sit, but just can't find a seat.
Then, there it was again, up ahead, to light my way.
Only to vanish once more, just like all my yesterdays.
Until chance comes again, I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind.
I don't know where I'm going, and where I've been isn't much to speak of.
I just know my heart is always showing, leading me to some far off love.
Just when I give up the fight.
Here it comes to make the bad things good, and the wrong things right.
Only to leave me lost and lonely again.
Drifting away as my thoughts dance upon the wind.
It has a name, I think they call it friend.

•Stopped just LISTENING to a friend’s problems and started actually CARING about them. Believe me; they’ll be able to tell the difference.
•Said hello to a random stranger. Some people might give you a weird look, but you never know when you’re missing out on meeting someone amazing because of words unspoken.
•Walked away from an argument before they say something they’ll regret later. Once you set your mind to it, it’s not hard to be the bigger person.
•Stopped caring about what everyone else thinks. If you have time to care, then you’re not really living life.
•Didn’t believe what people who DON'T MATTER say. They’re just trying to hurt you, so don’t bother listening.
•Expressed what they feel. Even anger and hurt are better than no emotion at all.
•Apologized when they know they’re wrong. Pride can’t keep you company on a cold night.
•Allowed themselves to love. It’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
•Complained about their lives less. Everyone has problems, some worse than others, but complaining never solves anything.
•Tried a little harder to achieve their dreams. Because without dreams, what else are we living for?
•Helped someone even when they didn’t ask for it. Sometimes two simple little words like “Help me” becomes the most difficult thing to say.
•Prayed. It doesn’t matter what you say, how you say it, or what god you say it to, as long as you have enough faith left to care and care enough to have faith.
•Just laughed. Laughing is so much more important than we give it credit for.
•Were a bit more optimistic. We make our hell, our heaven too, with how we act, and what we do.
•Had a best friend. Friendship is a precious gift...try not to lose it.
•Moved past the bad things. There are times in life when there isn’t a solution or an explanation, and we have no other choice but to, Just. Move. On.
•Shared their wisdom. The next generation needs guidance just as much as you once did…even if they won’t admit it.
•Stopped with prejudice. Everyone deserves a chance, so give them one.
And maybe YOUR life would be a little brighter if you…
•Stopped sitting here reading this list and actually went out in the world and made a difference. Be worthwhile, make an impact!

I've learned that sometimes people
aren't going to trust you, and it may be
for no reason at all. sometimes, people
just judge you on what they think you
will do, on who they think you are. and
there's really nothing you can do about
it. but just remember one thing, they're not
cheating you, they're cheating themselves.

Being grateful for the little things which life has to offer? We as a society sometimes miss out on the most important everyday things. Sometimes we look at the "bigger picture" when the answer is right in front of us. Too much importance is placed on materialism; owning the biggest house, driving the best car, wearing designer clothes, and so on......while these things are nice, they are not everything.
Everything to me is family, my spirituality, "true" friends, and simple things like a gentle breeze, a blooming flower, a smile from my grandbaby, laughter, nature, taking long walks, sitting near the ocean (Atlantic), reflection, counting my blessings, and showing gratitude. Many times we take things for granted without realizing it. I've come to realize this about myself and my entire outlook is better. To those who read this, please consider this as my "words of inspiration."
Thanks
