Patterns of Life
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope.
Michael Jackson
Glass

It’s hard too look forward,
When there’s a mirror in front of you,
Reflecting all of your past in front of you.

It’s hard to think positively,
When your mind is a box,
Not letting anything escape,
Everything kept pent up in there.

Waiting,
For one day,
When you just won’t be able to keep it in.

-It’ll shatter the glass.©

Light

If I had one wish, just one
It would be for your approval.
For you to notice me like you do the sun.
To have a chance with you
to show how I would treasure my jewel.

I wanna let you know I’m right there,
I won’t let you fall I’m behind you I am prepared.
You wanna see paradise take my hand I’ll take you everywhere.

Shining

Who is this strange girl I saw just now,
She seems to break into my heart,
Even if I don’t Allow.
Everything about her seems to attract me,
A feeling that seems sweeter
Than a mother’s touch.

She has magic in those enchanting eyes.
One look is enough
To send my heart into flight like a bird.
It seems a star is walking this Earth,
Shining gracefully to take away my breath.

As she slowly walks,
The Earth seems to move.
Dancing to wake me,
To let me know of the angel on Earth.

Seeing this angel,
Even the stars seem to wink.
Every night,
She takes control of my dreams,
Like a god in control of the universe.

I think of giving her a flower,
Hour after hour.
Then I wonder,
Can a flower be given to a flower?

What should I give her, to let her know?

My heart I cannot give,
For she is stealing it.

Fate has its own plans for life,
Only time will tell,
If she will be my wife,
Be my girl and me her man.

-Live upon this Earth I shalt not,
  If by my side thou art not.©

Hopeless Dreams

If only it could only be,
That you could be here
to talk to me.

To tell me of your whole day,
of how it all went your way.

We could talk of the weather too,
or whatever subject brought up by you.

We’d dance around the honest things,
and side step all that truth may bring.

We’d skirt the issues of meanings deep,
And why it is I still can’t sleep.

We could talk about what you saw on T.V.,
Anything other than of you and me.

Oh but if only you were here,
We could laugh and joke while I hid my fear.

I’d paste on that smile for you to see,
To make you think nothing’s wrong with me.

That all was right within my soul,
That I had it all under control.

Oh but if only it could only be,
That you were here right now with me.

-I’d want to tell you,
 Of how my heart blazes new.©

We stopped looking for monsters under our bed when we realized they lived inside of us.
Mario Angel Manriquez
Silent Expressions

I’ll burn the stars
I’ll bring life to our souls.

I promise you I’ll drag back the past,
Twist it, change it,
Take the right road.

Shatter the pain,
Face the impossible,
And make it turn into hope.

For your heart shines in my life, 
Passions burn alive,
But drown as a wasted dream.

Your eyes speak silent words,
Telling me of the purest heart,
Which lives without a care;

Fearlessly, Shamelessly.

-Mine however, loves hopelessly.©

Arise

Don’t look down, Don’t bow down.

Break the chains of your mind. Look forward always, And charge through.

Burn the past, Leave it in ashes. Show this moon You can be your own goddamn sun.

Lift your arms And straighten up. You are all you need, Show the world.

Navigate the oceans of life. Look forward always, And don’t turn around.

As you stand, Rise to your fullest. In with the new you, Scold away the old. Enter now, never exit.

-A.R.I.S.E. now.©
