Inexplainable

As a writer you may not always know how to express something simply because it's inexpressible 

When you go through a change in your life and finally wake up

You realize everything that has happened was just a process to bring you to this point in life now and not everyone will see it but when you do you'll never experience something as big and real as that

Knowing and seeing things in a different way makes you more at peace with the things that happen in life and knowing things that simply you thought were never there you now see and carries you away in to a different life

Another breath

When you take a breath

Take like it's your last

You'll never know

Give thanks for another second 

Embrace the sunrise 

Love the homeless

Forget about yesterday

Smile because there's no reason to frown

Don't let anyone bring you down

But lift them up

Play in the rain

Get burnt in the sun 

And enjoy every season that passes

Meet new people

Make new friends 

Don't be afraid of what's out there

It's not what's out there but what's in here

Inside you 

That's your life

Make memories

And don't live in regret 

Don't forget 

But remember every thing in life is lesson

Never stop expanding 

And never forget

That Every morning you wake up 

You were granted another breath

Instead of death

Life's meaning

Seems so often I'm searching for my meaning 

In life that is

What am I here for and how do I reveal my destiny and my future

Everyone has a plan and a present and past

When someone has gone through so much how can the holes be refilled and made whole again

Scars carried like trophies physically and mentally remain a constant reminder of pain

What does one do when they have a blank canvas mind

All previous dreams dead as I feel dead my self 

How too move pass this storm is my bearing struggle

Such heavy weight I have carried and traveled with

No way to let go or lighten the load

I feel no pitty

Some choose to run and block out reality

But I still wake up everyday and see truth staring back  in the mirror

Reality isn't pretty and neither is facing it 

But we as humans can't run forever

Eventually life covers it's tracks

And sets a new trail

Temptation will follow on this new journey 

And I'll let my heart lead in this next conquest

Forever remembering the things that made me fall 

This time Will be different  

For I am not settling for second best

A Fallen Sleep

Fast to dream
yet slow to wake
my baby has fallen asleep on me

My eyes stretched wide open
while hers so peaceful now rest at ease

So I sit and I wait
For her sleep is not mine to take

Broken Free

trapped by plastered walls
I see straight  through
my eyes lead me right back to you

fond moments progress
feeling relieved
I have drawn a rest

when I am able to forget
such troubled stress

what my brain once had suffered with



By Jonathan Grant McElroy

Loved other

what we have is worth so much more
and is why not being their makes me so mad
 I miss my arms  wrapped so tight around you
 but ill be back soon baby so don't be sad
 these emotions I feel for you
they are just a few
 that my heart so rapidly began to spew
I long for your sweet kiss and familiar touch
 dreams of you with
memories we made
 wait for me baby if its not asking too much
 your a beautiful rose that never fades
 and ignite this vibrant fire
 so bright inside
  I can not hide
 and every time  sitting
 while blankly gazing up at the ceiling
 a smile appears across my face
because I know
I have found my one in a million

Memories

Memories

Memories are like leaves

they grow

fade

and eventually

slowly pass away
