Silent Shadows
Slim silhouette’s sliver in the light.
While they disappear into the night.
Whispering their secrets onto the ground.
Some with a deceiving ferocious bite.
Look over your shoulder and be cautious for fright.
It follows every move with disdain and delight.
You cannot run, you cannot hide.
For it will reflect every true sight.
Fear not as it protects and wanders right.
The shadow guides as good intentions might.
Identical, with soft differences.
Find the one without a fight.
Follow the path that prepares for flight.
To space it flies as high as a kite.
Silent shadows speak the unspoken.
And will even come alive in the moonlight.

Even though sometimes I feel lonely, I'm never alone. That sounds creepy, but really it's comforting. I know I have people looking out for me above and know that my friends and family will always be there if I need them. To the people who don't have such a luxury I pray they will seek and find it. I haven't been blogging lately, mostly because I have been working on my books...notice the plural! I just started on book two! I spend a lot of time alone writing in this tiny little room. And it is hard sometimes to say no to doing this or that, but I am hoping that one day this will all pay off. I work best by myself and ever since I was little I have been emotionally independent, but I don't care who you are...everyone needs someone. Don't get me wrong...I love people and need to be around them, but I find the most peace in silence. But, every time I see my shadow, I know I'm not alone.
Emptiness
I look around at the passers by, smile and get nothing.
Desperately searching, waiting for something.
A blank stare.
People who don’t care.
The gravitation towards instant gratification.
A robot in motion.
Fulfilling it’s own notion.
With no regard for the rest.
You will definitely fail your test.
The satisfying of every urge.
The evil within yourself will emerge.
Neglecting to act.
Will be the death of you in fact.
Hello fallow.
Goodbye tomorrow.

It's an eerie thing to walk amongst strangers sometimes. People you will never get to know. Their stories will remain a mystery, which always makes me sad. I've noticed that as I've gotten older, the more and more people won't look you in the eye. I am guilty of this as well, but if we pretend that each other are not there, then we loose a very real connection with the world and each other. It is easy to label a stranger as a bad driver or a moody customer, but this makes them loose other titles that you don't know anything about. The moody customer may have recently been titled widower. If you think of everyone as being very complex, your connection will come to life. People are loosing a sense of responsibility to others. The responsibility to let someone get in front of them on the highway or if someone is being bullied to stop it from happening. If you take responsibility for yourself and others, you are linking the chains of change. You help someone and others follow suit. Bad behavior is contagious and so is good. The more we ignore each other, the more empty we become.
Sell Fish
It’s worth every penny to not be penniless.
Do whatever it takes, take whatever you can get.
Selling fish was his best bet.
Among the market, he charmed with his banter.
People flooded in with a canter.
He won’t do this, he won’t do that.
But, he will carry the fish until it breaks his back.
He juggled the fish in the air with a fake smile and cold scaly hands.
He gets mad when anyone ruins his plans.
It wasn’t just the money he craved, but the attention he was paid.
He would never stop selling fish because he doesn’t know how to be self-less.
The vendor across the street began to steal his thunder.
No longer did his fans reel in for hunger.
Now he’s broke and hooked into a blunder.
His head slumped down returning to his forgotten life with his tail tucked under.

Everyone is guilty of it, sometimes more than others. It's so easy to be selfish, that's why it's so bad. It's easier to do what you want than it is to do what someone else asks of you. But, the more and more you do what you want, the more and more others get disappointed in you. In response, you'll get this unsettling feeling. The more happy you try to make yourself with doing what you want, the more unhappy you will feel, which you may not even realize. As others notice this inevitable action in you, they will then expect it and in return you will continue to live up to their expectations. And of course the opposite is true, that if you only do what others want, then they will walk all over you. One of the hardest things in life to juggle is balance. And just like a person with an addiction (you do have have an addiction to pleasing yourself only or being a people pleaser) you first must realize you have a problem, then take baby steps to correcting it when you see you are falling back on bad habits. Think of yourself as a service to the wants and needs of others and your own and maybe that will help you tip the scale.
1. Giving up means you’ll never get where your going.
2. Sometimes we build walls to see if anyone cares enough to break them.
3. You are the way you are because that’s the way you grew up.
4. One of the hardest parts about chasing your dreams is finding the courage
to do it.
5. Fame dies with out of sight out of mind, money dies when you are buried, but
love is never ending.
6. Everybody is searching for who they are and what they believe in.
7. If God has given you a gift, you cannot claim it as your own because it was
a gift from HIM.
8. Relationships are like prison you’re locked up and marriage is throwing away
the key, so you’d better find someone that you can stand for a life
sentence.
9. Be who you are, but always strive to be the better version of yourself.
10. The hardest thing in life to juggle is balance.
11. You can’t ever win if you keep finding ways to fail.
12. Peace comes from realizing that we’re not so different after all.
