there comes a time
where you just don't
know anymore.
you lay completely numb
thoughts running through
your head.
nights stay still
and the air remains thick.
old laughs and old faces return,
next to broken bones and needles.
a pile of broken glass and
words that are impossible to hear.
torn hearts and chapped lips
painted golden,
fading behind a dusty dream.
there are words that simply
cannot be understood,
even from the lexicographer.
and i'm sorry,
i hope you know
these words just cannot
come out right,
not matter how hard we try.

Like my other piece, this is not a style of poem that not everyone enjoys, but this is my style and I hope you can accept that. It is all me.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.
