Favorite Quote:
"He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you."
— Bob Marley


Break the chains,
Clean up shattered pieces.
Set yourself free,
Don’t cross over to debauch.

Don’t speak words of fire.
Don’t speak words of ice.
Don’t dagger a soul,
With your merciless eyes.

You venom shoots into them with poison.
Your eyes dig down deep.
Their inner fight is burrowed under,
Willing them not to cry.

Don’t torture a pure soul,
For what have they done to persecute you?
Don’t cross their walls,
If you aren’t willing to face an inner death.

Did you break the chains?
Do you still speak words of malice?
Did you cross their walls?
Are you still chained?
Do you see what you do to them?
Are you still chained?

I write because it is a passion and I write what I feel is important at times. I am hoping most of get what this poem is about.
