Creative Writer Meets The World

The truth about love is that it isn’t always easy, That there is going to be heartache even in a relationship, No matter how happy you are, You are going to have sadness even when deeply in love, It might not be quite what you are expecting what it could be, Your heart might ache because you are missing your loved one, Your heart might ache because they have to go out of town without you, You might have sadness because of how much you deeply love them, Love is something that can be confusing, It can be something that is wonderful, It can be something that is beautiful, It can knock you off your feet, It can bring you back up, It can bruise you, It can shake you, And turn you all around, The truth about love is that there are days, When nothing else seems greater than the emotion, The feeling that you feel, When you feel that you are breathless, That you don’t have the words to express, That your heart keeps skipping a beat, The truth abo...

This trading of one thing for another, This giving up the truth for a lie, This giving up a wish for failure, This giving up a dream for heartache, This giving up our lives for nothing of value, We keep going on and on, We believe that if we trade our time, And keep climbing that ladder, That somehow it will make us happy, That somehow all our desires will be fulfilled, We think if we keep sacrificing our families, To keep busy doing so many things, And not spending time with each other, That we will make it all okay in the end, We keep thinking if we sacrifice our marriages, For the next rang on the ladder, For the next level of success, For the next level of gold and silver, For the next level place, That we can make it up in the end, If we keep pretending that we know better, Than that of the person who created us, Than that of the God who knows us, That if we keep trading one thing for another, That it will make everything okay i...

This world, This place, This time, Fighting for people’s freedom, Even if they do not seem to get it, Fighting for the country that I love, Being away from my family, Being away from my love, Being away from what I have considered home, The trenches are deep, The bombs are loud in my ears, The flag that I know is long away from me, The freedoms I fight for seem to be losing ground, And here I am fighting this war, Not being able to be there for my loved ones, As they go through the heartaches of our nation, Will they still love me as much as I love them? Those that I have left behind, Will my kids still remember me? Will they still want me? Will they still need me? The gear is heavy along with my heart, Being in this world, I see heartache and hardship, And I am grateful to come from where I am, But it seems my world that I come from is falling apart, And people are stopping to forget what we are fighting for, They are forgetti...

What they don’t know can’t hurt them, What they don’t see can’t harm them, What they don’t realize can’t shake them, What they don’t know about me can’t change them, Outgoing personality on the outside, Inside my voice seems to be screaming to come out, I keep on smiling because it is what I know, I keep on pretending everything is just fine, There are a dozen things going through my mind, But will they still accept me if they knew them? I keep on trying to take leaps of faith, But it is so hard sometimes, To overcome things of your life, I pretend that I am fine, That I don’t need what I need, I just keep smiling anyway, Because my fear of letting people in, My fear of letting others inside my world, Of really talking about what is in my heart, And on the depth of my soul, Many different thoughts, Many different reasons, Many different times I want to scream, But instead I keep on hiding, What they don’t know can’t hurt them, What...
