You are worth it, don't lower your standards
But what good is it to know that if you're the only one?
What good are standards when you're old and alone?

The right one will come along, be patient
Yet we are ships in the night, passing by with no light
And when we reach out, no one notices

What drives you?
I yearn for it
I burn for it
To be more than I am
Faster, stronger, smarter
Wisdom most of all.
Does it take more than a will
To grow and become greater still?
Times will come and go
But you are the star of your show
So yearn for it, burn for it.
Become more than you are.

There are many that I have chased
And many heartbreaks I have faced
Yet I often wonder was it me or them?
Who is at fault when hearts don't ascend
Is it just a chemical trick some master?
Or my fault it ends in disaster
Yet I do not know a safe bet
To face the next with no regret

Sadness cannot last forever
So take heart in your endeavor
For the pain of growth is but a part
Of the good works that heal your heart
And as you face the trials head on
You will find the pain is soon gone
Leaving you with confidence
To go on the offense
When your joy is lost.

My heart wishes for another
In whom I can take cover
For as I look left and right
All I see are reasons to fight
As the life I tried to build
Falls apart unfulfilled
But this has been my normal
So with no comfort found external
I dig deep to find my grit
As I go through it.

The one I never wanted to hurt
I did betray
And for that failure
I can never repay
But before you say it's alright
I know things aren't ok
So I sit here crying every night
As I drown in my dismay
This is not the end
My place here I will defend
That cost is cheap for this prize

Life is not where I want
Many regrets do haunt
I may put them on display
But it is not pity or comfort
That I want for all my hurt
But rather this I say
If I sing of my pain today
And it brings you a brighter tomorrow
I'm glad to put it on display
Showing strength you can borrow

Sleep eludes me once again
This is truly my life's bane
For those that know, they can relate
It's the thing that robs my sanity of late
But to those that avoid sleep as a trial
Let me tell you, there is no denial
A night missed is not made up easily
So treasure sleep greedily.

I am free and confident with my joy
But my pain I hide like shame
It comes and goes like all things
Yet today it is all, everything stings
So if you ask how things are
I will deflect, ignore, hide my scar
For I'd rather be alone with it today
Then let you become sad in any way.

Days come and pass as seasons and years
Many of them have laughs or plenty of tears
But one thing I have learned as things go
Time does not wait, it keeps the flow
That is a blessing in times of trouble
But when you are with those you love,
Cherish those times double.

Today I think of a friend from long ago
We use to talk all day and I felt so free
Because no matter what I said, they smiled so
I felt like nothing I did would be held against me.
I remember those times with a smile to this day
And I hope that life finds them well in every way.

Winter snow on an open field
Shimmers brightly when moon revealed
The gentle fall of flakes is sweet
Bringing winter's calming treat
But there cannot be just one side,
From winters bitter wrath we hide.
When the cold chills you to the bone
I hope warm hearts are waiting at home.

A Tweet a day is the goal I set
And for me poetry is a safe bet
So I hope you enjoy my little rhymes
And they bring you strength in bad times
Or joy when it is the thing you need
But whatever the flavour, I hope your soul it feeds
And in them, my soul you find.

Sleep eludes me like the wisdom of time
My thoughts flow with no rhythm or rhyme
Calming rain flows through my speaker
But my worries fail to get any weaker.
So to conquer the fears that haunt,
I will work towards something I want,
And my dismay, will become strength today.

Gunna be reposting my poetry from tweeter, although a lot might not fit in the 300 character limit. We cross that road when we get to it.
