They Never Told Us

They told us to face our fears

But they never told us that

fear was just a mask and the face hiding beneath it was failure

They told us to chase our dreams

But they never told us

why our dreams were running away from us

They told us that time flies

But they never told us that time has broken wings

They told us to fall inlove

But they never told us that love was a bottomless pit

They told us to take a leap of faith

But they never told us that faith was the fall

They told us to reach for the mountain top

But they never told us that

the peak was nothing but gray skies and fog

They told us to keep moving forward

But they never told us about the road ahead

They told us to live life to the fullest

But they never told us that

life was impossible to be filled

They told us about the goal

They told us about the prize

They told us about the finish line

But they never told us how terrifying the journey is

They told us all of these

But they never told us

about the ugly truth that lies beyond

Happy Birthday

I pray to whatever God is staring at me tonight

That you may be happy

Through heaven and hell

Through summer and winter

Through failure and success

Through famine and feast

Through drought and abundance.

To the one who slipped through my clumsy fingertips and left my foolish love

Know 

that I will always be here for you

Hoping that you may one day hold the world in your hand 

and 

release the burden of its weight from your shoulders

May your heart beat with endless joy 

and 

May your mind be filled with infinite rainbows

Happy birthday

I Didn’t Come Out From A Fairytale

I’m not a knight in shining armor

I’m a warrior 

with blood-filled chestplates and battle scars 

Im not a rich kid 
with blonde hair 
Riding a white horse 

you see

Forgive me

If i’m not the prince charming you expected me to be

I know you always dreamt of being a princess 

But I was meant to be a king
