"America the Lost"

The genius of terror

the power of one

the secure insecurity

the doubt of loyalty

Life isn't fair

Fair isn't what we asked for

Life isn't safe

Safe isn't what we asked for

Life isn't nice

Nice isn't what we asked for

Choice

is what we asked for

is what we are given

is what makes us human

Choice is what makes us fall

Weak

because we won't accept our responsibility

because we won't admit our wrongs

Weak because strength is too

HARD

We have chosen terror

We have chosen power

We have chosen insecurity

We have chosen doubt

What have we chosen?

Terror

Because we feel invincible

Power

Because we fake self-sacrifice

Insecurity

Because we defy safety

Doubt

Because we don’t believe

America the Free

America the Brave

America the Lost.

"Windows to Your Soul"

As a picture can say a thousand words
So do your eyes as they reflect the world

I see in them pain, love, joy and sorrow
And a wonder for what will come
tomorrow

Tears come and fall from the same place
Either from cries of laughter or what fears
you'll face

One thing's for sure, they never tell lies
Emotions appear for whom you love or
despise

They masquerade in colors blue, brown, or
green
But no matter the shade its passion is seen

For the eyes are the windows to your soul
What you thought was hidden wil be open
for all to know.

Working on it...

Hey Daniela here,

Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about the blog, I'm actually having problems posting some of the writings up. Some poems have specific structures and blogger keeps changing it so I'm trying to get the poems on here as they were originally meant to be. It's kind of tricky sometimes! But I'll get it! Thanks for reading!

God Bless,

Daniela
