::Untitled Work by Brenna::


So critical, so complacent
No more sameness, in the difference


So honest, so abrassive
No longer makes sense


And it's fine
Everything must change

What is different is special, and gets the attention it so craves


It's good
To feel afraid

But not to make a spectacle out of being so brave


What a liar, what a thief
Joyfully committing crimes


What a beggar, what a fool
Repenting the same sin a thousand times


It's fine
Everything must change

The difference is pretending is not the same


You're right
I am afraid

But think about how I percieve the image you've made

::Matter (Hobart) by Brenna::


You are time, you are memories
The picture in my pocket that I carry with me
You are caring
You are giving
The reason I give my love so freely


It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter what you were
It doesn't matter what it was that may have happened before
All I have is your love
All I know is your faith
All there is, is what you are, is the love you gave
To me


You are faith, you are hope
The things that are forgiven
That I may never know
You are patience, and timeless energy
A lamb with a lions heart
The desert and the sea


It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter what you were
It doesn't matter what it was, that may have happened before
All I have is your love
All I know is your faith
All I know is what you are, is the love that you gave
To me


(original song lyrics)


::In a Dream::


I dreamt that I had died fifty times, each death was more horrific than the last.

One to fifty and fifty to one there was only a single person on my mind.

He was the one person who could have saved my very soul over and over again.

My ignorance and pride led me to reject his help fifty times, and fifty times I broke his heart

He offered me salvation and safety, instead I played the role of a fool

I died fifty times that night and awoke with a lesson learned

No more will I reject his hand, I will readily fall into his embrace with good faith

I will put all my trust in him and let him lead me to paradise, as he was willing to die for me



::In the Sand::



Sand castles in the sand, made by the future's own hands
Built by saltwater and plastic pails, all with a story or heroic tale
Most are a symbol of another place, where the world's problems leave no trace
Innocent souls can build their dreams, no need to hide behind a smoke screen
Not a single war zone is in its possession, no guns, no nuclear weapons
Only a place in the sand, where the impetuous are banned
This is my sand castle in the sand


::You Try So Hard::



You try so hard to please them all
Pushing those who care most aside
You try so hard to fight loneliness
It burns deep inside your soul

You are engulfed in your own pride
Obsessed with being better than the rest
You choose to hurt the ones you love

You try so hard

You abandon those who stayed beside you
Through the good and bad times
You stepped on toes to move up in the world
You try so hard to please them all

You try, and try, and try.

::Untitled Work by 'Simone'::


Restless thoughts beyond this pitch black hole, blind in the dark/
Endanger an imperviously, hollowed out core, hardened through the night//
Strangled essence of a battered temple, from black to purple to blue/
Thickening at every wisp of breath, gasping, stifled, subdued//
Listlessly prolonging the inevitable decline, turned steep along the way/
Erasing memories fatal to the light, keeping apparitions at bay//
Swaying between bliss and misery, stuck at limbos'doors/
Silent, waiting, behind this divider, inside achingly sore//

::Enter the Kitten::


Hey all! This is one of my many attempts to seem interesting on the internet. I was sitting around one day and I asked myself what could we use more of in the world? I had to really think about that for a while. I mean we could use a lot of things, but I wanted to do something that was meaningful, positive, and could possibly have an impact on at least one person. I've always liked to write so I thought that I'd do this other blog as a more structured type of creative outlet. I like to share, and I really do hope that I can encourage any of you to go ahead and share some of your original writing. It doesn't mean you have to necessarily have to submit anything to me, I just think sharing any creativity brings about more positivity. We could all use extra doses of affection. All right, with all that said and done I hope you enjoy the posts!
