"Sadness only exists to be pushed away out of your life making you stronger.
Anger only exists to push you to the edge testing you abilities to remain so strong.
Loneliness only exists to help you understand you’re not the only one.
The pain from it all is what makes you so strong,
Once you get used to it.
Happiness only exists to be kept. Makes you warm pushing you to the limit of being strong.
Joy only exists to make you smile taking you away from so much pain.
Intimacy only exists once you see that people who love you surround you.
The pain may hurt but in the end,
All there is,
Are happiness, love, friends and family, support, and hope?
It's a personal general in the war of life.
Getting you ready to fight with hope, pride and love.
Pain only exists to be thrown away once you have found happiness.
Only to remain a memory."

"I smile every night.
I smile every day.
I smile when I see you,
And I smile when I see them.
But deep down, I want to cry.
I cry going to sleep.
I cry waking up.
I cry when I leave you,
And I cry when I leave them.
But deep down, I want to laugh.
Because the tears I fear to show,
Are tears of happiness.
For every time I wake,
I think of you,
And I think of them,
And how I'm the luckiest in the world,
To have friends like you."

"Once loving now only hating,
The world that was once bright, now only dark.
Finding myself led to losing myself.
The light fading into darkness.
Who I once was changed for life;
By the every day pressure of drugs, alcohol, sex and smokes.
Death at every corner as rain of Gods mighty tears fall.
I once cared and smiled.
Once was happy and laughed.
Now only hating and crying in a dark corner of the subconscious;
I'm afraid of what may happen.
Why did they tease me?
Why did they exclude me out of everything?
Just because I was different?
Were they afraid?
Or jealous?
I lost everything and everyone I had ever loved.
But now its so hard because,
My old self is wanting out.
Wanting to laugh and care again,
For the new friends that I have made,
But fear is a battle with bloody results
That stops me from being who I want to be.
How am I to go back?
For the new friends I love.
When it was life itself that made me who I am now."

"The soldier, dying, pierced to the heart asked,
"Is this the end for me?"
And I answered "No".
"It's only the beginning. Though it is the end for your body,
You will continue on living in the hearts of others".
With this the soldier smiled and said his final words.
I was the only one alive to hear them.
He said,
"It hurts, being alone. But I guess that's life.
Though you feel so alone, you never really are.
I understand that now, that I was never alone because...
I had you (for a friend)".
I held his hands to give him comfort as he died.
His hand fell slowly down landing by his side.
He was a true soldier.
Just like you, and just like me,
A soldier battling the war to start them all;
He was a soldier of life and just like some,
He died of a broken heart."

"I sit on the grass wondering to myself,
'Where did life go? Where did it all go wrong?'
I thought for a minute as a gentle yet fierce wind blew past.
Then I realized it didn't go wrong for no reason.
It went wrong to teach me the troubles of life.
Taught me to be strong.
Once I learnt that for myself I stood up and looked down of the hill,
And saw you smiling back.
When you learn to deal with bad things and become strong,
Everything becomes better. Brighter.
When you learn good things do come to you.
I know this because when I was standing tall and proud,
I found you.
And in the end,
That’s what made me truly strong.
Standing proud side by side to the people most precious to me."

"The Light shines brighter as the Darkness fades,
From a Light that you lit in my heart.
Though so far you seem so close as my body starts to warm up.
I know that I love you and someday we will be,
Because I can't stop loving you,
Or else a beat of my heart will skip as I lose a part of my life.
The Light shines brighter as the Darkness fades,
From the light that you still keep burning brightly and fierce in my heart.
Though so far you seem so close since I know I'll never leave you -
That I love you and someday we will be."

"Three words that cannot be described,
Describe my feelings for you.
As each word leaves my lips,
Each word is meant truthfully with all my heart.

I love you.
I love you with all my heart for you are beautiful,
And I will never leave you for I will always love you."

"We hold hands tight and never let go,
As if guiding each other through the Dark keeping each other safe;
Because when we hold hands I feel so safe,
As if I were to fall then you would guide me back up to my feet.
When we look into each other's eyes,
It’s as if we are saying, "Everything will be alright.
I'll never leave you behind, just don't look back and stay with me".
Then we kiss and everything feels so right because it all makes sense.
I'll be there to guide you out of the Dark.
I'll keep you from falling and pick you up if you do and say,
"Everything will be alright. I'll never leave you behind,
Just don't look back and stay with me".
Then as we hold hands I'll give you a kiss and everything will feel so right because,
I love you and always will."

"I view a waterfall from a cliff side in the Amazon.
Though beautiful for its image and the sound of water falling fiercely into a waterhole below, I've seen better.
I look at the night sky.
Though beautiful for its image, imagination and peacefulness,
I've still seen better.
I watch the sun set on the sand bay at a beach.
Though beautiful for its image, brightness and the passion that it gives to those inspired by it,
I've still seen much more beauty.
The forest is dying and toxic fumes cover the night sky,
As people walking past blocked the sunset before.
Then I turn to look at you.
Your smiles fall onto me so fiercely making me smile greatly of happiness even when sad.
Your hugs during day, night or in the cold keeps me warm and make me feel at peace.
Your kisses so passionate make my heart beam bright with light.
In my eyes you are true beauty.
And though we will grow old and our beauty may seem to fade,
In my eyes your beauty only grows greater by each passing second."

"You can talk to me.
You can trust me.
You can believe in me.

Because I do believe in you,
Because I will hold you,
Because I kiss you,
Because I do love you,

"Friends. What does that word mean to me?
Love...? Happiness...? What are friends like?
Friends are those who should be with you as you with them.
They are those who make you laugh and feel happier when you are with them.
So what are true friends like?
True friends... always believe you,
Have faith in you...
Treasure you like you treasure them,
Like a brother, or a sister no matter what.
True friends are... someone you can relate too,
Trust and turn too.
True friends are those who ALWAYS try to cheer you up,
ALWAYS make you feel happy and warm inside,
Even just by looking at them would they make you smile.
They're the ones who keep even the tiniest light burning within the darkest depths of your heart.
They’re the ones who lead you to that light and out of the darkness.
They are your strength, your weakness.
They're the ones you would die for because if they disappeared from your life,
It would be like losing a piece of yourself.
They are apart of you as you are of them.
They are your everything... they are you,
In you, and there they shall stay forever,
Even after death.
In you heart."

"Its funny how a fake smile can be,
And no one will ever know,
Or even begin to understand,
The true pain hidden underneath it all…
I should know. I have one."
"I am my parents child.
But not the child they once knew.
Everyone has their demons inside.
But no one knows ‘till it all goes wrong.
I mess up everything I do,
And I don’t know why.
People laugh at me when I do these mistakes.
They’re only by accident.
This time the people all run and hide.
But I promise it wasn’t me.
They say bad things behind my back.
About the day it rained non-stop.
I swear it wasn’t me.
My parents thought I’d never do such a thing,
Until the day it rained non-stop.
The last thing I remember about that sad, sad day,
Was seeing blood, being washed down the drain.
I swear I it wasn't me.
I swear I couldn't have,
But I did.
The day it rained and never stopped was the day that we all wept.
For the day we wept was when my demon had shown.
Everyone has a demon inside them waiting to be unleashed.
Never underestimate a person for being different.
Because for all you know.
It might be the day…
The rain won’t stop."

"Reality is harsh.
Deal with it.
People sit back crying and hiding and never getting out to see life to its fullest.
For every tear that someone drops,
Another person dies feeling the sadness and pain of the one crying.
For every smile someone makes,
Another person is born into the world waiting to achieve his/her dreams,
Only because the support of every smile lifts that little child into a happy adult.
For every tear someone gives to one person,
Another dies in pain.
For every smile someone brings to another person's face,
They brighten up and bring life to the day.
For each smile given and taken,
One person lives.
So don't sit back crying.
Smile and live your life to its fullest."

"When something is wrong and we always cry,
We make others feel so sad.
If we don't tell them what's on our mind,
Then eventually they won't care.
All we want is to be happy.
But whenever there is someone who can make us feel so,
We always push them away further each time.
We don't cry only to try and keep our "image",
But don't laugh because we're too weak from sadness.
All we want is to be happy."
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
"No one cares 'bout my sadness.
No one cares that I feel so lonely.
But if I cried it away I'd only be teased.
No one cares 'bout my problems.
No one cares that I have something to say.
I try to speak my mind but they always seem to fall on deaf ears.
No one cares 'bout my anger.
No one cares that I bottled it in.
But when it shows everyone runs.
They care 'bout their lives,
That may be taken by a monster."

But now am happy.
I was once with them,

But held on to you,
As we flew off to be at peace."

Because you love me,
I give you my heart to help you spread the love through all.
Because you love me
…I died to protect all from harm.
Without you I am nothing.
Just lonely piles of dust to be tread on by others.
With you I am everything.
You ARE my everything-
To give and be given,
My life,
My love,
My soul,
My reason to live.
The most I could ever give worth giving to you,
Is my love.
Because you loved me,
I cared for others.
Because you loved me,
I fed the hungry.
Because you loved me,
I gave water to the thirsty.
Because you loved me,
I gave to others,
Shelter, money,
Clothes… a friend.
Because you loved me,
I loved them.
Because you loved me,
I always loved my brothers and sisters.
Because you loved me,
I was filled with light and hope.
Because you loved me,
I gave my life to serve and protect those who needed it most,
Like my friends and family, but the poor most of all;
It started with them,
And will never end.
Though I am gone,
These deeds will be done.
I will always love.
Now and forever
…Because you have always loved me…
Now and forever…"

"A life worth living should be a healthy life
Not something you disrespect.
Humans are the main concern.
So far we do nothing.
We throw away what we think is junk,
Even if it’s not in the bin or recycle;
While there are poor people who will make it their treasure.
We get greedy and whine about not having a certain game.
We are self-centered and think only of ourselves.
A life worth living is…
A life without fear
A place of peace
A world where the only feelings you have are positive ones.
A world worth living to me…
Is a world with friends by my side.
All I need are my friends and family and to me
That is…
A world worth living for."

"Darkness eats away at my soul.
Sends it to that cold, dark place of sadness and sorrow.
Colder than ice I’m falling 1000 miles per hour,
Making the darkness ever more colder.
The further I fall the colder it gets.
My life is fading and I need your help.
Losing my light falling further.
Into the ever lasting darkness ahead,
The lights are getting dim.
I can barely be seen.
Forgetting everything I know.
Losing everything I love
Who am I?
I do not know anymore.
The light fades,
Forever I think.
Start to hate myself and everything else.
A light starts to shine and a face appears.
I remember the face,
And I start going forward.
Not looking back as I feel to love and be loved again.
It all goes wrong.
Back in the dark all alone.
If this is my destiny,
Then let be.
Forever clouded by hate for mankind.
Humans are the roots."

Scars covered over, by the new life I was given.

You make me laugh with a smile of hope.

Burning below with flames of love.
Shining above with beams of (Glory Or Happiness).
I feel so warm when I see your smile.
Holding you tight not letting go.

Cheeks of red, I open my mouth,
To let out the words I’ve been longing to say.
I love you.”

Not believing in a reason for light.
Until I found you.
I had finally smiled.
Finally found a reason to live.
Found the reason for light.

My reasons have all disappeared.
All I have left,

“To live life is to prove I’m wrong.
To prove I don’t only have the reason to die.
The fact that all I have left is the reason to die,
Is what pushes me further to prove that it’s not.
But to go further,
Will only be to gain more pain.
More suffering.
I can’t take it.
My mind is killing me taking me to the edge.
What does it want?
I can’t be happy because of it,
But I can’t either be sad.
Just an empty shell.
To prove me wrong I’ll make it another reason,
To live my painful life.
But please…
Please help me through it.

But something amazing happened.
And there you were standing with a smile.
I found the light.
But that’s in the past,
Because now I’m lost, all over again.
Looking for the right path to choose.
It’s so dark and so cold.
This is how I’m supposed to live forever, isn’t it?
I’ve lost it all.
For I’ve given up trying to gain it all.
Because when I always have it all,
It just turns to ashes to be blown away by the wind.
To become scattered memories lost in time.
Now and forever.”

I had no reason to live,

But all I said will remain true.

I found you and never thought of quitting.
I lost you there after.
Now no reason to continue…”

It’s just asking for help that is most difficult.”

They never talk first.
In fact they rarely talk second.
They never talk last.
They just never respond back.
MSN is for talking.

“We come across obstacles everyday,
But they always slow our journeys.
We say something to show others we’re down,
But we never tell them when they ask what’s wrong.
We say don’t worry though we want them to,
Just to see who cares.
We say we don’t want to talk about it but we actually do.
We think there’s no one to turn to,
But truth is we’re never alone.
We always have someone to talk to.
And when we’re down it’s best we do,
To get it off our minds;
To lose a burden we carry alone.
When all hope seems lost,
Just look up and close your eyes.
Think about them and you’ll finally see,
That friends will always be.”

Since I can feel you right next to me.
I know why you’re with me,
But I’ve got so many questions that’ll never be answered.
I feel you talk to me every night before I lay myself to sleep and this is what I hear.
“Don’t be sorry it’s not your fault and it won’t ever be.
You were my best friend and still always will be.
I wan you to be happy and live life without self-blame.
I will always think of you and how you used to be,
As you’re getting more beautiful,
You shouldn’t be so sad.”

Knowing that she’s by my side,
My friend, my guardian angel.”

Allow it to hold them back and pull them down.
But who said it has to be this way.
If we all tried,
The world could be such a beautiful thing.
But for now that’s not possible,
Since we make it ugly.
We are ugly.”

“Life is worth living;
So throw away everything u think and know,
And just live for the moment.
Unless that info is needed at the time.”
“A new beginning brings life to a new born.
A newborn grows obtaining new paths.
New paths created by new choices.
A new beginning brings joy to a new born.
A newborn with new dreams;
New dreams created by new hopes.
Life destroyed by an old ending.
Old paths lead to a new cold darkness.
Old paths created by negativity.
Joy washed away by tsunamis of tears.
Dreams shattered by the world around.
Dreams shattered by lack of hope.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“What happened to the joy of childhood?
Everything seems to have been influenced,
And consumed by their own darkness.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“How do you beat the darkness?
Everywhere I look, there’s death and hatred,
And I see sadness and fear.
What has the world become?
Road kill. Pollution. Murder. Lies. Secrets.
Drugs. Alcohol. Abuse to both one self and others.
As we grow up it seems to me that,
The innocence of young children disappears.
From promising to never smoke,
Never do drugs and not drink,
To laying on the side of the road,
Killing animals and people, raping, lying and dying.
Life has just become a joke kept in the dark.
It’s sad.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Be who you want to be.
You cannot be who you want to be by just being.
You have to force it because you mind will fight.”
“We all know so much.
But what we fail to or just plainly don’t comprehend,
Accept or even think about is that,
We also know so little.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Sometimes the best way to get things done,
Is by not trying at all.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“With darkness,
There is an extent to the strength you will gain.
But with light,
There is no limit to how strong you’ll be.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“The darkness (Hatred) makes us truly strong.
But the light (Love) makes us stronger.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“To me negative is positive and positive is positive.
Most people think 50-50.
Example, they are either right or wrong.
But why not make it 100.
Example, Ying and Yang, good and bad,
Boys and girls, young and old,
Water and earth, animals and plants,
Dark and light, life and death etc are all 50-50.
People always think separately…
But how about this,
Ying and Yang symbol are together,
Good things can come from bad and bad from good,
Male creatures need females to continue and females need males,
Young become older and wiser giving birth to young to continue,
Earth needs water and water needs earth to give life,
Animals and plants need each other to balance,
Darkness and light lie within each other,
Life dies and that that dies gives room for the living.
Though everything is 50-50, it all makes up to 100.
Why can’t people see that?
They choose to accept everything is either right or wrong.
But why not choose to accept everything as a possibility.
Right and wrong are 50-50 but the possibility is 100.
That’s why life is so boring and predictable.
It’s either right or wrong.
But I guess that's why I’m hard to predict.
I choose to accept that people believe differently instead of wrong,
And accept everything as a possibility.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“To live life to its fullest,
One must first stop lying to oneself,
And be true to ones own heart”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Everything comes to an end at some point...
Just to make way for the new things…
So maybe life does repeat itself or,
Maybe means that life will never end and maybe…
That's what eternity is.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Most see 25% or less as a bad thing, bad luck, no chance etc,
But I see it as chance.
Most see 50% as fair and even,
But I see it as numbers.
Most see 75% or higher as a good thing, good luck, high chance etc,
But I see it as easy, boring or just common.
But in the end, I always take the odds into my own hands.
Take a chance, don’t let it escape.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“To be at someone’s feet is to feel rejected,
To be in someone’s arms is to feel accepted.
Everyone is at some people’s feet,
And in others arms.
But one thing for certain,
Is that you’re all in my arms;
And will never be let go.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“My life is ruled,
My life is judged.
Never told I’m doing it right,
Always doing it “wrong”.
I’m sick of this life,
‘Coz woman you don’t know me.
Trying to struggle,
Break free of this cage.
Once I’m out,
Bitch,
Leave me alone.
I’m in control.
I rule my life.
I got rights and decisions,
And bitch…
You ain’t gonna take over.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“I’m the kind of person that when I fall for any reason,
I fall pretty damn hard...
But I always seem to get back up somehow.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“You all complain,
I listen.
You all continue to complain,
I continue to listen.
You complain too much,
I get annoyed.
I complain once,
You tell me to “fucking get over it”.
How bout you fucking get used to the fact I’m human,
And I have limits.”
“Isn’t it funny how there’s ALWAYS one episode,
Where the darkness completely takes over everything,
Except for the last bit of light?
Well I think that this moment of life is only the beginning of that episode,
And we should work together to over-throw our darkness."
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“On an average,
Every 35 hours someone suicides,
And every 15mins someone attempts suicide.
If you’re someone who thinks suicide is the only way to turn,
Then truly think again.
When you think there is no hope,
Then truly think again.
When you think you’re all alone and there is no hope,
Then truly think again.
Everywhere you look,
There is help.
Friends,
Families,
And even strangers.
If you feel like you need to talk,
And even if you don’t;
Then talk anyway.
We’ve all been through pain,
And you won’t hurt people by talking.
If you think you are the only one,
Then you are completely wrong.
There’s always help,
There’s always hope,
You’re ever alone,
And there’s always another way.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
"Life without death is a meaningless life;
Light without darkness is dangerously blinding."
"A wise man once said that, "All dreams must come to an end".
Well no matter what happens,
My dreams will end once I achieve them!
Moving forward head held high,
I will be stronger than I was yesterday and I am.”
“Dreams and goals are meant to be reached,
Giving up is not an option for me.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Revenge is more than just pay back.
It is the corruption of ones own meaning in life.
Hatred doesn’t need to exist and yet we allow it to.
No matter how much we don’t want it to hurt us,
We let it hurt others usually caused from own hands.
Nothing is ever as they seem;
We're just to stubborn to listen,
Love,
And forgive.
Revenge is a dish best not served at all.
Why can we not see what is right in front of our eyes.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“The darkness gives us hope.
Gives us chances and freedom.
But from “it’s” kindness,
There will always be consequences.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Sometimes in life,
The only things you have left in the end…
Are the memories you hold so close.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Why must it be through death that we learn and understand peace?”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo (Inspired by Clannad After Story)
“There may be some situations where fighting is sometimes be the only option,
But in the end it’s never the right choice to make.
Anger builds hatred,
Hatred builds violence.
From violence comes fighting,
And from fighting,
Death may be a regrettable outcome.
From death comes sadness,
And from sadness,
A cycle of anger and hatred begins.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“What does it mean to be truly strong?
To me the answer is both quite difficult and yet so simple;
To be able to smile in the darkest moments of life,
To walk forward without regrets and never looking back,
To stand your ground and take every hit life throws at you,
Just to push it aside with a gentle smile,
To never show tears but to shed them away when no ones watching,
To fall over 1000 times but to get back up 1001,
To never lie or seek revenge,
To have confidence and faith in yourself,
To accept everyone and everything including the faults…
Especially the faults.
To help your friends, family and anyone else in need of it;
Even if they are people you don’t like.
To me…
This is what it means to be truly strong.
To just be yourself with a smile on your face,
To never forget those most precious memories,
And to always keep those closest to you in your heart.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“It is sad and embarrassing,
How easily people allow themselves to fall in the dark,
Turning their backs on what is important.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“I am someone who would rather hurt others with the truth,
Than to take chances with happiness through lies.
Because in the end with a lie,
So would be the happiness it makes.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Words are our most powerful tools in life.
More powerful than the actions we make.
As if alive the words we speak can act as a weapon of mass destruction,
Or used as a gift of strength and life.
The words we speak are alive in the sense that they can break,
Or even connect the chains of fate from one person to another.
The words we speak can give comfort and confidence,
But can also bring self-doubt and pain to others.
Depending on the use of the words,
They can also either save a life,
Or take a life.
No one seems to begin to understand this power of words,
Nor even believe its true.
But the simple truth is,
That even words can affect the futures of both you and the people around you,
Without ever even noticing.”
- By Lawrence Adam-Fiorillo
“Girls say that guys hurt them and use them more,
But it’s same for guys too.
Because I hear more from more guys about getting hurt,
By the girls secrets and lies,
Than the girls getting hurt by the guys.
Don’t lie and don’t keep secrets if they affect the people closest to you,
Or you’ll put yourself in horrible situations that you would regret for life.”
