I'm sure I'm not the only one
Who has ever wondered why
They were put here on this Earth
To live for and how to do so
I've been called insane
So many countless times for
My own personal belief over
My own personal 'why' I'm here
It's in at least my own mind
Since I was too young to even
Know what I meant with it, but
It's my own personal belief that
I live here on this Earth we share
To be here for others, I mean
There must be a reason to why
I've been blessed with the words
I seem to share with many each day
I live by the rule of caring, without
Expecting anything back in return
But a true smile spreading your lips
My life is far from a prosperous one,
Aside from the family's income amount
My wallet is commonly empty, because
That money currently lies upon the
Table of my friend's home for their use
I care more about a stranger's life
Than I do about my own, even with the
Same exact problems we may share -
Then again, going through my own helps
To understand others in their trek
Against the battle the war of life tends
To offer us on the daily basis we live
It's a thought in me I can't explain,
But a remembrance to all - I live to
Help you all through what you need,
But I do face my own once in the while
Despite anything, I will make it my life
To make even just one life go from near
The possible end, to one of the best that
Will be remembered in the books forever -
Even if it doesn't include my name with you

Literature
Real Estate
The cost of intellectual property has gone up.
I can already feel the ideas curdling like milk,
Strings of silver silk lining
Tangling it up so neatly--
A package for the loan-shark in my bed in the morning.
A message to my lover, to whom I owe such a debt:
All you ever do anymore is take.
My poems crumble at the touch,
Fading into the clusters of Sunday brunch and Family Guy reruns.
What's the price of the two seconds of quiet
Without a pile of unfilled lines awaiting my autograph
Ruffling through the papers you'll have me sign-
What wouldn't I give to sign with the devil, over you...
Teetering on the corner of thought,
My pen limp and b

The Journey
Beneath my skin, my veins pulse with desire
To know why I am here.
As I journey to find the answers to life,
I sail through the monotonous seas
That stretch forever beyond the horizon.
As my ship sails towards the dry land,
Mountains tower before me,
Filling me with both awe and intimidation.
But the mountains are eroding as time passes by,
Into merely fragments of what they once were.
I move my eyes and watch the glaciers
Melt slowly into rivers.
But even though they disappear,
They melt to provide water for all life on this planet.
You could say rivers are created by glaciers for a purpose.
I ponder those mountains and glac

apocryphal
so cunning and seemingly honest
at times there is nothing but wit
yet not quite real on the inside
but nothing we care to admit

I had trouble with this piece trying to express this, and I could have added more, but... I just couldn't fit my thoughts in right.
And honestly, it just feels... 'right' to leave it the way it is.
