The laughter of the group filled the silence,

A noise so loud not held by any sort of abstinence.

You could smell the bond tearing up the bodies,

Everyone couldn’t stop staring,

Jealousy, anger, loneliness filled up their hearts.

The fragrances of the girls noticed by every guy,

A competition that never dies.

I could breath the joy of their souls,

We were all playing our roles.

The jocker, the l...

I bet this app’s creators had no idea how much this platform would reach out and effect its users. And I bet the people who joined slowly had no idea that if they stayed they’d be apart of something so much larger than scope’s first glance.

You know the feeling,

The one where you switch off and your feet do the walking.

Staring at the ceiling,

And so very aware of the voice who is talking.

You body recognises the route,

From home to those you love and back again.

Whether you are wearing a suit,

Or visiting now and then.

Your soul belongs here,

And craves putting down roots.

Your heart may be in fear,

But your soul is in cahoots.

Belonging

That’s something I feel

Not around my family

But with my friends

Like I’m supposed to be there

Laughing

And having fun

Not judged

Not unwanted

Not unheard

Nothing I like is stupid

When I belong

Nothing I talk about is stupid

When I belong

Nothing I want is stupid

When I belong

I’m treated just the same

As anyone else

No second-guessing about that

None of my hear me outs ...

Sometimes I look at my brother

and he is not my brother

But a stranger,

A lean, muscled man,

25, the height of youth and energy, vitality -his presences radiates joy,

Finds the best in everything

Is unstoppable.

He’s building the life he wants,

effortlessly charismatic and charming,

He runs marathons and flys to Japan

Sometimes I have to remind myself he is not the small boy

Running thro...

To try to fit in somewhere

Is a fundamental need

To feel a connection

Without a plead

And when it’s right

You don’t have to look

You’ll fit right in

Like a fish with a hook

But if you try to fit

In somewhere you don’t

It will break your edges

And you won’t even know

Like a missing puzzle piece

Jammed in the wrong spot

It’ll seem like it’s okay

Until it is not

Because until its somewhere

Yo...

Belonging.

That nine letter word never meant much to me.

Belonging is boring and tiring I thought.

But to belong means to have a love no one can take.

To belong means to never worry about being fake.

I belong to you and you to me.

We belong to the world and the world to us.

I never thought I’d belong anywhere.

But I belong to the sea, the grass, the trees.

I belong to the earth, and the earth bel...

I know where I belong.

With those people, in that space.

My church is my everything.

My family, my safe place.

I see most my favorite people there.

I speak up and sing out without a care.

My confidence is at its highest.

It's the best, but I guess I'm biased.

But here is my favorite part:

During worship when, together,

With lifted hands,

And hearts changed for the better,

My church sings to him; j...

We both have been gutted

The switchblades in our back

We can save ourselves together

Never look back

I got my arms around you for the whole night

Let go of your controlling fear of things not going right

Ideals ideals

I’ll never let you leave my sight

We both had skewered hearts

Let’s repair them, make them whole, make them shine

We are bruised and battered

Holding out a cup, waiting fo...

I got your back

You got mine

And overtime I can come to you when times get Muddy

You confide in me and sometimes I can borrow some money

We see each other and what we've gone through

We don't judge each other because we don't want to

I trust you and you trust me

Not blood related yet still a family

Giving with no expectations

Take what you need after all I'm your friend

When I walk into the roo...
