Two Way Perspective


Life always has a two way perspective,
In which your view is never the same as another.


You always see the bad in yourself,
While others see the good shining through you.

You feel as if you aren't pretty compared to others,

Yet people gaze at the beauty you carry from within.

You may have a lot of people surrounding you,
Yet inside you feel completely alone and empty. 


You believe nothing goes right in your life,
While others feel you're lucky to have the life you have.


You always put yourself down,
When others see the best qualities you demonstrate.


You tell yourself you won't go anywhere in life,
Yet others clearly see the potential you have.


You feel like everyone has high expectations of you,
When to someone you may be a role model.


You drown yourself with feelings of regret from mistakes in the past,
While others admire your accomplishments.


You always think with your head,
Yet others see you work from the heart.

Life always has a two way perspective,

In which your view is never the same as another.

Whenever you assume your in a world full of negativity,

Just know that you also live in a world filled with positive. 

A Perfect Day of Spring

A sense of warmth is beginning to creep upon us
A sensual breeze caresses against our soft skin
The chill I've been feeling for months has faded away
The gentle chirp of birds soothe my ears,
As the happiness of the sun embraces my body
The fragrance of fresh blossoms delights my day
The sun is gleaming in my eye as I take an afternoon stroll 
Children eagerly wait for the day they quest for their easter eggs
Bumblebees anticipate for the sweet pollen flowers shall bring
Earthworms crawl amongst the rich and nutritious soil 
The weather isn't too hot or cold; it's perfect. 

True Friend

When my life is filled with sadness and sorrow,
When I don't see how I'll get through tomorrow,
You take away my pain; make my world bright.
You are my guardian angel; my forever shining light.


Thank you for staying, through thick and thin.
Thank you for helping me to smile again.
You easily turn my sad days into happy ones.
You've been there for me, no matter what happens.


Smiles and tears, giggles and laughs,
Late night calls and cute photographs.
Fights an arguments; we've been through it all.
When I need someone to talk to, you're the one I call.


I'll be there for you until the day of my death.
Best friends forever until my very last breath. 
All kinds of relationships come and go.
But the friendship between us? No.

Fall

Falling autumn leaves
Leaves turning gold and crimson
Approaching cold days

Crazy In Love

We pity mentals

But everyone is crazy

When they meet the one.

Death Strikes between Capulet and Montague Rivalry

Verona City – It started from a bright, sunny day in Verona when red blood took over as innocent Mercutio died from a sly stab to the stomach and in the midst of chaos, the murderer of Mercutio dies as well. 

It began from the feud between fierce Tybalt and helpless Romeo. Tybalt approached Mercutio and Benvolio, because he was in search of Romeo. Once Romeo arrived, Tybalt confronted trying to persuade Romeo to fight him. Innocent Romeo, didn’t want any fight with the Montagues since he had recently married Juliet. He even protested saying he has a reason to love him which he cannot know for now and that he has done no harm to him. Tybalt continued arguing with Romeo and called him a villain. Romeo, however, was remaining calm as he only wanted to collaborate with Tybalt and deal the scenario out without any violence. 

Despite Romeo’s intensions, Tybalt burst with anger at Romeo and helpless Romeo tried to avoid him. Friendly Mercutio could not withstand Romeo being dishonoured by Tybalt and didn’t like the fact the Romeo was being assertive towards the way Tybalt was talking to him. Mercutio willingly stepped in and drew out his sword to fight Tybalt. Tybalt stabbed Mercutio and fled out of the scene. Mercutio eventually died but he made his word before he had passed on. He stated clearly to Romeo and Benvolio that the feud between both houses had caused death and a war of emotions which has not helped solve the feud at all.

After seeing his best friend die right in front of him, by the hands of Tybalt, Romeo decided it was time he put aside his feelings of mercy and consideration. He was furious and was overtaken by the desire of revenge. Once Tybalt arrived once again, Romeo let his feelings of fury guide his actions and challenged to fight Tybalt. Before Benvolio could stop the fight, Romeo had killed Tybalt. 

The citizens of the town had witnessed some sort of commotion. When the first citizen arrived to ask who started the fight, Benvolio simply pointed at Tybalt’s dead body. Later, when Lady Capulet and the Prince arrived, Benvolio explained everything that had happened carefully to the Prince without leaving out any details. Lady Capulet was extremely furious and wanted one of the Montague member to die to pay for the price of Tybalt’s death. In the end, the Prince decided that Romeo be exiled from Verona since he was still guilty of murder.

Romeo and Tybalt fighting each other fiercely.
