Only until every face is painted will we stop painting.
Only until everyone is loved will we stop loving.
Only until we love each other will we stop teaching kindness.
Only until we all agree will we stop debating.
Only until the world stops turning will we stop living our lives.

Poetry Book 3
third poem collection. they aren't in any particular order or anything like that, and after 100, there will always be a new one. if you've been here a while, I'm sure you know the drill. now, about the cover. it was a random Thursday, and an old friend and I went to Cottonwood Island Park in PG. this bridge is covered in graffiti and writing, and it has been painted over to cover it up, or boards have been replaced to get rid of it. yet, there's always writing on this bridge. it felt like no matter what, nobody can silence the voices that need to be heard. and I felt that. anyways, please enjoy this chaotic collection of poetry.

When Only Paper Can Save
Sueño con un paraíso colorido, que el himno nacional sea un latido. The flag will not know bloodshed. Bad people will see what's truly up ahead. Yo quiero que el humano sea humano y que sus acciones no sean en vano. I want people to be treated equally like gold and not falter with the cold words they have been told. I want people to melt that iron in their hearts and make that metal into houses that won't fall apart. The imaginary lines that separate us will be erased and turned into dust. That wall made of blood and distrust, for people that are treated with disgust, will crumble to pieces with their voices. Because what separates us are colorful skin and choices...Complete
We Found Us
Every heart has a destination, a predestined path carved by the heavens. They say God has created a soulmate for everyone; we simply need the patience to wait for the right moment. When that moment arrives, the heart does not need an introduction, it instinctively recognizes its better half. After all, a heart isn't something you simply give away. It wanders off on its own, finding its way to the one it truly needs. This is the story of two souls who found one another when their hearts finally began to beat as one.Complete
