We either are growing, or we are counting the days until our demise.
The good part is that it's easy to choose to grow, and become more than you are, and better than you've been.


Demons Do Not Pray Demons do not prayDemons Do Not Pray by ~JoshuaThePhilosopher
Although they are entitled.
For there are beings of light
and servants of other wills.
Demons are of the earth and air.
They do not beg nor ask.
Sometimes violent, but always pride.
They stand on the shoulders of themselves.
For it is too easy to cede the responsibility
And nobly ask for all to be taken away.
It is too easy to live the little death
of sublimation of one's own will.
Demons would rather stand tall
and fall, but only on their accord.
Not lifted up my charity, but fall
And rise up, from the blood and dirt.
So at the end, or their eternal beginning
No matter their


Once Upon No Further Pauper and prince, pariah and priest, first and least.Once Upon No Further by ~JoshuaThePhilosopher
I am despicably mainstream.
Once I was all for you
And you and me
But now there's just you
And where does that leave me?
Once upon a long ago
I promised you my heart.
I promised no matter where you went
I would always find you.
But now my absence is all you ask.
Forever never lasts.
But were we a lie from the start?
What did I mean when I was genuine?
We'd take on the world, us vs them.
But now the only world left
Is one without you in it.
I sought soulace in your kiss
But I find no salvation in your words
No truth in your eyes
No hope in your breath
No peac


Pretend To Like This One I love you, truely, & just to remind youPretend To Like This One by ~JoshuaThePhilosopher
I got you a token, this flower.
My love is like this flower, vibrant, sweet & alive.
But it wilted, and I yet love you.
My love outlives any flower.
No, my love is like a whole garden,
where moments live & die, but they all
give beauty to the whole.
And yet, a garden without care, toil, luck
may die, and all be swept away.
My love cannot be swept away.
No, my love is like the sun.
Steady & pure, for all the world to see.
And yet even the golden sun sets, into darkness.
My love burns bright each day and night, for all time.
Rather then, my love is like my very heart beat.


Worthy Opponent They told me never trust a manWorthy Opponent by ~JoshuaThePhilosopher
That strikes
You know, though, I'm not
Sure if it counts
When you ask him to.
Always the first to move
Your weapons strike true and
Your steel is so hard
When it's made of wood
Unyielding; I always yield
Each time takes me higher
Away from the fear
My breath catches in my throat
When your confidence presses
So close to me and I know
You would never do anything
Wrong right now because how
Could this be anything but right?
I humbly request you don't get
Off my chest because I feel so
Tight, with you
Our bond is often used
To protect me from what I might
Say or do if I could move
Too


I Can Never Stop Loving You When I promised you I would never stop loving you, there was no way I ever could. I was young, I was ignorant, and you surrounded me everyday with love and with comfort. You were my hero. You were my Spirit, and we were connected. I could never stop loving you.I Can Never Stop Loving You by ~ImaginaryLae
As I get older,I am not sure exactly what is changeing. I no longer feel that warmth, that comfort, that love. I no longer feel you.
I can never stop loving you, but it's like you are no longer there to love.

Anyway.
It's suprising and nice to know you actually read the journal haha I kinda forgot it was there, it's the first thing with any substance I've left on the internet for a long time. So basically you've commented upon a piece of my mind
Ppl are awfully out of touch with themselves you know...
They really are. But it's interesting after a while to pull back the smoke, and examine what's really under there, on the level where it really matters.
