For too long I have built my life around the approval of others, and it's done nothing but take everything from me that I hold dear and precious. Twice now has it taken from me people I would've liked to hold for the rest of my life. No more, it's time I took hold of my life, and made what I can of it. I no longer care what other people think of me, why should I? That random person down the road, if they think I'm insane for dancing and singing with the doors and windows open, pfft, they dunno how to party then. I wanna make people happy, but I won't do that anymore by being a social chameleon, I will be myself, and I will do what I can to help people. No more of the "I can be myself around them, so I am just gonna stick with them" No, I am going to be me, all the time. I am so tired of monitoring myself around others so as to not draw weird looks.  I will be me, Nathaniel Louis Martin. I don't owe explanations as to why I decided to start dancing in the street, nor do I owe explanations as to why I just hugged a random person. Nah, imma be me, all the time from now on, if I am too strong a social flavor for you, kindly leave me be.

Memories

From the day you enter this world, until the day you leave it.
Your mind saves all of your progress, reminding you of the worst, and best of it.
As we near the end, we look back, and relive the good times.
Reviewing our regrets, our successes, but most of all, we view the best of times.

As a child, we look ahead, yet as an adult we look back.
We review how far we went on the trail of life.
To find that we either did great, live life to the fullest.
Or we did nothing, and stood short next to the tallest.

Children are another way to track our progress on the trail of life.
They mark the times of greatest joy, and sorrow.
They are our sources of the greatest pleasure, and aggravation.
But it is these reasons that for our children, does love come in the highest sensation.

We may immortalize the memories with pictures.
Poems, paintings, or journal entries.
But nothing can show them to us than being able to look back on them in your mind.
As we come from the womb, to the time we leave this world to the arms of our maker, we will always be able to review memories of any kind.

Love

Love, the force that drives all common sense from one's mind.
The power that supports the limbs of those loyal to our country, and those that serve.
The fuel that compels fools to save the ones who has infected them.
It may not be a substance, but it can last forever, never needing a hem.

Love is the only cure for loneliness.
It also is the greatest tool for healing, but it also doubles as the greatest weapon.
Love is a driving force that can shape and change nations.
And that can shape and change the lives of all whom witness the sensation.

The Lighthouse.

You shine bright as a Lighthouse on a foggy night.
You are my beacon of hope, my symbol of might.
Without you, I would fall like a tree without it's root.
For you do I wake, for you does cupid shoot.

When I wander aimlessly on the sea of doubt.
It is you who guides my vessel home, and for you my heart does shout.
It is you whom I see when I think of beauty.
It is for you whom I feel to protect is my duty.


As I sail the highseas, narely do my thoughts of you stray.
In my heart and memories will you always stay.
Never shall my faith break, never shall it shatter.
Always to me, shall your heart, memories, and life matter.

Till the end of my own days shall I think of you.
Even if you depart before myself shall I love you.
As I explore lands long forgotten, my heart will always be with you my love.
Forever more shall it be, for forever to stay is our love.
