Being that person you want to be.

_ any fool can defend his mistakes - and most fools do. But it raises one above the herd and gives one a feeling of nobility strength to admit one's mistakes.

sometimes we all blow it. We forget plans or show up for class unprepared or trip and fall as we're walking down the hall. It's part of being human to mess up royally from time to time. Makeing those simple mistakes is apart of learning. What matters is how we deal with our mistakes. Sometimes we don't get the chance to admit our own faults, before someone else calls them out to our attention. Sometimes it's when you don't know what you really did wrong and then there's nothing you can do about it and you'll just have to work from there. But if you're trying to get out of trouble with accepting responsibility for what you've done, you may have to rethink your approach.

sometimes you may not want to "bite off more then you can chew" but that doesn't mean you should stick to baby food does it ? If you're not falling, you're not trying. Everything comes with a price weather it's wrong or right as time goes by you'll figure it out. The higher you climb the more chances there are to stumble - or fall right flat on your face. But that doesn't mean you should avoid new or scary things because you might not be good at them. Never fear the unexpected.

Be who you are, & show people who you are don't be scared to let your true identity shine. .
They won't hold anything against you. Infact they will probably admire you for admitting that your human.
but if you hold onto that bad feeling, it can drag you down.
You don't have to live with your mistakes forever, replaying them and punishing yourself over and over. If you admit them to yourself and others make a sincere apology, and try to consider how you may be able to avoid them in the future, you are free to try and fail without any overwhelming consequences.
During this you will soon learn to be that person you really want to be.

two questions & two answers. .

A friend of mine asked me two questions,
and i thought they were interesting ones so i wanted to post the questions & show you my response to them. .

1. what do you think the meaning of life is?

- I think the meaning of life is about all sorts of things, like takeing chances weather you know it's right or wrong, and learn from which ever one you take, learn to deal with different facts and things you face from day to day. It's about having honnor for the unhonnerable, and finding new places and new faces throughout the days that you live, meeting new people and seeing them for who they are not what they are. Seeing past the image of different people because were all different in different ways and seeing the inner beauty, it's about knowing no matter what we all face different tasks each day but to look past that and know you'll be okay . Most of all live life to the fullest, but honnor everyone around and you will get honnored back. Take risks and see where they lead you, have an open heart and don't decieve.
love the life that is given to you, because we take things forgranted when other people are out there with nothing. Appriciate every single thing you have because that everything, is everything special to you.
keep the special things close to heart, and if your fighting with some special , fight for them not with them, but if that's not enough then let them go.
Life is full of suprises but don't give up on this beautiful life given to us.

2. What is the most important thing a person can have?

- I think the most important thing a person could ever have, would have to be trust. Someone there by there side each day that passes by. For that person to be there to walk with them through the good and through the dark days, to know that everything will be okay because they have trust in that person. No one wants to feel alone, and that's where trust comes in, you cant have a friendship that doesn't have trust first, trusting someone is what makes a friendship only stronger. Everyone needs someone there to help them up when they feel like falling to be there with an open heart & open ears to listen to the things they may feel and hold beneath there hearts. Someone there to not be affraid to let there tears run down, when they are feeling the worst they ever have, to not be affraid of being who they really are. Beneath that all only starts with trust and it's your choice to keep it. Trusting someone is knowing that, that special person would never leave your side in the dark and will always hold on tight, knowing that they will never decieve you or betray you, and most of all letting your true identity show without any fear.

that's the beauty of trust and that's the simplest things that can get to me, so i thought that would be most important for a person to have.

just danielle. .

& sometimes the beauty is in the attempt.

you don't back down, you won't turn around,

doesn't matter what comes crashing down,

you're still going to stand on solid ground.

something different. .

okay so i usually write my own poems & stuff on here,
but i feel like i should put these song lyrics on here for anyone who is reading, it's an amazing song a good friend of mine requested this song to me and told me i should listen to it so i did and it was amazing,the words in it are so strong leaving your heart in warmth. It puts something in my heart that i can't describe. .
just read the lyrics and you will see. .
or listen to the song later it's an amazing song.

called -

hold on by 33 miles. .

I've been there a thousand times,
I've felt the rain like a thousand knives.
And it hurts,I know it hurts!
I've been there like a fighter plane,
Tryin' fly my way through a hurricane.
And it's hard,I know it's hard!
Don't be afraid, You'll make it through,
Just call out to me and I'll come running to you!
Hold on, hold on!
When the current pulls you under,
And your heart beats like thunder.
Just give me your hand,And hold on, hold on!
Until the storm is over,
And I'll be fighting for you.
Just give me your hand and,Hold on!
I'll give you hope, I'll give you faith!
And if it's dark, I'll light the way,For you, for you!
By your side, until the end,
Until you're standing tall again!
I'm here, I'll always be here.
And if the tide, sweeps you out to sea,
When your strength is gone, and it's hard to believe!
Hold on, hold on!When the current pulls you under,
And your heart beats like thunder!
Just give me your hand,And hold on, hold on!
Until the storm is over.
And I'll be fighting for you,
Just give me your hand!
so...Hold on, hold on!
When the current pulls you under,
And your heart beats like thunder!
Just give me your hand.
And hold on, hold on!
Until the storm is over,
And I'll be fighting for you!
Just give me your hand,
And hold on, hold on!

Butterfly that has a desire like a burning fire. .

Do you ever wonder how that butterfly can fly.

or how can it have so much desire to fly so high.

With limited efficiency to reach the sky

is it even worth it,

or is it just takeing a chance,

if you just reach a certian height,

that may be a bit of luck,

and you may find a beautiful sight.



But if you don't, do give a second thought.

Perhaps this moment isn't worthwhile enough,

Take it easy and try it over again -

If all else fails you'll only be right back where you started from.

take a chance,

take a fall,

get back up and forget it all.

Everything around us has a desire,

the hope & desire to not fail surrounds each one of us.

the hope & desire to have a passion as strong as a fire.

to know that where ever you go, you can take a chance but forever will know

that takeing chances is what keeps us moving on.

if only you could run far away only to escape,

and find a horizion so beautiful not knowing what is in fate. .

in the light of the sun,

you're left there in settle thought,

wondering if there is anyone.



but you think of that butterfly,

how it has such a great desire to fly.

leaving with nothing but a chance ready to let go

the butterfly ready to leave the palm of your hands,

not scared of where or how it lands.

Takeing a risk and knowing if it falls that there will be something there to catch you through out it all.

desire is like a burning fire, never put out.

the question is why .

why in such short time,
people can just go a head and change there minds.
why in such short time,
the world can change from light to dark.
why in such short time,
people can lose where they stand, and lose there mark.
why in such short time,
people end up changing.
why in such short time,
people are left there judging.
why in such short time,
people don't want to wake up and face the reality.
why in such short time,
people could go blinde and not see.
why in such short time,

a heart could break,
a family could break,
a frieindship could break,
but without saying anything all you have to do is breathe in and take.
a heart hurts from another heart hurting.
a heart hurts from another one flirting,

but yet we stand in the exact same spot,
only fighting for the one who faught.

nothings so incredible then feeling that hurt stop.
when yet we all feel the exact same.

howcome you're not the one saving me. .

how could something so strong end up so wrong.
how could people change within a little amount of time,
why couldn't there have been a sign .

it was all to good to be true.
you said "i don't ever want to hurt you".
but where did that simple grace go ?
why didn't you ever let it show until now ?

oh please tell me how.

i should have seen this comeing,
i know it's never simple and never easy,
but i wish you would have warned me.

nothing felt right unless i was with you,
nothing seemed as though to fight,
unless it was for you.

where did that simple grace go,
why didn't you ever let it show until now,

oh please tell me how.

i know it's never simple and never easy,
but why couldn't you be the one saving me..

beauty.

Where does the true beauty lie?
Within the heart, not the eye
The eye deceives and the eye is blind
It is the soul where answers you will find
Not to search beyond the skin; a disgrace
The beauty within, not upon a face
But what is beauty? It is falsly termed
Beauty is not born, Beauty it is earned
Carry the true beauty within your heart
Never from your lips let anger depart
Within people you trust, always confide
And always search for the beauty, that lies inside.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
Beauty is in all things.
Beauty is in the sky.
Beauty is in the water ever so blue.
Beauty is the winter when trees are covered with snow.
Beauty is the summer when you smell and see the flowers grow.
Beauty is all things big and little.
Beauty is in all things,Black and white.
Beauty is in all things, you and me.
Beauty is all around us...
can't you see?

Running.

suitcase packed with all your things
heart aching,
don't want to watch you go,
hands begin shakeing,
please there's only one thing you should know. .

i'll need time to get you off of my mind,
trying to be intouch with you,
but from time to time,
you fade away.

i lose the things i wish to say.
but until i get used to loseing you,
let me tell you one thing,

i'll get by,
but no matter how i try
chances are my tears will fall,
from time to time
i wish your voice would call out to me.

but they say oh there will be a brighter day,
but all i need to do, is lean on you
till i can make it on my own .

it's hard to breathe without you here,
it's hard to stand without any fear. .
for i stand there in hope to see you
when some things are meant to be broken,
i wish none of this was true.

suitcase packed with all your things,
heart aching dont want to watch you go,
hands begin shakeing
but theres one thing you should know. .

i just want you to know who ive become,
heart open ,
lips closing ,
as you walk away, leaving this reality behind
wishing you would stay.

but if i could change your mind,
would you need me.
because i need you right now'
i try to move on, but this world keeps spinning
as my heart stops beeting
wishing you would come back ..

you left all of your reasons,
as each day goes by,
changes durring each seasons.

suitcase packed with all your things,
wishing that door bell would ring,
don't want you to go,

everyonce in a while,
i can take in a breathe and hold in my tears,
but still my heart begins raceing at a faster pace,

having so many words to say,
only left us here today,
watching you run away.

you run away from the bad things that come in by,
like a storm that rushes in from the dark grey sky.
but running won't help,
running won't heal a broken heart.
running will only tare us apart.

but all else fails you run,
you run so fast ,
every memory we once shared will no longer last.

but suitcase packed with all your things,
the door bell rings,
i don't want you to go,
but there's only one thing you should know. .


i'll be the one to grow time after time,
after all we have been through,
i realized i didn't really know,
it's a good thing that you had to go.

it hurts,
but im going to smile because i deserve to.
and even though your not right beside me,
it will all get better after time & time,
to bad you didn't open your eyes to see,

the things you did wrong,
that lasted so long. .

O c e a n .

Walking; Talking; Chatting; Clicking;
Crashing against the gray stone rocks

-So fierce intense each step by step.
The ocean in the flicker of an eye.
Leading from high down to the beach,
So narrow steep naive and dark,

And yet so pure like the fine sands,
which our feet, together, have still to touch.
Hold closer, closer, capture it all -
Seashell treasures keep memories;
Waves of the night lost in the sea.
Deep true endless romances of the waters,
are cherished lovingly on shore.
Graceful perfection, sea breeze air Silent kisses, stars keep smiles.
Beneath the play shelter,
Hidden from all, nerves swim,
But wait...

the innocence of the moments.
Back to your corner we go,
So gentle intense like the deep mystery.
Hold close, closer, remember all,
Keep your mind clear and heart open'
cause each drop that fills that ocean is a tear I've cried reaching out for you...

World.

as im driving down a busy road,
seeing vehicles that pass on by,
as some turn right & some go left.

isn't it strange thinking how big the world really is,
but when you think about it,
there's so many different worlds here.
you think when one car turns right & the next goes left how many worlds are there really.

this world is so selfish that we don't appriciate the good things anymore,
we take advantage of every single thing that comes our way,
we often lose the little things we fear to say.

what if there was no such thing as makeing mistakes,
would the world be the same or would it be boring.

as you ride a plane and look out the window seeing nothing but the white clouds slowly moving in the thin air,
wondering if you are as high as you can get, or if theres something yet above you, still trying to be discovered. .
wondering if theres something better than where you're about to land.

the world is full of kaosity,
it's a busy place
but yet this world is so beautiful but yet undiscovered by many souls.

half the world lives,
half the world makes,
half the world gives,
while the other half takes,

half the world hates,
half the world runs away,
half the worlds always late,
the other half praises each day.

half the worls lies,
half the world burns,
half the world cries,
and half the world turns.

this world is so big, yet we are so blinde to find the beauty with in it.
were to caught up in ego, and regrets that we won't open up our eyes and just forget.

what kind of world is this,
a world of my own,
a world of expression,
a world never leaving you alone.

looking out that plane window,
seeing clouds floating gently beneath where you fly,
wondering what's above,
or if you can get even more high.

clouds floating by,
realizing the beauty that lies right before those crystal blue eyes,
who would have thought it could be such a beautiful sight,
seeing what was once dark turn into light.

the speed you are flying in,
only takes away a few breaths, wondering what is left.

feeling the turbulance beneath where you sit,
the hope you hold,
& wonders that cross your mind.

how many worlds are there in this one.
because deep inside there are more than just this big old world,
theres a million that surround us ,

look deep inside that beautiful place,
& you will find nothing but grace. .

my big brother, my hero. <3

Brother your light closes over me just like an eyelid.

you and i are in it for the long haul,
and will catch eachother when one falls. .
you are my big brother, and i will always be here for you,
just like i know you'll always be here for me.
We stick together,
Two siblings tied forever
With a rope that refuses to break.

my brother, Who is always there when I need a shoulder to cry on
My brother Who is the one I can go to when Im in any bind
My brother
My brother never judges me
He is always there with a hug
Though we fight, He always has a reason for his anger
And when its not me, He always says Sorry
He is the best brother I could ask for
And Im proud to call him mine.

brother your light closes over me just like an eyelid,
brother your smile lights up and is always there to shine.

Brother can you remember
When we were both still small
The fun we had, the talks we shared
Looking back - we had it all
'
Brother can I play with you
and wear your favorite shirt
Will you let me throw the football once
I swear I won't get hurt
Brother will you help me solve
this problem I have got
There's this boy I know who I really like a lot
Brother will you show me how to try and drive a car
Will you let me drive your brand new truck
I swear I won't go far...

you're always here through it all,
you never seem to let me fall.
you hold me tight ,
you are my shining light.

I’m gonna grow up
And be just like you’
Cause you’re my hero,
My hero, Big Brother.
We were together
No matter what
Even though our lives
Weren’t the best for us.

You are my shield
My knight in shining armor.
You are my Superman to save the day.
We stuck together,
Two siblings tied forever
With a rope that refused to break.

I’m gonna grow up
And be just like you’
Cause you’re my hero,
My hero, Big Brother

<3

the place called h o m e.

sitting here ,
wondering if any-body noticed,
this instant feeling that your drifting out of focus.
trying to fix it, but you're hopeless.

crying,
only to feel apart of you gradually dieing.
what went wrong, what's takeing so long.
reaching so far,
for strength to keep you trying.

say your goodbyes,
to the people in your life that don't care,
say goodbyes to the pain,
and all the darkness that shows in the night.
there will always be a better day,
there will always be that shining light.

look far inside and you will find,
as long as you keep holding on,
you'll carry on.

there's a fire that is burning, burning for all the desire you hold
suddently you see there's a love out there,
there's hope out there, find it , hold it, and believe in it.

when you're feeling lost and all alone,
there's a place you should run to,
a place called your home.

the only place you feel yourself, the only place that truely understands you & who you are,
the place you've grown up in,
it will always make you who you are today. .

remember when the times were rough,
remember when everything felt so tough,
but most of all remember when it was filled with joy,
remember your heart and who you are, this town makes us who we are today.

thinking theres nothing but an empty page,
leaving all of that space,
breathing in captured by that sweet grace. .
moments breaking,
lights dimming nothing feels the same.

but when you're feeling lost and all alone,
there's a place you should run to,
the place called home. . .

voices.

All i think about is how you weren't ever here,
not here to wipe the tears that fell like rain
every year over & over again,

do you even miss me,
do you care at all,

everyday i wake up and think of you,
think of the times we have missed, hopeing to catch up at the end of the day.
you were everything , all the good inside of me,
but that was oh so long ago

you were gone before i knew it ,
never knew what was wrong from right,
if only you would have held on tight .
before i new it , you were gone just like the wind that never stayed to long.

i glance back & remember you were everything to me,
everything i thought i knew,
but in the end wasn't even true.

you told me not to forgive you but told me to understand you,
but it's hard to understand someone who doesn't even understand thereself, or even me. .

the hope & promises of you comeing around,
the forgiveness i gave you, but you took advantage of it,
it's hard to believe everything we have been through,
but yet there's not a single word left to say,
it hurts, and leaves me here it's all ashame.

i have learned that believeing in you is always hard,
but i will never let go,
and even a new day will come on by , and hopefully never fade away. .

i have leanred that through the toughest storms i have strength to make it through,
but what i hope is that you do the same,
when bad things come your way, have hope to renue what you say,
have hope and appriciate what you have and all of the good things that drift your way.

I want you to be a man of your word,
and i want you to be here for me,
i wish none of this was true and everything i ever heard.

but sometimes life get's in the way,
and you follow what other voices say.

just know that through it all ,
i'll always love you & won't ever fall.
