The Words That Makes You...And Breaks You: Poetry And Thoughts Bind Together
The optimist insists that we live in the best of worlds, the pessimist fears that he is right.

Cruel and heartless
I used to be completely cruel and heartless, Using girls, then tossing them aside. I used to feel an angry, bitter hunger, Not knowing why, nor looking much inside.
I used to think the goal of life was pleasure: My own, of course, whatever that might take. A woman's feelings had to be her problem. Self-sacrifice was always a mistake.
And so, with just the slightest twinge of conscience, I hunted for my lonely ecstasy; And even when I wanted a companion, The only one I cared about was me.
We make our worlds, like God, in our own image: Mine was a metropolis of stone In which all souls were either fools or cynics, Doomed to take their pleasure on their own.
And then I fell in love with you, and somehow Your happiness meant more to me than mine. The desert became green and lush with flowers, And like a sun my heart began to shine.
And like a wind I swept across the ocean, And like a star exploded into night, And like a song I held love in my hands, And like an angel knew that this was right.
All that I had thought was proven wrong, All the lies to justify my greed. To love was to embrace the pith of life, To feel a joy far stronger than a need.
And if I could so love, I could be loved, Could think someone might want me and believe it, Could let another know me without shame, Could give my self and know I could retrieve it.
All this I tell you that I might be known, That all of me no longer be alone; And if you do not love the one I am, So be it. I will weep, but understand.
Name: Andreas Home: Skåne, Sweden About Me: Andreas Zetterqvist, 26 years old, hetrosexual. Three passions are present in my life: music, writing and my gf. Music represents the essence of my being, writing represent the expression of my soul, my gf keeps me sane. Laughter keeps my heart light and intact. Thinking keeps my juices flowing. Friends mean the world to me. But trust is something I give to selected few. No one has 100% of my trust. Very few have something close to it. I don't look like a supermodel.
And I'm fine with that now at this time of my life because
in my own way, I have a beauty that surpasses all these so-called beautiful people. And I'm not being cocky, just showing some much needed confidence. I have a major in network technology, but confined my future with sales. I'm a poet for a few years. I like to think I'm a lot of different things. But for sure I'm a good boy with class, who's a sweetheart and down to earth. But God bless you if you mess with me because I'm a force
to be reckoned with. I think birthdays and holidays are special and I think writing is the best way of therapy. I'm honest because I've spent too many years hiding. So if you want to get to know me better, just ask. Or read on. Visitors: See my complete profile
There are many races in life but in the end the only race is with yourself. Everyone's choice begins with a dream, because with dreams everything is possible.
