A Mother and her Son. By Cesar Reyes

A Mother and her son

Certain lessons a man can’t teach you, but a woman can
And it is because of this that a son who can only rely on his mother
will grow to be a true man

Certain things are harder for a son to talk to his mother about
All a mother can do is tell her son she loves him,
even when communication is clogged with doubt

Certain hugs, a mother saves only for her son
A mother plays a big part of how far a man can go
and what kind of man he can become

Certain tears only a mother can wipe away
And even if his friends turn their back on him,
his mothers love, he can always count on everyday

Certain moments in their lives will not be easy ones
But together there will never be loneliness for
a mother and her son

Imperfect Rose by Cesar Reyes

Imperfect rose

You always come off as flawless, despite any imperfections in your life that only you can see

Despite any and all faults, your still the female most women would dream to be

You've always been the light that brightened up every room

You've always kept your sense of humor even when disaster lingered and loomed

You always come off as seemingly untouchable and strong

Anybody who thinks they can limit you, would in my opinion, soon be proven wrong.

You've always been the gift your friends are thankful to have

You've always been the kind of woman most men can only dream they had

You've always kept it real with everyone, there's nothing two faced about you that can be exposed.

You may not be perfect, but I think everyone who knows you will always see you as an imperfect rose

Some People. By Cesar Reyes

Some People

Some people just love to see you fail
As this is the only way in which they feel they can succeed
 
Some people just love to see you smile
These are the kind of people you should cherish and keep around you
 
Some people will never allow you do be at peace
Misery loves company, and they want to share that misery with you
 
Some people will stand by you, regardless of all circumstances  
You should remember these people not only in the bad times, but the good times as well
 
Some people will want to use you for anything and everything they can get out of you
These people are not your friends; they are leeches that will leave you when they’ve used you all up
 
Some people would literally be dead if they didn’t have you in their life
Although these people are vulnerable, you should help them if and when you can
 
Some people will smile in your face and talk about you behind your back
You can keep these people around you, but remember that they have the face of a friend and an enemy
 
Some people will always remember you, even after many years
This should just serve as a reminder of how special you truly are
 
Some people will never appreciate you regardless of how much you do for them
These are not relationships worth keeping, and you must learn to let go
 
Some people will consider you the highlight of their day
These are the people that should be the highlight of your day

All I got. by Cesar Reyes

All I Got

I have painful memories inside
I have a shortage of blood, replaced by tears that are waiting their turn
I have so many emotions I’m trying to hide
I feel like I’m stuck in a house, and helplessly watching it burn
 
My only hope in life is that everything will be easier when I’m older
Even though I feel like I’m in a burning house, as time passes my heart gets colder
 
I have so many problems,
But I haven’t got a clue
I have no direction to go to solve them
I lie to myself so much, eventually it all feels true
 
I feel lost with a purpose I haven’t found
At times Ive felt like a failure, but I still prey that I'm victory bound
 
 

You are not alone out there by Cesar Reyes

You are not alone out there

There are others who have fought the same battles you have
There are others who wipe away tears similar to the ones that you had
There are others who feel just as lonely as you are
There are others who wonder not only how, but for what reason has life brought them this far
There are others who struggle everyday to get out of bed
There are others who regret certain things that they’ve said
There are others who feel like they don’t belong anywhere and they’re just in the way
There are others who do not feel loved, and have no one to share the small miracles of the day
There are others who struggle to smile
There are others who have been waiting there lives to change for a while
There are others who constantly feel like just giving up
There are others who at times just want to be left alone, and wish the world would just shut up
There are others who do good things but who still have bad things happen to them
There are others who have lost everything and have to start all over again

He is Real by Cesar Reyes

He is real

I have not always known that there was a god
Just learning that he existed was a lesson I only recently was taught
I don’t know if I found him or he found me
I do know that he’s always been watching
And even though I am just a drop of water in an ocean, he cares about me
I have learned that he is not responsible for all the evils of the world
Lost and misguided people are the ones who are
Behind the most beautiful things in the world, you will always find him there
And even behind the most painful ones as well,
He is there to help you and not to further your pain
Ask and thou shall receive
I have never spoken directly to him,
But I know he can hear me whether I speak or not
Even though I have not spoken to him I can read the signs he sends
I know that I am not crazy
And that people will always want to label you and judge you before they help you
I have learned that I have much to learn, and that I always will
I have learned that having doubt is normal, but as you grow as a person
Doubt is something you must let go to move on
Let go of the doubt, and the insecurity,
Do your best to hold on to the faith and always remember.
He is real

All of us by Cesar Reyes

All of us
 
In some ways, I think we all struggle
I think we all have our story to tell
I think we’ve all failed
As many times or even more than we’ve succeeded
I think we all cry, when no one’s looking
We’ve all had our hearts broken
I think we all feel lost sometimes
I think we all have some lifelong challenge we have to just keep fighting
Some days we all suffer
We may not all be suicidal,
but I do think there are days when we wish we could disappear
There are days when we all feel abandoned
Everyone is born as an innocent child
The lost innocence is a shame that everyone carries
We all know what its like to own nothing, except your own problems
we all know the taste of tears
I think we’ve all felt helpless at times
Like we hadn’t a friend to confide in
I think we all have more to be thankful for than we give thanks for
I think we all would like to help, but never do
I think we can all be selfish sometimes
We all procrastinate to be better
In many in ways I think we all have more in common than meets the eye
