Just a girl trying to find her place in this large world. Just a girl who loves love, and adores life. I'm a writer who if not in writers block can amaze anyone. I am a extreme romantic, and I forgive easy, probably one of my bad qualities.

There are only four questions of value in life. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for? And what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

~Once, a long time ago, all people had two heads and four legs.
Then the gods threw down thunderbolds and split everyone in two. Each half then had two legs and one head. But, the separation left both sides with a desparate yearning to be reunited because, they each shared the same soul. Ever since then, all people have spent their lives searching for the other half of their soul...~

You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you.When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight long after they are gone.When you can still taste their kiss after you have said good-bye.You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they are gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spine. When they are the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning and say, "I love you" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When they are hurt just because of these tears. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them, and can't figure, how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you are incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and soul, and mind all at once.

"You know, there are two kinds of tears. Tears for those who leave you. And tears for those you never let go."
"Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity, it just doesnt work"
~Sometimes in life you wish for everything, then there comes a moment when you stop wishing. It's not because you got what you wanted, but because you finally accepted that not all wishes can come true
~When we love someone, we never exactly give up on them. Even if we get hurt badly, we'll find a way to ease the pain and learn to understand, and forgive- that's how love works~
~Sometimes you can't believe in yourself until someone else believes in you~
~It's amazing how many cares one looses when one decides not to be something, but to be someone.~
~Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful nor conceeded. It is never rude or selfish, it does not take offense, and it's not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in the other's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes~
~To Conquer others is to have power, to conquer yourself is to know the way~
~It's amazing how one little conversation can change things forever~
~My dream is not to be everything to everyone, but to be something to someone~
" Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal"
"Creation is a drug i cannot do without"
"be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves"
"everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing himself"
"destiny is what you are supposed to do in life. fate is what kicks u in the ass to make u do it"
" nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
"there is nothing ugly; i have never seen an ugly thing in my life"
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that is why we call it the present!
You never lose by loving, you always lose by holding back.

~One SONG can spark a moment
One FLOWER can wake the dream
One TREE can start a forest
One BIRD can herald spring
One SMILE begins a friendship
One HANDCLASP lifts a soul
One STAR can guide a ship at sea
One WORD can frame the goal
One VOTE can change a nation
One SUNBEAM lights a room
One CANDLE wipes out darkness
One LAUGH will conquer gloom
One STEP must start each journey
One WORD must start a prayer
One HOPE will raise our spirits
One TOUCH can show you care
One VOICE can speak with wisdom
One HEART can know what is true
One LIFE can make a difference.~
~Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.~

Kitchen Waltz
~Alyssa Jontae Trager~
Copywright~Alyssa Trager 2004

Even though dinner has passed and the food is tucked away
I can still hear faint whispers spoken by the dishes
Like Beauty and the Beast they retell a story
The story of the night we danced.

Although it’s winter now and no longer fall
The sent of our happiness and the sound of our laughter still shines bright
Just like the stars that once shown through the dark sky
And hid all our sadness within their shine.
When you taught me to dance and we waltzed in my kitchen
I can still smell the aroma from my embarrassment that night

Tonight like normal I walked through my kitchen
But this time I stopped to appreciate
All the memories that linger like magic on the counter top.

That fall night is a memory that I see as clear as yesterday
Mostly because of your smile.
That night I realized that with you reality is better than dreaming
And I live it again walking through my kitchen.

From the shadows comes rumors of peace

~~Dedicated~~
To those who actually take time to care!

I watch the world with eyes tainted by neglect and dreams,
With eternal smiles and passive arguments,
With spinning quotations, and adventures to embark
On a journey to one-day help shape this earth.
Sitting alone in my chaotic clad room
Dressed with eyes and frozen souls,
Cherished memories and seeping with antici-pation.
I envision a dream, a hope, a wish
To one day in the future, pass over all that has been
And create a living now.

I watch the world with eyes tainted by neglect and dreams
With dying souls that carry with them dying dreams.
While genocide bears many faces
That come with an invitational smile,
And grin with climatic collapse.
Day-by-day my eyes burn at the world,
And my voice is tired of screaming and trying
To put at least some sense into the growing naïve world.
Are we all that arrogant and wrapped up in our own lives
To miss out on young girls' dependency cries?
Our own people are being pushed back because of
Our own dissapointments and closing our own mind's.

I watch the world with eyes tainted by neglect and dreams
With streaming banners of rainbow pride, that is let down by a belief.
With discrimination fleeing past my ears, and my own decision to deafen it.
With a love for love and a need for acceptance, that is at times pushed down!
Where there is a strive to ruin this climate, because of some "oil reserve."
With the love for money, and the love for power too strong.
My grip on the world only tightens as it attempts to persuade me away!
I will not be moved…
The future is at our hands, it is at our own beg and call,
Is the youth of today, just ready to push it all away? For what?
Take a hold on yourself, and then attack the world.

I watch the world with eyes tainted by neglect and dreams.
With growing technology, and dying traditions
With breathtaking ignorance, and mind blowing laziness.
While preaching to choir.
While dancing to blind.
While singing to the deaf,
And hugging the numb
I will one day help fix the world.
There are far too many deaths, far too many screams
Far too many broken dreams.
There is too low of expectations just hairs away from their magnificence.
Breaking points are so low, Breaking is so high.
Mental states have become untreatable, and science is untraceable.

I watch the world with eyes tainted by neglect and dreams
With colossal tears and miniature smiles.
I wish not for the world, fatalism, but for optimism.
Death comes to quickly, and too inconsequentially.
To many ages can pull the trigger to that gun, can hold that "God" in their hands.
Too long have we forgotten, what it means to listen,
Too long have we forgotten, what it means to love.
Open your eyes America-Europe-Asia-Africa-India-Australia-Antarctica-Russia-china-Middle east-and islands of the world.
Open your eyes and please, see through mine. See the toll this is taking on the world!

I watch the world with eyes tainted by neglect and dreams,
But dreams that will guide the way to a better future,
A better reality,
A better chance at peace.
