Life in a Hole-2019

Life is death,

To live is to die,

But have hope,

And keep your head high,

As you brace yourself for the future,

And diseases that might come,

Thoughts bad times and sad times,

Know you are not the only one,

For to live is to die,

You just have to learn,

That everyone dies,

Just accept it first and you’ll be fine,

Though it might be hard sometimes.

Life is Death-2019

Life is death,

To live is to die,

But have hope,

And keep your head high,

As you brace yourself for the future,

And diseases that might come,

Thoughts bad times and sad times,

Know you are not the only one,

For to live is to die,

You just have to learn,

That everyone dies,

Just accept it first and you’ll be fine,

Though it might be hard sometimes.

Truth Hurts-2020

What is the meaning of the word you speak,

They sound like gibberish.

I have no intention to hurt you,

For I’m the only one you trust,

But I intend to keep you safe From the truth.

The truth could shatter the light inside,

I can't let it burn out, it's my hope.

Don't you understand?

I can love you from a safe distance without getting to close,

I can't protect you from the darkness inside me.

But as I am far away, I just want to let you know,

I will always be there to comfort and guide you.

Dream vs. Reality-2020

Don't you hate it when you have things to do,

You want to be asleep dreaming,

Dreaming about the life you had before,

Dreaming about not having boring chores,

But when you wake up,

Reality hits you,

As you try and go back to sleep reality hits you again

Wake up sleepy head, you have to go to school.

No  more daydreams, no more stories,

Lifes waiting for you,

To begin a new chapter.

Live Your Life, or Hold Your Peace-2020

How dead are you?

I've seen what your life is like,

Its decent,

But you refuse to look at the good and face the bad,

So you stay in the middle,

Hoping time would stop in its tracks,

Well keep hoping, but nothing will change,

Stop looking at the past,

You can't stay stuck between reality and the future forever.

Or can you?

There's a difference between life and living,

Do you know what it is?

You can live in the moment but it won't last forever.

But with life, your legacy will last forever.

Satisfaction or Pure Happiness-2020

Stop trying to get what you want to live with satisfaction,

When you can live with happiness,

The only rule is to just be free,

Stop worrying, nothing bad will happen.

With happiness you can gain a different satisfaction.

I choose joy as Ms.Blount always said.

Living life to the fullest till I'm dead.

Satisfaction or pure happiness is just a choice,

You can also choose the path that chooses you.

Trust vs. Lies-2020

Trust is powerful, it gets you places in life

Trust is something you need It allows your soul to hold less grief,

Without trust we would be lost, alone, scared.

It makes us feel like an anchor is holding us down

This is not unusual. We need trust to steer our lives truthfully.

When you lie even a little white lie, you're only hurting yourself.

Thoughts white lies you keep telling us how you wreck yourself

They grow big and overlap, they get jumbled up with all your other thoughts,

What are you going to do?

Lies are like sharks,

 They bite you in the end,

You say you don't do it, but you did it just then

Everyone lies in the end,

They pile up like stacks of books in a library shop

Lies  are easy to use as easy they are to abuse

They chase you till the end of time,

they use karma to stop your lies

They swallow you whole with sorrow and grief

And keep you at the bottom of the ocean

Why is it so hard to lie, when the truth is at the tip of your tongue

It's right there just reach for it

But you can't…, you're afraid.
