Ask yourself, "is this who I'm supposed to be?" "Is this all this world has to offer me?" "Must I be surrounded by all this negativity?" "What do I have to do to find serendipity?" Think of what you've been forced to survive  And be thankful for everyday you're alive  Be grateful for the real people, family and friends And for the loyalty that never ever bends Forget about those who have been hurtful  And all the people who only saw you as useful  Because they aren't worth the time or the effort  And you're better off without all the hurt  Always face forward, don't dwell on the past Cherish the memories, even if they are vast Don't pull the punches, fight on and fight hard  And don't let anyone make you drop your guard This is exactly who you're supposed to be  Even if some are just too ignorant to see  Strive to be the vessel of your own changes And you will overcome life's many challenges  Don't sto...

Those with golden hearts Are cursed from the start  They feel more than others  And as such, they suffer  They love unconditionally  And make decisions irrationally  They cling to glimmers of hope  Cos it's the only way they cope  But they're often put to the test And they hurt more than the rest Cos they are driven by empathy  And are clouded by sympathy  Easily open and freely used  And quite often they are abused   Hearts that thrive on loyalty Honesty, love, and integrity They give too much too soon And they never end up immune To pain, to suffering, and grief It always seems like there's no relief No matter how good the intentions They don't even get an honorable mention It's almost a law that is unspoken That hearts of gold always end up broken

Who is good for us and who isn't? Who improves us and who doesn't? It's up to us to choose, though it is tough  Who we want by our sides, when life gets rough  Friendships are a dime a dozen, that's a fact  And everyone claims that they have your back As we get older, everything changes  Even best friends, can end up strangers  But it's up to us, it's our call to make Even if the decision is or ends up a mistake  And though looking out for ourselves is a must It is important to know who we can trust  Because we all fester about who will be there, And sometimes we're blind to people who really care  Communication is another essential  Because a lack of it, can be a defining differential  We can a do lot by just reaching out to each other  And resolve any issues we have with one another  If we accept our faults, we can progress more  As human beings we have to, in order to grow  It’s easy to blame others for our shortco...

Sometimes we never know What's real and what's a show We take People at face value Without knowing what's true We trust without blinking And love without thinking We confess and we confide Thinking nothing can divide But sometimes we get hurt The ones we trust, slinging dirt And then their truth is revealed Their agenda's no longer concealed And the pain is almost numbing Because we never saw it coming And the ones we feel will never break Cause the most painful heartache But that's just how life works out Not all friendships go all out That may be a hard pill to swallow Betrayal can make anyone feel hollow Friendship is more than time spent It's not transactional, there's no rent It's more than drinks and companionship And it's more than just a relationship It's support through good and bad It's a hug when you're happy or sad It's unconditional love and respect Without ever knowing what to expect Above all...

On our family, loved ones and friends We only see the good in them all And hope they’ll catch us when we fall We blindly put our hearts in their hands Regardless of where they stand But sometimes that trust is misplaced And we end up in a really dark place Trust is hard to rebuild when it’s broken Especially when no words are spoken It leaves our hearts broken and tattered Making us feel like we never really mattered But that’s life and not everyone stays And we still open our hearts every day Because nobody wants to live life alone And even if it’ just a voice on the phone We need someone to talk to and to listen Because our own minds can feel like prison It's the people that stay that are an absolute godsend They truly care and will be there till the end But still, for all, it would be naive  To think that even they won't leave But it's not wrong to trust or open our hearts Because we never know what it may start? It could be ...

Why is it so hard these days To find someone who actually stays? Is it really selfish and unfair To want just one person to really care? Humans are screwed up creatures Lost, despite their beautiful features They only know how to lie, cheat and steal And nobody shows how they truly feel Nowadays people are just cold and cruel And they play you and make you feel like a fool Undying Loyalty is a thing of the past And thus,  no friendship or relationship will last But then, there are still a few rare cases Where we find people without multiple faces There are those who are loyal and caring Particularly when hard times are blaring People like this hardly exist anymore Where it's not an act or elaborate show A genuine few who aren't full of their own faeces And these rare folks are an endangered species
