As you are

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...

Hope

Hope is the need to be happy, when the world is weighing you down. It’s the need to smile, when everything is going wrong Hope is the need for love, when you feel like you’re unworthy. It’s the need for companionship, when you’re all alone. Hope is the need for empathy when nobody seems to understand its the need for likeminded people who can relate to how you feel Hope is being able to reach out, knowing there’s a helping hand. It’s the loyalty of friends and family, when you need them more than anything. Hope is the driving force of life, when you’re back is against the ropes. It’s what pushes you forward, when everything holds you back. Hope is the need for justice, when unfathomable acts are committed. It’s the need for something to believe in, when all else seems lost Hope is all that we have, to help us get through the worst. It’s the belief that things will get better, despite all the things that hurt.

Forgotten

It's amazing how life actually works and how people you trust, become jerks life's not meant to be easy, that's for sure and people's cruelty sure as hell has no cure It's sad fact of life that people come and go we fulfill a purpose till we aren't needed anymore loss is the hardest thing to deal with in our hearts however they leave us, we're always torn apart The pain that some ignore is all too real and it takes a long time for some souls to heal people see it as weak and just ignore the yelp not realising at all that it's all a cry for help Unfortunately that's just how people are all they do is pretend that they care they use, abuse, manipulate and ditch and they're the ones that always end up rich And yet, we still go to enormous lengths to help with every ounce of our strength even then they all walk away like we're rotten and all the good we've done, is simply forgotten 

33 and counting

33 years old, wow where did the years go? Time flies by so fast, you, cant take things slow And despite it all, I just can’t help wondering Could my life really get anymore interesting? My memory is both blessing as well as a curse At times it makes me feel that much worse 33 years of insanity pretty much from day one And lord knows, they haven’t always been fun I’ll always be grateful for all my experiences For my family, friends and my acquaintances I’m grateful too, for my enemies and foes Especially the ones responsible for my woes The choices I made weren’t always the best I know someday all my regrets will be at rest And for those who supported me through it all I am who I am because you didn’t let me fall  I’ve been privileged to know love in all its glory Despite the sad ends, they were amazing stories I’ve enjoyed life’s pleasures and I’ve felt its pain I’ve been through enough to drive a man insane I may not have achie...

Envy

Look at him, so handsome and smart Girls flocking around him, he’s like a work of art How he does it? Nobody can really say Imagine if someone looks at you this way? Look at her, so popular and beautiful Intelligent, funny and oh so graceful She can have anyone in the blink of an eye And all you can do is stare and sigh Look at them, such a close group of friends Confident that they’ll be together till the end Having each other’s backs through thick and thin If you had friends like that, how would life have been? Look at that family, so happy and loving Perfect in every way, with no pushing or shoving They’re like something out of a movie or a TV sitcom, And you just sit there, wondering where are they from? Look in the mirror, what do you see? A human being, young, strong and free Don’t worry about them or what the world sees in you Because someday, you'll be in the eye of envy too 

Letting Go

Sometimes we don’t have a choice We have to give in to that little voice Regardless of how much it hurts inside There are something’s we just have to hide It’s hard to let go of anything, nobody can deny that Regardless of what it is, it’s hard and that’s fact And as much as we suffer and hurt because of it Sometimes to move forward, we just have to quit It’s a terrible part of life, but a part nonetheless And it’s the only way we can move from the mess We have to accept certain truths about life Even if it feels like the sharp end of a knife We let go of certain sentimental belongings We even lose our pets without any warning We bury any animosity held against our peers Even if it all lingers in our memories for years The hardest thing is letting go those we love dearly Best friends, partners and especially family Sometimes circumstances force us to step back Because sadly it’s the only thing that’ll keep us on track

Reset

It's an ability we all wish we had particularly when life got terribly bad but alas that's not the way the world works we have to accept that life can be a colossal jerk  It can be anything, no matter how trivial and there's nothing you wouldn't do if it means survival we all wish we could turn back time at some point in life and hit reset so we wouldn't have to deal with the strife A mistake that cost a relationship choking last minute and losing the big championship the loss of a loved one you couldn't be there for it could be anything, we never really know We all want that button, the one that changes it all one that takes us back in time with one simple call the one that gives us another chance to make things right but like a mirage in the desert, it fades out of sight Life is fickle and there isn't much we can do to mend and only the creator knows when everything begins and ends we push forward, knowing that an opportu...

Life

Life is so fickle, it passes by so fast There’s barely any time for us to think And it’s too late when we realize that we won’t last Cos the ship has already begun to sink We take so much for granted And we leave so much behind Growing up there was much we wanted Ambitions and dreams all blind As adults we often can’t find the time To remember those dreams we had Now we slave for every nickel and dime And we will till it drives us mad We have to make use of the time we get Because when it ends, nobody can say Give your life meaning before those gates are met And no barriers will get in your way So make the most of the life that you’re given And be mindful of your every thought Live, love, be loved and be driven For our time on this is earth is short

Our unsung heroes

It's funny how much we only think about ourselves There are people that we just put on the shelves We live our lives in our own little bubbles Not thinking about those we go to when there's trouble To support our lives they battle with their own Would it hurt to return the love they've shown? They do everything for us and we are ungrateful They've always been there even to take us to school It's not that we don't appreciate what they do But we could show them we understand too They give us everything yet we take them for granted And I suppose it's about time somebody ranted Granted, in some cases there is abuse and pain And tears block your vision like a storm of rain But then stop and think about how you came to be And maybe you can come to terms with the struggles you don't see The unknown lengths, the many sacrifices They show as the road and we travel with our own devices So show some love to those who keep us from being zeroes...
