We’re all driven by our emotions By how we feel, in any situation We're built for both joy and pain Even if it drives us all insane It's the way of the world we live in Even if sometimes it feels like a prison That's human nature, how it's meant to be We feel everything we touch, hear and see Love, happiness, pain, and sadness Stress, frustration, anger, and madness Our emotions can break us or keep us intact Because they always determine how we react Our reactions are based on what we feel And sometimes it clouds fake from real Emotions also define how we see others And sometimes dictates how we treat one another They can unite and separate people And give us strength or make us feeble We're born with free will to make our own choices And we have a right to use our own voices But our voices aren't always strong Because sometimes they can steer us wrong So think about the feelings, each and every day Because in reality, our emotions can lead us astray

As we all battle through the darkest of days Let’s all be thankful for the ones who stayed Because at your side there will be a few Who will hold your hand and guide you through Shoulders to cry on when you’re at your worst Friends you can lean on that you didn’t see at first People who understand and will always be there Reminding you of love when you feel nobody cares Isolation can take a toll, it’s relentless and unkind It plays on our weaknesses and leaves us blind We aren’t the only ones enduring its darkness Sometimes it’s hard to fathom its harshness It makes us feel lonely though we aren’t really alone And it provided a loyalty we have seldom known So let’s be thankful for those who kept us all sane And get past the  darkness and be together again

Life is sometimes really unfair Showing us things that really aren’t there It’s like reading a cover of a book Sometimes all we can do is look We never know what it’s like inside And it’s not up to us to decide Fate has already made up its mind That life is going to be unkind It always shows us what we can’t possess How we get around it is anyone’s guess We see people living extravagant lives And we can only envy as they thrive Like a child wanting an expensive toy But it’s another unattainable joy We see love and envy romance In our hearts we would kill for a chance But sometimes it’s just not meant to be Or at least we feel like we may never see That fairy tale ending we want real bad And we live on, still alone and sad It’s all so close and yet so far We feel it’s part of who we are Like you’re that character in the story Who tries so hard but finds no glory Like a window shopper in the rain all wet Wanting something, we can never...

Its captivating aroma and scintillating taste Not one single drop will ever go to waste A fusion so great it will always be savored Cos nobody can question its amazing flavour You can’t put a price on this magnificent drink One little sip and you’re no longer on the brink It’s so relaxing and therapeutic in its own way Every sip is like a warm hug on a really cold day Best enjoyed in the company of good friends And the banter continues even after it ends Whether it’s venting or serious conversation It’s also great for a date or an intervention Even on the loneliest days, it’ll ease your mind Especially when the world is being really unkind It’s that perfect blend not too bitter not too sweet That makes a steaming hot Mocha an ideal treat

I see you, who you really are I see the pain beneath the scars I see the fear locked in your heart A fear of love, tearing you apart Inside, you want that companionship That someone who won't abandon ship But you're afraid to open your mind Cos in the past, someone was unkind Yet I see it, the love you so desperately hide I see the cravings you have locked inside But it's not my place to tell you how to live Nor is it anyone else's advice to give But I see it all, hidden deep inside you I see through you, cos I've been there too And that strong face that the world sees May fool many, but you'll never fool me Cos I see the loneliness in the tears you don't cry And I see it all, in your lying eyes 

We always look for that common ground People who can relate to us are seldom found We all crave the same like-minded companionship The kind that feels like more than a normal friendship We always look for that truly understanding heart People who know what we’ve been through before we start That one person we enjoy talking to, someone who listens One who you can laugh and cry with, without inhibition It’s rare that we actually find someone who gets everything And when we do find them, we’re quick to let them in We open up hearts to them without holding anything back And just by being there, they help us get our lives back on track We trust them completely and they become our best friends And we hope that they won’t break that trust till the very end We all need that one person, that one confidant in our life The ones who will never leave us, even when we endure strife They are the ones we turn to when things go completely wrong Through the h...

There are times we see things that aren't there Like mirages things just dissappear in to thin air We lead with our hearts and its a waste of time Because we get so close and we drop the dime We feel like our dreams are an arm's length away But the truth is we're no closer than yesterday That's just how life truly is at the end of it all Things and people we love, make us feel small We all want to be happy with perfect lives to lead We make all that effort to plant the initial seed We plan it out and we only believe in success Then it alll goes down hill and becomes a mess I guess that's just what it is, we just have to deal And understand that somethings just aren't real It's probably the only way to beat the confusion And accept that our minds are deceived by illusions

We’ve all felt those god awful feelings The kind that hurt so bad they leave us reeling Some people will never understand the pain Or how it slowly but surely drives us insane Depression is a brutal killing machine It’s felt by millions, though it’s rarely seen Most suffer in silence and bottle it all inside And it feels like there’s no bright side It has no remorse, the merciless pain it brings No matter what it stems from, it’s unforgiving Some claim that being emotional is a cry for attention But those people don’t realize that it’s not the intention There’s no way to measure how much pain one endures And nobody has the right to judge that pain, that’s for sure People can be vicious and insufferably remorseless fools And to ridicule someone who suffers, is just plain cruel Imagine the difference we help could make in someone’s heart If we had just listened to them and been there from the start We could save countless lives if we could ju...

He had everything any man could need Just like the arrogant Prince in that fairy tale story Day by day he lived it up and his ego would feed Never realizing he himself would undo his on glory And just like that, one day he lost it all His life and riches gone and his heart broken Upon his knees he watched his kingdom fall His tears describing words unspoken Now all alone and his past a distant memory The life he knew slipped through his fingers Locked in his lonely tower for what seems like a century His appearance changed, like a beast he lingers The scars he bares from self-inflicted wounds Watching the world go by from his own personal hell Hoping that one day he will no longer be marooned and like the Beast in the story, he too will be saved by a Belle

Have you ever liked that one particular person? The one that everyone says is wrong for you, But despite it all in your heart, they're perfect, That one person, that you wanna talk to all the time, About pretty much everything, cos they're out of the box And because they can relate, you instantly feel that connection? The one you didn't expect to ever reply to your simple 'hello'? The one that unexpectedly stole your heart, ? With that captivating smile or that cheeky smirk, They become the first and last person you think about everyday, A glance at a night club or a picture on social media, And your heart and mind are in a tail spin, And when its time to actually speak to them, Your tongue gets tied in a knot and the words don't come out right, Even the message tone on your phone gets you excited, The one that makes you feel like anything is possible, Like you can endure anything, And the one you would do anything for, But when they sudde...

It's a given that in life, people always come and go, some stay forever, others for just a moment or so, Either we don't understand or see their full potential And at the time, we're closed to their credentials There are people who genuinely open their hearts And with certain people, we don't know where to start we just assume that they'll always be there for us through thick and thin without putting up a fuss But the sad fact is after that initial seed is planted these are the same people, that we take for granted we don't realise they may not be around too long at all and when we reach for them, we'll most likely fall Fact is, sometimes we need that support in our lives especially as we get older and it gets difficult to survive we make harsh decisions and leave good people without a word they've moved on, and you haven't even heard Some just text and ask ' hey, how was your day?' or 'wanna catch up for a drink or dinner someday?' w...

Everyone wants to be the good guy or the hero, although sometimes it might not be right, sometimes its being the one nobody cares about, the one who everyone steps on and uses at work, the one who never has good luck with relationships the one who is always the third wheel, the chaperon, the one who hold's the door open for everyone the one who sometimes feels being alone, is best  seldom does being the good guy actually mean anything he's the guy that sits at the bar all by his lonesome, the broody one, who his friends always complain about but no one approaches because he looks like an outcast the shy one who doesn't know what to say to the girl he likes the one who loses out to the guy with deep pockets, good looks, broad shoulders and a six pack the one who walks away and disappears without a trace the one who gets left behind, because he doesn't play politics he's the honest one and oddly the lonely one, the recluse, whose bes...

smiling, living through darkness and pain finding solace in all the scars and sutures peering through a window at the falling rain and tearing at the very thought of a lonely future dreaming of solitude on the islands hallow shores observing in envy at the happiness in the world the pretender lives, broken and alone with all his woes even in crowds, in his heart the blood incessantly curled but as he moves on through life, the face he wears is strong a tortured soul, once so full of life, just simply fades never intending to do anyone any wrong nursing scars left from serrated edged blades knowing no fear of man, only fears of responsibility moving through life, drowning in memories of yesterday knowing there are others who suffer from life's perpetual complexity from failed attempts to drown sorrows, dull hangovers everyday hoping that one day an end will come to this ill-gotten charade through poetry, comedy, mindless benders and games reminiscing, memories in a mind so brutally ...

You, the woman who once owned my heart, You, the one I fell in love with from the start, You, the one with a smile that light up the dark, You, the one who owned my heart left a mark, You, the one whose love was more than perfect, You, the one I lost, because of decisions I now regret, You, the one I once called my soul mate, You, the one I would have died for without debate, You, the one with the voice I longed to hear, You, the one who gave me a reason to show no fear, You, the one whose love I could not resist, You, the one whose hugs and kisses, were absolute bliss, You, the one whose hand fit so perfectly in mine, You, the reason the sun would always shine, You, the one with whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life, You, the reason I got through so much strife You, the one whose arms I effortlessly fell in, You, the one who melted me with your cheeky grin, You, the one with the lips I once longed to kiss, You, the woman, I will always miss.

She was perfect, at least she was to me nobody else could take her place, not one can I see she was always more than just the girl I love, but I was a fool and I lost her when push came to shove She slipped through my fingers like grains of soft sand and into the fire I jumped, from the sizzling pan there was so much that I should've done to keep her she kept falling out of reach, she just slipped further Through the darkness, she seems to have found the light maybe this time with you, she's finally done right so give her everything, all that love that she deserves all the hugs and kisses, that you've held in reserve Be there for her, just listen when she talks Be there through hard times and protect her as she walks grab a hold of her heart and hold it tightly, don't lose your grip like I did, not even slightly She's a strong woman, there is no doubt, intelligent and beautiful, a true knockout you're a lucky man and I want you to know yo...

Once again he fights to go to sleep, wanting to make things right and earn his keep everyday he battles memories of his past he craves to be free of pain at long last Blood, sweat and tears, spilled like a soldier, with every hour that goes by, he feels the world get colder in his heart of hearts, he knows he's not the only one that suffers one would think all the scars would make him tougher How does one survive a life of broken dreams?, to clear a mind so beaten, internally he screams continuing down that long and lonely road, his shoulders weighed down by a heavy load Once again lying a wake in his bed, wondering if he can make true, the visions in his head, life is a fight, a battle and sometimes a war emotions so pure, so painful, so raw Battered and beaten, he keeps getting back to his feet, knowing he has to stand up, even in the face of defeat onward he plods and pushes through the demons both near and far and his memories will haunt him forever, lik...
