For those who say life’s easy, they obviously haven’t tried,
For those who found it difficult, some of whom have died.

For those who are still struggling, don’t hold your head in shame,
No one said life was easy; you’re not the one to blame.

Those dark days may be difficult, but know that they will end,
Look for the brighter future around life’s winding bend
.
What troubles you today, will be a breeze tomorrow,
Don’t make the harsh decision and leaves other to face sorrow.

To know that you are loved and that they all do care,
Will lift weight from your shoulders, no more a load to bear.

Now talk about your troubles and share your problems open,
It’s not a sign of weakness; it simply shows your copin.

Sometimes life’s problems exceed us, they can be overcome.
You may have lost the battle, but the war will soon be won.

Now stand up proud while smiling and know that life is brighter.
They say god loves a trier, he also loves a fighter

So if you see a friend whose load they cannot bear,
just reach out your hand to them to show how much you care.

That one simple gesture can re inspire hope
and help someone who’s struggling to make them better cope

I'm at your new girls party
Her arms fold around your body
As I pass by to take a ****
My body, struggling to suppress a hiss
It wasn't supposed to be like this

Her eyes locked on mine
As if to say “you’ve had these times”
I know that, know he's hurtin
Pay no attention, keep slip slurpin

Of course I've had those times
I've seen more than you could fathom
Let him shadow all my shine
These words let loose my inner dragon

Far too long I stayed afloat
Even though I was breathin fire
Gotta find some new ways to cope
Before I end up on a pyre

When are we supposed to let go
I don't think I'll ever know
N what the **** is meant to be anyway
I am a wanderer in an endless maze
The hunts got me slippin away
Slurpin, sippin, slippin away
When the past calls let it go to voicemail
But I want to start talking.
I want to talk about my attempt to turn the page.
turn the ******* page
TURN IT

A page of my life
it almost ruined all following chapters. 

To make one thing clear in the beginning - I really don't want to you to pity me. I do not even want to ask for sympathy. I am writing this because I feel like I have to. Because it will allow me to turn the page completely and close this chapter forever.

I was lying in his bed
anxious, scared
but prepared.
It has always been the same
I smiled but felt shame
while he was the one to blame.

So my spirit left this bed
it was easy
stumbling to the inside of my head.

The world inside there is beautiful, colourful, calm and peaceful.
I am free, my own self and my own director while there is pain and horror outside.*

My body would stay
on the other side  
it would go another way,
on a different ride.

But that was fine,
my body was strong
could handle the crime
even though it was wrong.

my mind was focused on running
away - this is not where you belong
get through that door!!


Something was different today.
Something didn't work.
The door wouldn't open all the way.
I could feel him smirk.

The door wouldn't open.
I heard my body cry
it was aching and stopped copin'
it wanted me back, asking the question why

Didn't it know that returning wasn't an option for me?
stay brave as before, just be brave and wait for it to be over
let your mind stay free!

My body grabbed my mind
dragged it back to reality.
Just like pressing rewind.
Right into where I didn't want to be.

made me look at it, made me pay attention to it and it made me feel him 

He didn't care.
He never did.
But normally I didn't either.
This time i felt like ****.
I was in pain.

All I felt was hate and shame
Hate towards myself
towards that man that was to blame.

*I am so ashamed of myself because I never bothered about what my body was going through. Now I am convinced that I will never open it again. I will never let anyone give me a reason to do so. It has to stop

Head cracked open
Body splattered
Soul on the sideline, copin'.
Cranium smoking..
****..
I'm not insured
wish I had that part secured
Instead I chose to be Insecured..
For my Insecurity
Good thing the police is coming..
with hot coco and a blanket...

...What?

I don't understand how
I don't really see now
Eyes are just half-open
I just feel like copin'

I'm indoors to recover from outdoors
My mind's all gone as it's on its all fours
Am I abstract or do people just interpret
Things all wrong? I have to tell them stat

I'm just a tired old man with a young mind
Just getting my thoughts out there, do you mind?
I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so harsh on you
Just stop the praise and go and do what you do

They say pain is beauty,
but beauty is pain.
You give up so much
until you're frozen to the touch
The right answer to the wrong question
haunts my mind like infestation.
I handed you the knife that cut me open
the salt burns, hurts the worst
but I pretend I'm copin'

Fallin' in love is easy. The hard part is copin' with it when it ain't reciprocated. 'Cuz you're lookin' for a light that simply ain't there

Computer crash,
Computer screen flash.
Windows is now open,
Thank god for copin’.
Computer shut down now,
What to do now.
Putting up a technological fight,
This is not my daily highlight!
