Be the one who chooses
Not the one waiting to be chosen
People’s lives don’t end when they die
It ends when they lose faith
When you give up, that's when the game ends
Don't wait till your last breath to make amends
Write your last chapter before you run out of ink
Before it's due give yourself enough time to think
And perfect your grammar, have no regrets
Never gamble your life away, make no bets
Don't hold onto promises you can't keep
And say your prayers every night before you sleep
Believe in miracles and The Man Up Above
And never let yourself wither away in vain...
Just remember his love
And last but not least...
Don't waste all your tears
Don't drink too many beers
Don't succumb to your biggest fears
It could be tonight, or it could be next week
But stay hopeful and strong,
And never let them see you cry
Remember all this before you die.

I plead with Cupid
Begging him not to shoot the arrow
I want to overlook the whole situation, call it stupid
But I know that I may not have control over the trail as it becomes more and more narrow
I turn and face what I hope is the light
I see a way out, but it will cause someone pain
He doesn't deserve it, and I don't want to fight
If I break his heart, what can I hope to gain?
All I will lose is a best friend
But at least people will stop shipping us
But if I stop talking with him, maybe my ego will start to mend
You don't usually appreciate what you have, until there's no way to get it back, and this sad truth will better acquaint me with life in the real world... That's a plus👍

Do I hide my regret, or hide from my regret?
Do I conceal my weaknesses, or face them?
Do I look brave in the face of my fears, or cower before them?
So many choices to build my character, but not much time.
I need to make decisions for myself, instead of going with the flow.
The last time I went with the flow, it ended up leading the dance
I made me follow blindly, even though I didn't trust the river.
It flung me into a vast sea, where I struggled to stay above the surface
And then I realized...
It didn't care if I drowned.

Atop a tall mountain towering the Whos,
A dark plan in the mind of the Grinch brews.
Since it was revenge he sought.
This dark plan requires deep thought.
Could it be done?
A demolition of every Who?
Would he use a gun?
Have a little fun?
Perhaps a fire will do.
Yes, flames should do the trick.
But he’d have to make it quick.
A consequence for making him turn on his snarkness,
And for making him turn on his overall darkness,
And for leaving his comfort zone.
But without any Whos, he’d finally sit atop a peaceful thrown.
And after this amber-red sight,
He’ll finally feel alright.
And once the fire was lit,
Back on his mountain, he’d sit.
Cindy Lou Who memories came flooding in.
He remembered how she’d melted his cold heart within.
And her sweet little grin,
With all her kind Zen,
She’d do it all again.
As he watched her town burn to ashes,
He felt instant regret of his actions,
And his walking turned into dashes!
He ran as fast as light, practically took flight!...
To save the one girl that mattered most in his life.

I know the pain is too much to bear
But if I endure a little longer, maybe there will be a reward
I can't know for sure...
But I have faith
Others make it look fun, and never let you know what you're truly in for
It's pure agony, and you never know how long it will take
If you make the journey with someone else,
Know that you can only help yourself
They have to fight their own battles,
And you must wait, even as their world rattles

The world will fall, crumple, and crash,
Until all you can see before you are embers of
ash
After all other sounds cease, the crackling
flames will be a relief
As opposed to the cries of everyone you've
ever known, and the reassurance that they are
all put to rest
Will be your only available belief
And it's probably for the best...

I don't care how happy it makes you
You'll drift off into a blemish-less land
And wake up in Hell, it's true
Sleep and pain go hand in hand
Nightmares are reality's dreams
You can only hope to stay awake for this
Because you know if you let your guard down
you'll lose to one of life's biggest schemes

Am I strong enough to outgrow my limits?
I ponder with the little time I have left...
I need to overcome the hurdles that slow me down, or I will never learn to fly...
And I'll carry the weight of my regrets, which have great heft
Time has always been a barrier
And as for the luggage of my life, I will always be the carrier
All I want is to be free
But I am forever chained to the pain inside of me
I hate that I can never seem to say the right thing
And that is what keeps me from moving forward, so I read into every risk, but still...
I have to take a swing
I no longer have to be weighed down by this thing called "perfect"
Because I can embrace my flaws, and reflect
So, even when things get hard, I can always be a better person than I was yesterday
And that is how strength is born.
It isn't simply the absence of weakness, but the product of resilience you must relive everyday
And now that I know this, I won't ever be bound by the Things I Hate; By this I am sworn

I still find myself groveling at the feet of your mercy
I'm infinitely stowed away as a slave to your pride,
and will never be free
I've lost all hope for survival
I have no hope of one day calling you "friend" or
"rival"
But neither of us care
I just want to live, but you've got nothing to lose, no
sudden pain to bear
My words mean nothing to you, so I'm sure there's
no way out
I know I've lost this game, without a doubt

How much blood shall I bleed
Before pain is believed?
How much sorrow shall endure
Before I realize there's no cure?
How much torture do I have to stick out
Before I succumb to defeat?
Alright, you win
I'll willingly give in.
But first, I have one last question as my
request...
Did I live my life to the fullest, or was that
not my best?
