it's 11:56 and my thoughts bounce back to you / how you entered my life as a hurricane and / used me as your life preserver

6 rules about life
1. Life is full of beauty. The stars in the sky. A lovers embrace. The leaves changing color and falling to the ground. A cat's meow. A husband and wife - together after 50 years. A child's laugh. A mother's cry of happiness. Young love. Kids riding bikes. A family spending time together. The gentle wave of the ocean. The sunset. The sunrise. Everything in between. Life is full of beauty. / 2. Life may change for the worse. You could get laid-off or your lover may leave. A family member may die or a baby might die in the womb. A child may start failing school. Someone might get sick - very sick. But... / 3. Life may change for the better. You might get that promotion. You child may get straight A's. A person's sickness will be healed. A baby might be born. Your lover might say 'I do'. You might travel to a new country. You might buy a house and raise a family. But,, whatever life throws at you, take it with a smile and grace. Something good is coming.

Black and White
I see the world in black and white / The rich man complex is blowing up the world / But, the price comes with a bite

********
Trying to stay positive with anxiety/depression is like trying to jump waves with a tsunami / And I’m drowning with a smile plastered on my face / “I’m fine”

Chocking on Lies
The lies you told burned every bridge / between you and me - reality / red rain falls and fall turns leaves

Chops
I read a book and it was called "Spring" / because that's what season it was and it was perfectly accompanied by tea / my parents were in love and my sister was talking about college

Coffee Blues
Run and don’t come back / inside the walls of your caged mind, ghost moan and scars scratch / on the outside, your smile breaks and your nose grows long

its really sinking in now / the new me, the one that's not shy / or afraid of the dark
