We always feel entitled in life
That the world revolves around us
To have everything with no strife
The world bends to us, it must

Except that is not our right
We deserve is what we earn
After we work and we fight
This is what some don't learn

They think life is their's to bend
That they deserve strength and pride
But without work it will be their end
Fueled only by entitlement, they died

Our only God given privilege
Is the right to be happy
To pursue that ambiguous image
All else is earned ultimately

The good life is ours to pursue
No one allowed to stand in our way
Earning our keep is hard, it's true
But our right to life will never go away

A tiger never has fear
Its roar is one of power
Its path you must clear
Or else you, it shall devour
My own fear, I want to control
I want to have a tiger's soul

A tiger always has courage
To take on any challenge
No matter the disadvantage
It will find a way to manage
With this, I could achieve any goal
I want to have a tiger's soul

A tiger is always known
It's a predator respected
Reputation fully grown
In it's roar, pride reflected
Never again hiding as a mole
I want to have a tiger's soul

A tiger is what I want to be
Someone I can be proud of
But really I need to be free
Who I am, I need to love
I will to become the tiger
Passion burning, soul on fire

Love is something unique
A feeling we long for
It makes it hard to speak
Sometimes leaves us sore
We can never deny though
It is beautiful as winter's snow

When the snow finally falls
We can only stare in awe
Our hearts, the snowflakes call
Amazing is nature's law
Never need to be spoken of
Is the beauty that is akin to love

Love enraptures the soul
It drives us to be the best
Our happiness, we take control
So our love has no contest
Like the winter's glow
Our love is beautiful as snow

Snow can melt very quickly
It's beauty already regressing
So you must act swiftly
To make the most of this blessing
Yet similar to love, there is a chance
Snow will stay like a perfect romance

If I'm not proud of who I am
If I lost all my self worth
If I am a part of the program
If I ever curse my own birth

Then I change who I am
Then I make my own worth
Then I write the program
Then I cherish life given by birth

I will become someone
Who makes others proud
So when the day is done
I will say my name loud

And acknowledge my existence
As a part of this world
Even if I live only for an instance
*It was a life worth being told

I wake up to the darkness
The morning light was gone
Replaced with the lightness
Of snow during the dawn
The gentle flakes fall and spin
The trees covered in white
Oh how long it's been
Since such beauty was in sight
There's an inherent joyful feeling
When the snow finally arrives
Warm emotions send me reeling
A welcoming of cold into our lives
Because of the stillness of winter
I see beauty so amazing, I shiver

I felt all of this pain
Tired of all these bothers
So to douse the flame
I asked help from others
But I just heard the sound
Of me being turned down

I didn't understand
Why did they not believe
That I needed a hand
I wasn't trying to deceive
So why do they frown
And turn me down?

My life may be great
Friends and family here
Yet myself I hate
And the future I fear
Lost and need to be found
Yet you turn me down

I trusted all of them
To help me up when I fell
But now I'm just a problem
An issue to expel
So it doesn't matter I drown
You would rather turn me down

The only people you trust
Must be chosen like fine art
Never feeling like they must
Their help always from heart
So they will never let me down
They make me feel safe and sound
Jacque
It hurts when people you trust don't acknowledge your problems because it just adds on to theirs. Instead of feeling more pain, I'd rather find those who I care about and will reciprocate the same.

I lived at home so long
And then one move away
Makes home feel wrong
My new place I want to stay

Away from my old problems
I don't want to go back
A new experience blossoms
I finally feel on track

This new life feels better
Home isn't home anymore
The sun shines brighter
Allowing me to explore

Despite forgetting my roots
I am someone I want to be
Eating from life's fruits
To experience life fully
