There’s nothing to worry about
and that’s what makes me doubt
~much love
Emma Price Mar 2018

Ignorance is easy
It doesn’t make us ******
But means we are busy
Stuff flying towards us from all angles makes us dizzy
We hear something
But it means nothing
We ask is it really that bad?
Our brushing away of things is quite sad

It’s hard to notice sometimes
That one decision can change everything, until it has, and we are out of time
And crazy things do occur
That wouldn’t have if we hadn’t made one tiny decision, we’re sure
We remember something
But it means nothing
We ask is it really that bad?
And about our own changes, get mad

Peel back the layers and see
That maybe it didn’t change me
As much as it seems on the outside
This is where my soul resides
And it has drifted back to where it was before
You’ve experienced this before, I’m sure
We feel something
But it means nothing
We ask was it really that bad?
We’re selfish more than just a tad


After a tragedy
We feel that memory loss could never be
Scars so evident
But our emotions are all spent
We don’t quite know how
To keep living in light of it now
We hear something
But it means nothing
We ask is it really that bad?
And in our own emotional distress, we are clad

We ask is it really that bad?
Because we knew it was bad
But
Not
Bad
Enough
To warrant us spending our love

For us to care
No time to spare
now read just the bolded words
written about the Holocaust, and A victim of the Burundi genocide

Nothing I haven't already been doing
but also become an aero engineer
Just keep loving people in every moment
but also get married
Engage with my surroundings as I always have
but also become a mother
Continue optimizing every moment
but also win a Nobel prize
Forever live all in, changing the world with every action, as I am now
but also get a PhD
~much love

Means a lot more
than everything I ever will

They said to keep being sweet,
but I guess I hit delete.
Inspired by notes from my middle school leadership class.

Enjoy the time you have, cause you're not promised any more
And I know that sometimes it can be hard to ignore

But you can never have it all
So just go 'head and have a ball

While you can
Time may be fleeting, but that doesn't mean you can't make the most out of it.
~much love

May the words of the Lord
be the voice of our hearts

I don’t wanna be her when I could be me
But I do wanna be the one you see
~much love~

I feel like everything is for show,
even when I am entirely alone

I feel like I'm just playing along,
even when I am singing my own song

I feel like a fraudulent mess,
even when I am trying, every issue, to address

I feel like my contribution is minimal,
even when my success is undeniable

I feel like I'm falling behind,
even when I am leading the charge in their mind
~much love

Self deprecation
is the best preparation
for accepting defeat
on the occasions you're beat
~much love

Don't think I didn't notice the way you looked at me sometimes
That room wasn't the first time I had noticed your eyes

Some say wisdom is                                                  You truly do find
                             Hard to find                                                       Wisdom
But I believe that is because                                       As soon as you
                             They are saying anything at all                          Search for it
And wisdom comes
                              In the silence
"If you can't hear the music, you're talking too loud"

What is the distinguishing factor
In living happily ever after?

It seems that I am always
working hard,
and it is always
hardly working.

Tell me I'm wrong,
and you're probably right.
Tell me I've made a mistake,
and you're probably not mistaking.
Tell me my judgment is bad,
and your judgment is probably good.
Tell me it could be better,
and it probably couldn't be worse.
You can tell me I'm worthless,
but I'll never be worth less than priceless.
~much love

But you and I... we’re going places.
Will we go together?

I don't wanna change history
I just wanna change the future so drastically
that I don't have to regret the past
because the now is passing  so fast
~much love
You
Emma Price Jul 2019
You
I am beyond proud of you,
and I want you to be proud, too.
You will never cease to amaze;
what you do in a moment takes most people days.
And I absolutely love what I’m seeing
‘cause you’re an incredible human being.
I don’t expect anything from you,
but I appreciate everything from you.
~much love

We were meant to be,
even if not romantically
sometimes people just click, and that can mean friendship, too
~much love

remind yourself today
Emma Price Jan 2019
Exude confidence
and they will perceive experience in you
Keep your head held high
and they will look up to you
Genuinely smile
and they will see beauty in you
Believe in yourself
and they will believe in you, too

You're not faking it, though
You're making it so
~much love

On paper,
nowhere to go but down

In real life,
nowhere to go but up

I like my real chances better
have somewhere to go over perfection, I'd rather
~much love
Emma Price Sep 2019
With lots of pride
But no love in your eyes
What do I need to do
To be worthy of all of you
~much love
