Well there has to be something that makes & keeps you happy.
You hold on to that.
Never let it go, cause it saves you.
Every time you fall, it picks you up & carries you away.
Away from all the pointless anger & distress.
From all the things in this world that don’t matter.
The things that do are the best of their kind.
They uplift us.
Give us light & bring us hope.
They help us become better versions of ourselves.
That’s all we can be.
Until we pass away & leave the world a bit better than when we arrived.
What a beautiful life to live & experience.
Just keep one thing in mind.
You hold value & the world needs you.
Otherwise it would be the same boring place over & over again.
People care, they just don’t say it out loud.
The ones that do though, they will always be there for you.
Waiting to pick you back up...

Side of My Mind
pig Aug 2016
I have two friends that no one else can see.

Both of them have troubles that they confide in me.

No, they’re real. Just like you and I.

The problem being they set their emotions aside.

They hide them in a place no one else dares to go.

A location hidden like a buried treasure-trove.

I wish you could see them and what they mean to me.

The truth is they’re right here. They’ve become a part of me.
This one is about two friends I used to have. I think about them often. They live on in my mind.

Could’ve sworn we had it all planned out.
We ended up dropping out of something I always cared about.
I acted like nothing ever got through to me.
Like I didn’t have any feelings except the ones reserved for me.
I saw what it did to me and how they got to you.
I could have tried to stop them but they’d have just gone right through.
Now them and I are one and I can finally see.
That I threw away someone that meant the world to me.
Wrote this one a long time ago... Hang in there. Things do get better.
