My pencil is broken,
But I find myself a pen, and keep writing.
My faith has been shattered,
But I still love you.
Do you think its okay to quit?
When is it acceptable to put the pen down?
                        "Quitters never accomplish anything"
(someone once told me this)
Now that i'm older, i realize its okay to quit,
You don't have to look down on yourself for putting something down that once gave you joy but now gives you endless sorrow.
its okay,
New beginnings don't come without quitting something else.
not sure about this one yet.

All I can smell is rain
All I can see is the sun creeping through the dark clouds
My favorite place to be is my car, the rain hits the sunroof, rolls down the windshield,
It gives me this soothing bliss that only rain can give you.
That sense of reality, you feel connected with mother nature.

I'm sitting in my car, Engine off, music off, thoughts are turned off as well.
Who needs anything when you have the sound of rain to ease your mind?
Thinking more and more about it,
your soul reminds me of a rainy day.
So calming, so peaceful;
Dark and grey, yet so beautifully lit up.
You are my rainy days, and I can dig it.
:)

The mornings are so much smoother than the afternoons and nights

you wake up, have nothing negative on your mind.
Make your coffee and prepare for the day ahead of you.
That's where it gets tricky for me, i'm so hopeful in the mornings;
by the afternoon i'm already disappointed in myself.
it doesn't take much to upset me
i need to learn to let things go,
let it roll off my shoulders.

It's just so hard.

To love someone is an adventure. To place your heart upon a mantle, exposing it to daggers and knives is the easiest part to succeeding at love. Love is nothing but a game of chess. Planning your every move, making sure you move two steps forward and not two steps back. Losing a piece every single move. The bishop , the knight and pawns all gone. But the board is becoming clearer and the queen is visible at last. Checkmate.

Simplicity is love
Companionship is life
Greed is evil
Live so we are happy
Live so that we are free
Breathe as if it's your last
Love as if it's never came your way

It's like a heard of sick cattle. Not mentally fit for the race of life. Sent here to be watched, treated, poked and pushed. Pumped full of ******* lies and pills, pills rioting away your insides slowly, what a lovely life. Our minds are wrapped like little pigs in a blanket, all warm and cozy, thinking we're safe. That was a lie too.

In the end were all to blame, in the end we'll all be insane.
We go through this life, some suffering over sadness, madness or jealously. I am not one to speak like I am some prophet but I've felt enough of all three, to know a little something. You must find peace and seek out positive energies, look for the happiness in everyones smile, even when you can see right through that ****** cover up. We should al love each other, not only for our differences but for all that we are because in the end we all lie the same way in our graves.
