I try to write a happy thing
Something that’s inspiring
But nothing seems to come out right
I’d rather try to pick a fight
Against the world we’re living in
Full of hate and ripe with sin
I’ve seen the better side of life
But those moments seem to end in strife
Because the imperfect place in which I live
Has nothing more to me to give
It doesn’t deserve a happy song
For everyone to sing along
And ignore the reality that surrounds us
There’s nothing left to discuss
Our world no longer has a meaning
The importance being what you’re gleaning
But that’s not what our lives are about
So I will choose a different route
And if it means I walk alone
I can’t undo the stitch I’ve sown
I’ve committed to my destiny
And it will be enough for me
Enough without the false appearance
Of happiness and self assurance
Fulfilled without the needless *******
That likes to get my fire lit
And this will be my happy thing
To forget it all and just start living

She said that’s not the point
But I know it doesn’t matter
The point to her is not the point to them
It’s the way our thoughts can scatter
We can’t focus on the core
Get caught up in the minutia
We’ve forgotten how to love
And I’m not talking about medusa
I mean love in stepping back
And seeing the world as more than us
But a working system of plants and animals
Built on more than trust
Because we recognize our luck
In knowing and feeling more
But it’s our deepest curse
Because our egos keep us poor
Poor in love and selflessness
Weak in strength and will
But we ignore that we’re insensitive
Because we won’t die before we’d ****

I’ll go for a walk
And take a long shower
Sing for awhile
And draw for an hour
Make a list of my worries
And put it to flames
Sleep for forever
Not sure for what I aim
Just trying to find some peace
In the crazy world we live in
And help myself ignore
All that might have been

What makes you think you’re so smart
What makes you’re point is right
You should look at your own life

They didn’t ask you what you thought
But you gave your opinion freely
But you’re not very nice, really

You’re not fooling anyone but fools
And they won’t be there when you fall
That’s when you’ll know what it feels like to be small

I hope that one day you wake up
And see the potential in the world
But for now you’re just a mean girl

But it doesn’t really matter what you say
They’re all just words anyway
I could hear them all day
And I know I’d still be okay
It doesn’t really matter what you do
Only who you do it to
Because they might give up on you
And find someone new
Nothing doesn’t really matters
Until all that climbing ladders

Takes you nowhere

It feels easier to let the time pass by
And not do a thing
Just let the days count on
Waiting

It’s easier to hope that that something will happen
All on it’s own
Just let the years go on
And sticking to what you’ve known

But nothing ever happens
When your head is full of dreams
And your heart is empty
From not doing anything

It’s hard to make the change
But it’ll be even harder
To look back at your life
And know you should’ve been much smarter

Those fears and apprehensions
Can only hold you back
Let go of what keeps you down
And get your life on track

It’s that bittersweet feeling I can’t ignore
As the waves lap against the shore
Everything’s perfect I know that much for sure
But I still sense a sadness

The clouds mean nothing without the sun
But the sun is only light
And the clouds look beautiful tonight
Yeah it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

Sitting on the beach
Touching something I thought I couldn’t reach
But it’s partly cloudy
