To fret over the plights of yesterday
Is to start today late
And to worry of what tomorrow brings
Is to waste away the day
So be free for now
Laugh and smile and love
For in the end
All that matters
Is this moment
Here and now

Sitting in a room full of things
But the things are just things and they don’t mean a thing
Because a person is not a thing
They are a person
And a person is just a compilation of memories and feelings
But if a person is no longer making memories or feeling things
Then they are just the reflection of a person
And reflections are just what you see in a mirror
And a mirror is just a thing
And things don’t mean a thing
I am a thing in a room full of things

Stuck in an infinite cycle
Like a song left on repeat

Destruction
Creation
Destruction
Creation
Hope
Anguish
**­pe
Anguish

Despite my ultimate demise
I always get up
Just to fall again

In my grave I’ll rot
Waiting
For those who won’t come
Waiting
For those who aren’t worth it
Waiting
For those who don’t care

In my grave I’ll rot
Longing
For those who don’t love
Wishing
For those who don’t miss
Hoping
For those who don’t remember

In my grave I’ll rot
Remembering
Those who were there
Feeling
For those I touched
Proud
Of those who I influenced

In my grave I’ll rot
Easy

Life came between us
Tore us apart
Now we're back together
But this ain't the start
I gave you my all
You took it and ran
Things didn't work out
Now you're calling again
Try to say no
But I let you in
Ashamed of myself
Because I let you win

You are the shell
Of a girl I once knew
I no longer recognize
The words you speak
Or the way you move
Behind your eyes
I still see the old you
Trapped inside
Scared

My love is like the ocean
Waves of it surge forward
Towards the shore
Pushing and pulling
I grow nearer and nearer
But every time
Right before I'm close enough
The moon pulls me back
I retreat
Deeper and deeper
Never quite reaching my goal

I am a body floating in an empty pool
Not moving in any direction
Just floating
You left me here
For some time I have lied still
Content with my idleness
And all at once
I am in a rushing sea
The waves crashing
And water spraying
My body finally moving once again
My surroundings no longer stagnant
I am free

How to find clarity
When staring into the void
Searching for answers
To the questions I avoid
Wandering lost
Like a man without eyes
Stumbling and falling
With no help from allies
But it’s hard to be lost
With no exit in mind
I care for the journey
Not what’s at the end that I’ll find
In love with the maze
All it’s walls and it’s turns
An end to the race
Is not of my concerns
For I don’t wish to be found
Discovered by all
All I want is to continue
My endless fall
Back into darkness
From which I came
Seen by none
Known by not even my name

The sour grapes of death
Are brewed to make this wine
That God force feeds us

The taste is bitter
The color is dark
And the smell is rank

We may not be thirsty
Yet  he will pour
Filling us with despair

We will suffer
Drown in our agony
Be consumed by our torment

But come one day
We will see
It was all for the better
