What we take from the world Is simply a reflection of Who we are inside If you feel like the sun is avoiding you Like your ex-girlfriend Then visit the dentist and make your smile Bright enough to get by The crowded streets of downtown Aren’t filled with inept ******* Just you, who isn’t willing to see That everyone has pain in their eyes No matter how well they disguise Their recent demise with ties and lies Bought online

You have nothing to fear Not even fear itself Because you are the owner Of happiness and peace Enough for yourself if you’re Willing to share

'I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty; I woke, and found that life was duty. Was thy dream then a shadowy lie? Toil on, sad heart, courageously, And thou shall find thy dream to be A noonday light and truth to thee.'
