They are the sorority and I am their pledge
Trying too hard to be good enough, I’m stuck on the ledge.
Should I run? Jump? Flee? Fold?
Or should I just stay and do what I’m told?

My hair is short
I am simple and traditional
I wear minimal make-up so I can just be me.
Which one am I? Am I the sorority or the pledge?
Neither
I must have jumped off the ledge.

When I'm with you I feel peace.
When I'm with you I remember to be grateful for all that I have, all that I am and all that I will be.
You remind me to let go, surrender and fill my heart with happiness.
When I'm with you I make mistakes but it's okay because I learn from them and you know they will only make me stronger.

When you're with me you feel bliss.
When you're with me you remember that you can be childish, silly and even a little out of control.
I remind you to feel excitement, passion and to fill your heart with love.
When you're with me you too can make mistakes but you find humour in the way our love continues to grow through perseverance.

Let go of your regrets
Surrender yourself to yourself
Let your mind be silent and your soul be humble
Disintegrate your inner walls to let your true self shine through so you can finally be free

The grass is green
The air is fresh
The trees are dancing with the wind
It feels like peace
It feels like a dream
I could sit here forever with my thoughts and ponder every aspect about life
I could sit here and change my perspectives on life since life is surrounding me and each is different
The plant life is stable, growing forever in one spot, communicating in ways we will never understand
The animal life is always finding a way to continue to survive
Water provides life to all and we as humans take it all for granted...
Shouldn't life be enough?

I am waiting for the after life...
Not because I am sad or depressed or lonely or heart broken or even sick of this life
but because I think I will find significance there

You see, there is beauty in the darkness that has shaped our world
In all the evil, we will find an awareness that this isn't it
This has never been it
and I don't know why we fear the end as it isn't the end, not really, it is purely the foundation of something fresh

So, I am waiting for the afterlife so I can move on from the task of this life and begin the next....and then the next
For it is all worth something

When I lie awake at night and try to fall asleep
My mind wanders to regretful times and my soul begins to weep

I think of everything I wish didn't happen and everything I wish that did
and I think that it all stems from being a naive care-free kid

I believed in the good in people and this made my perceptions weak
I did not understand the evil that some people seek

I wanted to be like them, so like them I became
I was in way to deep when I decided I didn't want to play the game

I tried to change my ways but that just made it worse
They told me I was stupid for trying to break the curse

Love; it's difficult to explain...
I mean, you get these easy to recognize physical feelings: heart beats faster, butterflies in your stomach, sweaty palms...
But what about those mental feelings?

It's like seeing the sunset for the first time or hearing a wolf howling at the moon
It's a special once in a lifetime feeling that you get to feel every second of every day
It's a miracle in its fullest sense
Your love can just walk into a room and brighten your day, hug you and make everyone else fade away, kiss you and take you to another universe

But those expressions are still physical...
It's hard to explain but that mental feeling is the beauty of life because if we didn't believe in love, why would we want to live?

I was here but I was there
I was there but I was here
Here being a place in which I exist as a solid
There being a place in which I exist as a soul
A light in the darkness
A hole in the void
[There] is an unknown place, where only the dead or the unborn reside
Where every soul has an understanding about this place we call home and that place we call the universe
And from what I can tell about there, that place, the universe
is that this is all a test, a game, an experience for the soul
Why we must question our existence?
I don't know
But it's all part of the experience

If you walk up the path,
under the bridge and up ahead,
where two paths meet.
You'll see me.
Laying on the grass, looking up at the stars,
wondering, if that's where we came from
or if that's where we're going.
