A morning coffee is all well
And good
But I would much rather
Wake up to the golden sunrise
And feel the adrenaline rush
Through my veins
During a run
That’s better caffeine
Than any dark roast coffee
Could provide

Science class taught me
You can never gain cold
Only have an absence of heat
That made me think of life this way
Maybe hatred doesn’t exist
But there's just an absence of love

I went through one of the hardest
And worst situations in my life
Without anyone by my side
So don’t you dare tell me
I can’t do anything on my own

Hurricane Katrina was menacing
It was all over the news
People were being told to evacuate
In order for one another to be safe
But the hurricane in my head
Goes unnoticed
And people simply tell me
“Get over it”

People seem to think
Living life means
Jumping out of the sky
Kissing strangers
And traveling the world
Maybe it’s just slowly
Learning to love yourself
Gaining the ability to look
Yourself in the mirror
And smile because you like
What your seeing
