All the damage that was done, I did to myself alone.
Met people with different beliefs and personalities so I can finally find peace and build a plantation, something similar to what you call a home.
Visualized an established pathway from fools and had my first obsession with soul when I heard Allen Stone.
Endured a vibrant tune that rushed through my bones.
Felt no sympathy for a coward that abandoned me as a child and felt no pain.
The only sorrow that I had was for the kids who couldn’t play outside because it rained.
I went from feeling immortal to being sane having my priorities and morals straight because I was trained.
Unfortunately with all that good effort I still made mistakes.
To live in a world where the better quantity after giving is when you take.
The only difference from a firm handshake is a fake.
The greatest lessons learned from disloyalty is how to read faces.
They sneer when they stare sometimes makes you lose concentration.
In order to enliven the outcome you have to deal with the situation.
So the answer to the question is?
Everything that was done, I did to myself alone.
An opportunity, choice, and a sin. Some is here, but most are gone.
My best days in life was when I loved, but it was discovered through hate.
Despite all the things I feared. I still felt safe.

To love someone who doesn't love you.

To give a person attention and all they see is a burden.

To desire and lust and all you get is ignored and rushed.

To honor them with loyalty.
And they dis-honor and break your trust.

To love someone who doesn't love you.

To know their habits and smell their scent.
But themselves is all they see.

To want the best out of them.
But they killed the best in you.

To cry every night wanting comfort.
While their comforting something new.

To love someone who doesn't love you.

Oh I wish I knew who you are and where you are at.

So I can love you.

Because you deserve to be loved to.

I was looking down south
When it should have been
East.

Seeing heavy lights from corner to corner was dreamy and made my eyes weak.

And elderly lady was refreshing her garden. And I politely asked her for help.

She made me pick weeds and dig dirt for hours and went to her wallet and grabbed twenty bucks.

She said this is all I have to give to you. I replied I did what I did from the kindness of my heart.

She said don't be a fool take it! And go have some fun!

I traveled to the store and spent the twenty on flowers, brought the flowers to her as she began to get flattered. Then I said have a nice day.

When I said i'll love you forever I lied.
When the sun slept and the moon rised.
The beauty that you felt for someone else.
When the passion doesn't see eye to eye.
Anymore have I adored the lust for you.

I couldn't trust myself anymore once I stopped trusting you.

Being in love was just a dumb excuse.
A fantasy that never came true.

This love game isn't for me.

I couldn't trust myself anymore once I stopped trusting you.

So for love what am I suppose to do.

For love I found peace. But for peace I got rid of love.
