Not defined by:
By a car
That we drive a Mercedes instead of a ford  
Nor a golden credit card
Or if we are the chair of a board
By all the awards
Or how we serve our lord
By how big our front door
Or from how much more
Nor by winning a war
Or by our décor
Nor what we can buy in a store
Or by our address
By that fancy dress
Nor because we can live on the highest floor
Or because we are good looking and adored
Nor by the big diamonds locked in a drawer
By that we have money galore

A class war??

We should be defined by:
So much more
!!
Or should be
!!

What makes you feel that you would want to
That you would like to
That you need to
So strong
It nags
Until you
Give in
To something new
Which could be way over due
What it is ,I am sure you have a clue
***
*******
Drugs
Getting a tattoo
The urge
For something taboo
To paint yourself blue
To pursue
Someone to *****
Or that is equal to
The urge
Drives you to do what is not good for you
Makes you do the wrong things
Almost everything
The urge
Can definitely make you sin  
When it takes control of you
That is when it begins
With
The Urge
!!
I have a strong urge too

Honesty:
The quality of being honest
Look at me directly in the eyes
Before you lie
When you agonize
And dramatize
I will analyze
And
I will realize
And
Recognize
I will not empathize
I will brutalize
So I would not jeopardize
Integrity:
The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles
With dignity
Empathy
Without enemies
Ethically
No jealousy
Purity
Seeing objectively
Respectively
Never causing unpleasantries

The two go hand and hand
Not
Separately
!!

We both know
This as nowhere to go
Us both
The love stopped
There will be no more growth
Regardless of our oath
Of not giving each other up
It's time to wake up
Break up
Our fears has replaced
Our cheers
I guess it's true
Nothing is ever what it appears
So true were the things that we here
Heard from our peers
I was not for you
You were not right for me
It's a shame we did not realize
But time flies by
Unfortunately love dies
Our love had so many tries
But there were
The lies after lies
We have to drop the disguise
We have to give each other up
Break up
!!

The will to thrive
Trying to survive
It is not a test-drive
It's about living and being alive
Maybe you just need to be revived
Staying alive
While taking a nose dive
You need drive
When needed, taking five
Living and being alive
You owe no one an alibi
I hope you realize
Never no need to apologize
Do not be terrified
You should not be deprived
Living and being alive
Then wait for the surprise
You will not be denied
Just satisfied
Living and being alive
Willingly it will provide
Even in your demise
While living and being alive
Your rules, you only need to abide by
Live
While
Living
Then
You
Will
Be
Alive
!!

No matter how low
you may go

Take it slow
Until your able to take control

Dismiss your thoughts of letting go
Keep telling yourself NO

Do not give in
I promise you it will get better than it has been

Then your life again will begin
Then those thoughts, it will be their end

More than likely your asking yourself how does he know
I became that low

So low
I cut my wrist
As I clinched my fist

At that moment I looked down
And ask
My life how could I dismiss ?

Now when I am feeling low
I look at my scare
To remind me I can exist
And
I would be missed

So when your feeling low
Do not let go
Let those thoughts go
Say no
!!

"So here goes"

Did you know I have a crush on you
I have nothing to loose
Unless it starts
I don't  know why I am protecting my heart
I have nothing to loose

I often think of you  
If I happen to run into you
Often acting shy
I will hide from you
Don't ask me why
I have nothing to loose

When I am talking to you
My tongue becomes tide
I cannot lie
Kind of hard to hide
Don't ask me why
I have nothing to loose

Your so **** fine
This is not a pick up line
It's pretty much defined
The crush I have on you
Once in a lifetime
I have nothing to loose

Do you have a clue
About this crush I have on you
I will give you a clue
That it is you
Today I ran into you
Soon I will not be able to see you
If this clue helps you
And you think it's you
It's true
It is you
I have nothing to loose

I hope you picked up on the clue
I am ready
If you want to
Letting this start
I think it would be smart
Why not
I have nothing to loose

I have nothing to loose
Yes I do
It's
Loosing you
!!
