If you are uncomfortable when you look in the mirror,
keep in mind:
We spent thousands of years
trying to convince the earth
she was flat.

We wrote her maps as evidence of the things we saw;
and she believed them.
She cried tsunamis, and had earthquake breakdowns.

Keep in mind: the Sun never gave up hope.
The earth will keep spinning and breathing
the star-dusty space void of encouragement.

Next time you look in the mirror
and second-guess your potential divinity,
remember you will keep shining and living.

Because the Sun is out there
believing in you,
compensating for lack of the human capacity
to treat each other empathically.

You don’t need proof or approval
to be exactly what you are;
Eventually everyone will see
your infinite beauty.

A cut above, a cut below- suicide can be very slow
Peer pressures are getting to you- is this the only thing that you can do?
For your family and friends now come the burdens and tears
Not knowing you had those fears.
How do you think your family and friends will survive?
Not knowing your life was on the line.
You see the blood draining from your wrists
Asking yourself: why did I do this?
Second thoughts are now too late
All you can do is sit and wait.
You find that the thoughts are coming much faster
And pictures are flashing in your mind
As it's getting close to that time, yet the pictures are
Of good times and not the bad, and you become very sad.
My life has not been as drastic as i thought it to be
Now it's too late for me!
DON'T DO AS I HAD DONE- DON'T BE THE FOOLISH ONE.

louis rams :

Twisting, turning, yearning
That is what I do

Laughing, smiling, cheering
That's what you do

I have sorrows
You have joys

You've hurt me
I've served you

The fairness of this world is as perplexing as a quadratic formula

As I get hurt, those who hurt me excel

As I am pained, others are healed

I see who I once was
Laughing, smiling, cheering

Now, I hardly recognize myself
