Life equivalent to a runaway roller coaster.
It is a scary ride
At times you feel like letting go
Befriending the grim reaper
So he would call you willingly to his side.

Just like the fishmonger
These thoughts are selfish.

What about those left behind
The ones that truly love you
That has always been by your side
If you do not see them, please open your eyes
You are not alone, you have courage inside

Get your thoughts out the stormy clouds
Dry your saddened tears
Let the darkness see light, if only for a moment
let go of the numbing fears
You will soon realize, you have not yet drowned
To the darkness, you not consensually bound
Just open your blinded eyes
To see the love that is all around.

In the darkest hour, you will always find a smiling face
This is the nature of the human race
We might be killing ourselves and the world slowly
Drowning it with all the hate, we killing it unhurriedly
One day it will suffocate
We still built to adapt, so never give in
You are stronger than you know, exhale all the toxic thoughts
Let all the elegance in heart start your sing
We have the strength within, just open your heart and let all the love in
Disliking yourself, remind yourself, this is a sin
Just breathe in the good of the world
exhale all the toxin.
Live  life with a grin
Bringing happiness and laughter
Instead of darkness and grim
