Remember
You’re given 2 or 3
Moments
To shine in a lifetime...
Maybe you’ll get more in the next
But here it’s 2 or 3
Love more than you hate
Agree more than you disagree
But remember you truly only
Love one beautiful
Soul
In this lifetime. Remember that...
You can love and leave
But keep on good terms
Forgive
If you’ve been wronged
For hate can wilt you from
The inside out
A sore that never scabs
A monkey that’ll always lead you around
Notice how people react to you
When you enter a room
How they say goodbye when they know
They’ll never see you again
Never be the slow bullet
Never be the slow bullet
The slow bullet takes
Years
From your life
Decays your days
Tells you everything will work out
I’ll be better
But they never do
Be a dodger of bullets
Most notably the slow one
Even if they’re the one truly
Beautiful soul...
