Everything has an equal opposite
right?
hate; love
like; dislike
cowardly; brave
Hope; fear
so why isn't together a strong enough opposite of
alone

On a regular basis
I encounter Death
As if the safest place
Would be in stasis

At 10 years old
Guillain-barre
Almost took me
But my cards i did not fold

new born
i was failure to thrive
and my head 3 sizes big
now i life with a chest cavity deformed

Not to mention the multiple
attempts on my life
but that's my own doing
i'm culpable

yet this life
is still worth living

If you wake up in the morning
and you feel cold air
you know your heart is truly warm

hush, hush...
you don't want them to hear us

breathe, breathe;
you don't want to pass out

Eat, Eat.
you must keep your strength up

stretch, stretch,
you must be ready in case we must...

Run. Run!
you don't want them to catch us

goodbye, goodbye...
you must live

All you have to do is pay attention to me
And understand I need a lot of it

24/7/365 I need to be your sunshine
i don't know why but the nicest girls are who i fall for

Chilly Autumn days
bring harsh winter winds
but the Roses still grow
in greenhouses

The greenhouse, a garden
grows Roses for the lucky lovers
In the dead middle of winter
just to come back two months later

As the Rosebud trembles
with each passing
it blooms and falls
to the hands of the deserving

but it ****** in self defense
much like the love
we all thought we'd cherish
