People think it's bad,
they don't even know
what marijuana does
and where it makes you go
It opens up your mind
and helps you see the dreams
You stopped believing could come true
and it makes you realize
that the only thing stopping it is you.

Writing feeds my heart,
when it needs to pour out,
since nobody's here
to listen from the start

Nobody knows my life
as well as I do
A poem doesn't feel the same
coming from another you

I look back at the old ones,
and I remember the tears I've cried
before I could see
the other beautiful side.

Before I had an epifony
of beyond the shades of blue
I didn't want to go on
with just writing about the news
Of my sad, sad, life.

But then something hit me
Something shining so bright
Instead of days of darkness
I began to see the light
and I begin to believe that life
could be the greatest thing.
And it is.

The admiration is so, so clear.
About the adventures and lifetimes outside of here
But is the grass always greener on the other side?
Does this civilization have something to hide

Are we forgetting about the beauty in life?
Or is it people we are trying to overprice?
Another new phone isn't that neat.
Why don't we just go plant beautiful trees?
That's way more life than a ******* Iphone C

So what are we missing out on?
Enjoy the world or stay here and live with
and stop admiring the life we're not spoken on

I'm too lost in this moment,
To let my heart slip away
I can't fight what I'm feeling,
I don't want our feelings to change

I miss how we used to be,
not who we are now.
I miss the way we felt
when we were reading our vows.

I don't ever want to lose this,
this crazy piece of me,
The way you make me feel
just captures the unseen.

I've never felt so perfect,
It's you who lights my day
Baby I'm so worth it
Please, don't walk away.

you
I miss you,
I miss you a lot.
I miss you so much babe.
I can't stand going days without you.
Everything you do just makes me want to live
I just have so much fun going on adventures with you.
I wish I knew ways to get you to feel the way I feel all the time.
The memories we have are so fond and vivid that I'm always going mad
Wishing to get back all the wonderful days that we always use to have as wide receivers.
I don't need you but I want you.
I want you more than anything.
I want to call you mine again bae.
I want to talk to you on the phone
Elijah we could just laugh all day
When I'm with you  it's a better place
Ugh, I'm so lost without you my mind is a maze
