Just get over it
That's what they all say
You have a good life
You aren't depressed, you're just whiny

Oh, that's right
It's in the past
Because the gleaming eyes of a too-old man
Dark rooms out of the family's sight
The way you can't live without those sick memories
It's all in the past, right?

You were a young saint
A little boy with nothing to lose
But his too-big hands and his too-wide smile
Ripped your white angel wings from your back
And pressed your fragile body
Ever harder to the mattress

It's been almost a decade but you don't forget
Like the way America has not forgotten
September 11th
They remember 2500 lost lives
But you're not allowed to mourn your own?

"They" is just another pronoun
But you know exactly who I mean
The bitter faces that turned away from you
Accusations of lies on their tongue
When all you needed was someone to be there

Forget them
You've grown and changed and you are not one of them
They need to get the **** over it
Not you
You're strong
You're unique

You're alive

"What do you do
When the pasts haunts your every move,
Whispers in your ears
When no one is there to distract you
And laughs at you,
Every time you do something wrong?"

"You keep going.
You do your best.
You do what you love
Aand you defy the limits
Your ego slaps you in the face with."
Do what you love, and love what you do.
That way, no one can tell you to do what they want you to do.

Instead of watching the sunset,
Watch the sunrise.
Feel the beginning of each day on your skin,
And thrive with the knowledge
That they are only as limited as you let them be.

when i close my eyes
i envision your arms
around my soul
and the kisses you leave
upon my brow
glisten as gold
and although the darkness
may seem to hinder
the ability to grow
your light still shines
with an illuminating glow
so much to live for
and so much to be
you may feel like no one
but you're someone to me
and even if the tears
cause a raging black sea
remember the waters once parted
and you will soon be set free

hang on to the promise
and don't lose your faith
your blessings are coming
although they seem faint
and as weakness prevails
as the sealing of fate
know that change
is amongst us
and it's never to late
I may possibly add more to this.  It's just a draft for now.

The sunset was oh' so beautiful
the memories of the day so fleet
And the nights became so lasting
for so many were without sleep

The midnight sky was so very beautiful
the heavenly stars above were so bright
The darkness was serene and tranquil
while all the moments just seem right

The thoughts alive within were lovely
and the dreams which were mine divine
While the minutes of this fine moment
seem right to pen some verse and rhyme

For in the air my ears heard the melodies
of a sweet love song riding upon the wind
Which friend cupid sent by two lovebirds
magically causing my head to gently spin

And the flooding colors of the new sunrise
diffused beautifully in the sky this day
As I finally realized what happened to me
I fell in love with you in a special way.
Love

I heard your life's been hard,
you're counting the welts on your soul.
You've played all your cards,
working towards no specific goal.

You're texting for hours on your phone,
Yet you still feel so alone.
You can eat at work or school,
But you're never really full.

Well, guess what?
Inspiration's knocking
So don't be door-locking
Here's some light to keep at bay,
the demons that chase you night and day

Let's start.

I believe everything turns out well in the end.
If it's still sour, then it *
isn't the end.

The sky is never the limit, you will reach your dream soon.
If the sky was the limit, why are there
footprints on the moon?

There's always a way to stand out, and not to be just "passable"
Remember, every great achievement was once known as
impossible.

There will come a day when you can't open up your eyes,
*
But what matters is what you do until that day arrives.
Every time I see a depressing quote here, I have two choices.
Feel down, or get everyone up.
I choose the latter.

Time is valuable
Its worth is incalculable
Time is unstoppable
Pausing it is impossible
Time is change
Nothing will ever be the same
Time is limited
Because death is imminent
Time is uncontrollable
The amount we receive is not negotiable
Time is mysterious
Because it is very ambiguous
Time is irrational
Attempting to measure it is unnatural
Time devastates
It will slowly decimate
Time is addicting
Without it, we would not be living
Time is torture
It slowly prepares us for the coroner

So be happy
It will cure the pains that hurt badly
So be unique
Your life does not have to be routine
Take the path that is right for you
Take the path with the best view
