Expectations are the thorns,
Which make our heart bleed.
Instead of feeling the thorns,
We should smell the roses,
Which exist.

Nobody tells you,
“don’t fall in love with just anyone yet”
because if you fall out of love once,
you’ll fall out once again,
a couple times more,
and perhaps keep falling in and out
over and over,

they advice you to not dive in too deep,
because it hurts to get out once you’re in,
but they don't say don’t dive in
just because you can,
that you shouldn’t just give your lover
tests to prove their love for you,
but that you must test your own love,
see if you can prove your love
to yourself,
after all how can you be sure of
loving someone
when you can’t love the person
your heart beats within?

i know,
that you'll never love me.
but,
dum spiro spero.

Gary met Sally for some backseat bingo
because she’s the lucky one that razzed his berry.
The word from the bird is that she’s past her prime
The sort of girl whose personality is cheap chocolate and wine.

He greeted her with gimme some skin
She thought it was too formal of a way to begin.
Because sally still lives in the past
Sharing chain posts on facebook
To keep her from things in the dark
Sally’s a bit backwards but she’s well meaning at heart.

You’ve got to make it to this party it’s gonna be a gas
Sally said she’ll think about it, but really she just wanted to pass.
She’s got ice cream in the freezer and an appointment with the mad hatter
(with a special appearance from his twirling tip).

Gary looked rather gloomy, realising she looked quite different from her profile.
That, and he thought the way she chewed was vile.
Nevertheless he thought he’d place his bet on a submarine race.
He reckoned for the price of lunch and a bit of sweet talk, he’d be left with a smile on his face.

Sally was blind to Gary’s plan
She was off in training as a space cadet
Thinking this date was quickly becoming an experience she’d forget
But back on earth things started to pick up
Unlike Sally’s self esteem, which was left in a rut.

And to this day Gary and Sally are married, with a kid, a cat and a shared checking account.

you will learn that the affirmation of others will never be enough.
you will learn that pleasing others is not your purpose.

you are enough.

not because you have tried hard,
not because you have loved hard,
or,
put on your best face;

you are enough because of who you truly are,
because of your beautiful soul,
because He is with you,
and his grace has saved and covered you along the way.

hey world
thanks for making this option

When the sun comes up and the sunrise hits your face from your bedroom window.
Maybe I won't be there the next day to be the one who makes it avoid your face and you wouldn't even know.

I would be there watching with a broken soul.
but as much as I love you I will stay until I fall.

It hurts me too,
When you listen to our songs and starts crying out of the blue.
But as much as I love you I know you will forget.
Cause it's about time and everything will get easier for you.

And one day you'll remember my name and you'll smile cause I at least changed a little bit of you.
But I'll know that a lot of other people could change you and make you smile everyday too.

I'm sorry I couldn't be how you wanted me to be.
But look at the brighter side, at least you'll know that the issue is coming from me.

As much as I love you I'll sleep with an arrow in my heart,
but it will ease the pain knowing that your own is not with a sorrow.

And as I run to escape, there will be a chain around my neck, choking me to death, reminding me of who truly I'm.

A place which is not able to fit other people, a place which is dark enough to make you lose hope of an ending light.

But maybe I'll entire another world,
One with a good ending
One with a little light.

And one day hopefully you'll stop crying and you'll think about how life truly
deserves trying.

You're still alive,
You'll keep going,
And it'll be a beginning for your new life.

When the sun comes up and the sunrise hits your face from your bedroom window.
Maybe I won't be there the next day to tell you how much I love you,
And you wouldn't even know.

Should nimble Muse outspread her wings and fly,
Just wave your hand and to her smile good-bye.
