To all the ones who didn’t make it, Tell me are you finally at peace? Did the weight of the world truly leave you be? I’m simply asking because I am one of the ones who did make it And wonder what would have happened if I didn’t make it? Has the addiction to be perfect stopped eating you from the inside out? Or the need to please everyone, by now surely that drive must no longer be around? To all the ones who didn’t make it, tell me it got easier? What about the voices, the voices in your head that could never be drowned out, the voices that always told you “you’d never be good enough” for the love of god tell me they finally listened, tell me they finally shut up? And are you still able to feel numb to all the hurt? That you don’t have to fight the cravings any longer? Tell me, tell me there is no harm to just giving in? Tell me, tell me please To all the ones who didn’t make it, tell me how it was worth it? Or would you rather ask me first? Would you rather ask me how warm the sun feels on a lazy august afternoon? Because you can’t seem to remember what that feels like any longer Or if the roses still bloom with the promise to smell sweet and to bring the honey bees around? You’re starting to forget what they look like What about chocolate you ask, is it still known to melt in your mouth and bring a smile to your face? At least that is what you think the rumours you heard say And is laughter with loved ones truly contagious? It’s been a while since you’ve done it yourself You go on to ask about blue skies and cozy rainy days Old teachers that made you fall in love with learning and the ones you’re happy you’ve forgotten about We discuss friendships new and old and how far they’ve come sadly in your absence And when I’ve answered all your questions you finally agree to answer mine But I simply smile and say, To all the ones who didn’t make it, may you please forget I ever asked?

To All the Ones Who Didn’t Make It
To all the ones who didn’t make it, Tell me are you finally at peace? Did the weight of the world truly leave you be? I’m simply asking because I am one of the ones who did make it And wonder what would have happened if I didn’t make it? Has the addiction to be perfect stopped eating you from the inside out?

The flowers they dance in the breeze and in my eyes too Fragrance of something coming to fruition so true Trance begets wondering in cognition its a dance Memories ring like songs that I used to listen to just a thing The moment, living memories, purple hue infinite meme stealing my breath from envies rue left in steam Seeing you fall away in the cosmic ocean snap out of it - It's time to snap out of it. I would say we can't keep meeting like this, but I guess we can.
