Maybe, If I spent less time looking ahead instead of down, I'd trip less over my own feet. When I look back, I always have answers, When I look at you, I don't. But I don't want you behind me.

Hindsight
You had been there for 12 months. You gave us happiness You gave us tears in my eyes You gave us sad moments You didn't leave us in any situation, You made us to realize which is wrong and which is right. You made us realize about the humans around us. You taught us everything in this particular period. So much of happiness, So much of pain!!! And, now, it's a time... You want to give a farewell for us. Thank you so much "2019" for everything. Bye bye 2019. We love you❤ Welcome "2020". I hope you'll give us the better experience.

resonance... i feel it in my bones do you feel it in your soul? i’m detoxing from a nightmare that happened in a moment that no longer exists when i experience bliss i make sure to loosen fists the other part of me that i held dear for so long is fading along with the rest of our song i’ll be gone before dawn i’ve transitioned into the queen and you’re still playing as a pawn i only let certain dates resonate and i’ll reciprocate the conversation i’ll look you in the eyes and smile and tell you everything that comes to mind happiness refined i can always tell when they’re falling in love cause they don’t ever want leave i like to make you laugh as we seep into the cracks reality becomes something i’ve never seen before i’ve become an anchor to silver linings and i live life making sure you can’t find me i’m trying to contain the love that wants to overflow in the spots i seal so tightly cause i promise that with just one kiss i can’t make you forget me

I know there was no we before But now I think that we can be more More than just together I think "merge as one forever" -Is the phrase I'm looking for- Loving you was a chance I took Breaking you was a choice I made Accepting you was challenge I had. Loving me was your choice Staying was your choice Leaving was an option - why didn't you ?- Through it all I grew from imperfection to imperfection From me to me From loving you to Being In Love with you. From talking to doing. I ... we take the next step from here...

My response
my car broke down and it made me think of how everything breaks and loses its place only to be replaced maybe that’s why it bothered me so much i took it as a life lesson but it still didn’t lessen the load stress on my mind anxiety for breakfast i know it gets better from here i always tell myself that anyway all the old things fade not meant for you and better things come along those who come along make you anew too i got a broke down car and i live pretty far but my friends still love me i’m trying my best to see the rest of the big picture my car was smoking coming down the causeway so i lit a blunt and smoked too and told myself “this is it” everything is becoming anew

it’s gotta get worse before it gets better
Just a fling, just a thing, what shall I bring? 2 servings of joy, a pinch of serenity, and a bell just to ring :)

I can feel the winds of change brushing against my skin. It's so close to here and now. We cling to time because we know if we let it loose, it may never come back. We're always running from it, change, even if it could be good. The tide always rolls in, the sun always rises, as change is inevitable.

Change
Do not go out softly but like a free verse rain into the Pacific splattered then spent. Odious vessel, dry and salted. Come watch comets graze mountains, with their audacity. And eclipses! Behind blue lights and fluorescent skies -- foibles of exigency. Form was not made for free spirits to crash into. Watermarks dance lively now, like petals that once spiralled outside our window.

Transient follies journey away from routine and purpose
I used to like swimming in the warm seas on a cold day I never wanted to share my ice cream with you,but anyway You told me something I almost forgot And now we're up here, and became little dots You're moving upper and upper And I'm moving downer and downer But if I life seems happier and friendlier Why waste your time, put on a smile? Why think twice, put on a smile? Your world from afar seems bright and happy And my world up close is far from yours But if you come closer and see the undergrowth You'll notice the difference between us And you're feeling bluer and bluer But life is painted with rainbow colours And you keep frowning and crying and shouting Why deny your face, just put on a smile? Why live in a hapless place, put on a smile? And when everybody leaves on planes Seasons pass and trees will change And when they leave you alone I hope you don't feel like you're alone This world has people on it Why be lonely, scaredly, frightening and somehow describing Your way back home, to a stranger you go And they don't respond anymore But if you put on a smile, even for a while Your sad and blue and greyish day Will turn up for the better and you'll be okay So if we both go up and down and cry all around If we somehow laugh at the silliest things, playing childish games If we learnt to love our reflection in the mirror Why would you live her and not, put on a smile? Put on a smile before it gets too late, when your body doesn't move again, And you're feeling kinda sorry then... Put on a smile, don't ask why Put on a smile, don't try to close your eyes Open then wide, show your brightness Your happiness ends when you feel worthless So chin up, chest high Open your eyes, and PUT ON A SMILE...

God, be the breath in me; Be the sparkle in my eye, the smile that glides strong and bright over that lower portion of my face; Be the hand that gives, the wiry cord that ties up all my loose ends; The socks that hold my shivering legs in one piece; The shoes, tied tightly, that stand my feet upon the ground, in one place, never fleeing; The engine within that revs forward at any show of fear, never shrinking; Never shutting off, shutting down, freezing up. I hope that I can swallow this angst and remind myself of who I am, of who God made me, And walk into the brightest light, the darkness tunnel, to the other side of the door which is a mystery unto me. The time has taken its time. My soul has persisted slowly, dragging its feet in heavy anticipation that one day I would actually need to take this great leap of faith, and trust That someone will catch me. And even if nobody does, and I eat gravel, I think God will still have me, And He’ll be smiling at me, those big pearly whites glowing, because I tried. I faced fear and, conquered or defeated, I did what I thought ridiculous, impossible, impenetrable. And I suppose I’ll just have to dust off my jeans and keep moving forward. No. Running forward.
