The water goes above my head Feels like i haven't left my bed Is this what it feels like? I'm drowning, not sure how long i can fight I'm sinking deeper and deeper The bottom seems too be getting even steeper So ill hold my breathe Till i drown to my death.

Drowning
There are times in our life when things seem to tough The climb is too hard and the going is rough If you look up the hill and see the whole climb It might be too steep and take too much time It’s important to stay focused on staying upright One pedal at a time will take you to heights The fact that you’re there and giving it your all So you know that you can, even if you fall...

The impossible...
Our affections are resinous By the grindstone, made Confections. Our patience tasteful impressions By words, sweet turpeny made Ever-growing since. Our laughter like camphor Sowed by thyme, made Love, after. Your love is unwashed Grown and ground, made to steep Cherry beans, grown in their burgundy glove.

Made to Steep
. I can't feel you relating the same as I am. We don't talk, But you don't to me, And I, at all. .

Relate
Define success. What does it mean to you? If you listen to the different responses you'll notice, everyone has a diverse perspective. I see a world being devoured by society’s way of judging who possesses more or less money. How superficial is it to let the kind of car you drive or the clothes you wear define you. Why are we overly concerned with what success looks like? What if you think you're already successful? Yes, you are successful right where you're standing. Would you believe me? Not many would. Most people are caught up in the pursuit of money to buy more stuff. Since children we were brainwashed to believe this or that amounts to being "successful." What if the version of success for you is getting out of bed. Or climbing a steep mountain when you're afraid of heights. Do you see the full picture now? Most conversations lead to “where do you work at?” as if it actually defines me. Granted, if I said I own Amazon, that individual would look at me quite distinctively. Whereas now, they have an opportunity to see what they can get from me. Versus someone that mentions they work at the local coffee shop. **This is for my generation, for the sake of perception becoming tainted. Keep your eyes and ears open, this world isn't what is used to be.**

Brainwashed.
I know the price of this life is steep, but I have promises to keep.
