Choose to stay.
Wear your belief,
steer clear of influences
that are customized and advertised,
so that you live and don't get sold.

Choose to stray.
Impair your grief,
veer away from continuances
that are  dogmatically institutionalized  
so that you dream free and act bold.
How ironic, when the whole point is to not explain.

“To be conscious is to be
dust in the wind,
time never forgets you
it’s you that forgets you
are forever part of its change.”

___


The mind is a very fragile thing,
if you beat it, it runs,
if you treat it with love, it grows.

There’s a fine line between
sanity and the shore’s of reality.

We are all living in our
own simulation
of our minds creation.

What is continuances but
a concept of a common concept?
Continuing forever…

You are judged for not being
common, for being different,
for not living up to everyone else’s common sense.

Stability is a strong foundation
not a certain type of thing,
for stronger doesn’t mean
common or normal.
Sometimes it’s the odd ones that win,
sometimes it’s the freaks
that gain from being abnormal.

I use to believe
I will never be anything,
until I started to realize
it doesn’t matter what
everyone else thinks,
I am in control of my own
destination and with faith
I win everything I ever imagined.

To see there’s more to life than
my mind is to understand
it’s meaning and it’s destination
changes for me as long as
I allow it to.
