Stop chasing dreams
My sister told me to follow my dreams
but growing up my nightmares were really just following me
I wish she would have told me "how you live today will affect the rest of your life,
why you keep doing wrong if you know it ain't right?"
So before I die I'm gonna speak up for what I believe in
Cuz I struggled too long for it to be for no reason
Every battle I've fought I went to war on my own
Every demon I conquered I did it alone
So if it makes you happy no-one else's opinion should matter
Your life is your book you decide who you want in...

Better days incoming.
This is not a game of give and take. This life just takes without a second thought. I was having second thoughts on the path I chose to walk.
Cut the power to this system of self inflicted shortages. I overloaded my own head with long past fears and uncertainties.
Cold eyes plucked from the skull, giving me back my sight. Snapped the razor in two and gave it to my lover for safe keeping.
I'm learning to find what's worth taking for myself for. The first time in my life. Leaving the toxic waste right there for someone else to kill over on.

Pull Me Under
I’ve been through a storm in a raging sea,
Beaten and battered by nature’s fury,
Lost in darkness as far as I could see,
The tempest was my soul’s judge and jury.
I’ve been blinded by the dreadful lightening,
Hanging on in the depths of the unknown,
Pummeled by monster waves it’s quite frightening,
Scared and terrified that I was alone.
I’ve been stranded in grim situations,
Losing faith and hope tossed in the vastness,
And then I felt a swift indignation,
Facing death my fear turned into madness.
I’ve screamed at...
Beaten and battered by nature’s fury,
Lost in darkness as far as I could see,
The tempest was my soul’s judge and jury.
I’ve been blinded by the dreadful lightening,
Hanging on in the depths of the unknown,
Pummeled by monster waves it’s quite frightening,
Scared and terrified that I was alone.
I’ve been stranded in grim situations,
Losing faith and hope tossed in the vastness,
And then I felt a swift indignation,
Facing death my fear turned into madness.

Holy Cause
Come and hop aboard my lifelong childhood cause
Before the swirl in the ocean makes it come to a pause
It’s not at all what it seems
Just trying to fulfil my dreams
Paddling up stream, to reach a sandy shore
Seeing distant island mirages, with no solid ocean floor
Time to get me off this sail, before its put up for sale
I’ll instead join a holy cause, that one day, will find the holy grail.
Before the swirl in the ocean makes it come to a pause
It’s not at all what it seems
Just trying to fulfil my dreams
Paddling up stream, to reach a sandy shore
Seeing distant island mirages, with no solid ocean floor
Time to get me off this sail, before its put up for sale
I’ll instead join a holy cause, that one day, will find the holy grail.

Contrast
Slaving and sandbagging hard / Some days all I crave is a willing opponent, open space and a mouthguard / Other times it's rifling through archaic codices / Biting through lace bodices / Every caper graces my Odyssey / With hands touching my heart I breathe / When Loki of Literati drops naughty oddities / Cross between algorithm unlock-by-key / And spitting forbidden prophecy / Submitting the missing odds / Don’t model what I foretell / Just as well ego swells / When cats get educated but never learn to take the L / Spellbound hellhounds / I swore when I fell up / I’d swell my melon on...

Chumplings In Disaster Mode
So,
we all (mostly) think to think of
this kinda stuff as if
preordination was
a
reliable bench-mark.
Personally,
i have to ass'ume
All of IT
just as a matter of self-preservation, (at least on
t h o s e
rare days when illusion has it that
there's anything

Poor Man's Travel
font=Times New Roman]Was at the store today
Picked up some Belgian beer
In Brugge I think I'll stay
When my screen is very near.
Called up my pizza place
Just for the Grecian taste
And my corner store
Never short of Hellas beer
Nice combo for good watching
When on God Zeus their talking.
YouTube, Google and Wikipedia
Poor man's travel, no need for a Visa
Dreaming of places I've never been
Guess I'll just travel in my mind again.

Inadvertently
Dinner parties were held
Family gathered there well
Parents made the home
The center of social life
From miles they'd come
They would always end up there
The root reason?
Son.
His brother's friends
Came there to jam
Sort of like I Am Sam, or Sam I Am
Air band to no end
Got on like mustard on ham
The root reason?
Brother.
Good parents
And good people
Because of family fellowship
And helping others
With jobs.
But alas, what was the root reason?
Son.

The Rainbow
We're so focused on the pot of gold,
That we forget to enjoy the rainbow.
That we forget to enjoy the rainbow.

Dream it, Belief it, Reach it
We learn by every single experience.
If we didn't, we wouldn't be available to make our knowledge large.
We use all we remember taught to handle our challenges.
Also every consequence we meet in every different ways.
If we didn´t got through tough times,
we wouldn´t learn to appreciate the small goods we have got by life.
Keep your' head up,
Believe in yourself,
If you tell yourself, you can´t handle the toughest challenges,
It will be harder,
To know what strengthe you posess.
Dream it,

over the hill
If you're not getting anywhere running slowly
...walk faster…
remember... the tortoise and the hare?
