As The Ink Spills

Location

The truth hurts,
Once its spoken to you
But a lie hurts with every thought
It cuts you through and through
 
Priorities or options,
Your choice to decide
Rise above those with no value,
Treasure those at your side
 
An unblemished gem,
A dismissed thought
You don't control your life,
But you help write the plot
 
Written in ink,
What's done is done,
You must truly think
Only then have you won
 
Mistakes will be made,
Promises will be broken,
Yet it's not the end of the book,
Keep writing, keep writing
 
An unpublished thought,
Worth a large fortune
An interesting plot twist
Could make or break this
 
Love..
Live..
Breathe..
Feel..
 
Remember your emotions,
They keep life real
Remember those of others
Then you can heal
 
Terrible things may come your way,
Yet you'll still face another day
Things never get better,
Yet they get easier to face
 
Love..
Live..
Breathe..
Feel..
 
A child starving,
Longing for their next meal
A victim of abuse,
Longing to heal
 
A mother with a child,
A child with wings
Someone who lost their loved one,
How the pain stings
 
Written in ink,
What's done is done,
You must truly think
Only then have you won
 
Mistakes will be made,
Promises will be broken,
Yet it's not the end of the book,
Keep writing, keep writing
 
Keep writing, keep writing
There is more to come
Keep writing, keep writing
Dear, your soul has won
 
Live..
Love..
Breathe..
Feel..
 
All of these make it easier to heal
