It's easy to give up,
Believe me, I know.
The road gets hard to travel,
And it becomes difficult to grow.
Life can get hard,
But there is one thing to remember:
It happens to the best of us,
They say roses grow from concrete
Maybe that's why my growth isn't complete
My life is seen to be worthless
Like it cost less
But to me it's priceless
My life and mind has been controlled

Happiness...
Was one thing I never felt,
And never could find,
Until I fell for a dancer.
Each step he took; flawless
Every movement; perfect.
I often desecrate myself,
Along with the past deeds I have done.
I shift through my memory cabinets to shun,
All those foolish words I spilled out of my trap.
Those actions that I should not have taken,
Let go.
Wash your sins away
or your heart's vacancy will find
guilt, an ever burdening resident
Let go.
I'll carry your ball and chain.
Sometimes we have to hurt.
We hurt to see how much we can handle
before our screams muffled by our pride are truly heard.
We hurt to see the pieces of our lives shattered before us
You heard me
I stopped looking for happiness
I stopped wasting time believing the meaning of life is to once and for all capture the fleeting euphoric high caused by people, places, and selfish physical wants
I always had big dreams.
I want the big houses and fancy cars
living normal, not like the stars.
I don't need the papparazzi or the fame.
All that puts an X on your name.
Please take my advice,
Whenever I am feeling sad
Or just having a bad day,
I grab my phone to talk to you;
I know I will be okay.
Though we come from different backgrounds,
We couldn't be more the same.
After all,
We all are awesome.
Everybody is awesome.
Sand is awesome.
Octupi are awesome.
Me is awesome.
Everything is awesome, after all.
Eighteen winters and I'm tired --exhausted.
Tired of my mind holding me hostage,
Tired of the cliquelessness causing me restlessness--
I haven't known my bed in days.
I lay in it but it won't hold me,
Everyday is a good day
your wife might leave you
your job might not need you
the judge might not believe you
but...... everyday is a good day
*inhale* *exhale*
everyday is a good day
