We live in a world that doesn’t get along with each other.
A world that wants more for their leaders and less for their people.
A world in which power is coveted and humility is tarnished.
This world has corrupted us since that day of our conception and yet we have never known it.
This would has never been on our side and never will be.
The forefathers saw opportunity and a chance for betterment for the whole people.
The fathers after them saw a chance for betterment in themselves through the whole people.
When these times come crashing down on us, the common man, we must learn to shoulder the burden.
For there is nothing we can do now, there is nothing we can do to support our own cause.
We are blinded and we are hidden.
We can vote and we can rally, but we cannot lead.
Our land is no longer our land.  It is the worlds land.  For everybody else to enjoy.
So long are the days of hope and charity.
So long are the days of field and play.
So long are the days of kinship and brotherhood.
We live in a land of savagery and utter hate.
A land that seeks to sap every bit of your will.
A land that will work you until you bleed.
A land that will work you until you ****.
A land that will beat you until you are dead.
This land is not my land.  This land is not your land.  This land is their land. And they will do whatever they can to take it from us.
Protect what you have and what you love, for it is all that you will have.
Make time for the ones who bring you happiness; for they are the only ones to do so.
Count blessings but don’t wait on them.
Make your own blessings and be thankful when they arrive.
This world will offer you no forgiveness, no handouts and no loans.
This is a world of savages, be prepared to work or die.

bringing light to the shade,
is as easy as bringing dark from the sun.

Today marks the worst day yet.
All the toil anguish and fear,
led to this.
The first attempt.
Mother finding out.
Therapist finding out.
Roommates not knowing.
And dealing with it all.

It's hard when it all starts with a failed test.
being a failure and the demise that comes along with it.
the weight of the world crashing down.
all hope abandoned.
nothing left to give.

but then how do you bounce back from a day like this?
the word is out of the bag now.
Mom knows,
which means dad probably will know.
Which evidentally  means everybody will know.

And now I'm the crazy guy,
the one everybody can talk about in their private family gossip.
the one the therapist tells her husband about.
the one my mother cries about each night.

How do I respond to this?
how will tomorrow feel after this has happened.

Is an attempt a life changing experience?

I tried to brush it off,
but i also tried to brush off the other attempts.
this time somebody found out.

Hopefully this will be the start of recovery.

thank you

Hey.
Hey.
Do you have a pencil?
Yeah.
Thank you!
No problem ☺
And they lived happily ever after

When does It become okay to admit that she is into you?
For me its when she says hello.
But that’s the **** problem,
After hello we are hearing wedding bells happily ever after.
We love everyday without a worry.
It is indeed hopeless, its also not reality.
It is actually disparaging.
For her, im probably just another face.
So when I see us going up the stairway to heaven,
She sees the cheese fries behind me.
I get my hopes all the way up,
She stays in the moment.
I become heartbroken when she walks away,
She plans on talking again later.
I see her and I am in pain,
But I cant tell her this because I just met her.
Now she sees a scant of who I am,
She has no idea and I don’t expect her to.
So this is all what makes love so hard, for me.
You have to know me better than I know myself,
Upon first acquaintance.
And so that’s why I am always alone,
At least I think.
Hold on her she comes,
Hopefully she didn’t hear what I just said.

Sick minded and evil spirited,
Material things I need them.
Cover up my insecureties and burn them.
Tell the one I never loved her.
Just kidding Tell her im dead without her.
Hollowed to the bone.
Lost and all alone.
Gave up family and friends.
For destiny.

When I walk I move in silence.
When I speak I talk in tongues.
I never liked the way I looked,
So I dyed my hair yellow.
I never felt confident talking to girls,
So I started belittling them.

I am forsaken by my own insecurities,
They exemplify in others.
Nobody in this world has made me feel loved,
Except for you my little sugar bug.

Help me find my way back home,
I have wondered down an unforsaken road.
I turned left when I should have gone right.
Ran out of gas in the desert.
Broke the tires in the mountains, and drove into a river.
Ever since I lost my car, I’ve been looking for a better one.

I always thought the ol’ reliable was exactly what she was,
Until I saw her drowning.
Immediately I saw all of our good times, the empty tanks and the flat tires.
Immediately I missed that car and sought after one just like her,
Unfortunately she was one of a kind.

I guess that’s the thing about life,
There is always something new,
To draw you away form what you already have.

they're all pompous
they all think they are important
they all think they change lives
they are always right
they don't see color
they don't dream
they are static
they don't encourage
they degrade
they hate
they are wrong
always
they don't know youth
they don't stay modern
they don't care
they know themselves
they don't know you
they don't care about you
they never will
they never have
most of all, they're lazy
