till death does us part

I suppose we all have a lengthened life,
some alone,
some kind,
some hard fought,
some short,
and some long


And we all deal with death in a different way,
some deal with it by not caring,
some by showing how they crumble,
some don't show anything and crumble on the inside.


The thing is we never know when...
when we'll see each other again,
when we'll laugh with each other again,
when we'll go through memories with each other again,
when we'll cry
or when we'll smile.


We all have to think about something...
what do we want as our legacy,
do we want people to think that we're
kind,
funny,
annoying,
or to have a bad reputation.

the fact is that death is real
there's no doubt about it we could just drop dead right now or 
we could live to our 80's and 90's

We can't change when or how we die 
but we can change what people 
think of us when we die


so think hard,
think deep,
think through life,
think about your life,
think about the meaning of life,
think about how you wanna die,
think about who will grieve if you end your life now


I guess what I'm trying to say is that 
we don't know  what will happen 
so live in the moment,
be kind,
respectful, and love,
love all,
 love with all your heart!

Fake Friends

I guess I wanted a friend so bad ,
you'll probably think I'm mad,
but i did not check and see if they were gonna be fake
i guess i thought there would be no pain caused
 as i rake 
up all my pain 
and realize i should have seen all the signs of a dagger coming to stab me
in the back
cause all of those secrets and bonds created
have just imploded
 
i guess you have a knack 
for stabbing people in the back
I've asked your old friends
and they all say your daddy issues are 
only starting to be amends


even thought now knowing wat your problem is i
still wonder
 if you hate me ,
why you want to hurt me,
like what did I do to you 
to deserve such a painful relationship with you
and why did you betray me like this 

oh wait i know cause your a fake friend 
with a fake heart 
but i realize that
I've gotta give you the benefit of the doubt
and treat you better than you treat others in order for your heat to become real again.

MOTHER

MOTHERS

Who helped us in the
first few years of our lives
who will continue helping us during the
rest of our lives

who taught us our every day things 
and how to do them

who put up with our
crying every single hour
way back then

who looked at us 
in dismay 
every time we got
taller

who was our 
emotional support
through out our life

who gave us hugs 
when we needed them

who quit 
their dreams
as a means
to raise us

who told us when we 
needed to fix something
in our life 

who went  or will go 
through the tears of us leaving

who will always know
every thing about us 

who will always love 
us even through 
our worst mistakes

who knew 
what makes 
our soul before we did

mothers

who do we need to respect more
than what we do
now

who will help us with
 our new beginnings
and ending our ends
 
who will always try to 
make amends
even when its not for them to do

mothers are worth more 
than we treat them
therefore
i think its time we start showing them some respect
