Peace and Love My Definition

Oh man the futures looking bleak
Like my life has sprung a leak
If one more thing goes wrong, I just might freak
Feel like my life has seen it's peak

My mind is drowning in a flood
I've shed my tears and shed some blood
I know that I'm far from a stud
But I refuse to be a dud

Should I make a change or play along?
I've set down my vice at sound of gong
But Ill drink it down 'til nothings wrong
And write my sorrow in a song

Without pain life would be a bore
Although I've wished it away before
It helps me appriciate what I adore
And understand things I abhor

But love and peace our my definition
I thrive on joy it's my nutrition
It will bring my dreams into fruition
And help me realize my mission.
