Confidence

I am always on course 
Living life with no remorse 
Life is like a push and pull force
You only get back what you toss

Lovely and Lush Living Plush

Was both lovely and lush,
Living in someplace plush,
She saw me,
With much glee,
Now on her have a crush.

Life

Life is worth living.
It holds the secrets that no-one knows 
Forever it will be supporting you
Everyday for Eternity.

hunting in the jungle
Dying in the space between

Always trying to stay ahead in races.
Living under a guise,
And smiles that don’t reach the eyes.

to tell her

 But he turned to booze and women

But they preach for their living
They are now commercial

fighting evil
alone and without reason
it's a waste of time
even superior,
is resist temptation
practicing virtue... !

Were redeemed 
I bathed in living water
White towel wore me

Living where the bad guys dwell
Stirring up fire and brimstone too
