"Stupid is as stupid does,"
Isn't that what people say?
How hard it must be for many,
Just to make it through the day.
"Wake up and smell the coffee,"
Or so the saying goes.
To improve your situation,
You've got to follow your nose.
How about "Catch as catch can,"
I've heard that one before.
Do the best that you can do,
Or you might wind up on the floor.
"My eyes are bigger than my stomach,"
That practice will never last.
By the look of that swollen waistline,
Maybe it's time that you should fast.
Wake up and smell the coffee
Forget that stupid things you dreamed about
Believe me, you ain't worthy
It turned your life completely upside down
Your fate is almost challenge
And there is nobody who has your back
You thought that life is balance
But all what you got is a heart attack
Chorus
Hey fool
You ain't cool
Desiring for needed power
There is Byronic hero inside of you
Your life is going sour
There's no plan, it's always out of the blue
I could say a lot of words if I wanted to
But you decided to cross swords and I'm willing to
stop you
Ask not about what the future may bring.
Whether sorrow shall reign or happiness ring.
Breathe deeply the aroma from life's belfry.
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE.
Seek not to know when death shall call.
Whether bells shall toll or cardinals sing.
Instead find joy in each moment's acme.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Think not about ghouls and banshees
Or wonder what makes hopes cloudy.
Rest your thoughts upon here and now.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Worry not about why bereavement calls.
Do not dwell on words of war.
And if at days start your mind seems clogged,
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Be happy enjoying life's fragrant…peace.
Turn long-term goals into shorter leaps.
Set life's table with roses and daisies
Then, wake up and smell the coffee.
Steadfastly time steals; days pass away.
And memories too soon fade as well.
Trust not what bouquet the future holds.
Wake up and smell the coffee, today.

Poetic form: Carpe Diem (With a Kyrielle feel and a touch of rhyme…SMILES!)
We all need to wake up
Stop killing each other
We should love each other
We need to wake up and care for each other
We all need to love not hate
We all should be there for each other
We need to take people for who they are
We all need to wake up and believe in each other
We shouldn't hate people cause of there color
We need to wake up and smell the coffee
If people change the world may change
Parents need to be there for there kids cause they need you
We need to stop blaming our pass and move forward
We all need to forgive and forget
We all need to wake up and make a change
We all need to be strong not weak
We all need to stick together like family
People shouldn't judge each other cause of who they are
We all should care for each other not be against each other
We all need to wake up and get along with each other
We all should give to people who are in need
We all should stand up for what we believe in
If we all work together we can change this world.
Girlfriend
how can you
allow him to
continue to put you through
so much pain and heartache?
Girlfriend
it's so plain to see
that there's no way that he
wants you to ever be free
of his rusted chains
Girlfriend
he's taken away your smile
and when he thinks no one's around
that's when he puts you down
making you feel lower than dirt
Girlfriend
I've seen the many bruises on your face
along with the tears that's left a trace
it's your beauty he doesn't appreciate
he's trying his best to disfigure you
Girlfriend
he always makes you feel so small
with the many degrading names that he calls
you matter to him nothing at all
it's time to wake up and smell the coffee
Girlfriend
over and over he refuses to show you respect
over and over it's your very being that he neglects
he brags to his friends about how he has you in check
how can you continue to stay with him?
Girlfriend
it's high time that you start taking care of self
believe me, you can do bad all by yourself
put his sorry behind on the shelf!
and be the true warrior queen that you are
