Living the Life

So overwhelmed, lost my train of thought. 
Missing my life, thinking a lot.
 
Alway's use to be laughing and enjoying the fun.
Now all I want to do is run.

Can't believe in myself if I'm living a lie.
I just mind my own business and don't care to know why.

I live each day like it's my last.
Time goes by way too fast.
I keep pushing forward leaving the past in the past.

When things get rough, I get even more tough.
I am always dealing with stuff. 
It's better to be too much instead of not enough.

True love is hard to find. 
Its best to speak your mind.
You can't adjust the hands of time, and there is no rewind.
Who cares what's lagging behind.
Beautiful is only seen by the blind.

I dream big and try to pray each night.
If it gets real then I stand and fight.
 
Live without regret, 
the small stuff dont sweat,
forgive and forget, 
whatever you give, you will get.

Trust no one.
Is easier said then done.
What's done under the moon, will show in the sun.

Pair

There’s a couple with a story to tell. 
A great match. Gets along well.

No other pair, can compare, to what they share and how much they care.
They love without despair. They even breathe the same air. 
Then slowly their love starts to fade away.
They argue and fight everyday.
Worried that things are not going to be okay.
One wants to play, and the other has to pay. 

They cause each other so much pain.
One likes to complain.
The other can never explain.
They have a lot to loose and even more to gain.
Their tears can make it rain.

In the end, there stands only one. 
She is here, but he is done. 
No one has won.
No one had fun.

Overthinking About You

Too much on my mind. Wishing I could rewind. True love is so hard to find.
At times, I feel like I've went blind. How did I get so far behind. I really can't 
afford to waste anymore time.

My heart is like gold. 
My life is a story that someday will be told, when I'm old.
I have seen the world unfold, I have struggled but remained strong and bold.

Everyone is born to live and they live to die. 
Things happen and we don't know why. It never hurts to try. 
I think the hardest thing I ever had to do is "say goodbye".

You can't always be right, Where there is dark, there is also light. 
There are moments of struggles and times you must fight.

When it feels like hope is fading away, and it seems to be getting worse every
day. Find your God, and pray. Eventually, you will find your way.

When it rains, it will shine. However, you will be fine.

Distant Love

Why do you always get your way. You never do anything you say. You choose 
to be so far away. You make me feel some type of way. You don't even care
if I'm okay. You call me names everyday and never have anything nice to say.

I never meant to hurt you, and I apologize for the pain. I cry so much it could
rain. 

Nothing I say or do, gets through to you. I have asked you over and over to 
tell me how to make it up to you, I want to show you that my love is true.

If you would just open your eyes and try to see, you would never believe how
much you mean to me.

We can't even communicate, You used to be so great. Now I am just someone
you hate.

Things will never again be the same. I'm the one you always blame. I am so 
tired of playing your game, and feeling ashamed.

You will never love me again. You don't even wanna be my friend. So maybe 
this is the end.

Everything we shared, you threw away.
Every time we talk you have nothing nice to say. 
I feel like I am in your way.

You seem so happier without me, so I should set you free. Maybe we are not
meant to be. You don't see what I see. 

I love you more then you know, but I think I have to let you go.

Too much should be enough. When times get rough, We suppose to be tough
and get through this stuff.

You just give up so fast. You have put me last. You are stuck in the past, and 
having a blast. 
So, I am gonna leave you alone, and love you from here. I will keep you in 
my heart so you will always be near.

Only Me

Wishing I could fly wild and free, to get away from all the misery. I just want to see, what is life’s purpose for me. So I can be all I can be. 
Only me. 
I wish I could read anyone’s mind. I wish true love wasn’t so hard to find. If only everyone could be kind. It’s so easy to fall behind. 

Only me. 
What if there was no shame. No one to blame. No more pain. Would life still be the same.
Only me. Is my name. 

Is it only me. Am I the only one? 
With no where to go and no where to run.
Wanting to reach the sun. Feeling like I’m done. 

Only me. Can be me. And see what I see.
And when I do, I see. 
Misery with company. Tears of pain. Nothing to gain. Drenched from the rain. 
A trembling train. In pieces from a falling plain. Many people insane. Some need a new brain. Others traveling down the wrong lane. 
And…. Only me. Slowly going down a drain

Feelings

How could you do this to me? Are you too blind to see?
You should want what's best for me. 
We had the chance to be, all we can be, but now it's history.

I'm full of disbelief and despair. I wasn't aware, but I was there. So much I wanted to share. But your just another one who doesn't care.

How do you sleep at night? Knowing that you ain't right. Keep your game tight
because everything done in the dark always comes to light. 

There's no words to even describe you. Pathetic will do. Or what is under my shoe. 

I don't even care if you come to realize. Karma will catch you by surprise.
So when you sleep you better open your eyes.

If that's what it takes for you to get bye. Then okay. Don't cry, it's obvious that we don't see eye to eye. 
So goodbye.

Leaving Him

I don't know where to start.... All I know is my life has been torn apart.
The only one I love has broke my heart.

I thought I found the one sent from above.
So I made him mine, and gave him my love.

I foolishly thought his love was real.
Ugly and worthless is how he makes me feel.

Loosing him scares me to death.
Loving him makes me loose my breath.

He acts like everything is okay.
We argue and fight every day.

Terrible thoughts he puts in my head.
We are barely hanging by a thread.
He has even said.... That I am better off dead.

I bet he never thought, that he would get caught.
Believe it or not, I connected each and every dot.

I need to leave him be. 
I don't deserve the way he treats me.

He never wants to try.
He is so quick to say goodbye.
A lot he has said has been a lie.
He loves to make me cry. 
I still love him and can't explain why.

A Life

For once, a life free from despair. 
Fake people acting like they care.
But, yet they are never there.  

I gave up on the fake, and lost hope for the real.
Some kill over a deal. 
No one cares how you feel.
So many dying, over a pill.

Stay on your toes. 
Never trust those hoes.
Keep the powder out of your nose.
It is what it is, that's just way it goes. 

Keep pushing, don't fall behind. Stay on the grind. Be careful not to loose 
your mind. 
Never think twice. Don't ask for advice. And if your nice, you may have to 
pay a price.

Read between the lines, Prepare for the end of times.
Look out for the warning signs. 

Be you, Be true. You'll figure out what to do. 
Life is too short to be sad and blue.

Be careful what you say. Try to stay, in today.
Don't let nothing get in your way.

Trust no one, and forgive yourself.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. 
Everyone has a story to tell.
It's time to come out of your shell.

Falling Out Love

I am tired of all this ship. I'm done.
I surrender. You won.
I hope you had fun. 
Shame on me for thinking you were the one. 

I really thought we'd make it through.
I really am in love with you. 
There's nothing more that I can do.
I think it's time for us to find someone new.

Your great in everyway.
I would much rather stay. 
But you have pushed me too far away.......I cry everyday. 
There is no way - that we will be okay. 
So Goodbye is what I'm trying to say.

Maybe just some time off is best. 
Maybe we both need some good rest, to allow our emotions to digest.
We both deserve the best, and nothing less.

I don't want to move on. Nor can I continue to hold on.
I don't think together is where we belong.

We need some time to think. It's too late for a shrink.
We are on the same boat, however it's about to sink.

I want you, But I don't feel you want me to. 
I am the only one trying to figure out what to do.
Cause it never matters to you.

I have tried everything, but it's still all bad.
I'm always sad, and your always mad.

There's not much more I can say.
We need to take some time away.
Maybe we'll try again one day.

It's worth a try, and a lot better than goodbye.
We just can't see eye to eye, and neither one of us knows why.

Later we can start over again. 
Until then. 
I am still your friend.
This doesn't have to be the end.

I hope one day, you'll see, or at least agree,
If it's meant for us to be, then we will be.

A Way To Live

Alone, sad and mad all at the same time. 
I have so much pain that it should be a crime. 

This crappy way of life is all I’ve known.
Actions I have to own.
My kids are nearly grown. 

Filled with fear, no chance of escape.
I could really use a super man cape.

I’ve helped so many, and hurt much more.
Been on a mission to find the exit door.
I don’t even know what I’m looking for. 

Choices I’ve made haven’t been great. 
Love has taught me how to hate.
I always have too much on my plate. 
Now I just need to find my fate.

I have laughed and loved, and I have pushed and shoved.
I knew when to be tough. 
I can get through times that are rough.
I just need to learn when enough is enough.

I have to live like there’s no tomorrow.
I can’t keep drowning myself in sorrow.
