Not Reality, Actuality

Eyes open to reality but I'm stuck in actuality
My life is desirable but only to whom who never see me depressed hiding alone in my room 
I'm the fast car that speeds by you and for a second you wish it was at the turn of your neck but miles down the roads come to find me banged up in a wreck and for a sec I felt I had it all figured out until the impossible became possible because I guess It was always a possibility 
How do I accept my faults and move on without destroying my pride and dignity 
If we all matter and we're all matter how come I'm losing my energy like what's gotten into me I see no change in my appearance to be honest all I see is important people disappearing but that's only once it's too late and someone mentions their disappearance see I'm constructing a life no longer constructed of lies and I apologize if I lied I guess we're all a little compulsive making decisions on impulses and I'm very impulsive I do then I think I should've  thought before I did i should've never fought so many battles I should've quit and just hid but that's not in my character I'm too stuck on tryna make a difference so I take all of the blame even the outcome comes out different I don't ask you to understand nor do I ask you listen I'm just releasing my thoughts from this well guarded prison I write to clear my mind not to be relatable but that's often debatable my grass is barely green but I know people with a darker shade or two so I can't complain I just live content with the fact that I'm able to live I can't waste time wondering about the what ifs because life is uncertain and that's for certain my body is tired and my mind is still hurtin

Gods Gift

Am I a gift from god if so lord hold me
im just scared of the old me 
nd even when i pray my late nights seem lonely
Friends often seem phony
And being a hot boy only brings out the cold me 
I'm tired of not living only to know I'm dying slowly
They say life is a blessing I'm waiting for someone to show me
cuz life can leave shortly and even interesting things somehow now seem to bore me 
Things I use to love I look at now and think that ain't for me
im stuck in the ocean only looking for the shore see
life is so short to regret or forget or accept
so i do what i want i dont believe in respect
or neglect what heck you swim only to realize once you reach the shore youre a piece of sand just a spec 
in a life of ship wrecks 
and lifes a long rope firmly wrapped around your neck 
nd know if your life is messing up you could slip in a sec
i dont wanna live life strugglin off every check 
life has a lot to offer but not for me cuz ive checked
nd ive searched from the streets to a church
ive spilled my heart in every stanza and every verse 
my life feels like a movie for which i never rehearsed 
so curse at the sky nd ask why am i cursed 
life is a long ride but its smoother in a hearse
i want it all so bad but i question my willingness to work
i try to open my eyes when they are already wide open
wishing to wake up but im willing to keep hoping
that this is all a bad dream nd im on a bed comatose
i look at lifes doctor nd see reality hoping that they hold a dose
I rip myself to shreds and pull my heart right out of it
And see the face of the lord on it and realize I am gods gift
