roundabout

Round and round
my head is spinning
stop and start
its only the beginning

slow this train
I wanna get off
life is too short to slow
to fast to not

So many more
were making decisions
carefully we choose
with accuracy and precision

it's incredibly hard
life, it's tough
the days are long
the road's are rough

every moment
it matters immensely
every second
passes briefly

all the effort
the wins and loss
are worth a million
in all the chaos

So I'll enjoy it
and take deep breaths
it's an adventure
from birth, til death

:::::exhale:::::

rise

rise to the occasion
and muster the strength
because you're not alone
but more so than you think

There's no one to please
because this feat is impossible
no sense to appease
the opinions that are invaluable

It's you today
you, who gives
you who seeks happiness
you who lives

It's you lay with
who reflects at night
it's you who you should please
for you, you should fight

it's you, your opinion
It's you who you must find
it's you, you must live with
until the day you die!

NOW!

Now is the time
because it's running out
to make a few changes
as we walk about

The larger, the harder the fall
the world's a big place
but to small to do nothing at all

Come together, as one, as humans
sweep up the mess you've made
for our children

tomorrow is to late
we're barreling toward disaster
the slope is so steep
time passes faster and faster

Right now
right here
no waste
no fear

essential insanity

It's essential, insanity
to relinquish control

to regurgitate emotions
to express our inner soul

To free our shoulders
the heaviness that limits

To move past, move forward
if just for a few minutes

To stretch our heart
to loosen what binds

to take a deep breath
to relieve the mind

To lay down our baggage
to leave it behind.

The frivolous matters
lone and benign

waiting

Waiting....

The clock ticks a deafening sound.
This city,
It's bursting at the seams
I've grown bored of this town.

I have grown increasingly impatient.
Fighting against my own practicality,
a blatant vehemence.
I desire to conquer this life in it's entirety.

...but we must wait!

Damn this thing of which we call time!
Unstoppable, merely manageable, yet undefeatable
my woes, excitement, and source
time passes with a haste inconceivable.
