[ Do You Know That It Is Time For Me ]
[ To Be Who I Was Meant To Be ]

[ Not The Person Who People Think That I Should ]
[ Because I Don’t Think That I Would ]
[ Even If I Thought That I Could ]

[ Does Anyone ]
[ Actually Become ]
[ Who, In Their Own Mind, Is Number One? ]

[ It Would Always Take Alot ]
[ Of Thought ]
[ To Come To Terms With What I’ve Actually Got ]

[ Do Things Become Controversial ]
[ Or Conventional ]
[ When You Think That You’ve Reached Your Potential? ]

[ When Reaching One’s Potential, It Sure Can Be A Mystery ]
[ Sometimes Getting There ]
[ Is Pure Misery ]

(984)▪︎[ It’s Hard … 7•24•2019 ]

[ Some Things In Life Can Be Extremely Hard ]
[ It All Depends On Who’s Carrying That Specific Card ]

[ On That Particular Day ]
[ Then You Have To Find That One Way ]

[ To Survive ]
[ To Stay Alive ]

[ What If You Had To Go Throughout Life With Diminishing
Sight? ]
[ Would You Lay Down & Wait For Death? ]
[ Or Stand Up, Face The Wind & Fight? ]

[ No One Wants To Take Death Head On ]
[ No One Wants To Be Here Today & Tomorrow Be Gone ]

[ As They Say (LIVE TODAY AS IF YOU WERE GOING TO
BE GONE TOMORROW) ]
[ No One Ever Said That Time Is Something You Can Borrow ]

[ When You Borrow Something, The Rule Is You Have To
Give It Back ]
[ How Does One Do That ]
[ When It’s Time That You Originally Lacked ]

[ So How Can You Pay Back Something That You Don’t
Have Extra Of? ]
[ Unless You Are Talking About Affection & Love ]

[ Love Can Grow & Grow & Grow Some More ]
[ If You Play Your Cards Right ]
[ Love Can Fill The Room, From The Ceiling To The
Floor ]
[ But When Day Turns Into Night ]
[ Some Negative People Keep Score ]
[ When They Want To Fight ]
[ While Standing On The Other Side Of The Door ]

[ That Is A Good Place ]
[ For Them To Stand ]
[ So You Won’t To See The Face ]
[ Of The One Making Demands ]

[ You May Ask (KEEP SCORE OF WHAT?) ]
[ They Keep Score Of How Your Hair May Look ]
[ Or How Those Jeans Fit On Your Butt ]

[ Those Are The One’s That Always Cause The Strife ]
[ You Never Need Those Kinds Of People In Your Life ]

[ A Good Use Of A Verb ]
[ Is When You Tell Them That They Have Been Kicked
To The Curbed

[ Life Is Like A Competition For The Best Of The Best ]
[ Every New Day Comes With A Harder Test ]

[ There Is No Pillow Talk ]
[ Life Is Not A Leiserly Walk ]

[ There Are Days When You Need To Be Awake & Alert
24/7 ]
[ When You Need Encouragement ]
[ Do You Look Upward, Towards The Heavens? ]

[ What Exactly Gives You The Courage To Move On
These Days? ]
[ Do You Find The Guts & The Ways? ]

[ & Reasons To Stay? ]
[ Does The Thought Of Ignorant People ]
[ Give You The Idea To Walk Away? ]

[ So What If You Walked Away Tomorrow? ]
[ Would There Be The Need ]
[ To Find Money To Borrow? ]

[ What Causes ]
[ You To Make So Many Pauses? ]

[ Sometimes To Figure That Out You Must Look Within ]
[ But When Or Where Do You Begin? ]

[ The Sin Of Your Past ]
[ Were Those So Serious That The Animosity & Pain ]
[ Continue To Last? ]

[ Are You Made Of Soft Material That Turns Completely
Hard ]
[ When Things Are Removed ]
[ Do They Leave Lifelong Scars? ]

[ What Do You Decide To Fix? ]
[ What Do You Nix? ]

[ Are You Set? ]
[ What Things Should You Forget? ]
[ What Decisions Do You Regret? ]

[ There Is Nothing Wrong ]

(1127)▪︎[ The Rose … 9•5•2019 ]

[ There Are Some People Who Learn About Life On
Their Own ]
[ Some People Just Want To Be Left Alone ]
[ Those People March To A Different Tone ]
[ Not Just To A Different Drum ]
[ If You Throw A Party ]
[ Are Those The One’s You Hope Never Come? ]
[ Those People Always Look Out For #1 ]
[ The First Time You Disagree With Their Thinking ]
[ They Could Start Drinking ]
[ & Then Your Relationship With Them Is Done ]

[ Beware, Because These Types Of People Tend To

Act Like Hanging Judges ]
[ If You Don’t Think Their Way ]
[ They Hold Grudges ]
[ That Alter Your Vision Of Them ]
[ It’s Like Cutting The Head Of The Rose Off Its Stem ]
[ It Alters The Look Of That Flower Immediately ]
[ & Considerably ]
[ No One Does That Gleefully ]

[ It Made That Flower Look Alot Worse ]
[ It Could Be Like You Broke A Mirror ]
[ Now Have The 7 Year Curse ]

[ You May As Well Take It Back & Bury It In The Garden That It Came From ]
[ Hopefully The Owner Of The Garden Will Still Have Some ]
[ The Moral Of The Story Is ]
[ Don’t Cut Off The Head Of Something Of Beauty ]
[ Killing A Rose Is Not Your Duty ]

[ Oh, Yes Ma’am ]

[ Saturdays, Have Never Been The Same ]
[ Ever Since Jori ]
[ Stopped Calling Your Name ]

[ You Moved Far Far Away ]
[ That Means We Can’t See You ]
[ Every Saturday ]

[ So Today Was The Celebration Of Your Birth ]
[ We All Should Celebrate Every Day You’ve Been On

[ So If The Celebrating Must Be Condensed To Just One Day ]
[ I’ll Try To Find A Way ]
[ To Shorten Down What I Want To Say ]
[ I’ll Write It In A Story ]
[ If I May ]

[ So How Many Times Have You Celebrated Turning Thirty? ]
[ The Only One Who Knows The Truth Is Only A Little Birdie? ]

[ I Hope You Had Fun Today & Celebrated In Style ]
[ After Writing This ]
[ I’ll Be Sad For Awhile ]

[ Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Sorry This Is Late ]

[ Is Trust A Must? ]
[ Why Is The End Result Often A Bust? ]

[ & There Are Millions Of People Out There ]
[ Who Really Don’t Care ]

[ Those Are The Ones ]

[ By Any Means ]
[ They Will Always Sit Back & Be Numb ]

[ The Confusion Is Oftentimes Day & Night ]
[ When I’m Startled Awake ]
[ I’m In The Mode Of Fight Or Flight ]

[ Do I Run ]
