It's a gift

It's a gift

It's a gift
so take it
just take it
and give a piece away to others
to understand how
it's a gift.

Anxious

Anxious 

Anxiety stems from living in the future
as depression stems from living in the past
as happiness stems from just living.

Forgive me

Forgive me

Forgive me
for who I was
and how I felt
that earthly day

Forgive me
for I'll forgive you
as he forgave us.

When you want something

When you want something

When you want something
everything seems to take you there
to be for that cause

When you want something
your sentences seem to go up the hill
leading toward its house
and your eyes seem to stare
at its oceans and streams

When you want something
it's hard to stop
worrying
fighting
tossing and turning
over how it could be
or couldn't be

When you want something
is there a plan B?

When you want something
you go full force
and find yourself within that something
as it meets you at the finish line.

Comparing myself to you

Comparing myself to you

If I spent all day
comparing myself to you
why I could never win the fight,
the argument, the turmoil within myself

If I spent all day
comparing you to me
why I could never end the criticism
of this two way street

If I spent all day
comparing me to me
why I would see growth,
a journey, a purpose, me!

Jealousy

Jealousy

Jealousy
it seems to come over me
whenever I am pleased with myself

A beautiful day
let's go out and play

but no, no
it could be better
you could be better
it all could be better
so why even try?

Human beings

Human beings

Alienation is an absurd cyclone

that takes us in and makes us alone

when in the eye of it all 

is humanity all exactly alike.
