How to be alive

Choose to be with yourself
You are valuable
Ask yourself for advice
Instead of asking others
Observe ordinary situations
Understand what is around you
Close your eyes in a dark room
And appreciate the silence
What do you see?
Listen to your inner voice
Be kind to yourself
Cherish every interaction
Nothing is boring
You're just not paying enough attention
Don't stagnate; change something
Don't fill your quiet time with mindless entertainment
Instead, seek out answers to your inner questions
Create something meaningful
Lose yourself in it
Pursue your plans and dreams
Immediately and every day.
Do not wait.
Do something alone, enjoy it!
Start something that scares you.
Get in over your head.
Volunteer your time for a cause you believe in.
Give and give again, and then give some more.
Laugh every day.

We’re a pair of parallel lines You’re just like me We’re on the same path But we don’t ever meet You talk to all my friends  but me I guess I’m not that nice after all You You’re in the house up on a cloud Me I’m on a mission.

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie. 

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
