A new influence A different view Siren blares through the gritty storm Turning my heart to listen watching behind bruised lids as patters form. Abundance of choice provides the ultimate illusion... My pulse quickens prickling my skin hot and breathless and disbelieving. The path darkens while crescent moon returns reminding me I'm so very small Amor fati Just stand tall.

Quit taking good things for granted, I'd just wished I was in your shoes, If only I had all of what you got, You just really don't have a clue. You have so many, many blessings, You really just don't truly see, I am not trying to sound envious, but Sometimes, I'd wished that was me. Be thankful for what you possess, because a lot of us truly don't have, Some have more than we could inherit, From this, you should be truly glad. A roof over your head, and clothes to wear, Food to eat, and to also to share, so many shoes, that you have lost count, and clothes you can't wear, so why not give them out. It's a blessing to have all the things you own The Lord Blessed you with it, His mercy is showned. People have things that they don't even use, So, Donate your clutter, if you so choose, Just a word of advice, to make it very clear, Be thankful for what you got before it disappears. B.R.

With heavy heart I sigh Sipping my tears, I laugh For I fear another goodbye I stand with my heart split into half Destiny has always been this cruel to me Sipping my tears, I laugh Why can't this agony cease to be I wish my life was something to adore Destiny has always been this cruel to me I wonder if you will turn out like this too, never you swore Love was an enemy, an enemy that I couldn’t fight I wish my life was something to adore I can't find any hope, any light You said to see within me, you'll find Love was an enemy, an enemy that I couldn’t fight The world was not kind, no it wasn’t kind With heavy heart I sigh With no hope, no love I couldn’t find For I fear another goodbye
