Learn to love it.

Just when constant torment breaks-
Your mind bent weary full of ache-
Your heart innately follows suit-
No dream of ever seeing soothe-

The world will give you happy things-
Or bid you well on sharp Swift drink-
And find you well the sweet release
Of faith embedded or long time sleep.

A nap to quell the fettered mind
As dreams will loosen and clear the bind
And there will be the open door
Through past torment you've been through it many times before.

And dad will tell you, "this too shall pass"
And friends will say, "no ailments last."
So think until your death arrives
You're going to wake to tomorrow's fight.

And weary though it makes you now
Tomorrow brings another row
So sleep emboldened that life never quits
You live, you fight, you take more shit.

But all in all, life never quits
Yes, all in all, learn to love the bullshit.

Living is a gift

Keep god in your heart,
hold love in your life,
don't fear other people,
you're not always right.
Forgive when you can, stand up to the man
and love everybody: treat all as your family.

A million faces in every day,
the devil works hard but you don't have to sway.
You CAN say when your wrong and help carry on:
for those who don't know and those who need you to be strong.
Remember we're all people, we've all got our flaws;
Sometimes you might find it hard to go on.

I've seen a president break down in tears
And 10 years given to a man without any peers.
A lesson that we all have to learn is stay honest:
because there are people out there who will kill you for just trying
to live a life out in the open disagreeing with policies that happen to be broken;
but think of this while your choking on Hollywood smoke:
you can make a difference or complain about being broke.

There's always a worse path that any of us could have taken
but people: none breathing out there are forsaken...
