Family and friends read my work and try to do the math
Equations that can only be solved with a razor and warm bath
Daydreaming about a life I don’t have, a harsh truth for many
“Whatever happens, happens”, the mindset of plenty
Blessed and cursed with poetry, I’m officially 3k deep
The Raven resurrected, I’m Edgar and Sylvia while you sleep
Praying the Lord my soul to keep, I’m the greatest they’ll never know
Another point these thoughts and demons just won’t let go
But maybe they’re right, maybe I am mad
Maybe all my struggles were fate, and maybe throwing in the towel is the only choice I had
Throwing the towel
is not the only option
is not the only choice
don’t give in to it
shine brightly
as bright as you can
don’t hear that voice
with what you have
do the best you can
and with the fruits
of your harbor
sit back, relax
smile and rejoice.
