A Fighting Chance

"Don't be hatin'" is what they say,

Even though things never go your way.

You try and you try with all of your might,

But things never seem to turn out right.

Don't ever give up. Hold on to your dreams.

Things aren't always as difficult as they seem.

You can do anything you put your mind to.

If one door closes, another will open just for you.

People will tell you that you'll never make it there.

They'll say you're wasting your time. You're not going anywhere.

Though all myths do have a grain of truth,

Even the smallest seeds have the chance to bear fruit.

Whenever you screw up, keep your head held high.

Good things happen to those who try.

Good Advice #4

Don't let others get to you. People are going to say what they think, whether it's right or not. They'll hurt you and make you think you're the worst person on the planet, but that doesn't mean it's true. Be yourself, and don't let others change you. You're beautiful just the way you are, and don't ever forget it.

You say it's just a game. You say it's nothing at all.

That is what you always say until you take it too far.

You always seem to use me. You always seek my aid,

But when it's your turn to return the favor, you never do the same.

I've done nothing to make you hate me. I've never steered you wrong. 

Why do you feel the need to treat me so very, very wrong?

You act as if I don't exist until you need something done.

Then you come looking for me and treat me like I'm number one.

I'm sick of all your childish games, of all this pointless mess.

I'll just have to find myself a better friend I guess.

So when you wrong another and I refuse to right your mistake,

Take this as a lesson not to screw over the friends you make.

Good Advice #3

If you are to speak, be sure you are prepared to follow through in action. Otherwise it is likely better left unsaid.

Outsider

Poor sweet girl.

Always pretending to be someone she's not.

Always misunderstood.

Never accepted.

Never letting anyone inside.

Never showing the pain she feels.

Never being who she is.

Always alone.

Always sad.

Always left behind.

Always weeping.

Always lost.

Never found.

Always the outsider.

Forever silent.

Good Advice #2

Never give up. Never give in. Fight for what you have. If it's worth fighting for, it's worth holding on to.

Death's Enemy

I met Death once.

It was many years ago.

I met him in an alleyway.

The night was dark and cold.

His face was that of sadness.

His eyes were hard as stone.

His skin was cold as ice.

His voice warned doom to come.

Death said he's show me things.

He said I'd enjoy my stay.

He said he's take me places

Both beautiful and far away.

I saw that Death was cunning,

But I was cunning too.

I knew that if I followed,

My Earthly life would be through.

With an air of false regret,

I refused Death's gracious offer.

My refusal angered Death.

He sensed that I was smarter.

Death said my life would end.

It would end in pain and sorrow.

He said he'd make me suffer;

That I'd be lucky to survive till tomorrow.

But I did not fear Death.

I did not fear to leave.

Only those who fear Death

Will fall down to their knee.

Only those that are cowardly

Will leave their lives behind,

And follow Death on a journey,

An endless one through time.

Death saw that I outwitted him, 

For don't all of you see?

Those who do not fear Death,

They never truly leave.

Their souls will take their places 

In Heaven or in Hell.

Their bodies will be buried

And decay as everyone's will.

But their legacy will live on.

It will live on through and through.

Those who don't fear live life to the fullest

As all of us should do.

That's why Death did not take me,

For fear he did not see.

Those who do not fear,

Death's enemy they'll always be.

Good Advice #1

Remember the past. Focus on the present. Plan for the future.

Such a Shame

It's such a shame.

You're playing all of these games.

You're far to blind

To see what's in front of yours eyes.

I give you all that I have,

But you still want more.

It's not enough for you.

It's never enough.

You expect perfection,

But I can't give you that.

Why won't you let me go?

Why won't you release me?

You keep leading me on.

You won't admit that you don't care.

You try to feel something,

But you can't.

You never have.

You never will.

Admit it.

Just let me go.

I don't want this.

You don't want this.

Move on

Stop lying to yourself.

Stop lying to the world.

Stop lying to me.

Prison of Souls

Trapped inside the Prison of Souls.

The road ahead that no one knows.

A tortured maze where there is no light.

The scent of corpses fills the night.

Inside your head is a continuous cry.

Increasing in sound, on your nerves it does pry.

The wail of others fills your ears. 

A painful death is what one fears. 

To steal you in the dead of night,

Without the chance to even fight.

To slowly tear your soul apart.

From your body it must part.

To bag you away, triumphantly grim.

A tasty feast Death has won again.

Distrust and roaming eyes appear.

Betrayal slowly drawing near.

The prison of souls, a dreadful place.

One I fear we all must face.

Inside of us, though there is light,

Darkness will come to blur our sight.

It be too late for us to see.

Our final downfall the Prison of Souls will be.
