Rise or Fall

 Take a hit and hold it tight

Exhale and observe these stars tonight

Life is going so fast

No good thing gonna last

Feel the good and void the bad

Take another hit; feel rad

This life is all we got; live it up

No sense dreaming of the end to give up

Tell me, what do you see when you look at me?

Is he a beast or is he friendly?

Am I doing something right or wrong?

Wrestling with these thoughts so long

Try to see the brighter sides

But I'm always aware of the ides

Turn the shit around

Pick myself up off the ground.

Go hard or not at all

I will get back up if I fall

Last hit to feel lit

My never quit game so legit

Make this life mine through the pain

You'll see me celebrating with middle fingers up come sun or rain

The Year-Long Goodbye

  I sit in a boat in a sea of sorrow Waiting for the new day tomorrow I long for another talk Or a long destinationless walk I want you here to talk to me I want to know if you're proud of me I want to go for a ride In that car in which you had a lot of pride I want to know if I'm doing anything right Or have you take this anger so I'm not uptight You've been gone over a year Yet I struggle to let out a single tear Why you had to go is a mystery But I'm left here in misery Please come back for a night Help me see it'll all be alright The pain will never fade Maybe just become a lighter shade Wherever you are, I love you I just hope you know, I'll never not miss you Rest easy with no pain Hopefully one day I can see you again
