He loved you

He loved all of you

All who ever caused him pain

You all took advantage of him

The person he once was

But that person is no more

Something awoke inside that boy

That you all just seemed to want to make suffer

He built himself back up

Piece by piece

Still looking to find every piece that you all shattered

But the person he has become

Will never be broke down

Will never be ta...

The heart can be a weapon

A very well known tool

A supporting factor

The perfect side kick

But it’s also our weak point

Our vulnerable spot

People see how kind and pure

Our heart has become

It scares them

That something can be that pure

So they attack it

They try and hurt it anyone they can

It’s a continuous cycle that will forever continue

But

We get used to it

We build those obsidian ...

It can be a nasty thing

Getting hurt so bad

So many times

But

Wanting to feel that rush again

To feel the warmth of the world

The urge to jump back in

That trap

That warm oasis

That feels like like home

But son,

Don’t fall for it

You’ve gone through it too many times

Don’t fall for that mirage again...

We never know what lives underneath those who live among us

We never know how someone can come to be

The pain

The suffering

The guilt

The hurt

We never know what goes on beneath anyone’s surface

So do yourself a favor

Be nice to anyone you can come across

Help that woman across the street

Give that lonely man company

Support that teenager that has been bullied

Motivate the girl who has ...

It is a two sided battle

We are constantly destroyed by the world

We are constantly destroyed by ourselves

But

It’s okay to be destroyed

It’s okay to be broken

It’s okay to be shattered

It’s okay to be cut open

Because everything magnificent

Every single war

Every single historic city

Every successful civilization

We come back stronger

We build ourselves back up

Coming back better than...

The underworld can be a nasty place

It originated from ancient mythology

But

If you really think about it

We all make ourselves our own underworld

If you truly think about it

Depression and self hate is our underworld

So

I guess what I’m trying to say is

Be the hades of your own underworld

Own all of that hate

All of that sadness

All of that self doubt

And rule over that world

Like you ...

We often gets very confused

Upon

Choosing between forgiveness and grudging

We get hurt so many times

We just never want to forgive

Just to be consumed by so so much anger

So much darkness

So much bad voodoo

It just isn’t fair to us to hold onto all of it

Just let it go

Forgive

Be kind to yourself

Forgive every bad thing that has ever happened

And look for better beginnings....

At the very beginning

We all walk through a door

As we grow older

We are introduced to many different types

Doors of opportunity

Doors of sadness

Doors of lessons

Doors of regret

But the most important door of them all

That we all walk through

Is the door of you

Mending all of those other doors together

Walking through that final door and

Becoming who the world wanted you to become....

It has always been a constant battle

Head versus heart

But

Truth be told

Neither are them are wrong

They both want what’s best for us

They might have different ways of showing it

The head making us overthink

Or the heart making us feel way too deeply

So the hard truth is

We just have to find that inner peace

Between both the heart and the mind

It’s exactly like the ying and yang

We need...

Brave can mean many things to someone

It can mean

Taking that leap

Getting out of bed in morning

Asking out that big high school crush

Conquering a new fear

Getting rid of a toxic friend

It all means something different to us

But it all ends in the same result

With us being as brave as a lion

Taking our quest head on

Conquering it

And being braver than the lion itself....
