Life
Fingers grab green grass
Trees sway with the wind
You change color
You're bright and vibrant
Green peaks through
yellow and dull
Nothing to show
On the ground
Were water and snow
walk over you
Breath escapes your lips
Some people say water
Holds memories forever
Just like minds
But some things slips through the cracks
Slithers like a snake through the jungle
Water never stops flowing
Life never stops going
I stare at the ceiling
Stars stare back at me
Heart is pounding
Hands are shaking
The world is spinning
The deers are falling
The words are daring
The school is draining
Breath escapes your lips
Does anything have a script?
This feeling, like a pit
Makes me sick
But leaves grow back
Water never stops
Wind always moves
My mother approves
Breath escapes lips
Go out with friends
Seems like life will never end
Lend happiness
It feels like sappiness
Ha ha ha
This is living
Right?
Spending time with the ones you love
Even if you are doing something dumb
I find the small joys
And I live for them
Does that sound dumb?
Should I live for the big things
Live to help people
Live to provide
Live to die
Or just live to do them all
Live to hurt
Live to cry
Live to scream
Live your life
Because even though its sappy
And it may be crappy
Lifes supposed to be happy
Scratch your hands on woodchips
Scrap your shins on concrete
Bloody elbows from falling bikes
Take a hike
Stop and smell every flower
Embrace their power
Jump off towers
Never cower
Let light in
Reflect the dark
You will always make a mark
Breath escapes your lips
