If you were never given rules
Never given chances
Would you ever break them?
Would you ever take them?
Lydia E Jan 2012
There's honestly nothing else to do,
But sit here, think, ponder, wonder
What else can we do in this life, again?
Why else are we here?
That's what makes  us different from them
The animals out there
*******, *******, killing, living without meaning
It's our thoughts, our cognitive processes
Not our wills, our power, our strength
They have those, too, *******, I'm sure.
It's not our intelligence, either
Animals out there overpower us with that, too
It's the fact that some of us wonder, "why"
Some of us sit here and try to figure out, "how"
And some of us go as far as to figure out exactly, "what"
It is that drives us to do the things we do
We don't know why we do the things we do
That doesn't even matter in the long run
What matters is what we do
And how it happens
What happens after
And what is effected by the actions involved
That's it, that's all, that's good enough,
Right?
Question it, please!
Question our existence
Wonder why, how, what, because
No one else will and no one else cares
Why follow something blindly?
Lydia E Jan 2012
Let's take a drag together.
Smoke with me?
Breathe with me?
Take a year off  your life with me?
Don't worry, it's not that much
Compared to what else you could do.
Want to do that, too?
Why not?
Lydia E Jan 2012
It's time to take chances
It's the time to take risks
There will never be another moment
Quite like this
It's time to stop thinking
It's the time to let go
Who else will stand here and ask you
To stop moving
To stop breathing
Stop time?
It's time to live life
By ending this last breath
(How else could you know
How great it feels to breathe?)
It's time to change everything
So things can start happening
It's time we let fate take control
It's time we sit back, relax
And let life take its toll
On us.
Lydia E Jan 2012
Don't say yes
Just so you won't reject
Don't agree
Just so you don't regret
Seeing some tears
Breaking some hearts
Because going along with a lie
Isn't half as bad as denying pleasure
Lydia E Jan 2012
The two of them lay soundlessly awake
Not one word said, too many to think
But what's left to say that hasn't been said?
What's left to do than lay silently in bed?
It's a dead end, for sure, but why not stay put?
It's pointless, of course, so why stick it out?
Can't help but wonder, can't help but think,
That maybe, just possibly, there's some sort of link
But maybe there's nothing, could be just that
It's something to do, and nothing more than that
Lydia E Dec 2011
Some nights I'll live far worse than others
Some nights I'll want to re-do
But, honestly, I won't regret a single thing
Because these experiences and thoughts
Will shape the person I will become
Will help me help others create their futures
Don't stand here and judge the decisions I make
Don't sit there and stare as I **** up
Join me in living and making mistakes!
Join me in embracing the fact that we're human!
Embarrass yourself with me, act like a child
Leap off your pedestal you've made for yourself
Come join us, ****, down here on Earth
Live this life in a way that's worth living
Don't care about judgement and don't dare judge yourself
Just let go of those fears and all inhibitions
Take hold of my hand and I swear
You won't regret it for more than a night.
