Seems as we age we tend to wander back to yesterday
Our memories cling to personal things of times now far away
As one by one Life calls us out we move on up the queue
Towards the space left empty by the loved ones we once knew

If there's one thing I know is that I really don't know much
Although my moments may all hang about with life and such
It's very clear to me in living life there's just one chance
I simply let it go and let whatever lead the dance

Acceptance of that profound fact that what will be will be
Is really not a hardship knowing what will come to me
I've lived my life in moments and tried hard to live it well
Could I have done it better? - whatever - only time will tell

However I believe we're born with destinies in place
We may think we are in control but friends that's not the case
One journey ends, another starts,our spirits endless roam
We simply close our eyes and let whatever take us home.

i smoke to
forget the lies
you told me

inhale
breathe hard

exhale
feel relaxed
im calm

i don’t think
about you
anymore

I’ve separated myself
into boxes under the bed
and into cupboards
behind the important things
so there’s never a chance
I’ll get in the way
you can easily find
all the parts of me you need
and ignore all the rest
.

I was a withered monument
of forgotten reflections..

No one realized I wasn't there..

A shadow lingering in corners,
         but never seen..

I was apparition of the lingering
   life I led.. no one noticed when I was gone..

People power people, and pick their equals.
Ideas, decisions, and what becomes real.
Whether we stand in a line, elections.
Decide who continues on, selection.

The rich become rich only from people’s contributions.
Using their products, services, or through admiration.
Social media, likes, comments, a way to get attention.
Striving to break from conformity, this world’s automation.

Scream, shout, acting strange in public.
Shoot, attack, people turn on each other, frantic.
People become desperate, run out of options.
Detectives try to figure out motives, using caution.

Joker said it best, why so serious?
Wasting time on the small things, getting furious.
When you can turn it around, hear how they feel.
Truly care and help them heal.
Be a friendlier face, selfless.
To those hiding in their shells, helpless.

Maybe everything seems right for a while.
But this world is in chaos, and in need of smiles.

Why so serious?
Smile
