Having to eat our own words
should give us food for thought.
Irena Jay Dec 2019
Working doesn't need to be fun.
All that matters is the income.
That's how it's done.

Studying is not always easy,
take it as a man,
don't be cheesy,
that's how it's done.

Having stress and almost no time..
Just take a second and make a rhyme.
That's how it's done.

We always complain but hey,
life could be harder don't say nay
Just put your head up high
Look forward and be a wise guy.
Don't let it bring you down,
That's how it's done.

Die with memories
Memories are your stories
Stories of your dreams
Let your dreams become reality
When you die don't die with dreams, die with memories of you achieving your dreams.

This life is a conundrum,
Sometimes you get the hidden meaning,
At Times you grasping at air, gasping for oxygen.
Deprived of life, choking.
Emotions twistetIy clouded, your direction seems caught in a head spin.

These times we have to put it down as rough terrain,
Just swing through, bully your way through the pain
Trying to not misplace who you are,
Losing it, grabbing hold of your mind
Just to keeps us from not going insane.

This is life's work out, it will only make us stronger.
Dark is absence of light, so always keep the
fire inside you burning, it's a bonfire
Ensuring, we will never falter
a mountain stance,
We leave all the numbing pain at the alter.
Sometimes life can be tough,
We tougher,
So never give an inch, take a stance like a fighter
We swing back
In the corner it should cower
This is not a gimmick, within, you have the power.

Many take Faith in God
Or The Spiritual World
Or other Power.
It gives them Purpose
And makes them feel good.

I smile for them
In their Positive View
And wish them luck with that.

I hope they are right
In their beliefs
For I may benefit too.

But, let’s face it,
Science shows
That when we die,
Each one of us,
Our flame is totally
Extinguished.
No-one lives forever.
Everyone dies.

We are reduced to skeletons
Or scattered ashes
(Unless kept in an urn)
Or in some other form
Of “preservation”.

These are the facts
From which
We cannot escape.

All the more important then
That as the cliché goes
We make the most
Of what remains
Of our Life.

Important that we Love all living things
And do our best
To Achieve all that we can,
Aspire and Succeed
For a better world
And for The Common Good.

I have a dream, I am a dreamer.
I dream to become a writer
who can inspire other
So can I be your motivator?

Because I am a survivor
From my past irrational fear
Which I've been suffer
From what they called disorder.

I love writing, especially when I'm inspired
But all stories, poems and words are hided
Hid by fears and worries which I had
I am afraid of what people say unfiltered

I am worried about what people say in my works
So I choose to keep all my works in my notes
And preferably keep silent when I write
Until my dream starts to fell apart

I waste a lot of opportunities
Time and more chances
To show what God gave from me
Because I fear for nothing

We are here in the world full of potential,
To honor you, admired you and judge you
So don't be afraid to show what your talent is
Because not everyone is the same as you are

No matter what you are doing
People have words to say for everyone
Don't focus on negative
Just focus what your dream and passion is


Don't fear for nothing.

You can change your life, if you want to;
Gather all those broken pieces,
Pick yourself up, no need to feel blue,

Glue them together, make something new,
Rise like a phoenix, shed like a snake,
You can change your life, if you want to,

Turn over a new leaf, buy a horseshoe,
Smile at the rain and reconcile your pain,
Pick yourself up, no need to feel blue,

Go learn a language or get a new hairdo,
Learn how to sew or start Kung Fu!
You can change your life, if you want to,

You deserve a second chance, we all do,
From mistakes we learn and grow,
Pick yourself up, no need to feel blue,

Take a new class, ride in a canoe,
Go wherever life takes, trust me,
You can change your life, if you want to,
Pick yourself up, no need to feel blue!

i can't run if i don't have the energy
it's no fun if you straight up just answer me
i'd thank you but i know that you won't notice me
so thank god for me, thank god for me
i can't lie if i don't know what's my truth
i can't try if i don't have something to prove
i'll win but i know i still have something to lose
so thank god for me, thank god for me
loosely inspired by this song i was listening to. i guess i looped back around to doing that.
