If I have a choice to be happy
 at every chance I get
                        why do I always pick to be sad?
Victoria Nov 2017
I'll start by say that some people think life is goes by fast, but they are wrong life is the longest thing we go through. As for how I feel about it, life if what you make it, if you're searching for some sort of meaning behind it, I feel like you're living life wrong. The only thing you need to search for is happiness, that doesn't mean there won't be bad, there will be a lot of bad, but the bad doesn't out weigh the good and the good doesn't necessarily trump the bad. With out either though, what is life? So, to me life is experiencing moments you'll never forget and being happy you even are here to do that.

I'd pick your storm
I'd pick your rain
Over anyone's sunshine
Any day
Not mine. But, this is the reminder that I always be there for you

give me skin dried like leather
a tan burned into well-used bones
who creak predictions of bad weather

deep laughter lines that hide groans
and a smile that never sours
give me a back that aches
as I bend down to pick flowers

give me crinkled eyes that shine
when I look at your face
Old Age, treat me with grace

His biggest mistake is that he loved
his greatest choice is that he loved
Lunar Aug 2017
he strums
the steel strings
of his guitar
akin to the strings
of my heart
     that I wear on my sleeve

he echoes
quiet unspoken
memories
through a
loud medley of
melodies
     that his heart and soul bleed

so in time
for him
I'll voice and play
to reach out
and give back
to him someday
     like how he reached out to me
For Meg,
and how she wants to reach Day6/Jae
through her guitar.

she plays so well! check her guitar covers out: @everyjae on twt :)

What does it cost-for a penny for your thoughts?
In the worldly person's view-

What is a penny-but a way to tell, for sure, the amount
and cost of things, not always understood right away.

I see a penny on the floor-and I never pick it up-no
not anymore.

It would just be another crumb to add to my pocket-book-
another way of telling how much more I have to spend on just
a little nook.

Let another worldly dweller pick it up, and then they can tell,
for sure, how much they have to pay for things.

They would always have a need for it, more than me now.

I could always add a penny, when I take too much of my time
taking a penny!

You never showed
You let me go
You had to pick
I wasn’t it
Can’t live two lives?
Why not mine?

That a hero is never a hero,

before

he faces a downfall,
and learns to pick himself up.
Picking up lessons along the way..
