What Difference Do My Decisions Make To The People Around Me?



our lives are not our own.

for every decision we make
there are people we affect.

some wonder,
"should i do that too?"

others will laugh with you
or cry with you
depending on the
weight of your decisions
and which direction
that weight is headed.

Is There Anyone I Can Hold On To?



no matter what or who
or how or why
there will always be someone
right there with you
making sure you don't drown.
even in these high waters.

all you have to do
is call out for help.

the sky you see is really

How do I get out of here?



when something blocks the way
to living your life
you must break free from it
and never once think
that you made the wrong choice.

Why Doesn't Anyone Care About the Earth?



because we can't let go.

we will one day
when the tables turn
and the earth forces us
to let go of everything
that we think is necessary.

be patient.
it will be soon.

Why Can't I Let Go?



you have to move on from the things that are bad for you
even if it means letting the good go with them.

then again, some things are never meant to leave.
