And yet again, I make a mistake. This isn't what I want either...

Once upon a time...

I was somebody.
I was everything.
I had meaning.

Life happened, and I lost all,
I was left with dust and a frown.
As time flied by, perspectives shifted,
I became the crystal, yet, I was not content...

I don't know why.

I don't know what this is.

I don't know what that was.

I don't know what it will be.

My role will be the same.

My role does rarely change.

I am but the answer to everybody's quiz.

Time flies by too quickly...

Another year, another day,
Opening your eyes again and again.
It will always be the same,
But will never be the same.

Every choice is a mistake,
Every problem is the solution,
But one thing that is clear as sky,
Is the loss of will and fire...

As days pass by, you start to think exactly what it is that you want. If this is not it, then what is?

Happiness is a choice, it comes from within, yet, people try to convince you, it's the other way.

No sky will be bright without the stars,
But no stars will be visible without the dark, indigo sky...

Your eyes will drift away,
You mind will wander away,
But time won't wait for you.

You can't speak without a tongue,
But the tongue can speak without a mind.

Sit there...

On your own...

Take a deep breath...

Enjoy the news...

Remember the old days...

Dream of going back...

People knew who you were.
They just left you alone out of respect.

Everybody is the same everywhere you go.
Nobody will ever change, not until said so.
It's the outer world that makes everybody weak.
Take a peek inside of you, no one else should guide you.

They don't know enough to teach.
Yet, they go ahead and talk.
They undermine your knowledge,
And make a fool out of themselves.
Who are they, but, to decide
Who's in the right and who's in the wrong?
Simple beings, black and white,
Clueless of the big morales...

They say perfection is impossible,
So they give up, so satisfied.
Why not reach for the best that's reachable?
Why not try to improve our knowledge?
Alas, all we care about is fun,
We never wonder about the darkness.

Who is content and why?
Who is satisfied and why?
Who thinks it's enough and why?

...

Just why?

I don't settle for mediocrity.
I don't want an average life.
I don't need an easy route.
I will take the challenging path.

"Normality is a paved road: It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it".

Avoid responsibilities like the plague, it'll give you temporary rest.
Take on responsibilities, and it'll give you permanent rest.

When you look out of your window and see some trees,
Some beautiful flowers, birds and leaves,
You stop and admire the beauty,
But do you ever think of the creator?

Time will bear your soul with it.
Be thankful.

You might think days aren't passing by,
But what if it's your last day?
Would you want it to just pass by?

Again and again, we appear and disappear,
What stays forever and after is the traces we've left.
Cross your arms and sit on your couch,
Keep on watching TV,
The only thing you'll be remembered for
Is your laziness and sleep.

Work hard to reach your goals,
Don't you accept easiness.
Aim for the highest, shoot for the best,
Hope it'll hit the probable chest.

Don't carry the world on your back,
There is Hercules for that.
Instead, carry your world on your shoulders,
And try to nurture and beautify it.

Beauty is what has meaning.
Beauty is something that has a story.
Beauty is something that hurts.
Beauty is something that wants.
Beauty is something that reminds.
Beauty is something that works.
Beauty is something that tries.
Beauty is something that fails.
Beauty is anything that stands back up.

Wipe your tears away.
No need to cry.
This is just a day.
It'll fly away.
Stand and look up high.
Notice the bright blue sky.
There is always tomorrow.
Go ahead and try.

When they throw stones at you to hurt you,
Take it as a message to rock on.
When life throws you hardships and challenges,
Take it as a message, that you're strong enough to win.

Why would life give you problems you can't solve?

Any problem you can't solve is a solution.

Show people how great you are,
Not by bribing and concealing,
But by working and achieving.

Yet, do not forget, you are not your goals.
You can fail and fall,
You can win and lose.
It's your choice, to be happy or sad,
To be content or not.
You decide.

Hurricanes will pull you in,
You will twirl around and around,
But it is your choice,
To let it affect your mind.

Perhaps the greatest gift is time.
Nourish it, take care of it.
This moment you're using to surf?
Others are inventing and changing the world.

Even when you shut your eyes and never open them again,
You are who you always were,
Not what mourners say you are.
People define you by works,
But it's traits that burn the brightest.

So polish your traits, they become so bright,
People will start defining you by them.

Lastly, it's what you do that counts,
Not what you say that does.
