About Me

You can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
... the sun kisses me even on the darkest of days / and i try never to let that feeling fade / the world was made in seven days it will be a long time before it ends / i want to make amends with all the people who i sent from me / listen to the sea and breathe make me feel free / until the dirt collects on the window sills i see that nothing can ever be clean / everything i've seen has a layer of dirt clouding it's sheen
...so sad to see all i had and all i have / and when i look around i know it will never be the same / can't tame the world can't label it with tape / it's always changing it's shape / a growing organism / listen to all criticism with a grain of salt and a train of thought / try not to get attached to things i've bought / they're just things you know / and as I grow i learn to go with the flow and let things go
....can't control the world / have to let it unfold like origami on rewind / find time to help people especially when you're at rock bottom / mines are the best places to find diamonds and gems / when good things happen i say amen and thank god for all the roses with the thorns on their stems / can't keep up with the race of society / slow down cuz winnings not my first priority / plant a seed and slowly it grows / careful not to mow it down and someday it will make a crown of flowers / the beauty will shadow these cowards / and inspire them to build their own towers and not to knock others down...
