Nothing & No One

Leave a comment

I don’t owe you a thing
You may think you deserve the world
But you haven’t done anything to earn it
You’ve sat around waiting for things to happen
Hoping and praying for miracles
Believing that the world revolves around you
Expecting that people will bend over backwards for you
Acting like you’re owed favors

But you are nothing, you are no one
Just another individual pawn in the game of life
Nothing special, no different than anyone else
Just another arrogant soul overvaluing your worth
Just another entitled child expecting handouts
Wanting greatness in life but unwilling to work for it
Expecting blessings but not putting the time in
You want things easy, but there’s no such thing as an easy life

Babied all your life, expecting someone to hold your hand
I know your type, I know your ways
I don’t owe you a thing
I won’t give you what you want
Nothing comes free in life, so I won’t give you anything
You are nothing and no one
No one and nothing
You want what I’ve worked for and I won’t let you win

No Longer

Leave a comment

You were once my hero
You were once a saint
Worshipped by the people
No harder worker than you
Revered and exalted
Lifted on high

You were once our hero
No better role model for the younger generation
Venerated and worshipped
Crème de la crème
But those days are gone
Those days are over

You are not my hero
You are not my saint
You were once my everything
Who I modeled myself after
Who I wanted to be
You are now my nothing
And I don’t know what they see
Not a shining example to follow
Not who I want to be

The fame went to your head
The success made you arrogant
The quality of work dropped
But you were too blind to see
Refusing to acquiesce to anything 
But your desired to pump content
Your desire to bloat your catalog

You were once my hero
You were once my saint
But you are nothing
No longer anything to me

You were once my hero
And that’s all you’ll ever be
Someone I looked up to once before
But never again
Someone I modeled my life after
But no longer
A has been, an also-ran, washed up

No longer a paragon, no longer the ideal
I’ve outgrown my need for you
You’ve outgrown your use
You may influence other youth
But for me, I will find a different truth

In Awe of You

Leave a comment

I’m starstruck
Love stricken
In awe of you
Someone to rely on when times are blue
Without you I wouldn’t know what to do
I’m in awe of you

We’re star-crossed
Fated to be together
Destined for each other
Better together, forever and ever
No match better, promised to be
Always gonna be you and me

No one will come between us
Nothing will push us apart
We’re in it for the long haul
With you til the end
Was and is and forever will be my best friend
I’m in awe of you

I’ve seen beauty before
But no one so beautiful
Mind, body & soul
We make each other whole
You are mine and I am yours
Forever I stand in awe of you

I stand in awe of you
You push me to heights I never thought I would see
Greatness radiates from your body
Inspiring each other to be the best we can be
Striving for greatness makes the most of our ability
I stand in awe of you for it is you who completes me

On My Lonesome

Leave a comment

Sometimes it’s better to be alone
Stuck with nowhere to go
No one to see, nowhere to be
Life is full of disappointments
But there is so much to see

A whole world is out there
Waiting to be touched
Waiting to be smelled
Waiting to be heard
Waiting to be seen

Sometimes I don’t know what comes over me
People suck, that is reality
It’s hard to ignore
Social interaction is draining
It’s overrated, is it a fallacy?

Sometimes it’s better to be alone
No one to impress other than me
No facade is necessary
Me, just me, only me
As real as I can be

Some people just don’t understand
What it’s like to be me
It’s safer to be alone
Safer on my own
Alone but not lonely
On my own but not alone

One day we will understand
Who we are, and where we stand
Love for oneself goes a long way
I was lost, but have been found
(Found) who I was and what I was meant to do
One day I hope that you will too

Separate yourself from others and from expectation
It takes being alone to find yourself
Alone is not so bad
Quiet the voices in your head
So many people chattering around you
But there’s only one voice that matters

Find who you are, find your purpose
Self-discovery and self-love
Self-confidence and self-assurance
On your lonesome for a short time
Find who you’re meant to be
Find what you’re meant to do
Know yourself, be yourself, love yourself
And all things will come together in the end

Around the Sun

Leave a comment

I’m not old, but I feel old
It feels like my life is ending
Thirty-one trips around the sun
It feels like forever, but it’s only just begun
No longer young, but not quite old
Before my eyes, life unfolds
Things come together, things fall apart
Life goes on, the wheel turns, time moves forward

I’m not old, but I feel old
Thirty-one trips around the sun
I’ve been around for quite some time
Putzing through, muddling along
Mediocrity at its finest
Wasting time, burning time
A life squandered, a life wasted

Life hits you hard and fast
Put up or shut up
Do or die
When life gets tough you grow up and you show up
Father Time waits for no man
Undefeated til the end

Put up a fight, do what’s right
Destiny awaits, be one of the greats
Thirty-one trips around the sun
I feel old, but I’m not old
My life has only just begun
Fate beckons, destiny awaits
Make an impact, be great

Put up or shut up
Do or die
All talk, no action
Less talk, more action
I’m not young, I’m not old
I’m right where I need to be
I’m where I belong

Thirty-one trips around the sun
Most of it wasted, most of it dumb
But I know what needs to be done
Destiny awaits, fate beckons
Dream big, dream bold
It’s there for the taking
Reach for the stars
Not too young, not too old
It’s the right time to make an impact
Reach up, reach out
Dare for more, dare for better
Not too young, not too old
Around the sun again we go
