Just Hang On...

in

The sun has left and forgotten me It's dark, I cannot see Why does this rain pour down I'm gonna drown In a sea Of deep confusion

Somebody told me, I don't know who Whenever you are sad and blue And you're feelin' all alone and left behind Just take a look inside and you will find

You gotta hold on, hold on through the night Hang on, things will be all right Even when it's dark And not a bit of sparkling Sing-song sunshine from above Spreading rays of sunny love

Just hang on, hang on to the vine Stay on, soon you'll be divine If you start to cry, look up to the sky Something's coming up ahead To turn your tears to dew instead

And so I hold on to his advice When change is hard and not so nice You listen to your heart the whole night through Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you...

Poppin' A Wheelie

in

Tenacity over excuses. Passion over pretense. Love over lethargy. You are strong beyond measure... and though you may break, though you may falter, you may fall and flounder, you can never fail, for your heart remains invincible. Never quit. Get up. Get UP. GET UP!

~ Scott Sonnon

Keep Still Your Resolve (And Don't Be An Idiot)

in

Don't forget what's within you. Do what you need to do in order to collect yourself, To gather your strength, To stoke the fierce fires in your depths. And once you've remembered it, Embrace it And consume it And let yourself be consumed by it.

Then, don't you dare surrender it To the mindless To the selfish To the stone-hearted, ugly fools Who think that strength Resides in brute force, Who think that ferocious intolerance And an aggressive character Constructs a backbone Worth standing upright for...

They mistake kindness for weakness.

So, don't you dare Give way to these sleeping barbarians. Do not misplace Your best Your understanding Your wisdom, Your LOVE, To the vagrants of greed To the keepers of ignorance To the nomadic devolved Stumbling blind in their parched desert.

Keep your bright eyes from your noble boat Piercing that darkness Knowing that while your vessel may not Reach the shore While you're at the helm, It will Eventually make landfall As you keep your bearing. And the rest of the crew will step foot On the good earth And be home...

Because YOU lived.
