The days keep passing
The earth keeps spinning
And I can’t seem to
Just slow down
So many aspirations
And ambitions
And ways
To make the world a better place
But they are trapped
In my mind
Intentions are good
But not intentional
The sky is crying
And so is my soul
Cause I can’t fix the problems
Of all I hold close
But I am helping almost strangers
And even though I point to all the signs
You don’t realize the danger
of complacency
self condemnation
Meditation but on the wrong things
have to replace the
negativity
with some hope that is real
hoping in time
hope is what you will feel
wish i could do it for you
I tried , I tried, I tried
but i can not
sitting here
cheering you on
letting you know
you are not alone
keep pressing on
i know you don’t even have the strength
for just one step
so just promise me
to take one more breath
and then another
and again
cause it will get better
in time i know
but til it does
just hold on
sky is crying
and so is my soul
I wish I had the salve
for all the troubled souls
i do not but I know where it is
but here is the funny thing about medicine
you can prescribe it, buy it, sit it out
but you can’t make them ingest it
praying til
you see the hope that is real
and until you feel the truth of who you are
just look up at the stars
their Maker made you
you shine like that too
you can’t see it
but you are too close
a bigger piture
a different view
we all see it
through and through
gonna keep affirming it
til someday you do too
