Not to be Wasted
Throw me in the sea,
Bottle me up and watch me wash away,
So easily discarded consistently,
An answer to the madness?
Think not, fate plays its evil games,
Remind a heart to avoid being vulnerable,
So twisted and haunted a figure could be,
Do not bring hope down,
Everything has a purpose,
Use the pain to push on forward,
As consistent as it seems,
Mother Earth has her reasons,
As unfair as the world can be,
It tries to teach us a lesson.
It’s about time we take our step in the right direction,
No more looking back at false hopes and dreams,
No more sitting and expecting something to happen,
It’s in your soul to bring forth happiness,
Do not lower your guard but be shielded,
Rats they’ll try to chew away at you,
Remove half your eggs from a basket,
Commit them to you, and only you,
Do not be selfish,
Do not be fooled,
Do not praise a deluded soul,
Raise head up to the skies,
And look beyond the walls that stand in front of you.
