Im living in the shadow of myself
No one will let me go
Chains always holding me down
Why do you feel the need
To push me all the way to the ground
Where im doubting everything in sight
you pile on the lies
But then turn the blame on to me
i try to move past my flaws i see
But its hard with your mirror so close to me
Every time i make a mistake
You want other to change
But we say its her being her
Isnt that the problem
Just letting people get alway with being them
Even if its wrong
Even if it hurts those around
I guess thats whats wrong with us
Being human
We let those run over us
Even the ones we hold close
The ones we called family
Are we just suppose to cut
Just cut all ties with everyone
Or we supposed to let her be her

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
