You Can't Make Everybody Happy
Surrender doesn't always come easy sometimes the battle wants more A balancing act tween' vexed and appeasing * Sometimes the choice needs upheaving

Sun
Intoxicating. You're a fireball in the cosmos. A firecracker come to life. The earth revolves around you but I will not. Drama queen with all your theatricality. You're always on the stage even when there is no play. A thundering inferno, I know these antics so well. I've immortalized you with a melody of the gods. You tell me it's no good. Mere mortals are not on your level. I am captivated. I worship at the altar of a narcissist. I wouldn't dare harm your pride. I apologize for the insincerity. I hope Andromeda swallows you whole so we can be rid of you one and for all. It's a shame the universe will kill you before I ever do

creativity eludes me, illusive as a cryptid a mind depleted and empty ideas leaving my head, restricted * the ability to make rhyme, has my mind feeling conflicted

H.A.T.E.. Content Warning.
What happens when animosity and pain marries? It becomes difficult to divorce anger. You become infuriated and influenced by disenchanted souls throughout your life’s journey.

Don't separate me from the present I need now, to be here now With every moment never passing out Giving memories to one another to be only nostalgic

Burn burn to ashes the parts you don't need Write write on paper the parts you don't need Your anger, your anxiety your mistakes, your regrets
