The Light Beyond The Screens
Our entire world is a distraction from who we are and who we're meant to be
Down we all fall
Into a world that seems much too small
Sensing the life beyond the glass before our eyes
Trying to not allow these screens to send us to our demise
Running along a field is what my feet long to feel
Achieving this simple act just doesn't feel real when I'm
Crying for a break from the jealousy and pain
Trying to see my inner light but I just can't look away
I only see comparison to the people on the screens
Only wish I would notice my own individuality, and
Never again be distracted by comparison and longing

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

Playing Musical Chairs
Many of us can relate to the childhood game of musical chairs. The objective of the game is to find a seat among the chairs laid out in the room before the music finishes. The loser of the game is left standing and excluded from other rounds of the game.
