I'll admit I wanted to be saved
I wanted someone...
something to save me
But the pride I held onto
was so damn suffocating.
Self righteousness pinned me to the ground
and I watched as you decided to move on
Was it too much to ask of you?
To suffer along side with me
To be the one person who wouldn't leave...
a damaged person like me
I guess it was too much of a selfish request
Who am I to ask of something like so?
But then again,
Who were you ask me...
to move on.
When all I've ever know was right here.
Right here.

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.
