growing up

a couple of couple tees i held so dearly
the photobox pictures so old the colors faded
a pile of beads bracelets left untouched
and memories so many it's hard to dismiss

give and take
the value everyone is holding on now
give and take
the value i was clueless of

all i ever know is to give
to give even though i'm running out
to give even though there's nothing left to give
to give to you who is overflowing

i gave you
you took from me
i give you
but now i'm free

Maybe we would all be better if we face ourselves head-on. Yes, ourselves. No bigger obstacle than dealing with something you call 'myself'. No bigger energy wasted than to lie to someone you call 'myself'.  The hardest thing to be in touch with, in life, is your own self and all its substances. You live in a world where it's much simpler to ignore your thoughts and feelings for the sake of your emotional stability. Or so you thought. But just so you know. It...
