Keep Your Head Up

Lately I've felt that the sun just doesn't shine so bright
'Cause recently I haven't been able to see its light
I saw a glimpse, but it was quickly choked by the shadows
And my smile quickly gone, choked by the sorrows
Fighting back the tears so I don't drown in its puddles
The pain comes quick, no longer so subtle
My scars bleed out and my soul screams out
Suffocating in all this doubt
I used to be glass half full, but now it's feeling so empty
Don't know whats gotten into me
I used to be all smiles, bow I don't even know what a smile is
And, honestly, I'm kind of over all this shit
I try to hide it, but I feel it creeping out
And soon enough I won't be able to block it out
I have a civil war going on inside
And the demons seem to be the only ones that haven't died
I need to find the positivity of the day
Someone told me she's blessed 'cause she's got 2 arms and 2 legs
Damn, I needed to hear that about now
'Cause I've been feeling so stressed out
Be thankful for one more breath
Soon these demons will face their death
Soon the sun will shine so bright
Block out the shadows and fill your life back up with light
Keep your head up, I just have to keep my head up
Don't give up, I just need to keep my head up

Love Drunk

I'm drunk off your love

Hungover from your hips

Got that ache in my heart

And tingle on my lips 

That scent in the air

Reminds me you were here

My heart still beating fast

As the love beats clear

My mind goes back

To the first time

Love is a battle

But it sure as hell was worth the climb

And all the skipped beats

From when I saw your face

And each time

You stopped me in my place

The lost breath

And the sleepless nights

The loving talks 

And the brutal fights

The memories we made

They will never fade

But you left out the front door

Said you couldn't stay

No, not tonight

No, not ever

So now I try to sober up

But I'll be hungover forever

Follow it. Pursue it. Chase it.

It doesn't matter how crazy,
It doesn't matter how wild your dream is.
Follow it.
Pursue it.
Chase it.
Pour your heart, mind, and soul into it.
Turn the doubts and wonders into actions.
Don't ask "what if?"
But rather answer it.
Ignore the hate and criticism being yelled in your ear.
Instead listen closer to the whispers of encouragement.
And turn those whispers of support into cheers.
Soon enough those cheers will hush the boos.
Soon enough your dreams will be more than just dreams.
Soon enough your reality will be greater than you ever perceived.
But not until you take your dream and follow it.
Pursue it.
Chase it.
Pour your heart, mind, and soul into it.
