It's all I give to people it seems
It's what I am here for you all
To give help and assistance
But nothing in return for me
I need help, but it doesn't matter
I don't need any assistance
I can handle these myself
Well, that's what I say to people
In reality, I can't handle it at all
I need help with a lot of things
There's finding a relationship
Also there's finding happiness
And who can forget about school
But it's alright, it's why I'm here
To assist all in this world today
Getting nothing in return tomorrow

It will be alright there
Just cheer up buttercup
I know these scars hurt
Bringing back memories
But the past makes you
Becomes who you are now
Without it, you are nothing
And to someone here today
You are their everything
Just remember that
You are now confused
No knowing what to do
In an unnatural situation
Thinking about someone
But just go with the flow
If he likes you, then he does
If not, it's not the end of the world
There are plenty of fish in the sea
You find the right guy eventually
Just keep your chin high buttercup
Put that smile back on your face
Prove that you are proud of yourself
You don't let the past hold you back
Don't let others take you down
If he doesn't like you, it's okay
You're still beautiful to someone
And just remember to be happy
And just stay yourself

One must be grateful with what they have
Some out there are not as fortunate as you
We often take our simple lives for granted
While others struggle to find themselves
We must be grateful for the food we have
As there are some that struggle to survive
We must be grateful for the roof above us
As some sleep in the harshest of conditions
We must be grateful for the clothes we have
As some freeze due to lack of their clothing
We must be grateful for our transportation
As some walk all day to their destination
Lastly, we must be grateful to simply live
There is going to be someone out there
That is struggling more that you are now
No matter how difficult you think life is
It is harder for someone else in this world
You're not the homeless man with no food
He has to dig through your trash cans
To find the food you waste every day
You're not the child dying in the hospital
To a disease that affects one in a million
Wishing your tax dollars can save his life
But you're too stubborn with your money
We need to be grateful with what we have
As there is always someone out there today
Struggling to survive throughout the day
While we "struggle" with pointless issues
I really hate when people complain about these stupid issues. Just be grateful with what you have! Seriously! And with Thanksgiving right around the corner, couldn't be a better time to write this

All I see is darkness around me
And the red from my alarm clock
Hearing Breaking Benjamin in my ear
I lie here wondering, am I really happy?
The simple answer to that question: no
I may appear happy to some people
But they just see the shell of my life
Those that see the inside, they know
But there isn't anyone that truly knows
Some know most, but no one knows all
I plaster this smile on my face like a clown
It's fake, there's no way around that fact
I'm searching for pure happiness though
I am just struggling to find it's source
I have been searching, to find nothing yet
Maybe sometime in life, I'll be truly happy
Where I enjoy waking up each morning
Where I enjoy doing my daily routine
Where I enjoy the people around me
But right now, I tolerate my situations
As I still am searching for true happiness
Meh, not the best

This new young generation
Running every new nation
Creating new modern laws
And showing modern flaws
Here is my honest opinion
Made by my own decision
This generation is a wreck
Like, really, what the heck
People think slacking works
Or it is okay to bully the dorks
Pregnancy at a young age is right
It is okay to have *** every night
This generation is so wrong
I feel like I do not belong
I don't drink or smoke anything
I don't treat people like nothing
This generation is thrown away
I'm just waiting for the break of day
I feel like I do not belong in the present
But in the yesterday far in the distance
There are people like me out there
I just want to leave, I do not care
I want to leave this insane generation
And create my own new delegation

It can be to another human being
Or to an animal with little meaning
It can be as simple as sight seeing
Or as complex as mountain skiing
One can love an object in their hand
Or a group or an activity like a band
One can request love or be a demand
But to find true love is truly grand
You may think you some someone
Until the inevitable becomes undone
And you now sit there holding a gun
But it will soon get better my son
One can not dwell on the distant past
Or dream about the near future at last
One must live during the present blast
Or else their end will come quite fast
Love can be the beginning or the end
Of a life one must be able to defend
Here is one simple trick I recommend
Don't fall too deep, or life will be a lend
Another added on to " One Word Can Bring Back a Thousand Memories"

Looking off into the sunset
Dreaming about my Juliet
Someone I may have met
Or maybe it's not time yet
I stare off into the distance
Thinking of her existence
Thinking quite so intense
Painful, so I slightly wince
My heart feels so alone
Aching like a broken bone
I let out a very faint moan
As I look down at my phone
No one there at my side
And I must now decide
Do I remain alone and hide
Or leave loneliness behind
I'm wanting to create a possible series, "One Word Can Bring Back a Thousand Memories" and this is the first of an unknown amount.
