Trials

It's taken me far too long to finally have the ambition to better myself
Sure, I have drive, passion, and ambition that people see and I don't
I now see what the world (I presume) sees in me
I don't know if they are right, and I've been ignorant this whole time
Or if what I see is the truth, the real side of me nobody knows
But they see it. They have to.

If I could die right now, be reborn, and come back as something different
Perhaps, an animal...
Maybe if the entire human race did such a thing,
Maybe we could learn appreciation
Be who we are, and not live in our greedy, selfish human nature ways
Maybe we were better off as primates as opposed to being human

Today I saw two bums fight, one pepper sprayed the other
I had no idea where to stand in the situation
I also so my dear friend's baby, my goddaughter, but only in pictures
I wanted to be there as it happened

If I can give just one person advice in life it would be as follows:

Don't fuck up the one thing you have going, whether it be a friend, an enemy, a love, a life...We spend too much time it seems trying to forget memories. They are memories for a reason. Hold them close, and always keep your pride higher than your chin.
