My heart aches,
You say everyone has an issue with me.
My fear all along and now I know.
Maybe I am not meant to have friends.
Maybe I am better off on my own.
Maybe you’re lying. But maybe you’re not.
Maybe they all hate me.
Maybe I am everything you say
Maybe everyone will be better if I disappear.
Everything must come to an end.
No matter how much work has been done.
No matter how much time has been given.
Everything must come to an end.
Sadness envelopes me as it ends.
A chapter of my life, which has gotten me through so many challenging times.
All of my work is gone in an instant.
Friendships, stories, development gone.
Where do we go from here, and how do I overcome this crushing defeat?
All things end, but I wish they didn’t have to.
I look at you, and I see Penny.
I hug you and imagine it’s her.
I know this is wrong, but I miss her so much.
I know she would want me to love another dog.
I know she wants me to adopt more and love more.
It’s not fair to you to compare you to her.
My Penny is gone and my Harper is here.
I am sorry my dear, I love you too.
Saying goodbye is always so hard.
Some might say I’m mean.
Some might say I’m loud.
People will say anything to hurt you.
They will make you question who you are,
And what you stand for.
They say you’re the mean one.
You might be loud and yell.
You might scream and curse,
But sometimes you need to.
You need to yell, scream, fight!
You need to be loud!
They may think you are being mean, but who cares!
When people are bullied, tormented, and wronged.
You have to stand up!
You have to give them a voice when they have none.
You have to yell, scream, and fight!
You have to stand up!
You have to give them a voice when they have none.
One night, two people.
Calling me names, blasting me to others.
Some say it doesn’t matter.
I should forget it and move on.
It’s their loss and blah blah blah…
Bullshit!
Why does it hurt so badly if all these other people say it shouldn’t.
Why am I the target? Am I weak?
Why is it so hard to walk away? Why do I want to keep talking?
And why do I get so angry? Why am I so hurt?
Each morning the sun comes up.
A new blessing to the world.
Each day, a new beginning.
A joyous day to start a new
New promises, a chance to change.
Be a better person.
Make a difference in your life.
Make a difference in someone else’s life.
Each morning the sun comes up.
A new blessing to the world.
You are the star shining bright.
Bring this light into the world.
It’s imperative to know how important you are.
Many people think they are important, they put themselves on pedestals.
You think you can count on certain people, but in the end, you can’t.
Sometimes the harsh reality hits you, and you realize how insignificant you are.
Or that you don’t matter to the people who matter to you.
The people you thought you can count on, the people that can count on you.
That foundation you built, comes falling down.
It’s important to know where you stand, but….
It hurts like hell… It hurts like hell.
