When it falls

I ask you to listen a moment
this isn't easy for me
I suggest you take a seat and get comfy
I don't want to take too long to explain
but the words don't fall easy
my chest feels tight as I keep it all inside
I don't want to let it out just yet
for you all to see


I wont waste your time here, you'll be glad you listened
that you took the time out here today
When it falls we cant hide it any more
we cant shelter when we have nothing in sight
the lot just hits us and sends us swimming away in the flow
slipped and fallen and not having a moment to catch your breath


Family is so precious
taken for granted all too often
arguments over nothings 
not realising the what ifs
the anger, the hurt, the pain
the missing and the lonely
family to me is everything
but when it falls away
and you aren't speaking 
and you cant stop falling
and its getting dark
and your crying
but they don't know
they aren't even there


Arguments over nothings
that become some things
that destroy everything
that take away the love
that hold onto the grudge
to be let down
to just think its all okay to be this way
if only they knew how they affected others
how they hurt and push it so deep
and how I am sat picking up the pieces so it seems
I want them to just be how they were
how we all were



I ask you to listen a moment
this isn't easy for me
I suggest you take a seat and get comfy
I dont want to take too long to explain
but the words dont fall easy
I want everyone to be talking
everyone to be respectful
to know how its been taken away before
how we have so little grandparents left
that is all I wanted to say today


Never wish your life away... its just too precious... 

Need to stop and remember

It wasn't the last straw really,
It just felt like it, 
Like it often does when you forget to blow off some steam


That if you allow it too, life will control you
You need to always remember you are driving it
You need to control life
Control what you do
Never blame the other or the weather or the drink
Never blame the situation or the lack of sleep or the mood swing
Accept every misfortune as a result of bad decisions
Of bad steering, of letting life control you




Such a young age and such a broad opinion of the world I am in
Such a small time but such honest opinions 
I don't believe too much in mistakes
I believe in trying and trying until there is no try left
Until the hands are bleeding from all the work 
Until your brain is as dry as the sand and there's nothing left to create
Until the time is almost going backwards and your time is up




I never thought I had it in me until tonight
I was at my gym and I was ready to back up and let life control me
But I figured I would push for more
I believed my body had more to give
And it did, it made me proud it was capable
I made me proud I was capable


Which is where I will leave tonight's little thought
I will pop off to bed in a short while and sleep off the day my body has carried me through 
And I will stop and remember that I am lucky enough to be here
The news shouts at you about the way things are for some and others and you and it makes you stop and think 
Stop and think
Stop and think and think some more


Each day will be what you want from it
It will rain if you let it
It will be warm and sunny if you make it
You will smile if you chose to and you will cry if you don't prevent it


Shoulda' Woulda' Coulda'... Last words of a fool...
Remember that!!!


Go out get it grab it with both hands and don't let it go until the blood is pouring down your arm, 
Work hard and life will do the rest :)
