Letting Go

I cannot live this way

being restricted in every possible way

I cant just have you tell me no

When I just want to run away and go

You cant tell me what to do anymore

and you cant come running to my door

I am no longer under your possessive hold

and under your shadow so cold

you cannot make my life a mess

because I am not like the rest

I can fight you and not let you win

and so here is where it will begin

from here on you are not a piece of me

and I will show who I can be

I will conquer the rough days that cross my path

and I shall never feel your agonizing wrath

I am going to be strong and fearless in the sight of you

and about this there is nothing you can do

I am letting go of you today

so now you can be on your way

The Happy Mind

The happy mind

is most gentle and kind

with knowledge and grace

no one it can disgrace

it shows the most helping hand

and makes the person feel grand

a certain cheer fills the air

and everyone stops and stares

while the happy person goes around

unaffected by the loudest of sounds

doing good and seeking joy

is something no one can destroy

the happy mind is the healthiest of all

and no deed is too large or too small

we forget to nurture this set of mind

and instead we wrap it in a tight bind

remember to share the joy within your heart

because a reaction it will start

Human Nature

Although we always want to walk in our own ways

some of the characters of being a human stays

the natural gift of loving one another

and being kind and gentle to each other

do we really think that we were made to cause pain?

or to be careless and vain

we were made to make some of the greatest of things

and to make sure love and happiness our life brings

many people want to seem unhappy and dark

even though inside is a growing spark

the want to do something good and right

and making peace the greatest might

do not try to hide your good morals

because in doing so you will only create quarrels

Leaving

I stare at the ones I love as I say goodbye

my sister I am hugging while trying not to cry

although I know I am going to place that is good

I still feel like leaving here is something I never should

I say goodbye to my friends

and with the ones who are not I try to make amends

why is it that we see how people think of us

only when we are about to leave on a bus

I realized I have made an impact on more than I can count

even when I thought it was a minimal amount

I hope that where I am going I can fulfill my dreams

but leaving is harder than it seems

I must be strong

on this journey so long

but with a helping hand

I know that it will be one that is grand
