Listen to me


Listen to me 
As I cry your name
Tears falling down my face
As you hide your face in shame
Step up to the plate
Pick the bat back up
Don’t think about saying
That its never not enough
Look up
And wipe your eyes
Im here in front of you
Muddle your cries
Turn away
From the demons that haunt you
Look forward to the goal
That teases and taunts you
Listen up bub, 
My words are slipping away
But just to let you know, 
One day itll be okay

I have many hobbies, being a very artsy person, singing, dancing, painting, drawing, writing, and cooking are a few of my specialties as well as having a habit of caring a little too much about those that surround me, but "a smile a day keeps the demons away", right? ..."A smile a day shows them it'll be okay"?..."A smile a day shows them the way"? something like that... one of those should be it... I tend to be optimistic but everybody has their down days, "it rains to those that deserve the sun the most, but one must keep in mind that there is always a rainbow, even if your umbrella is blocking the way..."
