A Message to All


Want to hear something simple?

Well, here goes,

If you love something

And it isn't yours

Let it go.

If you love something

And it is yours

Keep it forever and treasure it.

You'd think thats simple

But I promise you 

It isn't. 

To some people 

You might as well be telling a dog not to howl

Or a cat not to meow

And it's a real kind of hell

When you're under such a spell

Of thinking what you want should be yours so

Taking someone else's stuff doesn't make you a.

Stop,

Wait,

Backtrack on that one

I should have been done

The minute I told you that simple thing

But ever since my minds been going ping,ping, ping

Like a pin-ball machine 

And I think I might just go to some extreme

And explode. 

So please, don't be a hoe.
