Strife of the Good Life

by Iamjustme

May 14, 2016

Blue eyes staring intently through/ I stare back at you/ I know your love is pure and true/ So corrupt without a care/

Your love is like a dare/

You have the heart of a child/

However your temperament is very mild/

And you thoughts run you wild/

Not tame/

Still there is no shame/

You refuse to be the same/

I am running through a beautiful field/

However I do not stop to yield/

My eyes fixed straight ahead/

There are so many unspoken words said/

A galaxy so far away/

To get to the destination we only stay/

The answer is clear and true/

I really do love you/

The teacher asks the child/

The thoughts run wild/

Is this okay/

Is the answer to stay/

It all seems right/

Nothing is uptight/

You need to resist temptations/

They are the mere things that ruin nations/

Dark brown hair glistens in the sun/

You are the only one/

How do act?/

What do I do?/

The only one I see is you/

There is no doubt/

There is no need to pout/

Everyday new sun flowers sprout/

Children walk about/

Over and Over/

Day by day/

The same things come to play/

Everything is amazing/

As I sit here gazing, /

I see all of the potential around me/

Yet, if I fall I may not be able to call all this back/

It would not be like reorganizing a stack/

There are so many choices/

There are so many voices/

Still you have to give things a chance/

Especially if you want to see is they could advance/

You are not guaranteed tomorrow /

So do not waste it living in sorrow/

Live life well /

But, not so you’ll go to Hell/

These ocean orbs cutting into me/

Somehow unnerve me/

I am breathing in the sun/

And wondering what has begun
