“Everything that comes up has to come down”

Didn’t ever mean that no matter what you gotta go down

It simply meant that the bottom had a limit, called the ground

A solid foundation, its utterly basic yet still profound

An idea taken in many ways

For no-one truly knows what we say

As we can say what we literally mean

Yet say something nice that gets taken as mean

Unaware of just what you did

Unknowingly having done something horrid

Oh God Forbid

It wasn’t what I meant when I said “the sky’s the limit”

It wasn’t your thoughts nor actions as I was trying to inhibit

I only meant to say you are bright and seemingly limitless

So how did I misspeak, what did i possibly miss?

How could my meaning but not words get lost in transit?

Did not matter what mode of transportation got used

Somehow my goodwill came out to hurt and abuse

A misunderstanding I had to explain and refute

“A stitch in time saves nine”

I’m not that rude, I’m quite benign

Though fight or flight, I fight I find

So dont be aggressive, don’t go on and attack

Dont force me to have to fight back

Lets talk this through, its what we do

We have the patience, this one virtue

 

“Birds of a feather flock together”

Is precisely why I know its “better late than never”

Pushing it off could make it hurt forever

Hurting with no intent is something I could never

I could not possibly just let it slide

I have these code-like laws, I instinctively try to abide

I must admit it nerve-wracking, so much so I try to hide

The nerves but not laws strengths, I hope change like tides

“Every gray cloud has a silver lining”

Meant there is a bit of good even in bad im just now finding

It is just a modern version of “even in dark times let there be light”

When thought along with “the little things count” you will see a new sight

To always have hope that the dark will go away

A message that there would be better days

Not a simple saying that means we have lots to learn and gain

But a message to say at some point it will be worth all the pain

“Cost an arm and a leg” but we can agree it was all worth it in the end

When our visions of prosperity turn into reality instead of just pretend

“Success is a journey not a destination” is just as easily forgotten

The path of “trials and tribulations” is still a good path to have gotten

For all those challenges has improved your body, mind and even heart

It’s made you bright enough to understand and beat the dark

Strong enough for me to help take it out of you

Not matter how battered, I know you can do it too

Gotta push straight forward, no more “beating around the bush”

I’ll walk along side you or even behind you if you truly need the push

“Two heads are better than one”

I understand that better than anyone

So let me be your non literal stepping stone

Who raises you up proud, and knows you can show-em

I stand broken feeling nothing but alone

100,000 calls but no-one ever picks up the phone

Yelling, screaming, shouting into the distance

Each unanswered word reminds me that I am distant

Not trapped in a cage, simply been removed faraway 

Unable to glimpse your page, I try to connect anyway

False confidence in my desperate pleas

In hopes of others, I alone set out to sea

Knowing full well that its do or die

Nothing can be worst than how I feel inside

Trapped in a place i would never call home

Figuring out myself and what I can overcome

Finding my way both inside and out

Fighting my way for a better route

The Burns and cuts run deep in my soul

Its no wonder I dont ever feel whole

Self worth so low, I feel i have to find my own place

For only when im alone could i be worth the space

An existence who feels living is wrong

A mistake that can barely stand strong

-MioJip W.A.G.

The sun it shines, unable to be stopped

Yet it takes one cloud, just one to be blocked

Though it still shines way over yonder

It can’t shine down on me

It surges far and infinitely grows

Yet it is destined to be alone

Giving life to literally everything

But not one thing gives in return

Sacrificing what would have been eternal life

To give everyone just a bit of light

It tears away at it own

Just wait til its a black hole

The moon, beautiful, it shines in the dark

Truth is it reflects , not bright on its own

Two faced, as we always knew it was

Faces us with a lie, faces away no longer disguised

Oh how it wishes to no longer hide

Oh how it yearns to brighten the sky

Not with the false light it reflects

A light from within,  it wants to glow

Well who wouldn’t want to wish to be a star

To have passion, be bright, spread light

Its all we ever begged for

To have a sense of self that feels right

I lay in solitude so confused

unable to distinguish my mind

How is it possible that I dont think like other guys

Why am I so different, why?

A woman’s best friend kind of guy

Yet sometimes it feels a woman inside a guy

Confidence in masculinity

Or just a lot of femininity 

Neither here nor there, I cry

Unsure who I even am or what

It stings beyond compare

Being lost in my own mind

Kind yet vile, selfish and selfless

Contradictions all the way through

Half of me lost, other part missing

As I wander, looking to be complete

The eyes i see, filled with disgust 

What part of me is so wretched

The aura of being so heavily judged

Why is being me such a negative

How can i move forward

When walls just block my way

How can i climb up

When life pushes down and away

How can I see forward

When only darkness is ahead

How can I look up

When im down on the floor

It takes courage 

Thats all they tell you anymore

Bravery and confidence

Ive lost it so long ago

Be yourself, only you can be you

Why be me, all I know how to do is lose

You are worth it, you are great

Then why does it hurt so bad i wish to end my fate?

From the darkness it calls

Yet everyone knows of it

In every shadow it exists

Yet it is not always seen

When felt, it becomes undeniable

Yet there are those who deny it all

It it more than a whisper

yet it makes no sounds at all

It takes over the mind

then leaves once its been left blank

It’ll cause you to lose all sense of control

You won’t know though, you’re already numb

It may start as a creep, slowly from the shadows

But like a government gone wrong, it is strong against light

It does not fret for fear is what it consumes

And it forces fears to consume you

Until there is no more light of day

Now you see it calls to you too

Everything has gone so cold

Thought i was pretty bold

Now i just lay here on the floor

Inching closer to death’s door

Took a bottle of pills

Hoped it was enough to kill

Feeling bit by bit go away

Feeling that todays the day

the day where i fade away

to ending just one more day

It was all i could ever ask for

To finally just be no more

Living is so much more than i deserve 

By my own standards, Ive observed

the lack of light and passion

A sense of inferiority that freezes action

To have been born and started on solo

where numb is higher than my low

for to feel naught would be great

To be naught would be my best fate

Walking in the rain

Each droplet inviting pain

Reminding you of burdens

Ensuring you stay hurting

Body as heavy as your heart

quickly falling  apart

Till your knees give in

and you feel like your freezin

numb enough to seem fine

Aware enough to feel like your dyin

This you who can no longer stand

Whose sense of self you dont understand 

So nows the time to feel your emotions 

to Process them not just go through the motions

For it matters not if you are on your knees

Focus on yourself, be who you want to please

If you cannot walk then crawl

You were always in it for the long haul 

But know with me, you are not alone

spiritually, you feel me in your bones 

not today nor any other day

will i ever go and just be on my way

Like the sun whose return is certain

Ill brighten your day, open up your curtains

pick you back up on your feet

walk and talk if its that deep

Ill follow your pace, you wont be lonely

so give me a taste of what you been goin through 

Cant find my way, couldn’t follow my heart

Like these paths were made just to rip me apart

I may not know of which way I may go

I have the feeling that no matter what ill grow

Losing every battle yet we’ll call it a lesson

Giving up is the only way to lose I reckon

Crawling through with just our blood sweat and tears

The cost of losing is all we hold dear

We knew this, losing is our greatest fear

Its a fight for our lives, thats crystal clear

It matters not how many times we hit the ground

Ive hit it many more times when no-ones around

What matters is that you choose to stand

Even when you feel you cant handle the demand

Extracting a toll on your body and mind

Just try to look for the silver line

For in all of the grey there is still a shine

It may not be a what but a who you’ll find

Even the feeling of no longer being solo

Can take you out of feeling so low

Pardon me for being so direct

It may just be time to go out n connect

To turn your beautiful nightmares into sweet dreams

Im just here reminding you, you are your own King

There is no need to come out n flatter

Put yourself first, I promise you matter

For even when I cannot see

And all of me feels empty

You came to me, I resonate 

Like an all or nothing moment of fate

you dawned on me, became my light

Showed me what it means to fight

Though i may not know the way

I can see the light of another day

For just your presence has given me purpose

The greatest present though i dont feel I deserve this

You give it happily not knowing its worth

It gives me hope for a sense of rebirth

We all yearn to be embraced

yet wanting it too much makes ya disgrace

a nobody who needs to learn their place

A nobody who now hides to save face

In plain sight yet invisible

Smiles no longer visible

Once thought to be invincible

Spent too much time giving his all

Gave 100% thought itd work

100%, all of it hurts

I think it plain to see

Broken man’s reality

dull and gray

wishing his life away
