Pick your battles

Fight or skedaddle,

Heart’s a knight or a whinger

Anger’s one letter off danger.

You may be the iron cutter

but I am the samurai sword,

I may seem quiet

but don't you think i didn't hear every word.

All the good people go through shit

so they don't get stuck in the pit,

don't forget your inner child

they're still in ya running wild.

Show this to someone you care about

so when they hear it they'll think of you,

all the memories will flood on out

ask yourself “was it all true”.

When it comes to trusting someone

I don't trust your words

I trust what you do,

you may have the sweet taste on your lips

but poison hearts skip

Find a way to serve the many

for serving many serves you greatness,

you can even be friendless

the abundance will flood an endless.

start to say “fuck it” more often

to the things that will make you blossom,

let go of all the fear and doubt

take a deep breathe n go on out.

Life will always test you

to see how much you want it,

go jump for it

go make the most of it,

time to close old doors

so you can open new doors,

if your on rock bottom

time to pick yourself off the floor

and walk through that new door

to find your true core.
