The Cost of Everything
There is a cost for everything; hear me out, It's not necessarily what you are thinking about,
There is a cost for everything; hear me out,
It's not necessarily what you are thinking about,
It's not the notes or coins you toss,
But no matter what you do, you're about to take a loss,
When you give someone a shoulder or ease a broken heart,
You think it's free to give. but there is a price you have to count,
The cost you pay for love is a piece of your own soul,
The cost you pay for silence is losing your control,
They say love is selfless; you don't have to pay a dime,
But, oh, they don't tell you that being an emotional wreck is your price,
So the next someone says they don't get anything in return,
Tell them, 'Sure there is, and you will someday learn.'

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

This is so rhythmic and profound. Reads like it was just born instead of meticulously created. Well done.
Very reflexive.
