A "lyrical poem" (aka song lyrics) about being at a junction in your life, figuring out which way to go, and of course powering through it. Enjoy! Last Modified 1-31-15
She took a walk one day
Under the beautifully dark midnight bay
In order to say “how meaningful is today?”
While waking up each day to take a chance at life!
With the street on her feet
And the world in broad vision
She’s taking a chance in the windy city,
Where goals and wishes and dreams can come alive
It’s time to move forward right now…
Growing up is an endless battle
Living life through challenge’s lenses
With exploring the skies as a massive place
It’s time to brightly shine right now…
She said that anyone can do anything you immerse your full self into…
Even if some steps are missed you can still make forward progress
But once those crossroads are met in full force
Between a dream and toxic wasteland it’s better to stay on course
Just find out where to drive
And make sure quitting never ever happens (happens, happens)
Conquer the crossroads, conquer the crossroads...
How do you walk along and win the game?
When your current path feels all fogged up
And you try to clean it up and pray that it will shine
Don’t let yourself get eaten by fear
Don’t let yourself get swallowed by haters
Don’t tell yourself you’re less than what you really are
Just continue on forward and conquer those crossroads all day! (all day, all day)
Continuing down the strip of pride
While she’s trying to glide with lots of stride
It’s time to strut your stuff right now!
(down the rainbow road)
You can only succeed by being bold and brave
As she holds her humble heart upon her sleeve
It’s steadily transforming at life’s junction signs
Becoming the beautiful lion she strives to be
Prancing through the master stage
It’s time to level up right now!
But at those junction signs
*screams* What to do? What to do?
What the fuck do I do?*
Just keep moving forward
It’s time to be decisive
And not get trapped in life’s loops
It’s time to start living right now!
Conquer the crossroads (x 4)
And then she asks,
How do you walk along and win the game?
When your current path feels all fogged up
And you try to clean it up and pray that it will shine
Don’t let yourself get eaten by fear
Don’t let yourself get swallowed by haters
Don’t tell yourself you’re less than what you really are
Just continue on forward and conquer those crossroads all day! (all day, all day)
Just continue on forward and conquer those crossroads all day! (all day, all day)
Just never give up and keep on going and conquer those crossroads for life!

Good Riddance Evil Shadow Monster
That moment when you have the strong desired to love and be loved, but struggle to not be held back by your past... until you get swept away by love itself... in poem form... enjoy!
Walking along the glitters of life,
As you’re searching for your own buried treasures and unfolding mysteries,
The time has come to slam the door behind you from the shadow monster and never turn around…
Until he decides to creep up from behind at his own free will…
In which, you give him the finger and vanish to happy town!
The day of liberation has arrived
And prompted an integral epiphany...
To fly free from your home which is tainted by those who are supposed to be there for you...
Who apparently call themselves your family and only are because you didn't have a choice...
As they only throw your heart and soul into the ground and stomp on it in the same way you kill an ant from under your shoe...
Because a world of hurt has once consumed you as you now trust no one..
You tell yourself it's not your fault when everyone else tells you it is
Where in reality, those who place the blame are bullies only searching for bragging rights to boost their feigning power levels...
As for the others who "claim" to be your allies have transformed into foes only backstab you to their utmost advantage…
Which sucks the vigor from your will and sends you into a shameful spiral like a darkness spell you accidentally cast upon yourself…
If the people in your life are setting forth on their journeys to destroy you, why would you want to come with them?
It's not ok to be treated like that and don't say you're sorry!
Why do you feel desperate enough to follow along their dreadful path just because you don’t want to be alone anymore?
It's not ok to be seen as an animal and don't tell them you feel bad...
The sorrowful feelings of loneliness on a daily basis creep up and down your spine like how a drink rises and falls from your straw…
It's NOT your fault and don't listen to their words which should mean nothing to you...
And when that drink is finished, you’re left with nothing again…
Except for the need to fight fear’s viruses which engulf your heart and soul as the parasites suck your insides dry…
It's YOUR world, and you don't deserve this!
The storms from your eyes are unleashed…
The screams from your heart are cast into the pink starry sky
As an integral epiphany is born…
Such an integral vision comes alive...
That everyone is worthy and deserving of love…
In the same way a grey and white kitten can randomly meander by your side and steal your heart instantaneously,
And the past is the past and only belongs in the backwards path to never ever return...
Stop thinking about it, it's time to move forward!
The shadow monster is gone now leave him be!
He belongs locked up now leave him there
Because he is only a figment of your imagination and will never be real like Boo the Ghost in the Mario games!
And the now is yours!
It is time for you to let go…
It is time for you to let yourself drop into that portal and stop fucking hanging on to that tree branch behind you…
Just let go!
And let the power of love guide you through the rainbow road
As it takes away the pain
And puts your pesky past to shame!
You are now free to let the wings of love carry you into heaven’s arms!
Thank you kitten for restoring the light behind those olive green eyes of mine!
Oh, and fuck you shadow monster!
And now, you shall carry your honorable journeys onward to the fun-filled adventureland of awesomeness!
