The world is a shallow place
With relationships as deep as a face
Girls dreaming of being stars
Boys dreaming of fast cars
Does anyone take the time anymore
To see past what is behind the door
Its like the whole world is going to fast
The days are longer but the nights don’t last
Terrified of living the dream
People settle for what’s just seen
It’s like all I wanna do is say
One day society is going to pay
I just wanna live in a world where everyone is happy
One where people still think love is sappy
I wanna wake up with sun filled skies
Where the is no telling lies
People will say this is a foolish desire
But really where is the fire?
We always want to be grown up
But being old kinda sucks
I wanna go back to days of nap time and sing alongs
Where everything was simple, that’s where my heart belongs
Our generation is one messed up crew
And I have to admit I am too.
It’s time to numb pain
To let the crappy things go down the drain
But we’re all stuck in this thing called life
Who knows maybe it’s better if we fight.
I have no more desire for this grown up shit
It’s like a bug bite, that has an infinite itch
So people say screw it, yolo is the way
But darling there are better things to say
Let us hold strong to our youth
It’s the only time in our lives we told the truth
But it’s just a dream, it’s not real life
Because like you, and everyone else I’m done with this fight.

These feelings they eat away at me
I try and fight them with All my might
But I can’t pretend that everything is alright
So during the day I’ll put on that special face
But at night these memories become my dream.
These days seem longer and longer.
Brighter days become darker nights.
My heart in a fright and my mind occupied
With thoughts that consume my days and nights.
Broke and torn I want to shout
But instead I’ll just pretend that everything is alright
Here we go again
with this rushing wind
no time or better place
to glorify you and seek your face
Proverbs 22:23
“For the Lord their defender, he will ruin anyone who ruins them.”
-Man God has our back and then some!
I die laughing every time I read this.
(via myjesus-ilovethee)
You really mean everything to me. Sometime I get lonely, and I get afraid of where you have gone. It’s like the darkness overwhelms my mind, and I can’t see light anymore. I know deep down that I will always come back to you. But the things you have called my life to be scare the CRAP out of me. I just want you teach me that running makes me fall even more behind from doing what I needed to do for your kingdom.
Help me daddy……
Love your
Beautiful daughter.
