Poezja

You ought to practice what you preach
Or it is no more than wasted words
Meaningless lessons
Which are deeper than the air you swallow
But never breathe

Wasted time
All of which you use to tell them
To follow a path
Which you will never cross

Don't stoop to his level
You tell her, though you really are yourself
A level which only you have learned
Not to rise above

I know he was mean
I know it's been tough
But that's how it goes
In the world of love

You can change fate, but can't change a fact
So swallow his pride and quit with this act
Nothing now can be done

Four years now, I've heard about the one
Who you claim to hate to no avail
And yet you persist to bring up at any chance

By fighting against him
You are playing on his team
A team that can only lose against itself

It takes more courage to forgive
And to give up the fight
Than to complain that you've lost
When you are the only thing continuing this losing battle

If you don't fight, don't start
You can never lose
But you can win

As Marvel shows
Which you stand by every day
You can't let evil win

You preach this day to day
And yet you are the only one
To throw that white flag across your heart
To fly it from the ground when above it you could soar

You can't change him
You can't change what he's done
But he hasn't quite killed you yet
So you from him can still gain strength
Take his words and burn them up
Rather than throwing fuel to his fire

You say you're a chicken to cross the street
But fear you must not have
This lonely street is crowded not with cars
But with many others in your place

Afraid of what on the other side may lie
Afraid of what this life without hurt may hold

And it is only they who are hurt by these cars
Killed from their own fear

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To find a better life
Across this street an oasis lies
Across this lonely crowded street

But this true happiness may only be reached
Without the absence of pain unlike you think

Hiding from this pain in the dark
Will only bring the light of hell on Earth

Never anywhere will you find happily in this life

Unless you have the faith to cross this lonely crowded street
