Unforgiving

Unforgiving life of mine

Through the grit and through the grind

High on pleasure, high on strife

Low in satisfactory, need growth in this life

Deeds undone need to do more

Pathways open, along with closing doors

Highways that lead to nowhere

Roads that lead home, from here to there

A little unaccomplished, a little behind

Take a few steps backwards, across this white-line

Who do you turn to?

Who do you trust?

Without making a scene, or creating a fuss

Truth is "Every bodies out for themselves"

Otherwise it’s a tax write off to offer any help

Am I weak or strong, "I'm each combined?"

Hate, Joy, Sorrow, "They all run through my mind"

The sky is blue, the grass is green

The trees give us oxygen so we can breathe

Birds fly high, up in the sky

To the highest treetop without a try

Maybe my blue is green to you

No matter what, hold true to you

Can we see past our own point of view?

Still push on, still push through

Can’t we love each other no matter what?

See through the smoke and all the soot

Your vision is no better than mine

Roots are strong, you can snap the vine

I don’t know you, and you don’t know me

You don’t know my family, or my history

You don’t know my struggle

My highs my lows

You don’t know my hardships down these long black roads

You don’t know the happiness I had to gain

You don’t know that simple isn’t so mundane

I don’t know you and all that you are

I don’t know what you wish for on a shooting star

I’m not here to judge

I’m not your maker

I didn’t give you life

Nor do I have the right to take it

Faith is vanishing into thin air

Daily life for people seems hard to bare

Ever bodies consumed by everybody else’s reality

Point the finger on you, and get it off of me

Why is pride so consumed by hate?

There’s no dignity, there’s no debate

Why does marriage leave you to wander?

It’s about compromising with each other

It’s about communication, it’s about respect

Simple keys, you should not neglect

Love is a feeling; it’s not a word you say

It should be healing

Help you get through the day

I want to be happy with everyday life

Be a little more trustworthy to the neighbor and his wife

I want to walk outside and still hold true

Without the dramas of me and you

Take in the air take a breathe

Give thanks to be alive

It’s short, in a snap of a finger

No breathe, just death, "You died"
