The Glass is Half Full

You only see the cloud, not the silver lining,
only the grass on the other side of the fence.
Stop for a moment and look around you, we’re
living in an age that shouldn’t be possible.
Let yourself get lost in the miracles, don’t be
swept away by the bad.
The glass is half full.

Take a moment and smile. Don’t forget the people that love you
you always see the rain, not the rainbow.
Let the world see what I do, they will find you just as beautiful
as I know you are.
Don’t forget to let a simple melody
sweep you away.
The glass is half full.

Things might not work out
but that doesn’t mean it’s all gone to hell.
Live your life
Love your life, it’s the only one you have.
You act as if everything has a purpose, but say that nothing does.
Don’t forget to laugh at yourself.
The glass is half full.

Life will always surprise you
don’t get bogged down.
Let yourself smile and laugh and be happy.
Smile and see the glass.
The glass is always half full.

Stone and Glass
You bite your nails and glance around you
heart beating quickly.
No one is watching you. No matter how it feels
No one is watching.
You are not the center of the universe.
Heart of stone, skin of glass

You want to be deep and understanding
all you come off as is pretentious and ridiculous.
Stop the pretenses.
Stop the acting.
Stop it all.
Heart of stone, skin of glass

You pretend not to care
when they say things that hurt. You hide it well
but it’s all a fake.
You say a lot but mean very little
your cautious thoughts are overpowered by your
need to be seen
need to be heard
need to be loved.
Heart of stone, skin of glass

Break the bubble
really mean what you say
stop with the acting
the pretending
It all means nothing if it doesn’t come from inside.
Be real.
Skin of stone, heart of glass.
