Excerpts

LIFE IS A BEACH

Life is a beach & then you dive
just keep on swimming
until you think you're alive
or swim with the fish
 
Life is a bitch
and so I will live
I turn inside self
and truly forgive
giving up my preciousness
and cleaning up the messes
wipin' my tears
facin' those fears
 
Life is a gift
I handed him my heart as a present
he dropped it & he ran his bike right over it
what a damn lesson to learn
the blood in my veins still burn
cause it’s his energy I so yearn
 
Life is life
I take it with love
tender or tough
Ima keep on breathin'
seeing that I am what I am
and I won't stop believin'
that I'm beautiful like you
yes wiser now
never the fool
for love cuz
I value my life...
 
Life is a beach & Imo ride that wave!
Then Gallop my horse,
speed race my car today!
&  surrender on my lawn & stare at the stars...
All I got is today the present...
Life's gift to me.♥

LAZY TOWN
 
i’m too lazy to start each sentence in caps…
i’m too lazy to put on my night cap…
my ex accused me of being so darn lazy that’s why he left
i guess he was right, but i'm too lazy to write about how he wronged me
i’m too lazy 2 hold a grudge
too lazy 2 not give love
i’m too lazy 2 break a heart
i think that’s where it usually starts
although I might have unintentionally
when all I really wanted was to have my king size bed to me
and just wallow under the sheets
look out the window
past the trees
and stare at the clouds
it’s easier to smile
yeah, I’m too lazy to frown (all the time)
 
that’s too much work.
i’m too lazy to YELL!!!
it makes my throat hurt!
i’d like to be rich
but I’m too lazy to be paper CHASING millions,
i’d rather MARCH better yet WALK
no, I’ma sit here & chill
and let the millions STALK
yeah, sometimes I’m even too lazy 2 TALK
& I’ll mention, I’ll be texting
 
LAZY, LAZY, LAZY I say it with a smile
that’s much easier to do than frown all the while
LAZY, LAZY, LAZY
they look upon me with disgust
so I don’t look toward them
it’s God with whom I trust.
“DO THIS, DO THAT! YOU ARE LAZY!”  They said in alignment.
i retorted, “YOUR COMPLAINT, IS NOW YOUR ASSIGNMENT!”

rest your mind
and your judgments here
here’s a tissue box for all your backed up tears
here’s a toilet for blame & shame
in here it doesn’t matter who knows your name
this place here, no one can frown
this place here is my Lazy Town!

It changed my perception of the meaning of lazy plus it's funny.
