Quejar (complain)

Our demon is us and he is just here to take as much as we are willing to give, it is up to us to know when to stop feeding him. – A.J

Are you okay?

I have my red pill, blue pill moments
But I’m always high
Never smoke weed once, but I’m always passing the sky
I’m always drunk, it’s  like I love the feeling of being numb
I’m crying again, it is  driving me nuts
I can only take so much I need to slow down before I crash
Maybe I’m overthinking
But nothing hurts more than being in a place you don’t belong
It’s like  suffocating  yourself
Being your own demon hurt
There’s no one to take the blame when you hurt
I always hope no one has to go through what I’m going  through
But maybe I’m just over exasperating
They are people out there dying of hungry
So why can’t I take a little pain
Why the fuck do I complain
I always wonder
What I’m  I even doing here
God, what on earth is my purpose here
Why can’t I seem to get an answer? Or is it just that I’m too busy complaining, too busy crying, too busy hurting, too busy dying or too busy thinking about the future, wondering if I’ll make it or if I’ll just be a failure
You know I think all of this is because I don’t want to fail,  I don’t mind  doing it all from start again, but  I still have fears I still feel like nobody is here
I know I can’t leave I haven’t done my work here
I’m going to keep holding on but how long before I slip away 
If there’s no one holding me, I think I’m far from being saved

Don’t forget to remember

Don’t forget to remember who you are, one who knows himself know is worth. – Anita Johnson

I am not spending tonight with you
But I hope you have a good night
Remember sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bit
Don’t be afraid monsters has been just fairy tales
Sleep like a feather blowing in the wind.

As morning breaks your love awaits
Remember to step in every paddle when it rains
Remember to smell the flowers when it’s spring.
Watch the bees as they collect nectar
Smell the pollen in the breeze

Take your time to count how many times the wave wash up to the shore
Count how many time it go and come back with more

Remember to watch the sunset how it changed its color every evening as it turn into the dark sky
Remember to watch the moon slowly appears and the sun in the morning when it rises and takes back its place
Look for the Venus star You can find love right where you are.

Remember to appreciate the leaves that fall in the autumn.
Because it gives way to cold winter
Don’t forget to make your snowman
Don’t forget to go down the hill with the sleigh
Don’t forget to play snowball fight
Just don’t forget to be young again

Don’t forget to make a stupid mistake and laugh about it at the end of the day
Don’t forget to say thank you, I appreciate you
Don’t forget the, I love you too
Don’t forget the feeling of the first time you saw the one
Don’t forget to live like life has just begun
Don’t forget to be you again
Remember to do it like you are young again

Don’t forget to say I’m sorry
Don’t forget to say it hurt when it hurt
Don’t forget to forgive

Remember to share
Remember to care
Remember that first time you took that leap of faith
Remember the day you throw fear away
Don’t forget who you are when it storms when it pains
Remember to be yourself again
Don’t forget to be young again

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.- Romans 12:2

Don’t be a pessimist be an optimist
