"If it makes you happy, do it. If it doesn't, then don't."


You’re sunshine
I’m a cloud.

You’re the house
That I burned down.

It’s your candles,
That I blew out.

You’ve got faith,
I’m full of doubt.

Can’t be on my own,
I’m so full of need.

You’re the flowers,
I’m the weeds.

You’re the dog
I forgot to feed.

You’re so generous,
But i’m full of greed.

I have my fun
While kicking up sand

When life’s not fun,
I’ll hold your hand

I once got scared,
So I just ran.

I can’t help it,
It’s the way I am.

This was inspired by my inner thoughts. This is saying, even though on the outside I may look happy and positive, on the inside, there are negative thoughts swirling around like a hurricane.
