give up.
let go.
let your shoulders slump and your head hang low.
do what you have to do, but know
that the end of the line is here.
let your dreams fly away.
maybe they'll come back some day,
but don't hold your breath
do the right thing.
get up every morning.
you were never an example,
so live your life as a warning.
let go; stop adoring
other's lives that you long to live.
nobody's perfect.
let the hole in your heart gape open.
numb the pain.
drown it, then let your eyes rain
and water your soul.
you'll never be quite whole,
but you'll live.
don't play the games.
don't settle for less.
but embrace loneliness.
cuz there's nothing to gain
by holding the pain
like the baby your arms long to cradle
but will never be able.
walk away, but don't hide.
have a friend to confide.
hope they'll be by your side,
but learn how to stand alone.
cuz in the end your the one
you need to rely on.
so give up.
About Me
- gorrión
- I love writing. It's my therapy. I have two blogs, rooftop melodies and rooftop harmonies. The first is about my life, and the second is only poetry. I hope you enjoy reading my stuff as much as I enjoy writing it!
Your hands around my waist
Your eyes holding my gaze
But you don't hold me anymore
Fingers tighten on my neck
You hold me to your bed
Don't you have enough power yet?
You don't hold me anymore
I took a minute there to grieve
But you're nothing now to me
My heart has been set free
Cuz you don't hold me anymore!
Little bro, here's another song. I'm writing an original so you can sing along.
So I'm fresh like a rookie just getting off home plate.
My first base is a hit and run, so I gotta do time for a line so sick,
You'll pick it up like mono at midnight on New Year's Eve.
And you know I luh you like a fat kid loves to eat cake
But my affection for pastries makes my love seem fake
When you think about the choice our Savior had to make:
For our sake he took up the cross and defeated the grave
And all them things you could bake don't seem so great
When you look at his face, arms stretched out wide,
Cuz they nailed to the pine where he took our place,
Now what you know 'bout grace, fam?
saturday morning, watching the world go by
xbox, loud music, and touching the sky
your arms around me, your hand in mine
your sleepy eyes and long sighs
mountains of pillows piled high
the tears that i cried, all the ways that i died
the anger i couldn't erase from your eyes
you stole the sun from my day
you turned my skies gray
left me nothing to say
gave me hope one day
and then took it away
i'm still lost in your gaze
i had nothing to gain
but you gave me your pain
and you took me away
the fire inside, you stealing my pride
your lies wrapped up in their truthful disguise
climbing that hill to see the skyline
your crazy blue eyes piercing my mind
my hair in your hands and your dreads in mine
the way that you made me feel so alive
i miss...

We seem to miss each other a lot these days
May be bogus to you, but I need some boundaries
And I know it hurts us both, but I think
It could push you to be the man I know you could be
Maybe that sounds weird, cuz I know
Not a lot of people's putting these expectations on you
But they don't know you like I do
They don't know that your heart is true
That you feel deeply about all you do
Yeah, you got a mouthpiece that you gotta control
Or maybe it got control of you, who knows? (lol ;-)
But forget about that, it's not so much about
You and your problems as it is my doubt
That I can make it at this time
In certain situations in which we often found ourselves
I'm strugglin with all these changes
That I'm trying to make to make my life better
To get through this cold weather
I'm not talking about snow as much as the aftermath
It's like Katrina tore through my life
And now I'm tryna get it back
So don't feel so bad.Ya sabes I love you
Don't think that I'm not always thinkin of you
I know that today is your big day
You twenty-two, yeah, do you!
But remember who knew you, the true you
When you was new, takin your first breath
Cuz I'm thanking Him for makin you
And for puttin us through all that we went through
And I'm praying that He'll make me and you
Something brand new in everything we do
Happy birthday, bro, I love you! Read More......
I started writing this a few weeks ago and finished it early this morning at about 1 am. So if it stops making sense 1/2 way through, that's way. I'm not tryna hate on anyone either. Everything I say is because of God's love and grace, so don't miss that. Hopefully I said it with love. If not, God forgive me and help my efforts!
~But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8~
Years in your eyes, you put on your disguise
I can't hide or deny these tears I done cried
As I'm watching you, you're slippin
Tyrna hold on to your existence
My heart is breaking for you, bro
But it don't annihilate the distance
You tryna reach Pluto
But this astronaut is trippin'
Got them stars up in your eyes
But they obstructing your vision
Get your head out them strange clouds
Let gravity pull you back down
You think that true life is won in the streets?
Or it comes between the sheets (get it)?
Well then you would be mistaken
It's not something that can be taken
Like watchin a disaster, it's a lot to take in
But all that garbage is just fakin'
I already told you, you already know
You wildin' out, you outta control
And I love you man, but you gotta grow
It feels so strong to say I gotta let you go
But you were never mine. (you feelin my flow?)
God's your Father, bro; you're not on your own
Gotta step away from this life I been leadin'
And follow that path that started in Eden
Leading to a cross where Jesus was bleedin'
Don't you see bro, we need him?
You can't get faded enough to fade out his blood
He didn't die for the just (who's that?)
He died and rose for all of us.
