Uphill

Life is an uphill struggle
Nothing comes easy
and only hard work pays off
 
I don’t like hard work

It was that simple

It was uphill both ways
 
I couldn’t help but smile

Passion

Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another

Silence

I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
Underwater

Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
