Days In The East..

Chase your dreams…don't let them chase you

Don't take it the wrong way..I'm just trying to inspire you

Before the military I wasn't sure what I was going to do..

To be honest there are times when I still don't know what I want to do..

But I know I want to be that person that all my loved ones can run to

Runaway…Runaway

Are you listening to your heart?Or just what others have to say?

This is the only game where no one gets to win,or no one gets to stay

So say all the things you need to say..

Do all the things you dream to do

Make being a happy person something that happens all the time..and not just when you get something new

We're too materialistic, some have everything by having nothing

Don't listen to what they used to say in high school..you will be something

To keep it real..I never dreamed of ever visiting London or Spain

When the hand your dealt sucks…something you just have to keep playing

Long days but short nights..

I hope you eventually find euphoria and your internal compass leads you right..

Thinking about the list of people I'm going to have to say good bye to

You know the ones who always kept it real from day one,who I never had to lie to

The only reason to look back,is to see how far you came

There will always be people who try and hold you back,but those are the ones whose position in life will always stay the same

So dream big…imagine one day you'll be flying to your dream location by plane

New memories,new friends & perfect times

These are the moments I'm happy I signed my name on the dotted line

When you already have the best people..what else is there to go out & find

I hope your happy

I hope your okay

I just want to say thank you..

You were the only one who was there for me in each & every way

We never really lose someone when they pass away..

All we lose are the chances to say all the heartfelt things we never took the timeout to say

So say what you need to say & send them some flowers while they can still smell them

Speak from the heart & deeply express everything you desire to tell them

('It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men'

-Frederick Douglass)

But I've been demolished before..

All it took was someone who sincerely cared

Not being able to hold onto happiness was something I always feared

But after gaining some wisdom..I know happiness can only last if it's shared

"All the happiness in the world stems from wanting others to be happy,
and all the suffering in the world stems from wanting the self to be happy."
-Shantideva
