Figuring Life Poem by Gina Albiek

tears wash eyes,
but they don't wash pain
years pass by,
and many pass with rain,

trying to express that you're depressed
will take you hours, and maybe more,
but trying to change it
will take you less, and with results

thinking about him too much
won't get you anywhere
but calling him makes you feel better
just go for it and ignore who stops you

looking at the clock as the time passes
will just waste your time
but working on planting a seed
will get you flowers that one day will bloom

starring at the sky, will give you hope
walking next to the fire, will burn your rope
that you hold on to stay alive
and if you ever lose, you'll be underground

and as the sun shines,
hearts start to beat
it's so unbelievable
they're like the machines
 
I can own the stars if i want to
I can paint the sky pink instead of blue
I can tell the birds not to fly except when i want to
I can make the truth lies and the lies true

whether you said the alphabet from A to Z or from Z to A
it will just be the same
whether you said the numbers from 1 to 10 or from 10 to 1
it will just stay so lame

I'll tell you how to describe the world
Life sucks but we've got to live it
Love ends but we've got to try it
School is even worse but no one can live without it
Work never ends; we might die and it won't end
Money cause problems with friends, and we love it more that ourselves
Having fun might make you fail, but we still have fun and never care
Loving your parents won't make you a nerd
That's what life is all about:
What we love is exactly what harms us
And what we hate is exactly what benefits s
