Stop Searching...

For the guy who broke you, for the girl you use to be, for the answers you seek

Stop Searching...

Quit seeking out the guy

You thought that you loved.

The bad guy, the liar,

The too good to be true.

Remember?

He's the one who taught you

To stand up, be you.

He loved you, I'm sure

But he let you fall down

He didn't catch you,

Watched you drown.

You cried for a while,

Stood up,

Shook off,

Kept walking and talking,

Like nothing was off.

You know you shouldn't search,

You know you shouldn't look,

But one day you keep hoping,

He'll come save you

Like the books.

He may return for a while,

But only to see what he missed.

He'll leave you like he came,

Don't play this game.

He may not return,

But from this experience you'll learn

You're stronger now broken

Than you were here before.


Stop searching for her,

The girl you once knew.

Is she hidden?

Is she you?

You changed a little,

Lost yourself in a storm

Don't worry, my girl

It'll all be reborn.

Don't search for specifics,

Don't look for a list,

You'll find yourself

Among the abyss.

You threw yourself out there,

The world seemed to consume,

Don't worry, my girl

One day you'll find your muse.

Don't search for the lost,

You'll create some untrue,

Just be who you are,

Live like it's true.

You may not know,

You may be confused

But like baby steps,

It takes a few.

You'll find yourself again,

Don't look too hard.

It's still you in the mirror,

You're not that far.


You're looking for answers,

Looking for plain,

But they aren't here,

They're not in this frame.

The world claims to have answers,

Ignore them

For me.

They're all wrong,

Only tell you what they see.

The answers aren't clear,

It's not easy to see

But look to the Heavens,

He'll answer your plea.

Don't look for the facts

In the wrong places and things,

The world has no truth

For you and for me.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
