The Way

Dorothy hit it big with me with this one.

Let’s go back and do something I’ve not done in a while.

The way we hurt, the way we lie
The way we call it justified
The way we love, the way we hate
The circle turns until it breaks
The way we tear each other down
We lose our faith, we lose our ground
Another day, another fight
Holding on for dear life

Everyone on earth has felt this way at one point or another.

It’s why it says we.

We do it to ourselves.

The sun will rise, the sun will fall
We keep searching through it all
In the darkness, find a light
Till we smile and say goodnight
Reach out my hand to you today
I might need you just the same
It’s alright to be afraid
We’ll help each other find the way

We.

It’s a we life.

We actually need people. Otherwise, what’s the point?

We help each other along the way, whether it’s a helping hand or a helping of shit.

The way we cut, the way we bleed
The way we want what we don’t need
Take the bad with the good
The way we’re all misunderstood
The way we weep, the way we beg
The way we hide and hang our head
The way we fight to be heard
The way we get what we deserve

We are all the same.

Only our unique perspectives separate us.

Every last human on earth is the same.

Accept this truth.


We all crawl until we run
Until we all return to dust
All we have is here and now
It’s how we turn our pain around
Like the way I drank way too much
When all I needed was love

I’m an alcoholic.  I understand those words like only another alcoholic would.

All everyone on this planet needs is love.

True love.

Not get married love, actual love.

Agape. It’s Greek and means I love you unconditionally.

I love you as God loves you. If we did this with everyone, we’d fuck ourselves up.

If we do this with one. It could still fuck us up. However, there’s a slim possibility that it could work.

Never say never and never say anything is impossible.

It’s a we thing,  fuck the me, celebrate the we.

Have a blessed one and be excellent on purpose.
