What could I say
What could I do To possibly change Your point of view? You can’t change mine I might change yours I can open my mind While you all observe I found my voice I might be heard But am I surprised That I feel ignored? @sabaitide

How do you measure happiness?
With a ruler or a scale to weigh it? Is there a price or level of success? Or your amount of online influence? Is it what you have? Or what you do? Or is it how your public image looks? Are you keeping up? Do you need more? Do your parents even like you anymore? Why aren't you happy like everyone else? Because if that's what happiness looks like And if that's what they're trying to sell, then I don't want a happiness that's superficial Happiness doesn't need to be liked to be valid You could finally discover your life's purpose And still get less likes than someone else's Picture of their dinner and a stupid caption Social media cannot capture how good you are So don't let the likes (or lack thereof) distort how You perceive yourself or your self worth because The truth is that happiness has also been distorted @sabaitide Saying this might not help
But by saying something Hopefully what was said Will resonate with someone It might not be remembered Exactly what I wrote or said Or what you heard or read But what did you honestly think When you scrolled past me? My interpretation of reality Helps me make the best of things Did you see or feel anything? @sabaitide I thought I knew
All the stars in The night sky Like the stickers On my ceiling that Glowed in the dark Or like the map In the sky when I Was terribly lost Like abstract ideas That I have to Connect the dots I thought I knew All of the stars but Now there's a new Light in my skies Looking out for me And I wonder why @sabaitide Sometimes I feel alone on
Things I can't do on my own Surely it can be done so I Really trust God on this one When my motivation's thin And when my courage is low God gives grace, He gives me hope When I feel lost, I am found at last God'll meet me where I'm at and cast Away the trance of this inner and outer Wavelength that's been pulling on me And that's how I conquer my anxiety @sabaitide The sky hasn’t fallen yet
And I wonder when that’ll be When pigs fly? Or Jesus arrives? Do we wait for Doomsday? Or a sign of the end times? Will aliens arrive? Or better yet, When will they just tell us already! Will the world end tomorrow? When we pollute all the water? Or when we're out of resources Like all of the oil that'll be scarce? What about all the toilet paper I need to stock up on before No one's allowed to go to The grocery store no more ‘Cause that’s the new normal We're headed towards, it's what They’ve been conditioning us for While Star Trek predicted this in Glimpses of our 21st century doom Way before I was even born I mean, infectious diseases? Quarantines and vaccines? Human extinction by radiation On season one of First Generation My goodness, does more go wrong? On this star-crossed planet we're on? ‘Cause there’s something going down On planet earth right now that’s beyond What we know about space and time Like Star Trek predicted the end, alright Not all of us will board the Enterprise But for now, I can make it my mission To at least try to finish all seven seasons Of Star Trek while I'm still breathing But what if I don’t make it to the end? If you understand what I mean by it But I shouldn’t even think like that Because the sky hasn’t fallen yet and The glass ceiling is still over my head @sabaitide I think I already knew
That you loved me That's why we're just friends But when you actually Told me you love me Now you're a maybe I didn't know might be And I wasn't prepared for This to be anything more Than what this isn't even is And maybe we could Finally be something Now that you told me That you love me Which I already knew But wasn't prepared for Because we're just friends @sabaitide I think I've got a lot going on
And a bright future ahead But lately it's dawned on me To make realistic life plans Not just the month-to-month Where I'm barely getting by In what's become a routine For my quiet small town life Maybe one day I can leave Or try and fall in love again You'll think I have a crush but I'm having way too much fun Too much fun being myself, like I cannot handle how much fun I am having, ah, but then I think How and why am I the last one? Why am I the only single person Left in my family? And when did This happen or sneak up on me? Even my little sister has a s/o And so do all of my old friends Who are getting ready or married While I sit here in all the fun I'm having Wondering what on earth am I doing? Why hasn't any relationship worked? And is it something wrong with me? Am I too crazy? Not cute enough? Did my ex start a rumor about me? Sometimes I'm brutally single And I'll overthink everything But I don't even want think About my nonexistent love life Why I haven't found the one? Sometimes it gets to me, but Then I'll forget and overthink Those life plans I don't have yet @sabaitide When time will tell or come to pass
When life goes on what will last? When trials test my faith I’ll ask Does God have something better planned? When hard times come it’s He who’ll bless He makes creation from my mess He loves me when I’m not my best ‘Cause God’s planned something more than this @sabaitide It's that time of year again
To decorate our homes To cook our family meals To get our shopping done And to give and receive gifts But when you unwrap your box Will you hope for toys or treats? Or the trendiest material things That you saw advertised on IG On your personalized newsfeed? We're more connected than ever Why not use it for a good cause? Because right now, somewhere Around the world there is a family In need of some disaster relief Due to conflicts, climate change, and Circumstances beyond our control And one day I hope that family will Receive a gift like yours, and in it, Will be shelter @sabaitide |
