"Our Paths"


Minds broken down and hands are on the ground

Screamed at my demons for reasons unfound.

But there was no sound just their laughter all around

of those demons mocking as I finally sunk down.


I go into a dream, where nothing is clean

it's a place where no one wants to be seen

but people are deceived, nothing's what it seems

their only following lifes desirable needs


Now I'm coming through, grasping at clues

every now and then it helps to play and sing the blues

but a screw is still loose, and I still cant refuse

and I fall down again tightening up my noose


on a fateful day, I found a path walked the way

not knowing the direction, nor the land ahead that layed

only knowing this path I should stay, come snow, hail, or rain

I need to walk this mysterious path just to stay sane


it's years later now, I'm not quite sure how

a life built so fast, and just as quick can be torn down

I was never proud, cause when I think about

it's a miracle that took me down that northern path, that didn't lead south


a miracle saved my life, built it up more than twice

now it's in my hand and I have to keep it right

pray for it every night, the strength to hold on tight

and never let this miracle get the chance to leave my sight.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
