Give Up

Give Up

A Poem by Arlen

Give up the negative thoughts that lead you astray
The world's not against you, it just needs a new way
Give up the attitude of wanting to always be right
A star growing dimmer listening to the ego that's not as bright
Give up placing blame on another when it's your own fault
Open up and see what lies hidden within your own secret vault
Give up the lies that you keep buried beneath the sand
Honesty is the only truth and that we must understand
Give up the doubt that you won't find love after marriage
Look with baby eyes and love the world that holds it in carriage
Give up anger that builds and builds up hidden inside
Surround your being with pure thoughts that expand it more wide
Give up the act of being content when your really not
Why act in a way where there's fear of being caught?
Give up the happiness that you sometimes try to fake
The life we live is only a dream that our thoughts make
Give up that control that you may try to use over another
Only love is real so love every being like you do your mother.
