In My Heart

Dont waste so much time perfecting each and every line. Just write. Dont shoot so high

Why do i have to rhyme

Why must i try so hard

Why must i reach so high

Far beyond the stars 

To perfect each and every line

Beyond my comprehension

Why not just write simply 

the way it is in my heart

Express the way i feel

The thoughts inside are real

Dont focus so much on sound

For what inside i conceal

Focus on the truth

on what matters most to you

Don't waste your time

Perfecting each and every line

Just write. Don't shoot so high

Start little and go from there

Don't slow down, dont stop now

Don't wear yourself out 

Dont consume yourself with doubt

Just write. Keep it light. 

Shouldn't have to be a fight

Shouldn't be so out of sight

Just focus dont believe it's hopless

Dont give up cause its not over. 

This is not the end write what you know

Use that to glow, to light up the darkness

The words are where your heart is. The heart is 

where you begin. There is no end just write 

what you feel from within

Write yourself and never stop. 

Use whatever, whatever you got

In your heart..

Just write what you feel

All of what is inside is real

Dont hold back on what you conceal

Don't pay attention to the sounds. 

Don't limit yourself by which your bound 

Just write from the heart. Write simply

not beyond the stars

I love to rhyme. But if it means sacrificing content if im putting to much effort into rhyming and end up stuck. I give up. This was to me about keeping it simple. I still try to rhyme but not excessively if it isnt already pre thought out.. I just working on shooting for smaller and working my way up if i can.
