"Courage is the power to let go of the familiar."


How you do know when it’s that time?
Like how can you be so sure?
Everybody is nice when you meet them
Things always run smooth when it’s new
In the beginning there is no struggle
But how do you know when to take that step?

Maybe it’s just me
Like my personal insecurities and issues fog the picture
I know the game, I play it well
It’s like a trap
Once you’re in you’re comfortable
You do you, go where you want, say what you want
Most people you meet are exactly the same way
It’s all about what you can get out of a situation
Sex, conversation, money, clothes, basically anything a relationship could offer
But how do you know when it’s more?

I guess me being comfortable I never let it get that far
I don’t see the point, just seems like that’s going backwards
I tried relationships, play or get played was always the theme
Fighting for me and only me is easier
I do me better than anybody else ever could
But most of all I’m comfortable and it saves time
I don’t have to worry about getting my hopes all up
Then ending up hurt and with less than I started with
It’s like a win-win situation. I guess…
But how do you this time is “the” time though?

Sure times get lonely, but I know lonely people in relationships
So why take the chance
If it works then great and if it doesn’t it was a learning experience right?
Nah, I’ll pass. Not for me. Not right now.
I’ll just keep watching and learn from that.
A movie here, dinner there
I’m good with that
Anything more is pointless
I mean after-all I’m comfortable where I’m at
I’m safe this way.

Men are from Mars

So do we have to cry?
Do we have to stay home in the bed all day?
Are we supposed to leave a hundred voicemails on your phone?
Just what exactly do we have to do for you to know we have feelings too?

“A man’s eyes reflect his soul, his actions reflect his being”

It’s not in our nature to cry
When we are sad we go hang wit the boys
Play sports, watch the game, or go get a drink
We do the little things that bring us joy, and get over it

“Anger is a temporary emotion that denies progress”

It doesn’t mean we are just brushing it off
And of course it doesn’t mean we don’t care
It just means we take the time to clear our heads
So that we can handle the situation in a positive manner

We rather smile than dwell
We rather talk than argue
We rather get over it than sit in

“If you’re going through hell, keep walking”

Why sit in it and mope around
It’s an easy principle
We feel pain just like you do
But after you’ve been mad for two days, then what?

Some things we just won’t understand
Simple to us is big to you
We care, but we just won’t see it the same as you

“The only way to get over it is to go through it”

You understand us
Just about as much as we understand you
We are what we are
