The Things I See

"Some days I feel like giving in,
But giving up is a deadly sin.
I have to keep on living my life,
First I need to put down the knife.

My anger is getting the best of me,
I wish all these people saw what I see.
I see anger and pure hate,
I see people that are questioning their fate.

God has a plan for everything in life,
I feel I need to help others put down the knife.
I have violence build up inside me,
It is all caused by the things i see."

                       -Jared Lee Brannon

Its Fine

"You say that it is fine'
But I know that you are lying.
Just say how you truly feel,
 Because I  want to know that things are real.

Your feelings matter the most to me,
There is not much i can do, I'm sorry.
I would do anything and everything for you,
Because my love for you is always true."

                     -Jared Lee Brannon                                  

The Impossible is Possible

Nothing in life is impossible. It just takes time and effort to make it happen. Yes, there will be obstacles along the way, but there are more than one way to overcome the obstacle. You can leap over it, go around it, or take the more challenging way and dig under the obstacle. Just know to never give up, everything is possible if you have the right mindset and great attitude. So, be positive and keep a smile on your face and nothing will ever become too much for you to handle.

Do Not Give Up

" Don't give up because of what I say,
 This is your life and nobody can take that away.
 Some decisions are hard to make,
  But you are human and you won't break.
 You are meant to keep moving forward,
 I do see all those bad things creeping toward.
 They lurk around corners and stare at you,
 But I believe that you know what to do."

"From now to tomorrow,
 Show me no sorrow.
  This is the life I have made,
Could easily be taken by the blade.
 So don't show me sympathy,
 This is the life created by me."
                  -Jared Lee Brannon
 

" They say it will be alright, 

 They don't know I'm going to die tonight. 

  Life won't be the same anymore, 

 Inside my head it feels like war. 

   A war with no end to it, 

 Now it is time for you to sit.

 Sit down, listen to what I have to say,

 Hear about the pain that won't go away."

                                 -Jared Brannon

"When I was in your arms it felt like home,
I don't know why I ever let you go,
  But not that you are gone,
 It feels like I have lost my home"


                   -Jared Lee Brannon
