Blame
I know that you blame me
And everyone else
But I can tell you
You must blame yourself
You can’t live life
Without actually doing
You can’t truly experience
Without taking some risks
Life
Accept the responsibility
That comes with living
Reach out and thrive
It’s not the taking but the giving
You can’t live life
By never being a part of it
You can’t truly experience
Without just diving right on in
Words
You say that they don’t matter
But it’s better to be silent
Than to utter ugliness
The Word created this firmament
You can’t live life
Cursing those around you
You can’t truly experience
Especially, if you completely alienate
Be
All that you can achieve
Raise yourself and fill that cup
Let light shine down on you
Pull yourself onwards and up
You can’t live life
Shut up inside your own shell
You can’t truly experience
The intensity of this gift of Life
