Serious
May 19, 2016
Oh darling, I wanted to have some fun,
But you want to live a serious life.
I treated you as if you were the one,
But all you saw in me was your own strife.
People who think have bad comprehension.
I just wanted you to stay for a while.
To cause pain was never my intention.
All I ever ask for is you to smile.
A life of thought is a life of silence,
And no one ever wants to be unknown.
A life of thought is a life of violence,
And no one ever wants to be alone.
To feel joy is to be oblivious.
If so, I don't want to be serious.

I love it you are an amazing writter
This one is just about people being serious in life versus people having fun. I want this message to show that there are times where you will be serious and there will be times when you should have fun and enjoy life. Take time to let go off some situations and enjoy the moment. Enjoy.
