The Road Not Taken By

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

just make tonight great

she arrives at the party
to jubilant cheers
yeah don't they love her
c'mon bring out the beers

no judgement
no expectations
no delusions
no projections
make tonight great..
just make tonight great

my smile is my mask

my smile is my mask
i'm always wearing it
my smile is my wall
i hide behind it
i smile when i'm happy
i smile when i'm sad
i smile when i'm hurt
i smile when i'm scared
but most of all,
i smile when i think of you
because i feel i need to
hide behind my wall
and mask the pain i feel
from this infinite sadness
that can't be healed..
my smile is my mask
i'm always wearing it
my smile is my wall
i hide behind it
