Eager
Excited to participate in an activity
I've been down the wrong path enough times to know the places I'd rather not go
I've slipped into potholes of addiction and dissatisfaction so I might not know where I'd like to be down to the mile but I know what I live without
I know that the game of wishing for things to be different then they could ever be is no way to live
There is so much life wasted in the should and coulds much of mine has slipped through my hands like sand in what might be
Yes there are things one can change there a goals to work to and dreams to live out but there is no point in wishing on an airplane
Earnest
Serious and sincere
I may have laughed when I told you but I've never been more serious
I wish I could convey how much I'd hate to see you walk behind me
Down the same path in a deep dark woods some don't make it out of
If I could tell you one hundred times I would don't want you to feel the way I did
The thought of you living a life of puffy read faces breaks my heart into pieces
Ecstasy
An intense happy and blissful feeling
Telling someone with a genuine reason why felt like worlds were lifted off my shoulders
So peaceful to know my secret was out there in it's own little way
I'd rather the world not know of what keeps me up at night and why I lie on the bathroom floor
I'd hope that most live their lives without knowing about my puffy shower face and stains on my teeth
But it's nice someone does
