Definition of Fear by Lorenzo McClain aka GPA

"Men who live without fear are men who die very quickly."

Being afraid is the of being human or intimadating another human
being.

As we sleep, a horrible nightmare causes our fear to gain strength
and eat us alive.

Inside a woman's heart is a fear that may only surface when she's
all alone.

I've already written down my fears and yet they go unresolved.

Most fears are common but some are difficult to explain.

Phobias are similiar although therapists use this word to be more
specific.

These professionals pretend like there's a cure for fear,but
listening to them won't really save your sanity.

I'm not suggesting every shrink in the world is lying or crazy,

The only argument I want to make is that "without fear, the world
would be a boring place."

Sense of Humor by GPA

Through minor trails of emotional and mental pain,

As I start to whine and complain,

For whatever the days may bring,

There one I always maintain and that's a sense of humor.

It's not a scientific theory which can be

explained or a tumor that can be removed from my brain,

This sense doesn't doesn't keep our

spirits alive or flow constantly in our veins,

For some individuals it's not easy to sustain a sense of humor.

One moment can be terrible while another turns out to be great,

One person's fortune will end up another person's fate,

When I feel my frustration transfer into hate,

Throughout all my challenges I still keep a sense of humor.

Worse is Better by GPA

If you ask me the best things in life cost

a pretty penny,

Who really has the money to spend to live

this way?...Not too many,

I truly believe that the worse things in

life will make or brake a person's spirit,

If danger made a sound I probably wouldn't

hear it,

I see families struggle and I can do

nothing but smile,

Although they may suffer they'll do it

together as I see them proudly walk that

long mile,

So before you start to whimper and whine,

Think about why worse is better in our

lifetime.
