Example: Break-upDon't you ever get the desire after a break up, to take a leap?Yet end up overwhelmed with fear - wanting to weep,Emotions aren't meant to be kept, they're for someone to borrow,Not for you to drown and sulk in your bitter sorrow,As it's not the way out,So get rid of that drowning pout!

You shouldn't have given your heart,As now you're back to the start!

Set yourself free, embrace the present,Get back to reality, catch up on the time spent,Look at yourself a new,Love is but an emotion that isn't true,

Forget it...There's no sense to it, it's not a part of reality,So why waste your life, chasing a fantasy?

Movies have held us captive and manipulated us overtime,Searching for love- is as if you're looking for a lemon and finding a lime,It's not what expected and can't be predicted,

When breaking up, towards you people are sympathetic,But in reality to them you are simply pathetic,

Elephants have as a favourite pursuitA fondness for tasty doum palm fruit,Though when of this delight they are sated,The tuskers can become quite inebriated,And stagger home in enormous wobbly-boots!
