Why am I here? (A Statement of Purpose)
My favorite songs
Turn words to water
On the days when I wonder
Why i even bother
Why am I here?
What do I have to offer?
Just let me soak
In the pain of others
To know the flood
And dive deep on purpose
Is to live a life more honest
Than those on the surface
When I'm feeling worthless
This makes it worth it
I put pain to paper
To help lift the burden
Without letters to myself
My mental powers would falter
I'm on display to help us both through
I'm an everyday author

Tune Within Your Conscience Self Perception
Yesterday's gone, overcome & chose to live as if everyday's the last. Make every second count. It's true not one thought can be replaced. Look ahead & embrace tomorrow. Hold strong within, steady yourself in conviction so you'll always rise above the ashes of restless shadows. Bonds of unity cement lives together in fashions of trust. Grab hold God's gift & cherish those you love. Throw complacency to the dirt. We grow thru trials of pain & tribulations to become stronger in character with conviction. Freely give, expecting no refund.
Truly understand strength within...
Truly understand strength within...

Confessions
I stopped calling because you didn’t
always seem glad to hear from me.
Last week, my dog got more medical care
than I did during my entire childhood,
and he wasn’t even sick. I don’t talk
to my brother because he’s an angry drunk.
When I was a teenager, I lied a lot
more often than I got caught. I hardly ever
wash my sheets or save the greeting cards
you send for Halloween or Groundhog Day.
Your coffee makes my stomach hurt.
I have friends whose advice I actually follow.
I can never tell that you’ve lost weight,
don’t always...

Numb
While my heart beats, my body is still
With my eyes open everything is dark
I can hear sounds but not the sound of you
And when I try to feel, I feel empty
Some days I'm allowed to see outside
See the light, feel the warmth and hear your voice
As much as I would love to stay outside
My visits are cut short
I'm dragged back in falling to the bottom
Your voice fading until it's forgotten
And so it begins again
While my heart beats, my body is still
With my eyes open everything is dark
I can hear sounds but not the sound of you
And when I try to feel, I feel empty
Some days I'm allowed to see outside
See the light, feel the warmth and hear your voice
As much as I would love to stay outside
My visits are cut short
I'm dragged back in falling to the bottom
Your voice fading until it's forgotten
And so it begins again
While my heart beats, my body is still

My heart is not listening me, what should I do....
My heart is not listening me,
what should I do...
Without you I even can't walk now,
how can I think to live without you...
If you will walk away,
What will I do without you...
Mistakes are part of our life,
Can't I get another chance as my love is very true...
Even if you don't say,
even if you are not speaking...
I know your silence & coquetry are saying,
that you love me too...
Where I want to live,
you are that world to me,
Now I am living more than,
what I used to be....
what should I do...
Without you I even can't walk now,
how can I think to live without you...
If you will walk away,
What will I do without you...
Mistakes are part of our life,
Can't I get another chance as my love is very true...
Even if you don't say,
even if you are not speaking...
I know your silence & coquetry are saying,
that you love me too...
Where I want to live,

Now I am living more than,
what I used to be....

Love hurts
At first it's all hearts and flowers,
Dates that you never want to end,
Laughing and joking,
You think hes your best friend.
Time goes by and the mask slips,
Little things start to show,
The traits all so familiar,
Where did my best friend go ?
A push
A slap
A kick
A punch
Hurt and ashamed
Did I make him this way?

8 Dollar dates with you
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter where we dine
It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter if we get lost
It doesn't matter if rains
It doesn't matter how long the ride is.
As long as i share my meal with you
as long as i share the scene with you
As long as I'm holding your hand
As long as you're presence keeps me warm
As long as you're right beside me
All my fears doesn't matter
as long as you're here with me.
It doesn't matter where we dine
It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter if we get lost
It doesn't matter if rains
It doesn't matter how long the ride is.
As long as i share my meal with you
as long as i share the scene with you
As long as I'm holding your hand
As long as you're presence keeps me warm
As long as you're right beside me
All my fears doesn't matter
as long as you're here with me.

The Pink and the Japanese
The couple ’s funding for the moth actually denied that the country is qualified to meet the summit. The style is also integrated. He is also annoyed because of pink. I ’m pink because of any pollution. How to deny pink business is why it ’s insulting. The amount of time it ’s worth is hot and I think he ’s an unprotected agent. The topic of June is now the topic of clothing against its personnel and then remember that the people are too good to divide the quatrains and the Hong Kong government gives it how the heavens and the humans are united. Yen topic personally also appealed to the court...

Falling
Demons calling
Calling, calling me home
Reaching, falling
Falling, falling, cant grasp
Nothing
Never was, never were
Never
Hidden idiom, lying metaphor
Tragic analogy

Why??
I don't like goodbye.
We will meet again someday.
It may be a while.

Footsteps On The Staircase
Hearing footsteps on the staircase
a young boy is silent in his room,
only moonlight from the window
brightens the darkness and gloom.
His heart beats fast, fear increases
as an angry father opens the door,
staggering drunkenly towards him
to inflict violent cruelty once more.
He packs a bag with some clothes
leaving home in the quiet of night,
stepping out into the cold darkness
hoping he won’t be missed till light.
It’s not so much the pain and bruises
more that he just can’t understand,
how one man can change...
