Sung Beautifully by Missy :-))  
   
SAVE ME  
   
I've got the fear  
It's even dark in the day time  
And the voices that I hear  
Tell me it's useless just to fight on  
With every shed of tears  
The strangle hold it tightens  
And I've got the need  
I'm alone in a crowded place  
No thought how deep  
Brings me to a state of grace  
I need to feel  
The desire to touch written on my face  
Chorus:  
Save me, oh save me  
Catch me when I'm falling  
Catch me when I'm falling  
Save me, oh save me  
Can't you hear me calling  
Can't you hear me calling  
You--r name  
   
I've got the pain  
It's of my own creation  
And I looked in vain  
For my own salvation  
And this is the rain  
I sweat in desperation  
And I've got the rage  
My anger knows no bounds  
On every page  
My hatred can be found  
I should be caged  
Or let loose with the hounds  
   
Chorus:  
Save me, oh save me  
Catch me when I'm falling  
Catch me when I'm falling  
Save me, oh save me  
Can't you hear me calling  
Can't you hear me calling  
You--r name  
Woah, woah, woah  
Calling you--r name

kissing in the snow
Verse 1:            
I'm walking down the path we both made when we first laid the plans              
Ring in our new life...              
Holding hands while we would run so far away from those who snuff our light              
Shine on our new life...              
               
Chorus:              
Kissing in the Snow              
The flakes fall on the road              
She taste like wine              
Still on the vine              
I love her more each day...              
               
Verse 2:              
When we were only babes we would play and daydream all the day              
About this mystery life...              
Never knowing that we would wake from both our sleeps and see appear              
Burn on our new fire              
               
Chorus:              
Kissing in the Snow              
The flakes fall on the road              
She taste like wine              
Still on the vine              
I love her more each day...

My Everyday

The other day the pilot light went off in my water heater,
I checked it out but I couldn’t check the meter,
That meant no hot water for who knows how many hours,
But I had shit to do, so I took a cold shower.

The other night, my woman and I got into a fight,
She told me to remove my shoes from the living room,
I told her yes honey, but this is my house bitch!
I said under my breath and didn’t do it till morning, BOOM!

Just this morning as I was making everyone breakfast,
I noticed there was no milk for coffee in the fridge,
But I did see there was powdered creamer in cupboard,
So I used that instead but just a smidge.

My everyday thug life is a hoodlum’s slice of paradise,
Living on the edge with a pledge and a sacrifice,
My average day is the hood way and crazy theme,
The schemes I dream up are just a scream.

My credit is five-eighty it’s lazy and shady,
I pay half my credit cards and so they gang up
The hollers from callers are not from some ballers,
Every month collectors hassle me but I hang up.

I catch chicks staring cuz’ I’m so bold and daring,
I wanna tell ‘em “Hey! Eyes up here and not at that”
They check out my skills, I know it gives them a thrill,
Watching me fold my woman’s panties at the laundromat.

Even as I cruise down the boulevard I get stares,
They’re like “that dude is hardcore” but they have no iota,
Of the life I that live with no reason to forget or forgive,
Even though I have a wheel cover missing from my Toyota.

My everyday thug life is a hoodlum’s slice of paradise,
Living on the edge with a pledge and a sacrifice,
My average day is the hood way and crazy theme,
The schemes I dream up are just a scream.

The sign says sixty-five but I’ll drive sixty-six,
There’s no limit to my spirit that’s how I get my kicks,
My lunch at work may only be an hour,
But I’ll take sixty-five minutes to show them my power.

I’m so hardcore people look at me think I’m like Thor,
Just smaller, fatter and a little closer to the floor,
My mug shot is a picture of me on my coffee mug,
With a hint of rum on the run because I’m so thug.

And if someone tries to talk down or disrespects me,
I file a complaint through the proper channels hastily,
My silence is golden and it helps me embolden,
Because my rage is a caged fart I can’t hold in.

My everyday thug life is a hoodlum’s slice of paradise,
Living on the edge with a pledge and a sacrifice,
My average day is the hood way and crazy theme,
The schemes I dream up are just a scream.

Congratulations, Miss_Sun for winning the DUP Idol competition! You have an incredible voice and the instrumentation + lyrics added the cherry on top. I'm so pleased that you've participated and gave me the opportunity to listen to your amazing songs. Well done!

Congratulations to first runner-up, runaway-mindtrain. Like with Miss_Sub, I like the extra effort you've put in actually singing your song and creating instrumentation for it. Well done!

Last, but certainly not least, congratulations to the second runner-up, Jade-Pandora, for her excellent song-writing skills. I enjoyed reading them, and imagined different sorts of melody that could accompany your songs. Well done!

A huge thank you to everyone else who participated and shared with me your songs. I look forward to reading your work in the next competition, "Lord of the Poems: The Fellowship of the DU."

Wow thank you so much, to our lovely host Luna!  I’m very honored to be a runner-up to this competition, and my congratulations to trophy-winner Missy, and to fellow podium mate & superb poet Jeff (runaway-mindtrain!

See you all again... and to you, dear Luna... thank you for having me!
