I knew a girl who I never got to meet she was cute and was very nice she suffered from depression and abuse she shut out the world and never spoke to any of her friends again since we all lived in different places we couldn't go to her so she may have commited suicide I have no way of knowing. but I would love to meet her. if we could meet id like it to be in this field near my house on a moon lit night we would talk and laugh and watch the sun rise. it would be amazing

i guess i really dont know the answer to this question until I have actually gotten the chance to do so. But I think I would have liked to meet this boy i met on the internet.. its always kinda fishy when its through the internet since you dont know who your talking to, but he helped me through a really tough time in my life. He was always there when I needed him, at the time i was socially awkward, so i was always questioning why he was talking to me. I dont see why anyone would want to talk to someone like me who cant even get her own act together. He came to me with problems first, I helped him through it and we became quite attached.I wish I could hold him close and say how much he means to me and take away all the negative thoughts about himslf. He lives far away and im so afraid something will happen to him, he was the first person to actually care about me without seeming to want anything in return... which was quite new for me. I have been trying to not get attached because love hurts like a thousand knifes when it wants to. Im not very romantic and even though I would like to walk with him in the sunlight, it would most likely be us sitting on a bench without us saying anything. I want to treat him like a king but i cant and most likely never be able to.

Verse 1-
I've been asked a few times
if you could meet anyone dead or alive
who would it be
well you know I throw around a few names
but that's pretty easy
I've always wondered how it'd be

Chorus-
Drinking with jesus
I'd buy him some rounds
and we'd sit on down
in some sleepy little town
in a dark corner all alone
and I'd ask him everything on my mind
but you know there wouldn't be enough time
I'd ask him for forgiveness from all of my sin
put in a good word for me with your daddy
and tell my grandpa I miss him
if I was drinking with Jesus

Verse 2-
I'd ask him why that buddy of mine
was called home
and how I made it through so many close calls
I'd ask him if he hears my prayers
and what's it like up there
ask him how he always turned the other cheek
and why he died for sinners like me
yeah I've always wondered how it'd be

Chorus-
Drinking with jesus
I'd buy him some rounds
and we'd sit on down
in some sleepy little town
in a dark corner all alone
and I'd ask him everything on my mind
but you know there wouldn't be enough time
I'd ask him for forgiveness from all of my sin
put in a good word for me with your daddy
and tell my grandpa I miss him
if I was drinking with Jesus

Verse 3-
I know he wouldn't be able to stay long
but I'd put another quarter in the juke box
and play another song
and hope he'd stay a little longer with me
oh I've always wondered how it'd be

Chorus-
Drinking with jesus
I'd buy him some rounds
and we'd sit on down
in some sleepy little town
in a dark corner all alone
and I'd ask him everything on my mind
but you know there wouldn't be enough time
I'd ask him for forgiveness from all of my sin
put in a good word for me with your daddy
and tell my grandpa I miss him
if I was drinking with Jesus

good job

If I could meet anyone, alive or dead
I’d pick someone who lives deep inside my head

I think of her all of the time
And how she made mistakes on the turn of a dime

I would tell her how beautiful she was
And that she should matter to herself, just because

She was worthy of greatness and wealth
And could rise above the sadness she was dealt

“This too shall pass!” I would have her chant
When she couldn’t get over her latest rant

Make choices according to how they affect your future
Because if you don’t you’ll die with open sutures

Actions and behaviors, like memories, do not leave
And you know that you wear your heart on your sleeve

Be methodical, smart, and true
And think of the consequences in everything that you do

I would show her the future and where she will sit
If she keeps on living her young life doing drugs and getting lit

Her lovely skin will wrinkle, and her face will discolor
And amidst even the most intensive shade of white, it will palor

Death, destruction, and evil will be in her life
So be ready, to experience these things, you can’t imagine; the strife

If I could have met the young girl I used to be
I would introduce her to the older me, so she could see

What would happen, after fifty years of hell
And hope that she would live a different story worthy to tell

A life full of happiness, rewards, and good friends, a life without regret
And, along the way, she showed love and respect to everyone she ever met

~My favorite~
He was young
I was to young to remember
Was he family
Yes my favorite cousin
He died
I miss him so
I was young
But I Remember
When I got the news
He died
A car fell on him
I would tell him I love him
I'm sorry
I don't really Remember
But I try
You are not dead
Fully alive
I wish to visit you
John John
You were my favorite
My muse
My everything
I miss you
Please come back soon

Alive or Dead hhmmmm..

I've been reading all the poems for people you'd raise from the dead

people you've read of, heard of, but have never met.

I ask you, how, how do you know that these ghosts from the past

Could impart any wisdom you cant learn in a class

perhaps Thomas Becket, but a sheltered life he had lead

Canonised by the Pope, but that's when he was dead.

So he stands there, you see him, like the pictures in pages

but all he will do is ask what the day is

and what if he's angered with all this to ponder

A wolf in sheep's clothing, a martyr no longer

a saint, but a saint unknown to himself

and all he can think of is the pain he was dealt.

no.

I'd drink tea with the queen, chat to the pope, play ball with MJ and smoke lots of dope, record a single with pink and elope!
Perhaps I'd just be better served talking to Miyle about being perverse, tell Madonna to think of her kids before wearing catsuits and showing her tits, or maybe I should simply push Bill O'Reilly into a ditch! with all of these people though one fact remains, that there all alive, with me, today.

if i could speak to just one man alive or dead
i'd conjure the ghost of my father
beat him till he's sleepin' dreamin of the day him and momma never got to wed

if i could speak to just one man alive or dead
id raise the spirits who gave me these lyrics
and tell em fuck off, good art's bought or borrowed the real shits stolen instead

if i could speak to just one man alive or dead
id call up moses and see what threats he poses
when he goes atop the mount and brings back bread and someone elses thoughts in his head

if i could speak to just one man alive or dead
id raise the spirits who gave me these lyrics
and tell em fuck off, good art's bought or borrowed the real shits stolen instead

if i could speak to just one man alive or dead
id call up the president and tell him i should have precedence
over the way the countries led and the children are fed the deadliest meds  

if i could speak to just one man alive or dead
id raise the spirits who gave me these lyrics
and tell em fuck off, good art's bought or borrowed the real shits stolen instead

ELLEN


I like to meet Abraham Lincoln, with a smile of appreciation
Share a sincere thank you, for the Emancipation Proclamation

I wouldn’t mind meeting Tupac Shakur, just to say hello  
Ask him is it true; “Does heaven really have a ghetto?”

I’ve already met my savior Christ; I know him pretty well
We chat each night in my prayers, in me, his spirit dwells

I love to meet President Obama, just to take a quick selfie
Give him praise for Obamacare, America plus one = healthy  

but I really want to meet DeGeneres, first name Ellen
She murders my sad days with crimes of humor, my comical felon

I’d want to have a girl’s night out, with her and a few others
Fun and funny experiences, that’s how it goes, when you’re a southerner

We’d hang at a karaoke bar, get tipsy off cranberry margaritas
We’d sing Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ while laughing like hyenas

Hit up a country night club because those line dances seem like major fun
Watch Ellen make up her own dance, and call it the 'two step machine gun'

So,
Ellen is who I want to meet, for her sheer presence can console
and nothing cures pain, like deep laughter down in your soul


~Rain~
