The Songbird
Little songbird the world has made you forget how to sing
With all of it’s sadness & constant storms it has tried to destroy you
Bravely you fly against the raging wind hoping to find your song again
The storm has crashed & thrashed & blown you off course
Still you fly; memories of the sun your driving force
It’s beautiful light sparkles in your eyes
Soon you will come out the other side
The sun will shine, the winds will die & you will remember how to sing your song again
With all of it’s sadness & constant storms it has tried to destroy you
Bravely you fly against the raging wind hoping to find your song again
The storm has crashed & thrashed & blown you off course
Still you fly; memories of the sun your driving force
It’s beautiful light sparkles in your eyes
Soon you will come out the other side
The sun will shine, the winds will die & you will remember how to sing your song again

The Light
I’m wandering, it’s black as night
There’s not another soul in sight
Reaching out there’s no one there
The isolation too much to bear
In the distance a light suddenly shines
With that warm glow I’m no longer blind
A spark of hope grows inside
I know I can no longer hide
The sickness that lives inside me
The torment that does not let me be
Again I reach out my hand
Hoping to be free of this dark land
With help & a will to fight
Slowly I make my...
There’s not another soul in sight
Reaching out there’s no one there
The isolation too much to bear
In the distance a light suddenly shines
With that warm glow I’m no longer blind
A spark of hope grows inside
I know I can no longer hide
The sickness that lives inside me
The torment that does not let me be

Hoping to be free of this dark land

Don’t Ask Me
Don’t ask me why I love you
I really do not know
Don’t ask me why I follow you
Where I really don’t want to go
Don’t ask me why I cry for you
When you don’t think of me
Don’t ask my why these feelings
Just won’t let me be
Don’t ask me why I don’t walk away
Though deep down I know I should
Don’t ask me why any of these things are true
I wouldn’t tell you if I could
I really do not know
Don’t ask me why I follow you
Where I really don’t want to go
Don’t ask me why I cry for you
When you don’t think of me
Don’t ask my why these feelings
Just won’t let me be
Don’t ask me why I don’t walk away
Though deep down I know I should
Don’t ask me why any of these things are true
I wouldn’t tell you if I could

Withheld
You’re just so intoxicating & sublime
We talk & talk; you blow my mind
Your intelligence & insight roll over me in waves
Just to talk to you is all I crave
Your humour makes me feel alive
Overwhelmed with love’s sweet high
But now you cruelly withhold it all
Claiming you just need time away from the world that’s all
You hold all the power so I must obey
But damn you for taking my joy away
My mind reels & my heart aches
My comfort & sanity is what you...
We talk & talk; you blow my mind
Your intelligence & insight roll over me in waves
Just to talk to you is all I crave
Your humour makes me feel alive
Overwhelmed with love’s sweet high
But now you cruelly withhold it all
Claiming you just need time away from the world that’s all
You hold all the power so I must obey
But damn you for taking my joy away
My mind reels & my heart aches
My comfort & sanity is what you...

Depression
Clinging to the rocks
The storm brews around me
Whipping me and tearing my flesh
Still I cling, climbing towards the light
Branches crash knocking me back
No one reaches down to drag me to the top
I must do this on my own
So I climb on hoping to reach my day in the sun
The storm brews around me
Whipping me and tearing my flesh
Still I cling, climbing towards the light
Branches crash knocking me back
No one reaches down to drag me to the top
I must do this on my own
So I climb on hoping to reach my day in the sun

Fingers Pointing in Judgement
I feel it - the judgement in your eyes
You talk to me with exasperated sighs
Nothing I do is ever right
Though I try with all my might
Everything I say is always wrong
I wait for your judgment to come along
Always your judgmental fingers pointing
I seem incapable of not disappointing
I am so very tired of it all
So fuck you I will stand tall
I cannot stop your constant assumptions so unjust
Go on blaming me if you must
I swear you live to criticize
...
You talk to me with exasperated sighs

So fuck you I will stand tall

The Longing
Loneliness echoes through this cavernous space
One thought of you & I’m in the longings cold embrace
How I long to look upon your face with eyes that burn holes through my soul
Oh how the longing has taken it’s toll
Always craving what I cannot have -the longing
To hear your voice sweetly whisper is what I need - the longing
To touch you just once is what I crave but you just turn & walk away - the longing
But sweet relief I know will come when this heart ceases to beat & my work is done
This...

Scars
Many scars upon my skin
Jagged reminders of where I’ve been
Deeper still are the scars upon my soul who’s darker stories remain untold
Scars I hide so very deep that they remain mysteries to even me
You view them as imperfections so ugly
To me they are badges of honour reminding me of where I have been and how far I have come and that I have survived man’s sins
Jagged reminders of where I’ve been
Deeper still are the scars upon my soul who’s darker stories remain untold
Scars I hide so very deep that they remain mysteries to even me
You view them as imperfections so ugly
To me they are badges of honour reminding me of where I have been and how far I have come and that I have survived man’s sins
