Home and Away
Two lives tied
Under the canopy of stars
Where one ends
The next begins
Cycling
It is a task to
Remember which you
Are this hour
And did you say what
You felt or what you felt
They wanted to hear
Because home you said
Exactly what they expect
And away you said things that
Home couldn't bare
One person
Split by a life of two
One who is forced
To be a specific way
And the one who won't
Be accepted for who
She is today.
Under the canopy of stars

And the one who won't

Silver's Mess
The pressure is building
Faster than any high rise
And reaching more impressive heights
Though logic and reason
Cannot be found
Emotion is bright across your eyes
Ripping all the light
From your searching mind
Your heart is jumping
And your body is shaking
Like a toddler drowning in caffeine
You can't breathe
All your senses are hightened-
The ticking clock is a drum
The whoosh of the fan is a helicoptor
Each water drop is an explosion
You are burning up
But you are freezing cold
Your face is on fire
Your...

In The Moment
Live for the little things"
An over used cliche
With a solid point and meaning:
Imagine waking up to a world
Without leaves or grass
Or the buzzing of bees
A world without anger and hate
And the healing forgiveness brings.
Imagine going to sleep
And never smiling in your dreams
Or not waking up from a nightmare
With a violently choked scream.
Imagine walking down the street
Without smelling the dumpsters
Or feeling the breeze
Or having to tug up your too baggy jeans.

Don't Let Go
Hear the sounds of
Hearts beating out loud
In perfect harmony
We breathe in sync
Our minds scream
Don't let go.
Don't let go.
Not a person will be
What you are to me
Like a sunrise
Like the night skies
Your breath taking beauty
Fills my lungs
Your gentle touch
Has me crave for more
Don't let go.
Don't let go.
A rose has its thorns
But it smells so sweet
You can't value the work of
A masterpiece
It is just you and me
When our eyes knowingly meet
Even if we drift away asleep
Don't let...
Hearts beating out loud
In perfect harmony
We breathe in sync
Our minds scream
Don't let go.
Don't let go.
Not a person will be
What you are to me
Like a sunrise
Like the night skies
Your breath taking beauty
Fills my lungs
Your gentle touch
Has me crave for more
Don't let go.
Don't let go.

But it smells so sweet
You can't value the work of

Not to Stay
I say: sweetie you've hit rock bottom
It is time for your eyes to point up
The descent is fast and
You ascend so slow
But the mountains in your view
Don't need to be moved
Just climb them steady
She replies: I feel the weight of the world on me
I want to get to real land
As fast as I can
I can do it, I think I can
Everyone says they're rooting for me
Yet they're placing their bets
I won't win
They say I'll just be back
Down here in the end
I say: listen love there are no short cuts
Try to skip a step
And you'll...
It is time for your eyes to point up
The descent is fast and
You ascend so slow
But the mountains in your view
Don't need to be moved

As fast as I can
I can do it, I think I can
Everyone says they're rooting for me

Built To Last
I live off a strict diet
Of lies and lullabies
Washed down with a dose of guilt
And self imposed perfection
I am choking on my dreams
During turbulent sleep
And tripping over my awaken feet
Do you not see i wasn't built to last
Like a cardboard castle binded with glue
I stand tall until the moment
Rain comes and washes away
All sanity in the flow of debrie
Do you not hear me screaming
Out through the laughter
That divides me like bigotry
Of lies and lullabies
Washed down with a dose of guilt
And self imposed perfection
I am choking on my dreams
During turbulent sleep
And tripping over my awaken feet
Do you not see i wasn't built to last
Like a cardboard castle binded with glue
I stand tall until the moment
Rain comes and washes away
All sanity in the flow of debrie
Do you not hear me screaming
Out through the laughter
That divides me like bigotry

The Truth of Being Alive
The petite moon is hiding
Behind clear clouds that don't dare
To upstage our glorified star.
Grass bends beneath flesh,
Evesdropping on carefree openness
As shoes lay abandoned and draped
With socks that never match,
Letting toes innocently taste the breeze.
An unstable rainbow slowly melts into the sky,
Fading like scars that once saved your life.
With sun kissed skin you stretch out
Thinking of how times have changed
The way you live and define
The truth of being alive:
It is not just supplying a pulse ...
Behind clear clouds that don't dare
To upstage our glorified star.
Grass bends beneath flesh,
Evesdropping on carefree openness
As shoes lay abandoned and draped
With socks that never match,
Letting toes innocently taste the breeze.
An unstable rainbow slowly melts into the sky,
Fading like scars that once saved your life.
With sun kissed skin you stretch out
Thinking of how times have changed

Toxic Mind
I know who I was
But time has allowed change
I'm trying to relearn who I am
By writing out my humanity
Page after page
Sleeplessness keeps my mind clicking away
I can't put my body down
When my mind is so high
I am hovering just below the stars
And tucked in right above the clouds
If I reach out I will touch
The universe with my fingertips
The cosmos run through my veins
And stardust engulfs my being
I am magic and I am freedom
I am the embodiment of euphoria
Drugs are far far out of reach ...
But time has allowed change
I'm trying to relearn who I am
By writing out my humanity
Page after page
Sleeplessness keeps my mind clicking away
I can't put my body down
When my mind is so high
I am hovering just below the stars
And tucked in right above the clouds
If I reach out I will touch
The universe with my fingertips
The cosmos run through my veins
And stardust engulfs my being
I am magic and I am freedom
I am the embodiment of euphoria
Drugs are far far out of reach ...
