Mindset
I can't do it..
What if I fail?
What if the rest think I'm not good enough?
I can't.
I can't do it..
I'm a fool for trying,
Something could go wrong.
The other humans will think I am stupid.
No, I can't do it.
I can,
I can do it.
If I fail,
I've tried.
And I can say that with pride.
Screw you if you think I'm stupid,
I did the best I could.
I can..
I can do it.

A sign of things to come Prt.2
She pushed me and looked at me in shock..
'Sorry, I.. I can't have this right now..'
I teared up and my heart dropped,
But why? I asked.
'I just need some time to think.
I'm not throwing this all away, but I just can't be with you in that way at the moment.'
She cried, she cried so hard my heart broke.
I said sweetie, I just can't do without you.
I thought you made my depression worse with yours..
But when we lay in bed and you kiss me,
Every bad thing in head fades and all I can think of is you. I love you..
'No you don't.' ...

"A sign of things to come" Prt.1
So.. what are you going to do?
'Oh, I don't know.' Maria sighed.
How often I dreamt of her bearing her body and holding it against me..
How I looked at her soft lips brushing up against mine.
The heavy breathing, the warmth of her skin.
'Dan, Dan are you even listening?!'
Huh? W-what?
She shook her head in disbelief.
'Why is it that everytime I open up to you, your mind seems to wonder anywhere but here?'
If she only knew how it really was.
How bad I wanted her to recognize me as a love interest instead of some kind of wall she could...

Harvester
Sign here please,"
The tall pale man said with an unnerving smile.
'Remind me, exactly what is this petition about?'
"Oh, nothing special.. just a better Healthcare system..."
His smile got wider and his eyes glimmered.
For a fraction of a second I was sure I didn't see my reflection in his eyes,
and then, a sudden cold fell upon me.
'Oh well..'
I sighed as I took the cold white utensil in my hand,
The moment I took the pen I cut my finger on a splinter of plastic.
'Shit!' I yelled.

Selfdoubts
For some time,
numb was how I'd describe it.
Screams, insults and whispers..
They have found a space in my heart to sit.
Certain aspects I can't remember.
But the words spread like fire.
How they burn my soul to embers..
I shout them out to another..
But somehow returned to sender.
Thoughts became feelings,
These feelings won't change.
And when dreams became reality..
Things got rather strange.

Talking to myself
They look at me as if I'm crazy,
my vision is blurred,
my thoughts are hazy.
They tell me:
'If you don't fight 'em, you'll be weak and lazy.'
They don't realize it's a disease..
The close minded people.
They tell me:
'No limits! You can be whatever you want to be!'
But all I want to be...
Is free.

Falling hard
When I saw you..
My heart had skipped a beat.
My hands lost their touch,
And my head dropped to my feet.
The way your hair was tied,
The way you looked at me.
Now I'm pretty sure I lied,
I wasn't aching to be free.
You hugged with utmost passion.
A smile rose from your cheeks..
My heart had skipped a beat.
My hands lost their touch,
And my head dropped to my feet.
The way your hair was tied,
The way you looked at me.
Now I'm pretty sure I lied,
I wasn't aching to be free.
You hugged with utmost passion.
A smile rose from your cheeks..

The Bridge
I saw you,
I saw you standing there.
You looked across,
I waved at you..
You cracked a smile.
You looked down,
Down at the waters.
Hesitation in your eyes,
You shed a tear.
I screamed.
I saw you..
I saw you jump.
I saw you standing there.
You looked across,
I waved at you..
You cracked a smile.
You looked down,
Down at the waters.
Hesitation in your eyes,
You shed a tear.
I screamed.
I saw you..
I saw you jump.

He
He is he who sees us,
But yet he never speaks.
He is he who hears us,
Yet does not respond.
He, is he who through our mind sees..
Yet does not see for himself.
He helps us, recieves us..
And no matter how hard we try,
He is he who decieves us.
On my last day of earth,
I wish to see what goes beyond.
Nature runs it's course,
But is He on the finish line?
I can never tell.
But yet he never speaks.
He is he who hears us,
Yet does not respond.
He, is he who through our mind sees..
Yet does not see for himself.
He helps us, recieves us..
And no matter how hard we try,
He is he who decieves us.
On my last day of earth,
I wish to see what goes beyond.
Nature runs it's course,
But is He on the finish line?
I can never tell.

Don't Pray The Gay Away
You're a special kind of people,
To see the love in those I despise.
I'm not talking about gay itself.
I mean most kind of guys..
The players, users and cheaters.
All the liars, egotistics and wifebeaters.
You see the love in the men.
And I admire your courage to come out..
Love is all the same.
I want you to be proud,
Dare say:
"Trade my Rose for a Ben!"

The Voice Inside
"I've been inside you,"
I'm not scared anymore.
"I've seen the sins of you.."
You told me that before.
"You can't shove me aside."
But you won't break me either.
"What are you, dead or alive?"
Neither.
"You need me,"
I never needed you in the past.
"You're deranged."
Maybe so, but this?
This won't last.

The Road
I keep walking,
Paving the way as I go.
Going wherever the sky takes me.
I'm not yet heading home..
I left for the road.
Despite what you might think,
I can handle this on my own.
No matter how long it'll take,
But I hope that when I get there..
I'll be able to look back upon myself.
To see the road I formed behind me,
And see you standing there.
Because I keep you closer than ever.
So that I am never alone.
Paving the way as I go.
Going wherever the sky takes me.
I'm not yet heading home..
I left for the road.
Despite what you might think,
I can handle this on my own.
No matter how long it'll take,
But I hope that when I get there..
I'll be able to look back upon myself.
To see the road I formed behind me,
And see you standing there.
Because I keep you closer than ever.
So that I am never alone.
