To the kid that no one sits with at lunch
To the kid that has no friends
To the kid that can't feel love
To the kid that forgot how to smile
To the kid whose parents say "why'd I have to have one like this?"

To the kid who has to inflict pain to know they're still alive
To the kid who's in an endless cycle of depression
To the kid who has funky colored hair
To the kid who has no hair
To the kid that gets battered and bruised for who they are

To the kid that yearns for attention they never get
To the kid that can't think straight
To the kid that isn't straight
To the kid that can't feel what life should be

Depression. That's all you feel
You can no longer tell what's fake and what's real
And the voices in your head-the real you is what they conceal
They tell you to pick up that knife
That's what'll make it better
So you bleed and you scream
and you plead and you try to deem
What's right and what's wrong
But in the end, is anything really....right?

Put down the knife and think back....
You're here for a reason
And no matter what that reason may be, you serve a purpose
If you think long enough, that image might start to surface
You're here for a reason...
this one's for all the kids who aren't normal
We lost love and we found love
Down the winding path we went
I have to see you now
Reaching through time

Our journey will be long
As we dance along
Candles will burn on
As you take my hand

My man forever you will be
Silent plan for you I have
Together we are
As I see you this time

Walk along with me
With the morning breeze
Reaching through time
To not stand alone

I have joy just to see
His smiling face
As memories linger
Dance with me
It drives me.

Colliding my heart and my soul.

A night of wondering.

A voice in the dark.

Memories come
memories go.

I lie awake all night.

Even counting sheep don't help me sleep.

Sweet insomnia
excitements symptom.

I close my eyes
and I come alive.

These are the days my friend,
before it all begins.

Revel in these days.

Sweet insomnia comes to me when I close my eyes
my mind drifts
my heart flutters.

My body never to rest.
Forever locked in her sweet sleepless embrace
I bend knee and let insomnia in
ever to wander the gloom.
We are like a tree
That is planted like a river
So strong are we
Let's break the chains that hold us back

Enemies surround me
They chase me around
Some want to **** me
Like a tree I am

In my traps I lie
As rivers run through me
Darkness covers me
As fog and clouds

Somewhere inside me
I have melted
I wander the mountains
In shame and doubt

Then I know I have to stop
I am strong
I am protected
From all harm

Gates will open wide
So the King will come in
He will open his arms wide
As I walk in
Your love is an open door of heavenly blessing
Sunshine lighting my dark way and I choose to love only you
As the years come to us, than pass slowly away
Nobody ever told me that loving someone tenderly
Could ever make me feel this good, and I choose willingly to love you
For all the rest of my nights and days,your hand reaching out in welcome
Changed my very life in so many ways
And I choose to love only you , as  in song I lift my voice
I choose to love only you , its my own personal choice

And I fear myself
For I am capable
Of falling for you

You can't just say you love her
In the wind
Say it in her mouth
And taste her answer
As her words dance on you tongue
And the wind can never take that...

away

I traced circles on your palms
And infinity in your heart
I drew my love on your skin
And made you taste it on me
The time ran on us
The earth is shaking
Heaven's up above
But it's hell down here
We soared the night
With our eyes closed
With the lights turned off
We bathed in moonlight
Of warmth, sweat, and darkness
But you were uncertain
To sketch on me as well

drop this copper coin
into translucent waters
whispering a wish

shutting dreamy eyes
let the liquid melt your words
absorbing desire
