spinning around and around
getting dizzier every step
don't know up from down
it's all just a blur

marshmallow clouds
float in a caramel sky
as lemon drops fall
into a chocolate river

nothing is as it seems
reality drifts away
as fantasy kicks in
perhaps to provide safety

safety from emotions
that whirl around the head
all seem to be morphing
into one big ball of chaos

the chaos leads to
tuning everything out
so thus she creates
her own little world

I sit and I watch
As the rain comes falling
Listening to the thunder boom
and the howling winds

And I think about those
Who hate the rain
Who claim that it's a boring day
Because they can't do anything

Well I've got something to say
Maybe a new thought to you
This comes as a shock
But weather has feelings too

The weather gets sad too
Just like humans
That's why it rains
They're tears coming down

A comparison would be
That for it to be sunny all the time
Would mean for us
That we have to be happy all the time

That rarely happens
For humans or weather
We just have to run emotions
Because that keeps us healthy

So next time it rains
Just remember this
Let weather run its course
It's just natural

A rainy day is a time to relax
Take advantage of it
Now if you'll excuse me
I'm going back to my outdoor symphony

I stare out the window
And watch
As the trees, sky, clouds
Go passing by

And I long so much
To sit
Out underneath the wide,
Never ending sky

To let the white,
Jet puffed marshmallow clouds
Drift over my head
At their own pace

The fresh air
Gently sweeping over the area
Blowing through my hair
Like a wild mustang
When it runs

The pictures I take
Don’t come close
To capturing the real beauty
But it’s better than nothing

As I sit here in the backseat
With my family
And even though I am similar
I am completely different

So for now, I just ride
Thoughts fly free
Inside my head
The open spaces I see
Are just through the window.

It echoes off the wall
But yet, there is no noise
It screams in the night
But is quieter than a whisper

It's the sound of being alone
Not knowing who you are
What you'll become
Or what you're worth

Always questioning
And over-thinking
Driving yourself crazy
With every waking moment

Control yourself girl
Seems like it's hard to do
But think about it
You're your own worst enemy

You can do anything
Just put your mind to it
You don't need anybody
But you need everybody

Keep those who are close
as close as can be
and those who are loose
just weren't meant to be

You can tell
who is who
Because those who aren't
won't fight for you

So relax girl
you're doing just fine
Because you are loved
And that can never be changed.

It's like a poison
creeping through your body
you don't know what it is
but it's causing you harm

it's squeezing your head
so you can't see straight
making it pulse
and pound in your ears

you clench your fists
and hold your breath
as the invisible monster
devours its prey

You do all that you can
to prevent yourself from exploding
There's nothing you can do though
Until the monster has had enough

As the venom is released
your body relaxes
and your mind is at ease
until the next inferior visit
