When johnny comes marching home from war
johnny isnt johnny anymore
too many images have been absorbed
and johnny isnt johnny anymore

what happened to the soldier so strong?
i'm telling you, something is wrong

they go over there and take away life
then come back home and **** their wife
with no war thats left to fight
and they dont know that ****** isnt right

when a battlefield is the only place you belong
i'm telling you, something is wrong

She is the writer of words
that will make your heart sing

Sometimes in sadness
sometimes in peace

Her words will wrap around your soul
and carry you high on wilted wings

She'll take you far to worlds unknown
and show you life in ways you've never seen

Shes the girl
Sitting in the back of the book store
reading old stories
everybody else ignores

If you take
the time to ask her name
She wont answer you right away
for she trades with the characters on every page
and cant always remember which she claims

On the outside
Shes looks shy and recluse
and you notice she never notices you
Thinking something must be wrong with her
But my dear, if only you knew

In her mind
Shes dreaming, dancing, and laughing
So lost in all her sweet adventures
In her own little world
where everything is beautiful

I took the words
you wrote for me
and locked them
in my soul

Like the fireflies
caught on warm
dark summer nights
and placed inside a jar

Your words so sweet
they give me dreams
and helped guide me through
all the fears I couldnt see

I want money
I want to live in a country that’s sunny
I want a jewellery box full of gold
I want a husband that’s extremely bold
I want all the most expensive cars
But then I stop and think can these things heal away the scars ?
I want caviar for every side dish
I want a tank full of butterfly fish
I want Channel I want Dior
I want the most amazing house decor
I want a diamond necklace that twinkles like stars
But then i stop and think can these things heal away the scars?
I want the best tasting champagne
I want to be at the top of the food chain
I want a Mac
I want my mother in law to have a heart attack  
I want to buy and smoke the best quality cigars
But then I stop and think do these things heal away the scars?
Want is like a plaster it will protect you for a while but if overused it becomes extremely vile.
Gratitude, forgiveness , acceptance  .

Silence, it dominates the room but yet no one seems to realize it due to the loud conflicting thoughts that echo through their head.
It is deadly, it is the everlasting burden that weighs you down restricting you form the joy of life.
Where has it come from? And why is it here? No one knows.
Why me and not my neighbour? A question that may have an answer but may not.
It attacks sometimes with no warning, and if there happens to be one it is not so easy to take action before it strikes at you like a hungry hyena craving the taste of human life.
Like your caged within your own body no easy way out the ropes around your body only get tighter your ability gets smaller, so does hope.
It manipulates you twisting and turning your body, infusing your mind with the most negative of thoughts as it overshadows your light.
No one seems to recognize you anymore the passer by that you see every day on your way to school , work, home are now complete strangers at least that is what you think.
And the worst part is acknowledging the fact that after it attacks you, it targets your loved one.
And what may we call you Mr Life wrecker?
Disease.
