*I try to keep things simple
In my simple day to day
Simple in the way I walk
Simple in the things I say*
I always try to think good
Good in everything I see
Good in everything I hear
The good in everybody
*If I can keep this standard
Hold tight this philosophy
I am hoping all in life
Will go well for them and me*
I try to love with all my heart
To keep rooted to the ground
I try my best to play every part
In what comes around goes around
*As I try and keep it simple
Makes it all much easier to figure out
In what I go through, everything that I do
A complicated life doesn't go over so well*

I don't want kisses on the lips.
Kiss my forehead instead.
I don't want movie dates
I want walks in the rain.
I want nights on the couch
Curled up with you.
Reading poetry
And drinking tea.

sometimes i wish
i could understand
whats up inside
the mind of a man
no matter how hard
i try to get through
he just keeps on believing
what he thinks is true
i try to reason
with every breath
but hes made up his mind
and hes stubborn to death
trying to convince him
his thoughts are wrong
is wasting your breath
and would take way to long
he does not and will not
see it your way
even if you explained it
all night and all day
no matter what
you do or you say
it gonna end up
wasting today
your best to tell him
he's right so he'll stop
then call up the girls
and go out and shop

have you ever asked yourself like why you so lonely?
01:53 am
or empty?
that maybe you give too much of your essence to people and never leave any of you for yourself
01:55 am
i know i do
02:05 am
and like that's maybe why i get so attached to humans
*because in them,
i find myself*
02:07 am
i need to change, because things shouldn't be this way
02:10 am
but it's hard sometimes you know, when most days you don't leave the house because you feel unworthy of the space you take up
02:16 am
so you'd much rather disintegrate into soil because you've become all too familiar with people stepping over you and admiring the outcome of your beauty but never the roots of your pain
02:19 am
i spend so much effort watering people in order for them to grow and hardly get enough sun shine to feed my own soul
02:25 am
because i don't know how to do anything else but care for everyone but myself

listen -
hear no sound, feel
only wind on its way, ghostly
nothings, but hush to sharp wings
of ocean birds so fraying as they cut
the sky, shuttle to fairways, far aways,
in plaintive cries, i hear what they say,
sailing into the jeweled skylights, but i
am only weight of air, still on ground,
i mumble out, sidle the bone tides
that roll to land, grains of clarity,
i am mist and tear, a world
of hollow, i am that sound -
of ocean in a shell.

The rain keeps coming down,
Despite the path I choose.
Every time I take a risk,
I always seem to lose
Constant raining cats and dogs,
No matter what I try.
Rain keeps pouring down on me
As the time goes by.
Without a drop of sunshine
To break through cloudy days
All I have is sadness,
Stuck in gloomy ways.
My mind can't seem to shake it..
Depression has been here too long.
The rain keeps coming down on me.
The wind keeps blowing strong.
Maybe, if I think that tomorrow
The sun will come out
And know it in my mind
Believe it without a doubt.
Then, I can change the weather
And turn grey skies to blue
And only sunshine will remain
The choice is up to you.

Sounds of silence
Is something wrong?
Should have heard something...
It's been too long.
Could get a phone call
Its turning into night
Still not a word,
I hope that they are alright.
Pacing the room
Worried and upset
Where could she be so long?
In trouble, I bet.
The car broke down,
It's out of gas
She's out there stranded
Or been in a crash.
Why not a phone call
To ease my mind
She lets me worry
All the time
Should I call the hospitals?
Should I call the cops?
The telephone rings
My heart stops.
Who could it be?
I pray she's alright.
"Hi, mom. It's me
I'm spending the night."
"Ok, baby
Thanks for the call
Was I getting worried?
No, not at all."

Why do you call me, what do you need now?
You say you are a friend of mine, but I do not see how
Do you think that I'm a servant, and who are you, the king?
Whenever you need something, you only need to ring.
Like I don't have my own life or anything to do.
But sit and wait by the phone and hope to hear from you.
Insisting that I help you, whatever you request
Pretending that you give a **** is what you do best
Are you that stupid not to realize you can't work someone that way without it coming back to you and regretting it someday.
Thinking that you are smart, saying what I want to hear
Playing like you're there for me, acting so sincere
Manipulating with your words, finding where I'm weak
Knowing that I am the type to turn the other cheek.
Taking kindness for weakness is something not to do
Like playing with emotions, its bound to backfire on you.
I have always trusted you and what you said to me
Blinded by my own hopes, denying what I see
Knowing what you really are is not a friend at all
And so next time you need to talk,
Find someone else to call.
