How many times must you see the light Before you have to fight and fight To do what you think you know is right Count on your hand the number of lines And times that light has brightly shined To show the world what makes you kind Think about the size of your heart and if it didn’t fall apart so now you have a brand new start Don’t give up on yourself not just yet You have more strength than you would bet remember friend I’m your safety net I wish you would have been with me And not in that mental slavery I know that I could have made you see In the end it is not a diss And I’ll just have to leave you with this Your happiness is not your bliss.

For Sam
Go back in time and find that muse the one that’s good that you used to use. A broken heart never felt so good as when you’d write what you know you should. Ive lost it now, and want It back. That feeling of dreams that cut the slack Do I need that heartbreak and shame to write the things that have that name that I gave them once? You know which one, the one that you thought of and thought you were done, but I’m not done there is so much more. Hiding. Waiting to break through the door Maybe if I get it all out in writing my emotions and dreams won’t be constantly fighting. To wrap it up I just have this: My happiness is NOT my bliss.

Trying to write again.
I wish I had another heart One you didn’t tear apart so I could give to other girls my heart and very pretty pearls but all I have is this broken one and it won’t work now that you’re done

It’s a different kind of love story now One where everyone is happy And no one is laying up all night The kind that you hear about And see in the movies The kind that you really don’t think exist I didn’t think so either But then I met her She was beauti – is beautiful Her eyes are the most beautiful window To the most beautiful soul That ive ever seen My friends are jealous My parents are proud My brother gave me a pat on the back Literally It wasn’t love at first sight But it didn’t take long And when I knew I really knew I’m so in love with her And the only thing I wish Is that this was all real

Is Sherry a lesbian?
More or less, you know I love you Or at least I think that I do Right or wrong can't change the fact Good to know you don't react And really you did break my heart Not to say we weren't apart So just respond, won't you please Put my guilt and shame at ease Even if you hate me so Novices can't let you go Cause thats really all I think I was Eager kid looking for a buzz Right or wrong i know its true ' So tell the truth, that you did too.

MORGAN SPENCER'S
lonely is a freedom and I wont be told otherwise No one around to impress or persuade Only me and my thoughts And whatever music I choose to listen too Ya know there is happiness in that In the fact that right now at this very moment Sitting in my bed, alone, listening to classical music I am more me then I may have ever been I have been in a constant search for myself We all have if you think about it And I search outwardly which is stupid Because where am I except within myself Where am I if I’m not right here, just existing We all, myself included, have this fantasy about life This fantasy that life is full of lavish love, Ball room dancing, and big happily ever afters But what none of us really understand is that While we’re sitting here wondering where all the Happily ever afters are our lives are happening They’re happening right before our eyes And what are they full of if not love And surprises And ups and downs And problems. But that’s perfectly okay.

searching
I’m young and I’m aware that I understand little But what will not do is I will not become cynical I will continue believing in what might be a fantasy That there really are grand adventures and true love That even though its hard to believe, love at first sight exist I won’t stop believing that music can change the world And that one small person can make a large difference All the problems that life will throw out me The curveballs, if you will, I will knock out of the park Because I will always believe in a dream A dream of happiness, and joy, and peace And most of all a dream of love.

Dinner Time
A knock knock knocking comes at the door The young man gets up; puts his feet on the floor He answers the door and to his surprise It’s the young woman that’s telling him lies Leading him back and forth as she wishes Cooking her food but not doing the dishes He can’t tell her “leave!”, he’s in it too deep And he just can’t wait ‘til they go to sleep But in the midst of her cooking him food The young man sees that he’s in a good mood He makes her laugh and so she does him He sees that his cautions were only a whim Dim witted to think that he does not care Connections with her this young man does share.
