Take the leap that steals your breath
Take the joy which you deserve
Take the hand that pulls you up
Take the chance to quickly serve.

Grey smothering static
Someone must have pushed pause
On my emotion remote
The bedsheets are my comfort
The tattered yet loved bear
Seems to be my only friend
Firm yet gentle grip
Leaving small red imprints
Leads me to soft couches
Leads me to ****** in the crook of my elbow
Leads me to holding an orange bottle
I never liked the color orange
Two little blue pills
”Check for improvement” they said
Oh I see improvement
It is easier to be happy
It is easier to smile
It is easier to laugh
And it is easier to cry
But it also makes it easier to fake it all.

*"The flower that blooms in adversity
Is the most rare and beautiful of all."*
I climb to the top
I won't ever stop
I may be a woman
But I don't belong to a man
I am not the same
Or even sane
But I have fought
Because I've been taught
Fight
Never lose sight
Of life
Take the knife
Keep it near
To turn on peers
I've learned to defend
Against those who pretend
To be friends
But stab you in the end
I've fought so much
To die by my own touch.
I will fight my battles
And make the world rattle.
I'll stay true to me
Instead of flee.

Hear the words
of a trembling parent
whose limbs you
must soon lay down
in the cold and silent grave
from whence no traveler
can return.
a few more days
and they go
the way of all the earth.

Awake my friends
put on the armor
shake off the chains
with which you are bound
come forth from obscurity
and arise from the dust.

Though curse and shout
the world may try
you will always
put up a better fight.

Music makes us lose control
until the beat is like a tsunami
surging through
and replacing the blood
in our veins
with an unquenchable fire
and the world is left behind
the sound fills our head
and our souls
those who listen together
are joined in unison
to rejoice in sync

Each time
you glance
in my direction
speak my name
or touch my hand
my heart
draws closer
and ties
another knot
binding us together
and this is why
when you
have leave
I have to follow.

I've gone around the world in my life
seen wonders and monuments
hasn't taken much strife.
The sights and the smells that I've had for myself
and the stories I've heard
I cannot retell.
I've been greeted by all, sometimes hugged
but always watch your back
'cause once I was mugged.

I'm just a little old hoppy toad
a sitting here in the middle of the road
my skin is yellow and my spots are green
and folks all say I look real mean!
I'm just a little old hoppy toad
a sitting here in the middle of the road
my one eye is red and the other one's yellow
and if the truth be told I'm a pretty good fellow.
I'm just a little old hoppy toad
a sitting here in the middle of the road
I hop to the pond to take a swim
I plug my nose and jump right in.
I'm just a little old hoppy toad
a sitting here in the middle of the road
I jumped in the pond with a great ol' splash
here comes Mr. Snake better get away fast!
I'm just a little old hoppy toad
a sitting here in the middle of the road
just right now I'm as right as rain
and the snake to this day hasn't caused me any pain.
