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.

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.

her heart
laid broken
at the deepest depths
surrounded
by regret
and a smothering
blanket of pain
to tired
to scared
to open her eyes
or uncover
her bleeding ears
swearing
on the very fibers
of her being
that she
would never
trust anyone
ever again
she grew back
but oh
was it twisted
and cold
her heart
solidified
into
an unbreakable
fortress
armed
and poised
vowing to never
be a fool again
until
a small arrow
sailed over
the mighty
stone fortress
and pierced
her open heart
snarling
she hastened
to reach out
and defeat
the intruder
but the arrow
held firm
twisting and
crushing
the fortress
of stone
until her heart
was opened
once more
and the two
hesitantly
approached
each other
slowly surrendering
their walls
and joined
in unity
into one heart
stronger than
the forces
that had once
been able
to tear theirs apart.
