I guess that didn't go the way I planned.
Even with the wheelhouse fully manned,
Here I stand,
With my goal underachieved.
I guess that didn't go the way I planned.
Even with my feet on the land,
I feel like I'm only standing on a strand
Of the ideas I had before.
I guess that didn't go the way I planned.
Even now my dreams turn to sand,
And all seem so bland,
Compared to the rest things that have happened since.
Even though it didn't go the way I planned,
The results of the effort are still grand.
Sometimes you need for life to give you a hand
In changing your aims for something better.

Sometimes you have to fall apart to fall back together

They think I'm a mocking bird
-Singing a false song
They think I'm a siren
-Leading men to their doom
They think I'm fools gold
-Too good to be true
That is why I'm all alone
Sitting in silence at night
Because no one believes that a gold rush
Is any where in sight

Everything nowadays is so dark and dreary
That now it's becoming tough to see clearly
Bitter tongues clash as swords
Some in the name of the lord
Others in the name of what can't be restored
Everything nowadays is so miserable and bleak
That now our bonds of love are growing weak
Talking becomes an act on a tightrope
Some no longer know how to cope
Others no longer know how to hope

I was set free
But not by a lock and a key
But by one little word
Just as I had always dreamed...
It's been so long since I could walk without the shackles
I'm finally happy...
I almost miss it.
Funny, I never thought I'd say that,
But it's true
Now that I'm finally out of the cage
I don't know what to do

I am water.
I mold to fit into your life
But you never really care for the flavor I add.
I am a chameleon.
I fade in and out of the existence you know and into another's.
I am clear.
I seem to be see through, but you never really know what's inside.

I see you
On the other side
Of the glass.
At least...
That's what I think it is.
Though even if it is glass
Why don't you turn to look at me
As I scream your name
And try to break it.
Overtime
I found
That there was glass
Just not where I thought it was.
And overtime
I found
That I wasn't the one who finally broke it.

I am a villainous heroine
Leaving my family brings me sweet sorrow
Marrying my kin’s murderer brings me miserable joy
I am a lucky wretch
Paris’s devotion gives me belittling flattery
Romeo’s adoration gives me obscured clarity
I am a guide lost
Society rejects this careless affection
My heart is open to this insensitive empathy
I am loved hatred
I am an accepted cast off
I am Juliet

Her eyes a pool of liquid jewels
Drunken by only the most foolish of fools
Draw me in and weaken my legs
As if I’d devoured several kegs
Her smile that of an angel
The kind found in the old fables
Greets me warmly and welcomes me home
As if it’s the only one I’ve ever known
Her heart purer than gold
No matter how young or old
Loves me undoubtly and makes me lucky
As if I’ve won the grandest of lottery
How such a saint love a pilgrim such as me
Shall forever remain a mystery
Her voice lifts me from life’s misery
And shows me that all along she was the key

What kind of an ungrateful brat
Trades her family like a hat
After keeping her from harm
Making sure she is warm
She married our only foe
Bringing us such grave woe
My once pride and joy
Leaves us like a toy
All because of a son of Montague
Her time in this family is through
