Do you know how many times I’ve dragged myself out of this hole before? Countless for me to point out And I would emerge smiling and shaking hands with everyone Somehow in those priceless “I am finally moving forward moments” I am back in the hole again And I have to summon all my strength to drag myself out of the hole once more Guess what I am here again and I look around me and everything is a mess This time though I do not have strength to even at least make the hole habitable because It doesn’t seem like I’m getting out again anytime soon Help me

Help me
I hope that one day you will realize that I too bleed when I am cut. I am flesh and blood as much as you are. Maybe then, you will cut me a little slack and allow me to be human too.

Human
One without blame In a world full of sin he came So that we may not remain the same I hope you will give him your shame Because He is ready to give you His name I promise He will re-ignite your flame You will burn and on the streets his love proclaim

Remembrance
It always seemed like you liked me better quiet So I went mute in your presence It always seemed like you loved hearing the sound of your voice So I became the audience to your non stop chatter

Opposites Attract?
Your light in me illuminates everything good and lovely in me. I love me in you. I love me like you. I love your light in me.

Light
Clear skies What a surprise Not a cloud in sight Its almost as if there was no storm last night

Morning
I think at the beginning I did not believe it But I was there…in the flesh…mentally a million miles away Half of me excited, the other numb In a way expecting something bad? to happen? sigh …lurred me in. Finally I was all in. My guard down. My worst fears became true Another side of you I saw. And now my walls are back up again Even Flynn Rider cannot ascend this tower Its not that I do not want to let down my hair It is just that I have no hair to let down any more

Trust Issues
Why do you run? Why do you hide? 'Cause I know it won’t work Play it cool And say hello And I’ll smile and say “Hey” to you too If you ask me: Illusions run In the mind of the one Who is small

Why do you run?
Lifting up my eyes I start to behold Peace joy serenity How could I The world around me Offered so many solutions So many solutions How could I I tried and tried So hard to put Two and two together How could I Life seemed to better A little but still There was a catch How could I How could I have Missed you When you were Right in front of me Yah the two young men The young lady in the bus My lecturer at college My own sister How could I
