I wish I could play the piano.
Teach all the swans to dance.
I wish I could paint the sky bright green, now I encounter romance.
I wish I could go to work dressed in my finest clothes.
However; when I walked through the door at night, I may just get up your nose.
I wish I were getting younger,
I have a battle with the vendor of time.
But, that could mean dementia now.
So I guess that means I'm fine.
I'll just be who I am, just grow old gracefully.
Like the cream for the cat with the cheesiest grin, I guess I just want to be me.

I had a dream last night
You died again
I had a dream last night
And I had to survive again
It all still hurts
Even though it's been three years
It all still hurts
Come back again
I need you here again
Why did you die, again?

Breathe in
Breathe out
Namaste
Breathe in
Breathe out
I will stay
Negative out
Positive in
I am here
I am okay
I am okay
Namaste

It's been a while
Are we okay?
I ask this question every day
Who are you to leave me hanging
For the millionth time
What is left to be taken?
Well, this time I have the upper hand
Because this time, I never actually let you in
So go on and get out
It won't phase me one bit
I'm fine on my own
I don't need your ****

It hurts
You feel empty
Like no one will ever know
The pain is crippling
Takes you down in a moment
Impossible to stand back up
Where's the light at the end of the tunnel
The rainbow after the storm
The color in the picture
It's all gone
It's disappeared
It's empty
But you have to stand up
You have to hold your ground
You are important
There will be a light
There will be a rainbow
The color is still there, just open your eyes
Stay, stay, stay.

like an animal waiting to pounce,
the effects are disastrous
and tough to undo.
she’s dying to be noticed,
dying to be loved.
she’s crying at night,
it’s her lullaby.
there’s a mask on her face
that hides all the worry,
locks all the pain inside.
when you look into her eyes,
look into her soul.
don’t stop just on the surface.
she’s crying inside and asking herself,
why can’t anyone hear me?

It took a long time
You fought the good fight
But sometimes it's not enough
You always had a smile
You never showed the pain
It was hard to tell the cancer was even there, sometimes
But now you are home
With the angel's wings we all knew should be on your shoulders
Among the saints

Carpe diem
Seize the day
I know it's scary
I know it's hard
But you don't have to be alone
Don't get swallowed up
It's not your fault
Don't blame yourself
Stay strong
Be brave
You are beautiful
You are chapter that need not end yet
Carpe diem
Seize the day
Live it well
Let it ring

It was one summer
With many goals
One summer that allowed me to figure it all out
In one moment I realized what I want to do for sure
But in one moment I also realized I missed you
Yet in the next
I realized that I am one person that doesn't need you
And that I am one person that can change the world
All it took was one summer
One

It repeats, repeats
This feeling repeats
The need to hurt, to get this unspoken pain out
It repeats, it repeats
It repeats, it repeats
The panic
The shaky breaths, the heart racing
It repeats, repeats
It repeats, it repeats
The phone rings
Need to call, need to get help
It repeats, it repeats
She repeats, she repeats
Try to breathe
Find your favorite song, drink some tea
She repeats, she repeats
Song repeats, song repeats
I can breathe
Sing along, drink the hot tea
Song repeats, song repeats
Back on repeat, back on repeat
I'm okay
Just praying it will stay this way
Back on repeat, back on repeat
