What if I hide inside my mind

what if I died inside

Would you have cried

or say good bye

if you'd seen my ugly side

Pain ridden heart

heavy like steel

falling apart

am I real

Its the pain I call hoping

its the will I call faith

that keeps me going

and you are unknowing

Of my fight

every day of my life

just to feel right

to hide my strife

To cover the scars

My bleeding heart

that scatters the floor

I put my game face on

But you can see

that somethings wrong with me

but can't tell what

funny, Even I

Don't know why

the teardrops like rain

that fall off my face

and the darkness that consumes my mind

Ohh I... I feel like I'm blind

What am I not seeing

am I not believing

am I ever enough...?

Enough to help

Enough to provide

Enough to show..

Enough to hide...

Enough love for you

Enough sacrifice

Enough knowledgeable advice

...Never enough...

Truth, Or Fears

Do I **** you with words unspoken

Does my fear leave you broken

Does my hiding cause you pain

is our fighting all in vain

As we strain to see the truth

Through this darkened mirror

Do we build regrets, resentments

Or are they our testaments

You say Go,

I say no,

For fear of being cold

for without your arms around me

the world soon surrounds me

it closes in

with all its darkness

the unknown that is my terror

For I am a sparer

I spare your pain as well as others

in doing so I hurt you both

I love one master and the other, hate

I must choose which to satiate

My own fears and curiosity

or our love eternally....

Hold On

Don't you ever give up
Don't you let go
Don't give up on the world you know
Just because the way is steep
There is so much more life to reap
You will gather together
Your joys and your sorrows
and make for yourself a better tomorrow

Are you really living
are you alive and breathing
Is your heart beating to the drum
Look how far you've come
What have you learned
What have you earned
what did it cost
have you lost are you lost

Do you need for me to find you
Does the morning sun blind you
The twilight is your time
When your true colors show
Its when you want the world to know
What is inside you
Don't think you have to hide you
Especially not from me
Please feel free
Feel the pulse of this life
Don't you see
That all the strife
The misery,
The pain and sorrow
Give you strength for tomorrow
So
Don't ever give up
Don't you ever let up
This storm will pass
You will ready for the next one

You will fly
You'll pass by
All the stress you feel now
It will teach you how
How to hold on and work it through
And it will show in all you do
Don't worry about whats around the next bend
Don't feel like you're falling again
You will never be alone in your troubles
To drown in your pain
I will pull you out,
Don't let the world drive you insane

Don't let others control how you feel
you are in charge, you know whats real
Don't let them sway you
Don't let them betray you
Keep your guard up
and stand your ground
they can never knock you down

But don't be afraid of me
I will let you see
All the pain and misery insecurity
The scars on my heart
what tears me apart
so you can see
how I bleed
that we both bleed red
And all of the things I have told you
Know I really want to hold you
We can keep each other
With our heads above the water
Knowing we won't falter
Giving each other our love and trust
even if the world looks on with disgust
Because we are birds of a feather
we are the same, and we flock together
Our hearts beat as one
To the same drum
And with all these words
That I spill on the pages
What I say never ages
Because the words ring true
Until the world is through
I Love You.

Those words aren't enough
They are said too much
There's no way to describe it
Especially in english
And there's no rhyme or reason
for the way that I'm feeling
But
I love you
I love you
I love you.

Mr. HummingBird

Mr. Hummingbird,
How tired you must be.
Do you long for rest,
Enjoy your sleep,
Rest in Peace?

Mr. Hummingbird,
Your wings are so fast,
Blinding speeds!
You Zip, and Whistle By
Unafraid, Untiring, of this world
In it but not of it,
How fast you fly!

Mr. Hummingbird.
How fast your heart beats!
Do you too, Face defeat,
Every day? No, Not you
How good it must be,
To be so free.

Mr. Hummingbird,
You just go on by,
How fast you fly,
But yet you aren't running..
Just Humming while you work.

I admire you,
Mr. Hummingbird.

Only You Could Do This

Going frontward, and backward
Through the times of my life
Looking at love, and looking at strife
Seeing what shaped me
Into what I've become
interested in where I'm from.

My love of all, as well as fear
Both trying to control me
But I know its love that can set me free
I must let go of fear
and cling to a love that's true
So I may find a love in you.

Beauty in all that you are
I see freedom in you,
You turn my ash grey eyes back to blue
You can light my way
How can you be so bright
I am soothed by your warm light

You uplift my soul --
You make me whole --
Only you --
Could do --
This.

Odd meter, Goes by syllables Stanza 1 Lines (1 - 7 s) (2 - 6 s) (3 - 9 s) (4 - 5 s) (5 - 6 s) (7 - 7 s) Stanza 2 Lines (1 - 8 s) (2 - 7 s) (3 - 10 s) (4 - 6 s) (5 - 7 s) (7 - 8 s) Stanza 3 is the same as stanza 1 and stanza 4 Lines ( 1 - 5 s) ( 2 - 4 s) (3 - 3 s) (4 - 2 s) (5 - 1 s) Funny thing is I wrote it and THEN saw the pattern :D
