Oh what messes we create,
when we are a mess ourselves.
Contented to sit and wait
with our lives upon the shelves.
With shut eyes we wander far
stumbling through the dark.
Wishing on a distant star,
Ignoring what is in our heart.
So why sit idle while time goes by
And look back with wonder, on what was missed
Why not take the joy, and fly
Instead of blinded, with clenched fists?

One sure thing in this life is true,
Everything changes, and so do you.
The course of time will take it toll,
make you weak, or make you whole.
You choose and decide that fate,
with what you sit, and contimplate,
I myself don't have all the answers,
I just learn from my fellow advancers.
I look at everything as a learning opportunity,
good or bad it joins in unity,
Into all the knowledge I've gathered and who I've become,
based off what rules me and what I've overcome.

My life has changed in the blink of an eye
and as I look back at the years drifting by
I sit and ask myself -
Why?

Why would you go and worry about that
when the answer was right under your hat
when you could have just smiled --
and relaxed

Why did I let those years pass by so fast
why not make every moment last
I look back and just see time --
Passed

Now I wonder what I am doing with my time
Just idling by and making a rhyme
Or am I making moves to
Climb

How long will I sit and ask myself why
How long will I just merely "Try"
Will I just ask away, and let my time
Fly?

I was the victim.
I was the beaten.
I was the ravaged.
I was forsaken.

I had no faith.
I had no strength.
I put the smile on to cover it...

But now... Something has changed..
I never felt this way.

I am happy.
I am strong.
I am faith-full.
I am me.

I let go of fear
I let go of blame
I let go of anger
I let go of shame

I let myself see
The value in me.

Oh you boy,
Can't you see...
Can't you see what you're doing
Look at your heart,
look at your mind
Only YOU can change it.

You hold the anger, you hold those judgements...
against everyone, and mainly yourself...
Take it from someone who knows...
You have to let go,
You have to forgive
You have to take your life and LIVE
You can't just wait,
For someone to save you...


You and I have grown...
Over the past year, we have grown together.
and the most mature thing,
You have ever said...
was "I'm not ready"

Oh the things you have shown me!
Oh the revelations I've had!
Thank you THANK YOU
for being who you are!

For the good times and the bad!
For the Loving, for the Leaving
For the knowledge, and even grieving...
The tears helped to show me
That I could live without fear...
The pain, helped me get over, the fear of pain itself.

I am happy for you,
I am happy for me
I am happy for the relief!

Don't be feel sad, Don't feel strange
We love one another... its just the wrong time...
We are so young yet, my love...
Lets be the friends that we haven't had the time to be...
Let you be you, and me be me...
