If I die before I shine
I hope my soul will finally find
A heart that beats as fast as mine
In search of something worth my time
A place to rest, A place to hide
from all the mess I've left behind
I'm not a waste
turn my back on that place
where I've made all of my mistakes
The ghost in my soul
Is reaching out for more

I'm so sorry everyone,
I feel i've let you down.
I tried to end it all,
And leave this world behind.

I'm sorry i bothered you,
But i needed someone to share.
My heartaches, and my loneliness,
and you family and friends were their.

Life was really hard for me,
I was all alone.
You were always there for me,
Family and friends became my home.

I hope you all forgive me,
For the silly things i tried.
But all that was on my mind,
Would anyone care if i died?

I always thought that when it came,
I'd be ready for the end.
By that time i'd be resigned and tame,
Death would appear a welcome friend.
But what if i still want to live,
Still want to live and grow?
What if i still have gifts to give,
And i'm not yet ready to go?
What if i'm too young still,
Not old enough to die?
What if i want to wait until I have experienced life
before i say
...Goodbye...

Spring appears in whispers
and hushed tones,
as the bellowing winter bows away.
Drowsy flowers come to attention,
waking from their sleep- yawning;
with heads turned upward towards the sun-
i watch with anticipation as...
The concert begins.

i'm telling you.
the clouds were meant for the ground.
but they hung themselves.

Sometimes,
I count the reasons
Why i love you so
But i can't count as far
As it will let me go
I love you
For a million reasons
More than everything
I love you as you are.
