I knew of a place
Where the night met day
And the stars danced freely
Under a warm sunshine ray

Where the cold and the warmth
Would perfectly intertwine
In a hypnotic rhythm
Catapulted through time

Where dark and light
Could both peacefully exist
Just beyond the horizon
In an altered state of bliss

I knew of a place
Where the night met day
Until a time came
When it was no longer that way
Rainbows and waterfalls
A steady misty breeze
Different species everywhere
Hidden in the trees
A tropical oasis
A paradise of peace
A getaway from everyday
Where the woods replace the streets
With the sound of crashing water
She sings out natures song
With chirps and squeaks
Lows and peaks
Maintaining all along
A steady path
Amidst the jungles wrath
Where weak gives way to strong

You
In
triumphs and smiles
through
darkness and trials,

yesterday, today, forever

nothing is left behind,
  because ... darling,
wherever
  I am,

   you are always on my mind.
Wanting something to change
Wanting to feel some sense
of normality
Days and nights
not living where , I can  feel free to be me
I am asking reaching out
calling on a higher power
I can't live like this anymore
I deserve to be where , I can
breath and be at my highest vibration
Where , I can feel content
loved and have a
fulfilling day to day
Wanting it needing
some normal
Why does wanting it
give me the feeling
it's never gonna happen
What needs to change
so much this is true
for others to care
to desire normality
But you must know
my
wanting is real
Come on higher power
Do your magic
Wanting it Wanting it
You give me some
normality
at least a little

you taught me fear
and a mistrust of strangers
now I have no friends
and am scared of rollercoasters
The most dangerous hobby,
seeking of truth,
it'll drive you mad
