Friends are like family to me
They know when something is wrong by the look on your face
For me friends have always been there for me
I have had hard times
I want to say thank you for being there
You were there when nobody else was
You will always hold a special place in my heart

I get a feeling when im with you
you pick me up when im down
you have always been there
thank you for all  you've done for me
I know I'm broken but you can fix it

Hey, what’s the story and what’s the crack?
I am white and you are black.
God made me and God made you,
Respect is what we got to do.
We cut our fingers, we bleed the same,
Different colors but different names.
We have things in common,
We like fun and games,
We run, we jump, we hop and skip,
And let no bad words pass our lips.
Because respect is what we got to do,
Respect from me and respect from you.

She woke up to hot coffee
A beautiful morning it seemed
The sun was shining
The birds were playing
Little did she know
She would soon be praying
Her house phone starting ringing
The birds suddenly stopped singing
She heard the words
But they didn’t make sense
Not her son,
A car accident?
Words were all jumbled as she scratched on the pad
She had to go to him
No time to be sad
She raced down the highway
To the Emergency Room
Running past blurred faces
All full of gloom
She got there in time
He was conscious but still
Her little boy, she was ready to ****!
He’d only been driving for a few weeks
She got past that fear, but now only weeps
How could this happen
To the son she so loves
Here comes the doctor, putting on his gloves
She wanted to ask him, but didn’t want to know
She was hiding the terror, she just couldn’t show
He looked at her sadly
And said with a sigh,
It’s time to say your final goodbye
*She had to go
She had to see
The tragedy,
wrapped around the tree,

The night engulfed her fear
Her love lose did she dare,
The tree bled red tears

Beyond the brush
Shining through the dust
She picks up

A phone
A number
A message
Mom I'll be home soon

I feel like people don't understand

I hide how I feel on the inside

slowly I am dying from the pain

But then there was a light inside

It was you who helped me through it

And I wanna say I love you

I want to hear your voice
Chime through my ears once more.
Not just the echo
Ringing through my mind.

I imagine your DNA replicating hundreds of times
per second. Imagine mitosis exponentially repeating
itself and a billion trillion of you dividing
and multiplying inside of your own body
logarithmically jumping by extremes and simultaneously
dying as fast as you're made. There is not one cell
in your body that was there seven years ago
there is not one cell in your body that is not
resisting DNA mutations caused by your smoking,
you could have had cancer by now, but I watched a documentary
the other day and they are curing cancer with ***.
There are doctors out there saving lives and I
spend my time trying to figure out if I am capable
of love. I don't know the truth and can't lie.
