My roots run deep,
I feel so grounded.
But all I want,
Is to be able to fly.

The birds swoop above me,
Almost in a taunt.
I cannot break these ties,
That hold me down.

I push upward,
Trying to soar.
But instead,
I only grow taller.

Love is a war,
We fight within.
A battle of will,
It strings us thin.

We love,
And lose.
The outcome,
You choose.

So be strong of heart,
And don't worry.
You have a long life,
There is no hurry.

Your laugh is gold,
And your smile it shines.
I've never met someone so bold,
So clever and refined.
You are truly a beautiful soul.

Your words are thoughtful,
And your lips so soft.
You are so able,
Your spirt aloft.
You truly are a beautiful soul.

How did you find me?
How was I so blessed?
You set me free,
You've brought out my best.
You truly are a beautiful soul.

Pen in hand,
Words in mind.
The race is on,
My ink runs hot.

My soul spills out,
Onto the page.
I'm winning now,
My thoughts run thin.

But just when I think,
I have it won.
My thoughts flood back,
A million new ones to write.

My hand is cramping,
But I can't give up.
Write faster I say,
But I just simple cannot.

It's been so long,
Since I've see you now.
Have you changed at all,
Will you still be mine.
Is our love still strong?
I'm scared to know.
Should I see you tomorrow,
Or stay hidden at home?

Bark bark bark bark,
Bark bake bark bark bark.
Bark bark,
Bark bark bark.

Bark bark bark bark bark,
Bark bark bark.
Bark bark bark bark,
Bark bark bark.

Bark bark bark bark,
Bark bark.
Bark bark bark bark,
Bark bark bark bark bark.

My gosh I'm a mess,
I can't think straight.
What have you done to me,
We only had one date.

I can't stop thinking of you,
It's impossible you see.
This passion that I've found,
It will not leave me.

I just hope,
When it's all said and done,
You don't break my heart,
But that you are the one.

You speak as swift as a current,
As you pull me deeper and deeper into your love.
I'm scared I might get pulled out to far.
Maybe I should I just let the water take me.
Maybe before I can breathe again I need to drown.

They bite you,
They scratch you,
They knock your things over,
They **** on the carpet,
They don't let you pet them,
They lay on you at night,
They sleep on and clog the hearing vents,
They pull off all of the toilet paper.

I like cats.

"Look both ways before you cross the street", so the saying goes.
I just wish someone had told me the same thing about life.

I stand there,
And look towards you.
You turn around,
And what do I do?
I look away,
Like such a fool.
How stupid of me,
I can never keep my cool.

What is the world,
But our own perception.
We take it all in,
Building it's complexion.

How can we judge,
Others by what we see.
For we do not know,
Where their mind might be.

So take a step back,
Look from new eyes.
The world can be so different,
If everyone tries.

If you believe I have limits,
Then you are the one who is limited, not I.

This world is a blank canvas,
And I stand ready to paint.
I choose my fate,
No one else can, but I.
This is my life.

You cannot tell me,
My life has some plan.
I haven't planned anything,
And there for you are wrong.
This is my life.

You cannot tell me,
What I can and cannot do.
I decide that,
And I have decide I can do anything.
This is my life.

I live not for a single person,
Or purpose,
I live because I choose to.
I live.
I choose.
This is my life!

Millions of thoughts,
Inside my head.
I'm not sure,
how they can all fit.
They keep piling in,
Like an avalanche.
I take everything in,
And let nothing out.

Do I have a limit?
How much can I hold?

I'm not sure home much longer my walls can stand.

The shake,
It's pain you see,
Holding me back,
From breaking free.

I carry it,
Traveling with it so,
My shine fades,
A single glow.

I worry now,
I may not survive.
But my life if young,
I have yet to arrive.

If you were the grass and I was a leaf I'd be the first to fall from the tree. I wouldn't want anyone getting to you first, I'd want you to spend the most time with me. Even if it means cutting my life short, it's worth it all the same. For how can I resist the temptation, of such a beautiful dame.

She speaks like the clouds,
High up in the sky.
She loves like the wind,
As she passes me by.

Her laugh like the rain,
Covers everything.
Her lips like the snow,
Are soft and up lifting.

I wish for her weather,
Every single day.
I wish for her now,
So I can be okay.

Men of honor,
Men of steel.
I ask for you this hour.
The time has come,
For you to fight,
Do all within your power.

Knights of none,
What I ask of you,
Is to not easily finished.
But please have faith,
Please be strong,
May your courage never diminish.

I send you forth,
To fight this war,
On this day so dark you see.
For if you don't,
My soul will die,
And I will not be free.

Guns blaze hot,
As men drop cold,
The river of blood runs red.
Some men still live,
The fight goes on,
But most are already dead.

I watch quick now,
As my brothers die
I have given all that I can.
It's funny how,
It took so much death,
For me to become a man.

I feel the bullet,
That hits my heart,
It doesn't hurt at all.
My time is up,
I've given my best,
I now head towards God's call.

A field of flowers,
For me to play.
I look towards it,
But them look away.

It's just right there,
For me to take.
It's fun and happiness,
Not a mistake.

But for some odd reason,
I turn and run,
In the other direction,
Away from the fun.

My mind will not let me,
Be free and soar.
I'm completely tired down,
Down to the floor.

A girl of wonder,
With a heart of gold,
Her brown hair so perfect flows.
Although she rests,
From time to time,
She never loses her precious glow.

She's beautiful,
When she sleeps,
I lie next to her so still.
I look at her,
Trying not to smile,
But I don't have that sort of will.

A sleeping beauty,
She is to me,
A girl truly from my dreams.
I cannot wait,
Until she wakes,
And we start over so it seems.

I stay up late,
To talk to you.
You brown haired girl,
You have no clue.

You do not know,
How much you mean.
Of all the girls,
You're the best I've seen.

You make my day,
With just your smile.
You may fall asleep,
But I'm still happy all the while.

I hope you know,
That you're the best.
You're truly better,
Than all the rest.

I met this girl,
A few weeks ago.
She's pretty and smart,
And she loves the snow.

Her smile like gold,
Her laugh like a dream.
You get lost in her eyes,
For hours it seems.

I wish I could tell her,
How how much I care.
She means the world to me,
And that I swear.

Captured by love,
Overwhelmed with passion.
My heart beats fast,
In a drum like fashion.

There is no solution,
I cannot win.
A moral battle,
A battle within.

Who do I choose,
Who's right for me.
There both so perfect,
Can't you see?

I feel so horrid,
Being in this position.
I wish I could fight,
Fight a war of attrition.

But there is no time,
For I must know.
Who will I keep,
And who will go.

I lie here alone,
My mind working fast,
But my body is still frozen and cold.
I'm iced up inside,
My joints frozen stiff,
I'm really not feeling to bold.

I think of fun things,
Things I could do.
Ideas and thoughts galore.
But I never do them,
I never try,
I rarely step out the door.

I'm trapped inside,
My house a prison,
My room the cell where I stay.
My sentence a month,
Maybe even a year,
I just sit and think all day.

Starry night,
Oh spacious skies.
Your wondrous beauty,
Glints of my eyes.

I look at you,
With wonder and awe.
I love clear skies,
And I hate the fog.

I stay up late,
To see you shine.
You're always worth it,
Every time.

I wait all day,
For the darkness to come.
I sit outside,
I watch the sun.
I wait for the stars,
I wait for my fun.
I cannot wait,
For the darkness to come.

I wait all day,
For the darkness to come.
I sit outside,
I watch the clock,
Time slowly ticks on,
Tick tock, tick tock.
I cannot wait,
For the darkness to come.

It's almost time,
The darkness is near.
I wait and watch,
The sun disappears.
The sky's ablaze,
Like fire it sneers.
I can wait no long,
Please darkness come here!

Finally it's here,
The darkness is here!
The stars come out to play,
With the moon,
And his friends the planets.
Oh how I wish they could stay!
Darkness don't go,
Please don't go away.

But in good time,
They'll have to leave,
And I'll need wait once more.
I'll have to wait all day,
For the time I truly adore.
I'll wait all day for the darkness,
And after that,
I'll wait some more.

I am a nation,
At war with the world,
I fight not with weapons or men.
But with letters and words,
I spit forth in ink,
With my trusty paper and pen.

My pen strokes like bullets,
Streak across the page.
My words like bomb shells,
Explode in sheer rage.

They make craters of hate,
Piles of rubble and dust.
But they never hurt anyone,
For I never share them,
Not even with those I trust.

It's a secret I keep,
Buried deep inside.
A secret of war,
I will always hide.
This war rages on,  
Inside my soul.
I am a nation,
And I cannot be consoled.
