Makes us sing
about how we feel,
and makes us see in color.

Makes us feel what others do,
sad, angry, happy, and even peaceful.
Never destroy's anything,
hearts and souls of
friends and foes.

Makes us dance,
or feel energized enough
to run a mile
in someone else's shoes.

Makes us love,
Makes us touch our hands,
Don't let the music stop.
Can't let these feelings end.
Else it'll all be over
and we'll never see them again.

Why is everything so sad?
Why does it make me want to die?

People fight an endless war,
and make sad music,
making people cry.

No one laughs, because everyone dies.
Smiles are fleeting,
and tears fall often.

Stabbing, crying, dying, and
endless fighting.
Slipping, flipping, losing everything.
Cutting, sorrow, tragic suicide.

Why must the world
decide to cry?

In the end
    All we see
         All we know
                     is death.

And all we feel for
         All we think there is
                     disappears.

For through it all
                     there's life
      there's love, and
            happiness.

Before everything
         All we are
               All we have
                          is peace.

And all we can be
              all we can do
                     is sing.

Something that exists,
but can't always be seen.
Something that is felt,
but isn't always known.
Something heard,
but not aknowledged.
Something soft, and
Something warm,
but intangible.
Something easy to shatter,
but hard to destroy.
Something kind,
something peaceful,
and something steady.

Unbreakable, undefinable,
unconquerable, and forever constant

Hope

Watching my life go by,
I wonder why nothing happens.
The world spins and people rush.
I wonder why
they don't slow down,
or enjoy the moment.

The sun shines bright,
and the flowers bloom.
Trees are green and
I just laugh.

All I want to do is stop somebody,
show them how to enjoy life
to smell the fresh spring air,
to see the beauty of it all.
I know that they'll see someday
that there's nothing that can ruin it.

They just be happy and laught
till they cry and dance for joy.
Then we'll hug eachother
and fall in love.

We'll go around and change the world
making it a happier place
We'll end the wars and then we'll
run through fields of grass.
And my legs will be shaking.
and her arms will be trembling
but we both have smiles in our eyes.

Quick, fast, sharp, and pure
Welling, swelling, flowing red
dark and lovely
crimson deep
the kiss of a dying rose.

The silent weeping of a wilting flower
bringing the final snap
that ends a life.

Dark secrets must not be told,
else utter madness descend.

Unpredictable, lonely,
thrown in on one's self.
Pointless fear, insane...
alive?
Or already consumed by anger.

A dark abyss, forever empty,
where love is lost, confused.
It cannot be found, yet cannot die...

Fading from memory.

One day I'll be happy
One day I will cry
Perhaps I'll even scream out
so that I am heard

Tomorrow I will run away
so tha tI can come back
on another day
Today I'll make a cherry pit
to celebrate the eve of my goodbye

Because, you see,
we're only as happy
as our hearts will let us be
and we're only as sad
as the world makes us seem

So then on Friday I'll come back
after that we'll see
just how happy we all can be
Oh, we'll have a giant celebration then
because we made teh world see
what it's like to be
happy
