When it comes to love,
never be the one
who cares the most.

There's no better way
to get someone to fall,
than to pretend
you feel nothing at all.

Distance will only draw
your loved one closer,
but you better not
leave thoughts unspoken.

At least not for long,
if you are afraid
to have that person
let go.

Wanderer
Mist moves through early morning
Swirling a top the remaining craggy Gods
Standing tall to form the Appalachia
PawPaw trees hang heavy
Laden with fruit, ripened by Eastern sun
Precious ecosystem sustaining what shouldn't grow in this hemisphere
What's left that has not been removed
By blasting coal extraction
Towers above us still, breathing deep
Guarding us in silent repose
Footsteps weave to and fro
Sweet grass brushing sensitive skin
My laughter echo's through the Old Oaks
Honey bees gather pollen
Buzzing happily by my side
We must protect this special place
Turn away from stripping her of her glitter
Of her shine
Clean air, healthy soil
She can recover, she will survive
We have the technology, ability and choice to use sustainable, green energy. West Virginia does NOT have to become a TRASH state due to mountain top removal and fracking. Contact KEEPERS OF THE MOUNTAIN, a non-profit organization that can help you turn your land into a wildlife conservation that will be PROTECTED from harm. Don't let our precious mountains be *****!!! Coal is filthy and unnecessary no matter what propaganda is spewed by the coal companies. We have a choice, let's make the right one!

I can't breathe nor speak
I wish I'd fell into a coma
And just rest and sleep.

I don't want to die
but a coma would be nice,
not forever but just for a little time.
Never forget
who you are.

Never say something
you'll regret later on.

Never do something
you know is wrong.

Never miss a chance to tell someone
you love them.

Never tell a lie
you cant undo.

Never cause harm
that's damaging forever.

Never steal
when you have the money.

Never fight
when it can be done differently.

Never do something poorly
when you know you can do it better.

After all
you only live and have
one life.

Cause my ignorance has became my best friend
Now the breath that I take
And the sound of my heart
Is the only song I hear
In my life
I don't understand what I'm talking about.

Lock me up
Throw away the key
Walk away
Maybe then will you understand
How much I'm willing
To wait for you
A song about
A fierce dancer
Moving to forget
A lost lover.

She glides swiftly
But strongly to the wind
She dances to every drop
And so she sings.

Ridding herself
Of sweet torture
Presenting herself
With her dernière danse.
