Life doesn't often give you gold.
It gives you sugar, which dissolves quickly.
After it's gone, it leaves an odd taste in your mouth,
Until life decides to give you another dose.

That's why sugar's more precious than gold.

Fruit is very sweet.
It can also be **** though.
But then so is life.

Awkwardly I stand my ground.
Awkwardly I'm standing there.
Should I smile? Should I frown?
Awkwardness is in the air.

Awkward in the morning fog.
Awkward in the evening light.
I've been awkward all along.
Though I think that I'm alright.

I've got lots of awkward friends.
We are awkward every day.
The awkwardness it never ends.
But together, it's okay.

Awkward I am, but I'm proud.
To be awkward is a gift.
I don't have to make a sound.
I can give the mood a lift.

Though I'm awkward I still smile.
There's much to be happy for.
I'll be walking down the isle.
Awkwardly and then some more!

There's no point being ashamed.
If you're awkward, please be proud.
If you're awkward and get blamed.
Just awkwardly smile and say real loud:

"I am awkward, but that's me!
And that is how it's supposed to be.
So come and be awkward with me.
If you try it, then you'll see!"

He cut through her heart with a blade ice,
His love had fled on a raven’s wing.
Under the shadow of his sacrifice,
A deep crevice swallowed everything.

A fated love doomed at the very start.
A love to burn in an icy flame.
Condemned by the blood of a frozen heart,
The death of light surely was to blame.

The love would exist in an empty crypt.
The will of the fates spoken too soon,
As if printed upon a hallowed script
On a hill she sat beneath the moon

He would find her there, that was to be true,
He would crush her heart without a thought
The flower’s petals, alas, far too few.
The maiden’s sorrow he cruelly brought.

As though her fragile heart were made of glass,
It shattered under his icy spell.
Her identity scattered through the grass.
Of her no more one would ever tell.

Although he did sit and delicately,
Retrieve the pieces of his true love.
Gone from the world she had definitely,
Long vanished into the world above.

But he as well had gone from the dark earth.
And though the two had gambled with death,
There can be not death if there is not birth,
Again they rose, unified in breath.

The love had been fated and it was doomed,
But after the dark comes always the light.
The promise of life, ahead of them loomed.
No hate versus love, nor wrong versus right.

Those few who survive the disease,
return to life stronger.

Although more wary and unforgiving than ever,
they return.

And they are stronger than before.

My eyes are drooping.
I am getting quite sleepy.
The night is now here

Water dripping down the wall
chair is tipping, I might fall
water dripping on my head
how I wish that I was dead

Clock is ticking way too slow
Can't be 1 o clock I know
Clock is lulling me to sleep
Time so slow I'd like to weep

Flip through my book page by page
I'm sure reading's all the rage
Flipping pages, nothing new
Must be something else to do

I've been here a thousand years
Drowning in my own shed tears
How long I've been in this room
Sitting, drowning in the gloom.

How I wish that I was out
Roaming, running all about
I wish I could change the world
Someday my flag will be unfurled.
