Sometimes you wake me up early
to ignore the cold
and embrace your warmth
you interrupt my life
and i just have to tune in
and listen
i want to be used by you
no distractions
i want to live for the cause
no excuses
and yet i still fail to realize
that my days are numbered
limited time
the people around me are struggling
but my comfort zone and i aren't done snuggling
push my comfort zone away
i'm here to live for your name
Hallelujah i cry out
you wipe away my fear and doubt
i'm standing on the ledge
now all i need to do is jump
because compared to you, nothing else in all creation
can trump
sometimes i get lost and confused
i put myself first
i end up bruised
that kind of sinful nature
is what brought along the hearse
there is nothing I can do
to break this dreadful curse
but in Jesus' name I'm saved
so now I'll live in Reverse.

Becoming brave I walk tall
Not afraid to stumble or fall
Dauntless I will walk the streets
To appease the wanderlust of my aching feet
No idea where I'll go
Or what the adventure will sow
Fear has no reign over me
Like a bird, now I am free
Explorer of the world we know
Like a flower my soul will grow
My only guide the moon, and sun
I'll break out into an all-out run
Sprinting past the fields of green
I will barely ever be seen
Disappeared into the night
Still a child of the moonlight.

I'd say you're my cup of tea
but I don't drink tea very often
maybe you're my cup of joe
you give me that spark of energy
that i need to get through the day

i am a restless spirit
everyday i crave adventure more
caged is no way for a bird to live
every freedom granted makes
me yearn for another open door
what sounds like song to you
is actually a cry for help
still feeling trapped
is this my home?
maybe i'm not even a bird
i'm a lioness on the prowl
bold and daring
dangerous
always hungry for more
adventure
or maybe i am just a girl
just a writer
trying to find my place in the world.

Fake
You put on a pretty face for everyone else
But you have showed me underneath the mask
Should I be grateful for that?
Because you unload on me
Everything
Constantly irritated
You're always a loaded gun
And our friendship is like Russian Roulette
I never know if or when you're going to blow my head off
Fake
Pretending like everything is okay
But ripping my head off when no one else is around
How long am I supposed to go along
With the act?
We have our good moments
and those are really good
but most of the time
you are a bull ready to charge

And I wish that I could write you off
as easily as I feel you do to me
but all I seem to be able to do
is write ABOUT you.

I can still feel
the phantom trace of your lips
against mine
and I am all too familiar with
the way your hand fits around mine
and nobody else fits just like you
and I am reminded of you when I stare up
at the moon
It makes me smile to think that maybe
you're looking up at it too
you are my night sky and calm ocean
i could get lost in those starry eyes
listening to the cool lull of the waves of your voice
i was the wind listening and watching
waiting for your next move
and like the night sky you disappear
and at times you went silent and that is when my heart
was the quietest
I was just a cool breeze
but when you talked you could hear my heart roaring loud,
trying to build a storm up in you
trying to shake up the ocean
being the wind isn't easy
not everybody hears my call
and sometimes I feel like you're a part of that crowd.
