I can feel you here
When I'm alone and weary;
Even in silence,
Words are unnecessary.
I know that I'm not alone.

There you were, flying high
Soaring above this weary world
But sooner than later you fell to earth
And found it hard and cold.

Whyever did you fall?  It seems
You never saw it coming
And now the last thought on your wand’ring mind
Is to go and start running.

Among my my dreams
Strange and simple
I wish I could pop
A million pimples.

Two days, and nineteen hours
Are left 'till he arrives;
And I'd count the ticking minutes
If I thought it'd keep me alive.

These thoughts just won't stop chasing
The dreams I once believed;
And when I try to catch them,
I find they can't be retrieved.

I'm trying to stand and fight it.
I'm giving it all that I've got.
But finding that I'm not adequate
Ties all of my strength in a knot.

Rain doesn't just soak your jacket,
It seeps in and freezes your bones;
And all of the warmth leaves your body
As you wander bad weather alone.

But find you a friend, and you're warmer
If only because he's a smile.
Just braving rain with a companion,
It takes the edge off for a while.

So I won't let fear keep me lonely:
I'd rather run through fields of glass
Than stay one more day in my bedroom
Just waiting for sadness to pass.

Please let me leave

Mountains have risen up
that I created
by leaving my clothes in a pile
by tossing my responsibilities upon it
by heaping insult upon injury
by throwing caution to the wind
and by washing my mind down the drain.


Just let me leave

Too many times have I yearned to breathe
to inhale without holding back
to take it all in
to smell the roses
to take a deep breath....
and then breathe it out
blowing dandelions
letting it all out
exhaling without care.


Let me go.

I've given up on so many things I cared about
Too many of them were important
and now I have no excuses
except that I lost hope
and I thought I couldn't finish
and I believed it wasn't worthwhile
and the pain was too much to bear
and I didn't believe it would get any better.


Can I go home?

Finals week is taking its toll,
and nothing can make this better
except a big comfy bed
a mother's embrace in the morning
a hot cup of coffee in pajamas
tv shows I loved as a kid
brothers to goof around with
a smoothie when dad gets home.

I just want to go home.

My fingers itch in so many ways—
They wish to touch the stars;
They long to play my soul's heartsong,
And strive to sketch my scars.

I liked you first
when I realized that I wanted to be alone
but not as much as I didn't want you to be

Oh my word...oh me
I woke up at five instead
Of six. How on earth.

What are you doing?
Nothing is wrong here, nothing—
Stop trying to fix.

I'm a flame
Can't you see me burn?
I'm a fire
When will you ever learn?

I'm a match
Ignite me and feel me chafe;
I'm a blaze
Can't touch me and stay safe.

Sprinkled in your hair,
Every screen saver you had,
Planted in your yard,
'Till he gave them a bad name;
Then all of your flowers died.

Walking along, a sunny day
Just a boy and his dog
Smiling, laughing, barking, skipping
Further and further along.

Following behind her boy
The faithful puppy trots
She would follow him anywhere
Through all the shady spots.

As the road gets rougher
The boy knows she should go
She can't follow him forever
But his little puppy doesn't know.

He'll see her tomorrow
'Go home, girl,' he says
His puppy doesn't understand
She happily stays.

Stopping, the boy turns,
'Go home, girl!' he cries
Confused, the puppy stops
And looks into his eyes.

"Go!" he shouts, louder now
His dog winces at his voice
He doesn't want her to get hurt
So he has no choice

Throwing a stone, he runs at her
"Get out of here!" he shouts
And away runs his precious dog
Hurt and stunned with doubts.

She'll be alright, he knows
Her feelings they will heal
Next time she will know
His anger was not real.

I ate too much food
America's a ninja
Suddenly you're full.

I want to forget
That you even existed,
But know what I learned.

I'm forgetting already
And that really helps
I just have to remember
You're not good for my health.

Fire bore me
Death cannot keep me
Ice remade me
I am Free.

So I finally saw Frozen
Okay, it's pretty fun
But I really don't see why it's gone
Crazy with everyone.

They meet me in a few hours
And call us best friends right away
Excuse me, but I really thought
It took months, and not just a day.

plant a seed down deep
it must die before it grows
but then it will rise
and be greater than ever
closest and strongest of all.

Magic is in the air
When the delight spreads
But even then,
Febreeze doesn't do all it says.

Charles told me today—
But don't tell him I said so—
He really likes you.

No longer are you running from yourself
For yourself is someone else.

Fire and ice compete within 
Slowly melting my soul
Flames and freezing rain fall in
Trying to break my whole

This flare that I used to ignite
Has backfired in my face
And now the only respite I find
Is in ice's cold embrace. 

The embers that I used to burn
Were fuel enough to fly
They took me to places never seen
Instead of burning down my sky

I shiver and shake, racked with hate
And fear and love contending
Desire hot as fire, not
Any respite sending

In one calm moment, looking up
And falling to my knees
I see that I was not alone
Just consumed with me.

Excuse me sir, but
My life's been turned upside down
I've moved twice this year
You just stab me in the heart
And expect me to function?

If my words
Were musical
And had a beat and time,
How would all
The cymbals go
Around my crafted rhymes?

I watch as my emotions
Gently roll up and down
That was an understatement
They're faster than I can write down

They haven't had an Asian
In my favourite TV show
If the next companion's ginge, then
I'll **** Vincent van Gogh.

Sometimes I wonder if I should stop trying
Give up and let them all see my face
The side of me that is selfish
Wants to point them all to my own name.

You saw for a moment
The girl she truly was;
A glimpse at her twisting soul
Foreverafter gave you pause.

His glory reaches over the hills,
It spreads past the mountains high;
His glory pierces every heart,
It fills the entire sky. 

His glory shines in the morning dew,
It causes the birds to sing;
His glory makes the young heart brave,
It gives life to everything. 

His glory reaches past the stars,
It makes the desert beautiful;
His glory lifts the heavy heart,
Its wonder indescribable.

I depend on it
It keeps my head together
Music is my glue.

Go the distance
   walk the mile
But don't forget
   to walk with style.

I'm going to bed
Because nothing makes sense now
So I'll see you soon.

I blinked slowly
And you were gone like the time
Wasted wantonly.

Goodnight world of light
I go to spend the dark night
Wastefully, on sleep.
I don't care what I don't do
Or don't accomplish; I sleep!

Goodnight all, I'm done
I will see you at sunrise
Or somewhere in there.

I grasp at the wind
But all I really want
Is to touch the sky.

Dreamless eyes are closed tonight
Sleepless tries to hide the light
Breathless gaze at the ceiling
Helpless haze of the feeling

Sudden drop inside, hidden trap collides
Light rushing past, flight crushing fast
Free fall through centuries past
Release all the memories last

Drag me down, go on
I can lift myself higher
Than you ever thought.

Grown-ups were supposed
To be good role models; then,
You realize they're not.
