You
You are there the first moment I open my eyes. You are there each time I listen to a song. You are there everytime I eat a good meal. You are with every movement I make. You are the first thought in all I do. And I plan my life around you. You are every heart beat, every tear, every laughter and every thought. You are my everything, my life
Me
I'm not always strong and I'm not always right, I can be selfish and unaware of the others around me. I make mistakes and bad choices. I'm constantly disappointing myself and fighting myself. I'm very open and shut down at the same time. I make plans and do things in an order and get annoyed when things don't go to how they where supposed to, but sometimes the planning and organising keeps me calm, keeps me sane. Sometimes it's all I can control in my chaotic mind. But I'm changing, I'm fighting.
I found a guy. The guy. The only one I've ever wanted. He's thoughtful, calm and kind. He's creative and beautiful. He is wonderful. He's my safe place, a reminder of how life should be, easy and carefree. Some days I don't even need to plan, I don't even think about, it I just live! I let go of it all. The craziness, the chaos. I just let go! I do things now that I would never do before. I'm finding who I am, I'm becoming me. He'll never know know the madness within, the crazy destructive path that love has steered me from. He'll never know how much he really means to me. He'll never know he is me, I am him.
In music school,
I had to join a group
in order to graduate,
so I chose
glee club,
not because
I wanted to,
or liked glee club,
but because
it presented itself
to me,
so I loved
to sing,
but I had
a terrible voice,
so one day
we were all asked
to sing one
of our parts,
solo,
so when it got to me,
I sang,
and everybody laughed,
and I was humiliated,
but now,
much later,
I realize
that I would have laughed,
too.
put on your internet mittens
'cause, Baby, it's cold out there
in spite of the millions of kittens
there's a definite chill in the air

i may never read what you've written
it's not that i don't love your wares,
i'm only eternally smitten
by outdoors, green trees, and fresh air

so keep writing, Baby, go faster
it's writing that makes writing great
if you stop it would be a disaster
so stick it, you know, it's your fate
Don't give in to the writing blues
light a candle for your magic muse
The light had gone from this woman
Her days now became lonely and dark
She would go to the shoreline
To repair what had been torn apart
She would shout out to the shoreline
O please bring me a new light, a new moon
I am tired of feeling lonely and dark
Will you please bring it to me soon
Just like that the gilded clouds did part
to reveal to her a new moon
Time for this woman to have light again
Time for her to be swooned
This new moon was most welcoming
with his arms open wide
Lit up this beautiful woman again
and brought out the pearl we knew was inside
The lonely lion with monkey ears
He always wanted to be strong
He watched the others jump and play
While he sat back and sang a song

The giraffes and the elephants would pass and nod
But oh, how they wondered about him
Why was he so quiet and unlike the rest?
Why are his ears not like his kin?

The lonely lion watched his brothers fight
He watched his sisters bring in food
But he saw the plane in a different light
And for that he was misunderstood

He thought he might be kind to all
Maybe find a man friend or two
He knew the others wouldn't understand
But then again, he was already different in their view.
