I don't get why they dress up on Sundays
to be taught to be kind to one another
Then they go behind their backs and stab one another
I don't get why they stress so much about things they must control
and why they can't just drop all that anger and let things roll

I don't get why they think there is only one way to be happy
and if you don't agree with them they want you to feel ******
I don't get why we watch the ones take the things we wish we had
we were raised not to touch those things or we will feel bad

But all I know is there is only one thing you can do
Is take a deep breathe and simply just Be You

The Leaves are falling, but I must leave.
The Bees stopped being, but I must be.
The air has grown cold, yet I hold.
The keys to unlock, the door for my New Clock.

A million reasons why I'm torn up inside
Awake is to sleep as to live is to have died

You can't cross the other side if there wasn't a gate
And you can't feel love if there wasn't any hate

So you'll keep on joking about me  
So you'll keep on pointing your finger at me
So you'll keep on whispering about me but you don't know me
So I'll keep looking the other way-
Now I see them laughing at you
Now I see them pointing their fingers at you
Now I see them whispering about you but I don't know you
So I'll keep looking the right way, and I stick up for you.
*I hope you're okay.

I guess it was the way he got what ever he wanted
Or was it the confidence he flaunted
I admired him so
He was the coolest fellow

But numbers turned him mean
fast cars, hot girls, big muscles, eat clean
But you can't hate him He's living his Dream
He want's what he see's He chases the Green

He knows what he's doing
Sometimes to cut-throat to be  
but I still miss my little Brother who was friends with me

Can you love a woman?
Then show me how you do.
Are you really all that big and bad?
Well, I like a man who knows I'm the best he's ever had.

They say we settle for the love we think we deserve, So I keep patiently waiting till It feels like the Universe is complete and our love is right that I feel swept off my feet.
I feel it can be the best with you, but I cant help but wonder is it there inside of you? Maybe he has that special desire just for me or maybe he is all that he is and Its not meant for me. But I'll keep patiently waiting till more pages of him unfold, because I know the deeper you go the better you know and better you know the more he will show and the more I will see what has been hiding deep far beneath for me. <3

I have a bad habit when I get angry I don't respond,
Silence is peace to me.
Sometimes after a long day, I talk and think aloud to myself,
I am myself's best friend.
To escape my own problems I indulge in Celebrity Gossip,
One man's junk is another man's treasure.
I am my own Beautiful with every quirky detail.<3

Dumbfounded by a ****** scene
she’s never witnessed heartbreak before
betrayed, intruded,
left cold by her ally
emotions struck frozen to her core
looked down at a wretched scene
her sunshine was demolished
Twas' scattered all over the floor
no choice but to gather up what laid broken
Her strength showed by not starting a ****** war.

Success is in the eye of the beholder
What you see in your dreams doesn't stop the more you get older

Success to me, is being kind to everyone you meet
It's not being the hottest on the street

Success is not attending the best University
Because we all know you're the one owing money in the city
  
Success is in the eye of the beholder

I find myself in a dark place
Their whispers are telling me to come and embrace
Why do I feel like I'm falling from grace
I'm just too tired and done with the chase

truth is
you deserve the finer things in life
you want a road trip with the love of your life
you want to rock out on the dance floor and still be a wife
You want to be protected by your one and only
you hate the thought of all these fake homies
you keep the ones you value close to your heart
you never let anyone know you are smart
truth is you just want your life to start <3

I'm just tired of being sad, I'm tired of my whole feeling bad, a feeling I'm oh so familiar with, It gets old, you don't wanna grow old with this feeling that embody's your mold.
    
     You found a way to escape the pain- But you can't run from yourself when you start to rain <3
    
     You look for the rainbow, but you already know, there is no *** of gold, and you realize bigger lies that are still being told. You're stuck in this feeling of confusion, can't depict what's real or allusion.
  
     And you don't know which way to go from here, so away from people you stay clear. It's not the World you fear, It's all the things you don't care to hear.

If you're gonna rule a Kingdom,
there's only gonna be one King
That's the message some think
But if you're playing with me, don't blink-
Oh Darlin, don't you remember
The time I won back in December?
All Pawns have the chance to rule the dance floor-
Sometimes it's the little one's that really score

Am I wasting too much time learning my computer things at work,
stuck behind my desk, I don't know how to twerk.
Do you ever miss me from far away
But I guess only time will say.
Would we ever play around again the same
Just me and you- not chasing the fame.
I bet you didn't realise we're all after some type of glory,
And when I finish my book, you'll remember my story.

We all invest our valuable time into something we passionately care about,
I just invested in the wrong person is all.

A guy can make you believe he loves you, when he really doesn't.
A girl can make you believe she doesn't love you, when she really does.

"If I had the man for me,
He would be out of this World,
He'd taking me dancing,
and around the Plantes we'd Swirl,
I could be his Wanderlust girl,
Together we could inhale the Galaxy,
We'd see the Universe,
Like New York from a -Taxi"*

I'm so glad he found a one of a kind
The both of you must share a beautiful mind
When you two are together
Don't you feel like you'll never fall behind?
Enjoy All your years to come
You might not be able to hit rewind.

And when we become of age,
Who are we really when we are not with the ones who raised us? Who shelterd us? Protected us? The ones who stood by us through all our mistakes. The ones who helped us get back out there and fight another day. The ones we'd go home to and laugh the night away ? Who are we when we're all alone in this big, dark, empty, yet busy world around us? Is it then when we're facing demons alone we discover what our core selves are capable of? Or is it then we realize that we are who we were raised with, and with out them, it's just one step harder trying to figure out who we were and where we belong.

Like the Sun that sets,
Every night and morning,
Time can heal,
Even your darkest morning.

I can see the pics of you with her in bed
I wish I could erase all of you from my head

Time goes on
but my heart won't move along

There is no word for the pain I feel
but this is my life and the facts are real

I thought my parents raised no fool
seems I'm the one who got schooled

I wish I could erase her from my mind
But her face on yours is so unkind

I keep telling myself I am much stronger
But I'm breaking at the knees I can't fight much longer

When something you love gets swiped from under your nose
We all just move along and say that's just how the story goes

You're just a silly stupid tool
And I'm just a silly stupid fool
