And here.
I have nothing to say.
Words of advice?
Or only play?
Listen to your heart.
Hear the beat.
Feel the rhythm.
No taking a seat.
A round of applause.
For your little show.
You are nothing,
Like you said so.
I have faith.
But very little.
I have given up.
Only as much as I was able.
You are absent.
Can't you hear?
It's so loud.
And so very clear.
WAKE UP, I SAY.
You little philistine.
Show yourself.
Cut the morphine!
Snap to reality.
You over-sized coward!
Sway what your mother gave you.
Before you get martyred.
Not by me.
But by your own self.
You have to help me.
Because I can't help you by myself.
Life is like a button up shirt.
Sometimes it can get off track,
But although it may take time, it can be fixed.
Sometimes you can miss a button entirely.
But even I can figure that one.
Sometimes you can lose a button.
But with a tiny needle and thread, no sweat.
Sometimes you may not be able to find your button,
But I'm sure someones got an extra laying around.
I know I do.
So hey, I'm here for you. :)

oh absolute value
how you make life simple.
you turn minus to plus
without making a ripple.

like jesus you absolve
the sins of negativity.
with just two little lines
you help with lifes positive proclivity.

oh absolute value
you dont make me blue.

I’m on everybody’s side
but no one’s on mine.
I give
while everyone takes.
I weep with those weeping
but everyone’s rejoicing.
I rejoice with those rejoicing
but everyone’s weeping.
I listen while
everyone speaks.
I speak
to walls.
I sing
to trees
because they know how it feels
to be unheard
