Dogs are barking
Though none to be found
You're stuck in your cubicle
Devoid of all sound

The radio plays
But a voice yells in your ear
It's not part of the song
The one you know so dear

Sitting on the sofa
Just reading a book
Your names been called
You turn frantically to look

Alone everytime
You just know you're losing your mind
Perhaps you are correct
These voices say inside your head...
Or is it the ghosts of the past coming for you?

People like you,
The good people,
They always die.

And the bad people,
They do too.

But the weak people,
Like me.

We have inherit
The Earth.

Sometimes it's good to be scared.
It means you've still got something to lose...

They say you dont know
What you got til its gone,
They say that your
Darkest hour comes
Before ya dawn.

Little girl, little girl
Can you still remember your dream?
Little girl, little girl
Are you going to be the sun and gleam?

Teenage girl, teenage girl
Why are they always being mean to you?
Teenage girl, teenage girl
Can you tell me what I should do?

Teenage girl, teenage girl
Why did you leave me here alone?
Teenage girl, teenage girl
You left your comrade in war zone.

Teenage girl, teenage girl
What's it like up there in the skies?
Teenage girl, teenage girl
Why did we have to say our goodbyes?

Teenage girl, teenage girl
I wonder do you see me near you?
Teenage girl, teenage girl
I have a degree that is near due.

Teenage girl, teenage girl
I'm so sorry you can't ever age
Teenage girl, teenage girl
I'm so sorry there's no new page.

Adult girl, adult girl
I don't know if you exist
But I miss you.

He fell asleep on the train tracks.
Whether intentional or accidental.
He laid right between the cracks.
Society was always so judgemental.
He chose to sleep on the train tracks.
Carried memories that were sentimental.
He fell asleep on the train tracks.
A light appeared at the end of the tunnel.
He chased the light and left the cracks.
Now he sleeps at home in a bed.
Regretting that he ever slept on the train tracks
Prompted by someone for me to write this. I am not suicidal, but I watched a man tried drinking his problems away at a train station and it honestly scared me.

I write about you
In the back of my hand
On the margins of my notebook
Between the lines of the day's lecture

I write about you
When the morning sun reminds me
Of all the times that have been in vain
And of all the kisses I wish I could give you

I write about you
Because you are somewhere out there
And all that I am left with
Is the memory of whatever we might have had

Realizing now that I'm not okay, and that's okay
The colors
do not
betray
my sight,
boasting
while dancing
with the light.
Artisan's skill
that celebrates
a canvas
of heaven
to create.
Oh colors shine
so deep and true,
draw me closer
my God,
to you.
