The flight was full
I held my boarding pass
I sat and waited two hours, feeling like an ***

Traveling alone again, what would people think?
I have no friends, or maybe I stink?

I really don't give a **** what they say
I'm going away, I'm going today

I get in my seat
Waiting for our take off
Sitting next to a man
With a terrible cough

I just want to sleep
But he won't shut up
Telling me his life story
I've heard enough!

I close my eyes
He continues to speak
He just won't stop
As I attempt to sleep

I wake up a few minutes before touchdown
The man is still talking
There was no one else around

He's been talking to me this entire time?
I guess I found a new friend
So I'm ending this rhyme

The rain was relentless
Falling angrily to the earth
The sky just opened suddenly
And started giving birth

I was in the air
miles high
Couldn't see out the window
I wanted to cry

Turbulence, they said
It will be fine, they said
How I wish I had stayed in bed

It felt like I was on a bumpy old bus
I know I'm making too much of a fuss

we will surely get there safely
This I have to believe
The plane was shaking
But there was no way to leave

I sat and I prayed
Until we finally touched down
I saw the beautiful rainbow
majestic and proud....

There was no need to worry
We made it through the storm
To a beautiful day, a lovely new dawn

I do have a passion to write
Even though I'm not always so bright

I write from the heart
That's where I start

I may be no good
You may say I'm no poet
That's ok, I already know it

I found something I love
and I don't want to stop
Writing is my lover
I write till I'm shot

And then I'll pick up the pen
And start writing all over again

So if my writing bores you
I will not apologize
This is saving my life
What a wonderful surprise

I had a sleepless night
Excited about my morning flight

I can't wait to go
Get the Hell out of here
Before the snow
I have no fear

I love to fly
It's my gateway to adventure
Some say I'm crazy
Always seeking a new venture

New people, new places
It's all a blast
No one understands me
I just have to laugh

Travel is like air to me
I need it to be able to breath

I'll never stop travelling till the day I die
I will see the world, that is no lie
They are boarding the plane now
It's time to fly and say goodbye

She's ready to risk it all
Lay it on the line
Just needs a little help
From this bottle of wine

So here goes nothing
She walks into the bar
The wine is kicking
Feeling good so far

She sits on a stool
In the corner of the bar
Sees the good looking cowboy
Smoking a cigar

She felt her face getting flushed
She'd never seen a body so buff

He gave her a nod, she smiled back
She was sure she'd have a heart attack

Now what the Hell was she supposed to do
She caught his eyes
They were sparkling blue

He made his way toward her
Her face turned bright red
She wished she had stayed home
Safe in her bed

He walked right past her
To her disbelief
He was hugging another woman
What was she, a thief?

Did she make this romance all up in her head?
Another shot or two
Then go to back to bed

Alone again....

Tomorrow's the day I get on the plane
This time I'm not going too far away

Three short days
But for me it's bliss
Just as good as a juicy kiss

I don't have a man
No ties to anyone
I can take off, I can just run

This time it's no tropics
Business you could say
Looking for my next home
Just far enough away

Close to the beach
Where I find my peace
Close to the stores
I'll never get bored

Right now it's just a fantasy
But it feels so real to me

So off I go
on another adventure
Maybe this time
A permanent venture

My best friend
I can always count on you
To be there for me
Night or day

You smell so good
Just a hint of vanilla
I'll never need another fella

You are always around
Never is a day you can't be found

I can count on you
To get me out of bed
When I'm tired or down
You fix the demons in my head

Your brown and beautiful
So sweet and warm
With you by my side
I can weather any storm

I pick up my cup, and drink you down
You are by far my best friend in this town

"Another latte please?"

The little people
In my head
I wish they would get tired
And go to bed

I know it sounds silly
But their leader is Billy
I wish he would shut up the rest
He’s become such a pest!

I try to not listen
But they are very loud
Very outspoken
Very proud

I don’t know when they took over my brain
I never did feel any pain
I guess we will just coexist
There is nothing I can do to resist

Where are my meds?
In a goofy mood today :)

I’m just sitting here thinking
About the coffee I’m drinking
How nice and simple life can be
We fight ourselves, when we deserve to be free

No worry, no fear
One day at a time
Life can be grand
Happiness can be mine

Don’t over think
Don’t complicate
Always love
Never hate

*And today could just be
The best day of your life

Everlasting love
Does such a thing exist
Behind all the darkness
And the smoke and the mist

I don’t know if I still believe
In true love being meant for me
For others, yes
For me I think no
I’m just waiting alone
Until it’s my time to go

Run
I want to run
As fast as I can
With the wind in my hair
Breathing in the fresh air

I could go for miles and miles
All the way with a smile
It’s what makes me feel happy and free
For that short time I can just be me

Her trip was only two hours away
She couldn’t wait to go and play
Not a long trip, but better than nothing
Get out of this town, start on her hunting

By that of course she means a man
The man of her dreams
Her diabolical plan

She’s looking for the one
Everywhere she goes
Shop-Rite, dry-cleaners, you never know!

They say stop looking
He’ll find you
She doesn’t buy that
And has nothing better to do

So she gets all dressed up and pretty
Works on her smile, turns on the witty

There he stood
She knew he was the one
Standing by the gate, she was ready for some fun

She looked for a ring
But there wasn’t one there
Maybe this was the jackpot
He had a beautiful head of hair

She moved very quietly across the crowded gate
She was on a mission, she was after her mate
She bumped into him lightly with her backpack
She looked at him, and he glared back

She started to speak, then there she came
His wife and kids, was she going insane?
How did she miss it?
There wasn’t a sign
This didn’t fit into her marrying design

He turned his back to her
His family was there
They looked so happy
It just wasn’t fair!

She got on the plane
Her mood in the gutter
She ordered a drink
And then another

So much for her plan
It was not working out
But she still had three days
To figure it all out

It is fear
That drives us
That defines us
That keeps us in darkness

We must break free from fear
Before we can truly live
Spread the truth and gratefully give

I long for the day
To be honest and free
Happy to be alone with me

We worry too much
It's fear's best friend
They love it when you get them together again

Worry and fear
Is there anything worse?
I think not
So I'll end this verse
