Can I escape,
From a world of terror?
Can I escape,
The crushing of dreams?
Can I escape,
The mess we call humanity?
Because if I can't,
Then why is everything I love,
Escaping me?

The permanent markers,
Not caring who I,
Really am,
Down deep inside.
But I just sit.
And I just wait.
For what can I do,
Over something,
That claims to be making me,
Great.

Or at least,
Greater.

Who can know,
When life can begin,
When all my hopes have gone with the wind?
Who can see,
The huge fee,
That seems to pile up on no one but me?
How can life,
Find a way,
When so many people are hurt and astray?

Immortality
What’s meant stays,  
quiet and sure.  
  
True love waits,  
even when we turn away.  
  
What isn’t ours  
slips,  
like water,  
gone before we know it.
....sun will rise tomorrow

Most of you don't understand,
The thoughts in my head are like grains of sand;
There are millions, billions, though small they may be,
I am not sure which one is me.

Forget about tomorrow,
Forget about yesterday.
Because you're never promised,
Another living day.
It's not about the hardships,
Just keep moving out of the way.
Because you're never promised,
Another living day.

If you stop,
You will find,
Who I am,
Deep inside.
Whatever it is,
Is a mystery,
Because nobody knows,
Not even me.
My tongue is tied,
And even if I speak,
No one ever listens,
But I can't shut my big beak.
It's hard to stay quiet,
It's hard to shut up,
When your mind is bursting,
For I cannot help,
But erupt.

I feel my past, It’s coming back  
All my hardships are dead at last  
I shall share my tragedy  
Of how it had used to be  
I needed help, no one helped me  

Another time I touched the moon  
I did not feel my certain doom  
“For when I fall,  
A certain call  
Will help me to not fear at all.”  

How wrong was I,  
Time had flown by,  
I thought someone would pick me back up.  
But I kept falling, my life shattered  
I cried out “Why?”  

There wasn’t an answer,  
I needed a huge hand.  
But however I was still there,  
Was what I could not understand.  
I felt very alone.  

My burden was adding up.  
I never filled my own cup,  
Of all my wants.  
I felt ashamed.  
I still fell in the darkness.  

I needed help  
Help did not come  
No one would help me  
In my time of need  
And I saw Him.  

I felt relieved.  
He called my name.  
I was free,  
Free at last.  
My burden gone.  

I am saved.  
Given grace  
I’m loved  
Wanted  
Forgiven
I thank God I never gave up.  😉

They want me to be perfect,
Who I'm "supposed to be",
But I don't want to be perfect
I just want to be me.

Am I in a dream?
Is this real life?
How can I tell with all this hate and strife?

Am I in a dream?
How do I know,
When up is down and fast is slow?

Am I in a dream?
I cannot hide.
School is a pit and I fell deep inside.

If I’m in a dream,
Why can’t I be bold,
When I know I know I can? At least that’s what I’m told.

Am I in a dream?
Is this real life?
I don't know.

If I am still alive,
Why can't I live at my own pace?

If I should be a certain way,
Why do others get to choose?

Is everything I do controlled?
You don't understand me.

How do you not fear
Your own minds?
What’s the secret?
What’s the hint?
Or is it that,
I’m just different?
It’s easy to speak,
My head is filled.
But to breathe,
At least normally,
Is very hard for one,
Like me.
