Don’t let them get you down
Just turn away and look around
You know how hard life is
So don’t let them do this

You should know you’re more than average
You’re got that spark in need of a stage
You’ve got a voice in need of a mic
If you get that, what’s not to like?

Do you understand what you are?
You’re a wish made upon a shooting star

You’ve got the courage of a lion
So don’t let them get you crying
You’ve got the heart of a saint
So don’t you dare think to faint

You’re stronger than the big mighty shark
Even though you’re scared of the dark
You’re louder than the great typhoon
Yet you don’t get up before noon

Don’t you see what you could be?
You could be the one and only
The one to set the world a light
Not with flames but with your might

These words are trapped inside of me
I don’t know why, but I can’t set them free
They itch at the inside of my throat
Asking, begging me to sing that single note

A sound that cascades from the heavens
One that’s answering all these questions
Questions of life, love and death
I keep wondering if this note will be my last breath

And if it is, if this is the last breath I take
Then let it be, not a tremble, but an earthquake
For I want people to, not forget me, but commemorate
As I believe that my legacy is destined through fate

A fate decided through the eyes of those above
A life I would leave feeling proud of
Because even if I don’t make my dreams come true
I know that my morals will remained just, through in through

Once upon a time
I was yours and you were mine
We spent every second together
We were meant to be friends forever

Yet unspoken words torn us apart
Now I keep wondering when did this all start
When did we start having awkward moments
When did we start seeing each other as opponents

I keep thinking back to the days of yesterday
When we thought our friendship would never go away
But here we are trying to have a good old DMC
But we’re not willing to let the truth be

We aren’t the best of buds anymore
Seems we had surgery, ’cause we aren’t attached by the hip anymore

But I’m willing to try resurrect this friendship
’cause I’m not willing to up and jump ship
Not yet, I want to try harder and not sink
Its going to have to capsize before I even think

Think about closing my door in your face
Think about leaving without a trace

when losing a friend isn't an option
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
What if the person you see now
Is not worth a single “wow”
What if she loves too easily
But doesn’t have that kind of loyalty

Maybe, she only cares for herself
Maybe she is emotionally wrecked
Maybe she thinks to harm herself
Maybe she shouldn’t be seen a perfect…

’cause the pressure is eating at her
And she can only think of one single cure
A way to live a happy life for good
Is for her to no longer hide under a hood..

We’ve shared moments I couldn’t explain
Some of love, some of joy and even pain
You were my comfort during the lonely nights
Even if you went crazy everytime you saw lights

You and I were the best of buds from day one
Some found your craziness to be a lose, I was convinced I had won
’cause what came with your weirdness
Was a heart that was never emotionless

You waited for me everyday after school
You may have even acted like the biggest fool
And maybe you were in some ways
But I loved you any ways

So I’ll try not to be too sad that you left
And I’ll try not to consider your hold on my heart as theft
Because you were there when I was in need of love
I guess I just can’t handle that you’re now living in the sky above….

in memory of my pup named Roxy

I guess these happy times are over.
I no longer own that four leaf clover,
’cause just as everything was going right,
It turned wrong in broad day light.

My heart wept and cried and ached,
It try a smile which was forced and faked.
My body fell and crumbled as it lay.
For it felt as if today was my last day.

’cause my heartbeat echoed and trembled,
While its core recharged and reassembled.
My body capsized, left with no hope or wonder.
No need to do either about the future.

To those who have felt pain.

The crackled tensions drifted about
Echoed voices reached out
A darkened room with one ray of light
A couple danced all through the night

But then a blue rose was found and followed by glee,
Because the man went down on one knee
Fore, instead of thorns on its stem
A golden ring replaced them
