Can I please Not go to school tomorrow My eyes are swollen I don't want to be seen They've been dried Poured out with Anguish Frustration Hopelessness Dejection I want to hide And the worst part *Who do I turn to?
I opened the closet and yelled at all the skeletons:
Get out of my closet!
I don't want your secrets! I don't want your shame! I don't want your ***** laundry! You have been in here long enough!
I started tossing out the junk, ridding myself of the mess, like ruins in an old tomb, Garbage that I have been trying to contain, useless things flying everywhere: Unfulfilled dreams, unresolved anger, old sadness, unhappy childhood etc, etc, etc....
Those bony beings started making their way out, grumbling because of their harsh eviction, clanking away down the stairs and out of the house
Well, that felt lots better but I'm not sure if they all left for good
I love you, It said, But meant nothing, That was before, Before the tears, The sobs, The shaking, Before the nights, Of loneliness, Of confusion, Of End Times, Noise blurred, Into one, In my head, Everything left to say, I said nothing instead.
So. Thank you, Because I remember, A little under a year ago when I was in love with you And it hurt, And made me cry, and now, I'm just loving you, so. thank you for teaching me the difference. And everything, Is so much better now.
Can you take all my pain? Bury it deep in the ground?
Maybe, a blooming seed of sorrow Will soon rise up out of the cold dirt And the sun and the rain might nurture it With mercy, they might not crush its fragile beauty
Can you take all my pain? Bottle up the tears and pour them in the ocean?
Maybe that is how the oceans were born From all the tears from all the people everywhere Who felt that the torrent of tears would never end Depositing that gushing flood of weeping upon the ground
Can you take all my pain? Write down all that hurts me and then set it to fire?
Watching the paper go up in a blaze And bits of it taking off in flying embers Floating its way up to the sky Maybe that is how the sun got its pizazz
Have you ever seen a swan cry? No? Always so graceful? A rose turn unpleasant to the eye? No? Always so beautiful? Has there ever been an ugly rain? Just drops of water so dreary and plain? Maybe you'll see a frightful sunrise someday? Or perhaps you only chose to see it that way Beauty is all around us For those with open eyes And with eyes so beautiful Surely it's no surprise You cant have missed the best of them all The very thing for which beauty was named Surely your face can't always fall Too blind to accept the blame The rose is a rose Day in and day out The swan never knows Of any thing called doubt The rain falls whenever it please Ignorant to the likes of you and me But one beauty is a work of love A fluid mosaic of life and song Not born perfect like the wing of a dove But shaped by years so very long Highs and lows of every day Like valleys and hills in your soul Everyone come and gone away Love and loss taking their toll See, unlike the swan, rose, or rain You could choose to be grace or pain You became something amazing Not a product of nature You can choose to take today And love despite the danger You chose to weave voice to melody Not like a bird oblivious You chose to make someone smile To be the best of us So when the world seems so dark and grim If into despair you're gazing Remember the beauty of life is within For you my darling are always amazing
When you find some one that finally fits Like a puzzle connected at the hips And your eyes collide with the touch of lips And your days filled with some happiness Hold on cause you never know How far it will go? How far it will go?
Where would we be today? If we never looked away Where would we be today? With a little more faith
Of course all of us make mistakes Of course all of us have to go away But just holding on is enough To take your breath away And hold on because you never know How far it will go How far it will go
Is this how far you wanted to go? Is this how long you were willing to wait?
Of course all of us make mistakes Of course all of us have to go away But just holding on is enough To still take your breath away To take your breath away
