I'm done with hiding it.
You're like the air in my lungs
I need you to breathe
But I won't go down easily
I'll try until I turn blue,
From the lack of you.

I could talk to you for hours
If only I could call you mine
Tell you everything is gonna be alright
Love you, I just might

I barely remember you
It's been two or three years
You went on business matters
To another country
You practically ignored us
Gave us barely enough money
To ever support all of us
We lost our home,
had to leave everything behind
But eventually mom met someone new
Now I don't like him either
But sadly he's better than you.
He doesn't yell
Or kick holes in walls
I'm not afraid of him.
I can't him dad, or father.
I never will.
You may be my father,
I won't call you dad either

I held onto my mother's hand
As she lead me, bare foot
Into the cool water.
A man look's at me weirdly
My mother said it was
Because of my skin color
But I couldn't see
Much difference between
him and me
Except he was a man
and I was a little girl

He came to us purely by accident
A spirit from beyond the veil
He does no wrong, he is an innocent
His words are a song
Waiting to be sung
By those who remain loyal
Who honor promises made
His name has undoubtful meaning
An act needing to be remembered
He seeks to avenge
Those who have done no wrong
But have the upmost evil
Done to them
He brings forth Justice
As himself and as his actions.
He is a knight,
A skillful man with a blade,
A hero of peace.
Our unrecognized savior

Thundering, booming, loudness
Striking fear into young souls
Winds taking down loads
Rain turning up flower beds

I toss and turn
Through the night
My eyes wide open
The noise keeping me awake

I worry for tomorrow
The pouring rain
Pounding on the roof
Like a stampede**
Of angry horses

I wonder how tomorrow will look.
Will there be any sun
To gaze upon in the early morning?
Will there be any beauty?

Laying in the closet
Unused, unwanted
Collecting cobwebs and dust
Buttons hanging by threads

It looks like an overused rag,
Falling apart and stained
It has seen many a special occasion
and caught many a mess

It lays dormant in the dark
Completely forgotten about
Like an useless item
To be thrown away

I always wonder what feelings you have for me
Mine are quite obvious it seems.
Everyone knows, but it doesn't feel like you do.
I try so hard, just to make little observations
To see if you're trying to show
Just a little emotion for me

Can't you just tell me?
I want to know if you're mine...
I want to know if you and me exist
But I have my fears
Will you say no?
