Moments there are when I'm high,

A feeling I can't quite describe,

Nights are the most lonely times,

But when the sun comes up I'm down again.

Quickly swept into the day,

The wind picks up and makes me sway,

Both friends and strangers will me to stay,

But I go home and I'm down again.

The highs and lows of now and then's,

My moods seem to swing on a pendulum,

I'll visit places I've never been,

But when I return I'm down again.

Amber Fly

I want to keep each moment, trapped like an amber fly

But they pass right through my fingers, no matter how I try

Seconds turn to minutes, days and weeks go by

These moments I am losing, I want to keep them mine

I want to keep each moment, trapped like an amber fly

Bittersweet

I'm happy to see the happiness of others,
But I'm afraid my heart can't take it.
Even so, I can't help but wonder:
If we were still together, would you just fake it?

Can't help but know that it was never real for you.
And it makes me feel like a fool for thinking you ever actually cared.

The Best Version of Me

Dear Future Me,
I have always looked up to you.
You make mom proud, which I've always tried to do.
You know what you want, and you know who you are.
You stand steady on ground, while you reach for the stars.
You are confident, and you love yourself.
You are honest, with you and everyone else.
You know your flaws, and you embrace them.
You know your dreams, and continue to chase them.
You make plans, then carry them out.
You set goals, and don't give into doubt.
You are friendly and kind, even to haters.
You crave commitment, and stay away from the players.
And finally,
The best version of me.

Pray Don't

Pray don't give me pity,
For it makes me feel so weak.

Pray don't give me promises,
For that you'll forget to keep.

Pray don't give me hope,
For I will hold my breath.

Pray don't break my heart,
For I will welcome death.

Pray don't try encourage me,
For I take things too far.

Pray don't let me try,
For I'll try to reach the stars.

Pray don't let me fall,
For the fall will hurt my pride.

Pray don't criticize me,
For there's nothing I take in stride.

Pray don't pay too much attention,
For I will shy away.

Pray don't take me for granted,
For I will always disobey.

Pray don't give me everything,
For I will never pay.

Pray don't give me nothing,
For I'll have nothing more to say.
