why am i depressed
it is not like i'm unfortunate

why do i cause my own suffering
it is not like i have it bad

why am i like this
it is not easy to want to stick around

If sadness were a sport
an athlete I would be.
If running marathons
compared to running water
I might even be winning

If sadness were a sport
my parents might take pride in me
If instead of feet we counted yawns
my intense fatigue would be no bother
an olympian of depression I seem to be

tonight I got to see him
oh, he was beautiful
his hair curved to shape his face
his smile perfectly placed

we laughed and smiled
we giggled and danced
all i wanted was to give a kiss
but his heart was a target I've already missed

the night was young and peaceful
happiness floating away into the darkness
he was happy there with me
but with another was where he wanted to be

Oh so
Lonely
One letter from
Lovely
What I am when I think of you
I don't mind
The night is beautiful
But I'll be indoors
Feeling fine
A little lovely
But a lot lonely

Hey
I wonder how you are
A hundred miles away from my breath
A million feet out of reach
I miss your caress against my cheek
The light twirling in my hair as we lay together
Moonlight shining on white sheets
Feeling our chests rise in sync
I wonder if you remember as I do  
I wonder if you know *I miss you

Let the beauty of life unfold,
the colours fill my soul
I choose to let go,
my heart is in control.
Love with every breathe I take,
sure mistakes I'm going to make.
With every step a lesson,
to be more and more present.
Present to this light within
bright shining under my skin.
Each new day a choice
to let love be my voice
