Most of the time daddy 'ain't there
Momma don't seem to care
Your friends just wanna bash
You wanna run away but you're outta cash
Baby, don't collapse
Your almost there, don't crash
I know it's all happening real fast
Search for God's hand to clasp
Find a better way to cope
Stop smokin' all that dope
Find a reality that's easier to grasp

Little kids are the ones who always ask,
Where did you get those scars?
"My cat scratched me"
Is my favorite reply
They look puzzled at first
As if they're wondering how the cat scratched me
With such straight lines.
I don't have the heart to say I'm lying.
Then they smile and walk away
Going about they're merry day.

I love how rain sounds when it taps on your window
It always seems as though it's missed you
When it pours it seems like it's crying tears of joy
I get goosebumps
When I hear the sound
I think of you
A thousand tiny little taps that could mean a thousand tiny different things
When it rains,
Do you think of me too?

All I want is to skip past the feeling like ****
Grow up, be something
I want the potential that people tell me I have
To turn into something big
I want the scars to fade
I want to be happy someday
And even if that's ALL that keeps me going
I just might be okay

There is something incredibly peaceful
About watching someone do something their addicted to
Watching how a shaky hand injects a needle ever so calmly
How beautiful she looks taking that first drag on a much needed cigarette
The relief you see in his eyes when he swallows that bottle
The idea of skinny as her finger is down her throat
You can't help but want to feel what they feel
The release
The complete and utter dismissal of all worries
And just for a moment
Life isn't as hard as it seems to be

There is a certain time
Where we experience a pain we can't escape
A pounding head
A sort of burning ache
And in these times we curl up
Take medicines to make ourselves feel numb
When all we need to do is pray to God
He feels your pain and knows it all
He will tell you what to do
Pray to God and you can't lose.

I would just like to say that I've seen
All the world God has given to me
I see the trees
The birds
The sky
God made them for me,
I wanted to ask him why.
The hugs
The babies
The mommies and daddies
God made my world so that I'd make him happy
But not in a selfish and greedy way.
I love my God
He brightens my day
The rain
The clouds
The sun up high
I asked for a patch and my Lord gave me a sky
He says he will deliver and I know this to be true,
He says he will deliver me and you.
