You're a hotshot,
straight from nowhere.
told the firsts,
Cheers, lies have no fare.

It's only you,
Said you are the best.
Thank you for taking part,
by doing the self-tests.

Because you're a self proclaimed pioneer,
Never a second best.
you're unique
just like everyone else.

Congratulations buddy,
For taking the time you got,
Job well done,
for keeping your mouth shut

Father, you left me,
Drove away without a thought,
And a small part of me died,
While my tears would not stop.

Questioned what was wrong,
With me, or with my appearance,
As I thought was I not handsome,
Was I not smart enough for you?

Maybe if I had been taller,
Or, if I had had some special talent,
You might have hesitated some,
Before you left me in the dark.

Maybe, if I had more friends,
Or had been more helpful to you,
You might have stopped and then,
Shut the car off and stayed longer.

Had to now prove always,
That I was loveable,
I was someone who needed,
To be important to others.

Went the extra mile,
When others didn't,
Tried so very hard and hard,
To be wanted and loved.

Father, you left me long ago,
As if I was insignificant and nothing,
And I, still trying to be wanted and loved,
Work harder than the others ever will.

One way
                               Stood at the top of a knoll
                A new low
No waiting looks welcome
                               One ultimate perspective

      A thousand open faces
                                                     Enjoy the passage of time
You had me at
                        Today matters, darlin'
You had me at
                        Archipelago Lotus Flowers
      3 pink hearts, an ornament of a house
Your world in
                        Every
                                ­ Square
                                             Inch
Just for fun
                         Make it worth remembering
Just for fun
                         Love heals (hazy yellow dreams)

      These hand-forged items
                                               Absolutely ridiculous
Became beautiful earth
                           that happily shapes us
    
       Though our feet may leave
                                             Have faith in the future

A blank slate, nothing.
Can it exist?
Point to it please.
The best I can do is
make something
from something.

A blank piece of paper
a fold just there,
another just here
Became a swan.
Paper origami.

From nothing came something
But how I wonder?
Minds greater than mine
play with this puzzle.

A blank piece of nothing
a fold just there,
another just here
Became a universe
Stellar origami.

Rain falling on a mountain top
one drop at a time, dissolving,
changing, rearranging,
the shape of the world
and so we wear down continents.
one drop at a time.

Thoughts falling on a fertile mind
one idea at a time, dissolving,
changing, rearranging
the shape of the world,
and so we wear down prejudice.
one idea at a time.

Earth collides along a fault line
one inch at a time, building,
changing, rearranging,
the shape of the world
and so we build vast continents,
one inch at a time.

Compassion holds out hands of hope
one kindness at a time, building,
changing, rearranging,
the shape of the world
and so we build community,
one kindness at a time.

blood on our hands
knife in the draw
i'm trying to leave
but you want more
you want
me to be dead
falling to the floor
trying to breath
but not making a sound at all.

you want me in a coffin
not moving, breathing, talking or screaming.
you wanna see me go six feet under
and thought it's stealing your thunder
you stand there and watch as i go.

you want my face out of your mind
but there's no other place to go.
you want to stop hearing me scream your name
well what was you aim then?

soon i'll be out of sight
there fore my flight is almost over.
my last words to you were 'what the **** *****? are you sober?'
but now i wanna change it 'thank you for making the suffering end.'

You Are

Your the air that I breath, ?
The blood that I bleed,
?The words that I speak
?And the colours I see.

??Your the ground beneath my feet,
?My wings that make me fly,
?And my heart that slowly beats.
??Your sunshine on a rainy day
?And what washes my fears away.

??With you lie my secrets,
?My thoughts are always safe with you
?And my words i know you'll never repeat.

The "IN" crowds here, you
better steer clear for they think they are
better than you
The style of dress, language proves it.
They're just like peacocks; beautiful,full of themselves,
and just love strutting around. They sit and gossip and talk about things that aren't relevant.
The "IN" crowd annoys some, while others
worship them.
their influence is amazing yet they do nothing.
