One Chance
Lindsey McCarty Feb 2010
Everyday we're passing through,
Is a bit of our life stories,
The wonders, lessons, experiences,
The disasters and the glories.

When a day feels like it has no end,
Just continues dragging on,
The next day is sure to spark,
Your adventures will surely be called upon.

This lifetime's what you make it,
A creation at your control,
Make it a book worth checking out,
Because when your life ends, on lives the scroll.
Inspired by my... Best friend, Nathan Hienz.

A Whole New World
Lindsey McCarty Feb 2010
When the sun arises,
And the birds perform their melody,
The world awakens, the earth is open,
Everything in sight is free.

It grabs you very hesitant,
As it clings to you for life,
For earth is strong, and beauty stronger,
Cuts deep down like a knife.

The reality will pull you in,
No doubt you'll catch a glance,
What has become all around us?
It's not the same old song and dance.

Keep your eyes wide open,
Heart and spirit held up high,
earth is not what we make it seem,
It's more than just what meets the eye.

Forever
Lindsey McCarty Jan 2010
A word with no meaning
The excuse
The fear
The dread
The promise
The tear
The real word I wish meant anything at all
Forever...

My Cry
Lindsey McCarty May 2010
The pain and agony, the razor sharp tears
They pour from my eyes, my pain transitions to fear
Fear for our friendship, what do i do?
Those dreaded three words that have always pulled us through

I don't want to believe them
Not sure what is a lie
Feeling this useless
Just results to my cry

These tears of blood
Are all I can show
My heart is broken
In which no one can sew

So as the pain continues
I await another day
Blood is streaked all down my cheeks
There's nothing left for me to say

The Present
Lindsey McCarty Jan 2010
Times seem bad
But if you see what you have
Is the center of your happiness
You may decide to join me
In the land of glory.

Shine Through
Lindsey McCarty Jan 2010
They're asking for forgiveness
It's all they want of you
Time to be the good one
Let the light shine through.

You know what's right
So we stand up tall
Don't let them push us down
Don't let them see us fall.

For if they see us fall
Or watch us back down
The freedom will not rise
And all will not be profound.

Would You
Lindsey McCarty Jan 2010
If my time came
And I was ready to go
Would you let them take me?
Or would you tell the no.

Would you put up with that fight
If they took me away
Would you throw your soul out
If I couldn't stay.

Would you sacrifice your life
Just to see my face
Would you carry on without me?
Live in Heaven, live in grace.

If you would go with me
You have to take my hand
Follow in my footsteps
Into the Promise land.

Please don't be afraid
You're not all alone
Soon after we get there
It will be our home.

We traveled here together
Hand in hand
The pain and tears are gone now
Can't you see this was his plan.

My Life
Lindsey McCarty Jan 2010
Just a kid and there's no rush
To speed the process and just grow up.

Take this time, live in the day
Soon you'll see it's gone away.

Don't take advantage of being wrong
It won't be like this for very long.

— The End —
