If my dreams were real,
down before you I’d kneel.
Hoping again, my heart you could heal.
Could you take away the pain?
Will you help keep me sane?
I’d have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
In you I’d confide
and nothing I would hide.
All the while hoping you’d stay by my side.
Thin as water and think as glue,
no matter how tough, you and I would pull through
until that day when we both said, “I do.”
I wake up and scream
and as real as it would seem,
the reality is...that its’ only a dream.

Searching For Light

I'm living in the dark, no sunshine today.
And when I find a source of light,
it slowly slips away
into the vast darkness behind a cloud.
I'm running out of light,
and so I cry aloud,
"Time is moving too fast, leaving to soon!"
But as the Sun fades away
out comes the moon.
My heart races on, powering my mind.
The moon lights the way, and helps me to find
that the light I was searching for is not out in space,
that light, in fact, emanates from her face.

The Climb

My only regret is not saying a word,
keeping my mouth shut and not being heard.
The shadows were my friend so that no one could see,
the person underneath, the actual me.
Now I've had enough and now I will fight,
to come out of the darkness and into the light.
For the worst thing you can do is hide yourself away
so that no one can see during the night or the day.
So prepare yourself world because I won't stop.
I'll keep climbing the mountain, all the way to the top.
