People forget to draw the line between loneliness
and being lonely
The wanting of acceptance
can fog any mirror.
And to those who don't own a mirror
I applaud you.

I dreamt that I'd tell you,
  I dreamt I'd convince you.
I dreamt you would love me
and I too would love you.
I dreamt of perfection,
a dream so romantic.
I dreamt you would smile
and carefully panic.
I dreamt you would hug me.
  I dreamt we would both see,
together we're better -
  I dreamt you weren't choosy.
I dreamt up the ways
of how I could tell you.
I dreamt up bouquets
and a time and place too.
I dreamt that I told you.
  I dreamt that I could do.
I dreamt that it happened.
  I dreamt of a breakthrough.

instead i told you
at 3am   drunk   on facebook
*and i took it back the next morning

Dare to be different
You hear it everywhere
But how different can you be
Before you are just the same?

Isn't that how ideas are spread?
Someone tries something new and
Suddenly...it's popular
Like new spring designer fashion

A new year comes with new plans
"I'll be different," they say
And maybe that's true, but January will fade
Bringing back the old life left behind

For it never left you, just faded behind
Until you took its hand
And brought it back; your lost soul
But next year you'll leave it again

Dare to be different
Not what I would say
Dare to be you
For that's all you can be
