I am just a number
at least thats how I feel
nothing makes me dumber
than being told that I am
just another stupid number

what happened
or what's going on
or why he did what he did.

the way she's feeling
the way they're all feeling,
what I'm feeling.
So complicated.

when I cried
and you didn't.
while I slept,
and you couldn't.

why it happened there
and happened then.
What I can't do
and what I can.

why the world is this way now.
why my thoughts have shifted.
why it couldn't be different.


Why?

I don't know.

You see I'm always prepared
I'm always decided
I always know what to do
except for the fact
that I really don't know
how I feel about you.

This morning my green tea
It gave me an epiphany
That caffeine got to me
And man was I set free.

It's strange

that we're scared to be afraid
it hurts to show pain
and somewhat prideful to be vain.

Wouldn't it be easier
if we weren't all so emotionally insane?

It's strange.

I sat on your lap
while we chewed pink bubblegum.
I knew you didn't like it,
but you assured me you did.

We blew bubbles
until I knew how.
Over and over.
I made you laugh
so hard you cried.

My little arms
were wrapped tight around your neck.
I laid my head on your chest,
and I still remember
your perfect, sweet smell.

I yawned,
you stroked my head.
And you told me,
"Time to spit out the bubblegum,
and get some rest."

You carried me on your hip
up to my bed.
Although that night
all we did was chew bubblegum,
it was a night well spent.

Dreams are floating around in everyones head
we believe we can’t do it,
I’m not good enough is what we all said

We dream of tantalizing images floating by and by
and we wonder, why can’t that be me
oh why oh why

We walk by each other each day
the grass is greener is what we all say
we go to our beds and as we lay
we dream we were something different
we wish their was another way

You know what I say?
ignore the thoughts
pursue that dream!
look at yourself again
have higher esteem

If you never try you’ll never know
If you never fail you'll never grow

shoot higher and higher up in the sky
until one day you'll realize
that you were always able to fly
