When everyone said
dust yourself down
get up
wake up
don’t wear a frown
you said
take my hand
lay down
tomorrow
you’ll own this town

Empathize
Realize
All you can do is really listem
Don't think about what to say
Right now your words don"t matter anyway
You are saying to your friend you love them
Wishing you could hug them and be by their side
No matter what they are dealing with or going through
Sometimes listening is the very best thing that you can do

I am just like you are
Or pretend to be
Do you do this too?
Are you just like me?

Repressing ourselves
To impress one another
A regress of mirrors
Reflecting each other

i never intended
to take apart
all the pieces
you glued back
together

Lily pollens glow
rain of tears drops though it rained
petals glow
lily gleam and glow through it reverses time
night crickets chitter in joy
clock hand reverse twelve
midnight bell rings
willow leaves raddle like reindeer bells
pasture sound chitters and shallow
river flow down the stream fast
the wind made tree leaves raddle
so quick time stopped beneath my feet.

Incredibly charming
Tall and sarcastically funny
Incredibly intelligent and pithy
Everybody looks at him and women smile
Women flirt with him
Somehow that shy loner won the golden ring
She isn't pretty in the conventional way
Some said Pretty ugly in fact
When he looks my way there is still something incredibly beautiful
Yet, he saw something others never did see
Yet, he loved me

just because I've won for all these years
doesnt mean i'll win tomorrow
doesn't mean i've got the upper hand
I've built a mountain of luck
for having a quick draw
but the thing I'm defeating
can never be killed
in fact, only i can
this is my insurance
that i'll be fighting until i die
the question becomes a matter of
will it be tomorrow?
and can i control that?
and
do i want to?
