We wallowed in the valleys of the opal flowers, they danced until they showered into a storm, unlike the norm of others, they stood real still, then twisted until, their roots were in one another's. they grew real high into the sky, the clouds blew by, we couldn't believe what we were seeing, the opal flowers powerfully beaming, but then again they got real still, and the air got chill, was I going insane? The flowers turned into a hurricane! But they didn't move, they did this for a moment then it went askew, right in front of my eyes, i watched the opal flowers own demise. They twisted too much they turned to dust, but it fell gold and blue, with hints of purple too, and we tried to take some but the dust can't be moved, well life's a mystery, who's to say what is fair, no one can pick the opal flowers but they are still right there

Am I the only one who feels like a hermit in a shell,
Keeping to myself and escaping from hell,
Wanting to stay in all I can,
I don't even want to go out if they gave me a hand.
It's easy to misinterpret, I know it's hard to understand.
I feel like I don't belong on this land.
This earth, this here, this atmosphere, this fire, this air, this waters not fair.
How could I trust, the humans here,
scary and cause so much fear, like the devils inside them and bringing him near,
So I stay to myself, like a hermit in its shell, am I the only one who feels this way, I will never tell.
I don't want to leave, I just want to stay, inside my thoughts, every day, I'm safe here, can't run away,
My own lifeguard, here to save the day.
It's easy to misinterpret, it's hard to understand, I kick myself when I fall down then I  give myself a hand.
I need to let down some barriers and knock down some walls,
Energy needs released, can you feel it at all?

There's some giants, who are shunned for being defiant, they sent tigers, they sent lions just to see if they could find em. They killed one, killed two, giants not sure of what to do, killed three, killed four, could there be any more? Killed 5 killed 6, how do they all fall for the tricks, it's sad to say that till this day, the giants are still shunned, their hearts at bay, so they stay, hiding from the sun, and like these creatures, we have features that aren't so much fun, but we lie so well, no one could ever tell, that we wear the same shell, were quite the same, but if they knew, they would hunt us too, and we'd only have ourselves to blame.

During the day we have light and shadows, in the night we have darkness and stars.
No matter what time of the day it is, or what day, cause everyday, you got to remember you have to have a little bit of darkness to appreciate the light.

When I'm gone I'll be in the land, I'll be in the wind, I'll be in the sand. I'll be in the the leaves, and in the trees, I'll be gone but I'll still be here, you may think I'm far but I'm really near. Even your prayers I can hear, know there's nothing to fear. I want you to smile because it's not the end, we'll rejoice when we meet again.

Everyone's a critic but they got nothing to critique,
I punch my hand through the mirror,
blood fills up the sink,
I try to keep my calm but I'm always on the brink,
they tell me it's all good, just calm down and think,
but that makes nothing better,
it's like putting on a sweater in 90 degree weather,
suffacting my soul, trying to take control,
my mind has a mind of its own,
I tell it to stop being a child, I'm grown,
but that's never shown.
Maybe I'm just weak, people think that I'm a tweak, can't keep my cool, I'm such a fool.

Spread light, love life,
Spirit high, never deny,
The true energy within my soul,
Never gets cold, never grows old,
Living life bold, could never sell my soul, it's made of gold, makes the lesser fold, over like a domino, shot like all my foe, they alWays low.
Need to get higher, quit being a liar,
And speak the truth, and live it too,
Be your greatest good, you always should,
shine bright like the morning light,
that wakes you out your sleep,
quit catching Z's, through counting sheep, meditate and elevate your mind, so much inside you could never find, unless you try.
So keep at it, don't lose your cool,
a big wallet will keep you going
but with an empty mind you will
always be a fool.
