Why are my dreams unreachable?
And everything to learn's unteachable?
What I want I can't get,
And I can't even try yet!
You always tell me to organize my time,
But number one on your list,
Is different than mine.
"What happens to a dream deferred,
does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?"
Yes I think,
If that means the dream is done.

Carefree clothing,
Nowhere to be.
Long hair flowing,
Just being me.
Writing poems in the sand,
To be taken by the tide,
Getting a tan,
In for the ride.
Summer,
It's my favorite season.
Summer,
For all of those reasons.
Summer.
Just sitting with my friends,
Summer,
Why does it have to end?

He plays the piano skillfully.
Not many people know.
His friends do not approve,
So he let it go.

She used to write songs.
But she would never share.
She kept them all a secret,
Cause she thought no one would care.

So they locked them in a dungeon.
Far, far away.
And their secret talents,
Never saw the light of day.

Someone told us we weren't good enough,
*And we believed them.

I'm floating in the background,
Fading in the shadows.
I'm everyone's back up plan.
But when will it be my turn,
to step out of the darkness?
I put all of my effort,
but what for?
It's never good enough.
*I'm never good enough

I’m from the normal neighborhood,
You’ve got those strange neighbors, who visit you from time to time,
Their names were Fear and Death.

You’ve got those good friends, who live just around the corner,
Their names were Ecstasy and Wonder.

And you’ve got that one best friend, who lives at the other end of town,
His name was Insanity.


I’m from the Future, but also the Past,
Never the Present,
A sliver of time so thin, no being could ever grasp it,
And no nonbeing could ever create or destroy it.


I’m from somewhere I have never traveled.
A place my eyes have never witnessed,
A place only my mind has ever reached.

If you want to go there, too,
Just close your eyes and wait,
Don’t even wait,
Just let it slowly drift in and settle down.

When it does, you won’t even realize,
Just know you will be overwhelmed with joy,
And you won’t even care if Tomorrow begins without you.


I’m from “If you’re wrong, admit it,
If you’re right, shut up.”


I’m from shadows by moonlight,
From fire by love.


And nothing’s gonna change my world, cause
I’m from Across the Universe.

Why are you jealous of me?
Maybe a few lonely guys
tried to get me as their own.
But I'm not the pretty one,
I'm not the smart and athletic one.
I'm not the one that gets everything right.
Heck, I don't even know who I am yet.
So why are you jealous of me?

When your around I'm scared you'll hear my pounding heart,
and so I walk away.
I hate this little fear of mine, that you won't like me back,
and so I say nothing.
I'm scared of what my friends might think, and that they will tell,
so I keep this to myself.
When I hear my name called in the hall way, I hope it is you,
but it never is.
And so I keep hoping, that maybe someday I'll find the courage,
to tell you how I feel.
