I was left on the steps
and I walked these streets
but they weren't made for me
so I walked the sidewalks

for the longest time
I looked and I searched
for a place to call home
and I found your heart

it was open and warm
and oh so inviting
I thought I could stay
for just a little while

but after just a few moments
I knew
that I could never leave
for this is my place

your warm heart
is the perfect home
for my cold hands
you keep me warm

your solid strength
is the right place
for my weakened frame
you keep me strong

I will never be thrown out
I will always have a spot
you are always home
to sing me to sleep

you watch over me
oh my guardian angel
for your heart
is my one true home
Find what makes you happy
but first
find yourself.

Butterflies
Don’t float around
Saying “Look at me!”
Or hope to be found.
They don’t ask for attention
Or to be admired
They won’t seek recognition
Or beg for your desire.

Their patterns stand out
Their colors shine bright
And without even trying
Their wings catch our eyes.
But it doesn’t matter
If we’re here or gone
Or if their beauty is noticed,
They’ll fly on.

I won’t ask
Won’t beg, won’t seek
Anyone to
Admire me.
My colors will shine
Even if they’re not awed
So despite recognition
I’ll fly on.
After thinking long and hard,
Of what I'd wish upon a star,
Now the decision is very clear,
But how does one wish for darkness and fear,
My life has been cloudy and left out in the rain,
I've hit to many stops signs,
Its become Grotius when falling not feeling a thing,
Not brave enough to do it myself,
Only a wish that I wish for myself,
Darkness as my eyes close,
I begin to freeze,
Into a deep sleep which then I'll disappear,
No more heart break,
No more tears and definitely no more fears,
No more pain not a worry,
Only a memory that will become blurry,
But then at least my life will finally get to end,
Especially when this life is over and my new one gets to begin,
But that's like asking for rain without thunder but you always will get the sun,
So let my life be over,
So Reincarnation can start over.
I feel so homeless in you
Building fires in the cold for two
You are so homesick in me
Home is where the heart is you see

Blah blah blah
Enjoy!
I'll never be top choice
Never be number one
I won't be the most desired
But that's never what I wanted
I don't need everyone to love me
Or pick me first
I just wanted you to
Only you
And I thought maybe just maybe
But now I know the truth
I'll always be no one's favorite
