Hi
I want you to know
That I miss you so much
I miss you, us, the moments
We’ve shared
Everything
I miss doing things
With someone I trust
Someone with whom
I am comfortable with
I just miss you so much
And I'm tired
I am tired of missing you
I’m on my bed both
day and night
Yet my mind is tired
of overthinking
I’m tired of drowning
To the past
Where you were there
With me
or is it how
I wish It could be
I’m tired of pretending that
I’m happy
Yet deep inside it kills me
I’m tired of accepting things
But I know it’s the only
medicine that I have to take
I’m tired
Yet I want you to know
When you come home
No matter how far
I was here
Waiting
Drowning
Dying

Sometimes I think I lived better as a child
I knew how to live for the day
I wasn’t afraid to be the wild one
An angel’s wings swept my worries away

Hello girl with the tilt eyed black hat
I just wanted to know if you like me like that
I don’t want to put you on the spot
But I’ve sent enough hints for the other shoe to drop

You need to know me like I know myself
So unsure of how I can please you
But the face you see may seem too sure
Believe me my love only my doubts are true

This is no dream and the sounds I make are real
In between the times your heart I would steal
And now when caution is killing the one I own
I can only say loving you is not why I am alone

Diamond crown, diamond rings
Diamond gown, diamond things

Appearance is glittering
On the inside, rotting

A baby was born
Not knowing his people
Or that his path had been chosen
When he realized the truth
Of his color and his world
He saw the struggle to keep his pride unbroken

He will never be free
Until a bullet learns how to love

He read the words
And saw the pictures
Of long ago dreamers and haters
Wondering if it was real
And what he should do
He had no idea he would die like his savior

He will never be free
Until a bullet learns how to confess

As the anthem was sung
His hand covered his heart
But his people continued to cry
His children tried to laugh
But someone told them no
He did not know how to tell them why

He will never be free
Until a bullet learns how to be equal

A boy was put in his place
He learned about rejection
All he wanted was to make a friend
A bullet punctured his dream
But his children still knew
That grace saves what men would condemn

He will never be free
Until a bullet learns how to be human

You shouldn’t be there
At the back of my mind
You shouldn’t be
My morning and waking hour thoughts
You shouldn’t be
my 11:11 mantra
You shouldn’t be
my wish upon a shooting star
You shouldn’t be there
It’s very unconventional
You should be here, right here
Right beside me, here in my arms

no one chooses their pain
even though its often the consequences
of choices made.

It's her eyes that said so
It's mine that has to show
No matter how little she says
It's the pain I must risk I know

You're stronger than me
I know you're no longer bound
But you must rather die
Than make the first sound

Ok I'll go first
I can take it
If you say no
Then I will know
That the way I live
Is to love even if you don't

How long am I going to wait
I know the lines on you face
The one's you ignore
But they are the life I want to taste

I'm not that important
At least not enough to fear
But if I could love you like I do
Then you will tell me what I want to hear

Ok, I'll go first
I can take it
If you say no
Then I will know
That the way I live
Is to love even if you won't

Your smile is free
But never undervalued
