If I were to die in the middle of the night O God.
I pray that you use my life to make a difference.
In other people lives, to draw them unto you.
If I was to die in the middle of the morning.
I pray O Saving One , that through my actions.
Many different people seen you within me.
Thus drawing upon you to be saved as well.
If I was to die, in the middle of the afternoon.
May many through my repentance of sin.
See the sacrifice was good and do the same.
Repenting of sins as well and becoming born-again believers.

My daddy taught me when I was young
How to be a gentleman son

Open doors for all ladies
Say yes sir, no sir and may I please

Never speak unless spoken to
Keep this advice close to you

It will help where e're you go
And if your mother smells nice then tell her so

If your walking a girl down the street
Walk between her and where the cars do meet

And when going up and down the stairs
He didn't want to leave me unaware

Stay behind when going up
And when heading down stay in front

Because if a lady trips and calls
You'll be there to catch her fall

Never speak when your mouth is full
Cause no one wants to see your food

And elbows belong on your arms
Not propped up on the table son

These are just a few things my daddy taught me
To be a gentleman in the first degree
This is actual advice I remember my father passing on to me when I was young. Seems these days we've lost a lot of these qualities....Step up gentlemen!

Dear Mother,
I'm sorry I'm not enough
I'm sorry I'm not smart enough
Not pretty enough
Not talented enough
I'm sorry I'm not graceful
I'm sorry I'm sensitive
I'm sorry I'm not
The daughter you wanted

Dear Father,
I'm sorry I'm not enough
I'm sorry I'm not a boy
Not a basketball star
Not top of the class
Not strong enough
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I'm sorry I'm not a genius
I'm sorry I'm not
The child you wanted

Dear Sister,
I'm sorry I'm sad sometimes
I'm sorry I'm not the ideal big sister
Not very pretty
Not silly enough
Not open enough
I'm sorry you got stuck with me
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I'm sorry I'm not
The sister you wanted

Dear Neighbor,
I'm sorry I'm annoying
I'm sorry I'm not social enough
Not doing what you're doing
Not easily excited
Not happy enough
I'm sorry I'm the only one your age
I'm sorry I'm not athletic enough
I'm sorry I'm not
The neighbor you wanted

Dear Family,
You don't care
But I'm sorry
I'm not enough

Dear Friends,
You don't exist
But I'm sorry
I will never be enough

Dear world,
I'm sorry
I wasn't enough

So I'm leaving
*Goodbye
Not committing suicide, it's just on my mind at the moment
I'm sorry for real though... I wish I didn't exist so people could just live their lives and not have to deal with me. I know I'm not worth it. I know I'm not enough

I get this feeling
That I'm leaking emotion
no one wants

I had a strong heart
Strong mind
Strong immune system
And a bright soul
I was strong

*How did this happen?
This has an explanation, but I don't have enough energy to type it

How is it,
That a mere thought
Cuts deeper
Than the sharpest blade?

And how is it,
That the sight of you
Hurts more
Than the deepest cut?

Keep I love you from
ever becoming a reflex response.
It's the Monday Blues.

I can fake a smile
Quite well

I can laugh when
I really want to cry

I can scream
So quietly you'll never hear

I can cry
Invisible tears

I can live
While dying inside

And I can hide
While standing right there

As you can see
I have quite a long resume,
Oh God,
Of why I,
Of all your children,

*Should be the next to come home
