You promised you'd never leave
But times have changed
And promises mean nothing

I've been through this before
Each time it goes the same
Communication becomes slower
Then it ends all together

You promised you'd stay here
But life keeps moving
And you went along

Many nights I'm awake
Many nights I'll replay
Wondering where I went wrong
Wondering where I could've fixed it

You promised me forever
But times have changed
And nothing ever lasts forever

I'm a raindrop on glass
Just one in a million
I rush to the flood,
passing the other raindrops,
stopping for nothing
Once I hit the ground,
I am no longer a raindrop

I become a puddle
Waiting with the others
We watch mother nature,
joining other puddles,
growing stronger
Once we're big enough,
We are no longer a puddle

We become a stream
Going with the flow
We slide down the street,
rushing next to each other,
searching for the end
Then we find it.

We fall down the drain
and separate from each other
I'm lost and alone
in a dark place
I don't know where I am
or where I'm going
but *I'm still moving

2am
11pm is for those who can't sleep,
bloods filled with rush;
because of the sweet texts they just can't wait to read.

1am is for the poets who just can't stop,
can't stop the thoughts entering --
entering their mind one by one.

And 2am is for the broken.
The ones who can't stop thinking,
Thinking of what might've been,
What could've been.

I don't know what's worse
A boy ripping your heart out
Or a friend doing the same

I don't know what's worse
Staying up late because you're physically sick
Or staying up late because you're mentally sick

I don't know what's worse
Sleeping all day and night
Or not sleeping at all

Either way
Either or
I don't know what's worse in this life
Than the terrible things we go through

We're just humans
We can only take so much
Before we give up
Or give out

I was doing better 

Until something hit me

I couldn’t breathe

I couldn’t move

My thoughts began racing

Just like they used too 

I couldn’t calm myself

Like the many times before

The only thing that could 

Left me long ago…

From out of the ashes of the old
A new year has arrived
Out of the many downs and lows
By grace we have survived

This day begins the start
Of a slate that is brand new
A chance to strive for what is right
A chance to renew

A time to let others know
That by you they are loved
A time to forgive a wrong
A new hope for peace and love

Out of the ashes of the old
We have been given another year
Go forth in faith and courage
Leave behind all doubt and fear .
