They ask me why I don't write anymore
I say I don't feel it anymore
They ask what don't I feel
I said it's sadness I don't feel

They are confused now
I say it's ok now
They are confused still
I say nothing still

They say, "Write happy poems"
I think about happy poems
They say, "Cmon, try"
I think why try?

They think it's easy
I wish it was easy
They think happiness is simple
I think, "It's not that simple"

cast your fears
upon the blueness
an give no weight
to worry deep
find a place
of dear contentment
an let your mind
drift fast asleep

go dream a dream
of new tomorrow's
possible -
is ANY thing
so dream a dream
an make a wish now
to send upon angelic wing

ask above the needed answers
cast your worry to the sky
ask it boomerang
right back here
to answer in
your fervent cry

your folded hands
in desperation
I pray you find
some peace tonight
as you seek
in divine answers
you will have
your needed sight
an then your feet
will finally rest then,
no longer you
afraid of night

now
you are ready
to go
and LIVE  now
the dream in it's
life giving light.

Nobody goes out asking for it.

When I walk out,
I am a statement
not be ignored
but not be taken
advantage of.

When I walk out,
-I'm telling you right now-
what you should see?
is one hell of a woman
what you shouldn't?
is a candy bar
that exists only for your desires.

Nobody goes out asking for it.

I never asked you to follow me.
I didn't want to talk.
I never did anything
to fall victim to ****** assault.

I want ya'll to hear me,
Imma say it real short.
None of you deserve
to fall victim of ****** assault.

So this is a message to all you men
womanizers
liars
'you told us we would be safe'ers
haters
scarers
self-esteem lowerers

NOBODY GOES OUT ASKING FOR IT

and if you are a guy?
believe me when I say
that when you followed me
and made that comment
          i didn't like it

and believe
when I tell you one thing

I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT.

Love, what is it but a world of confusion
a message through a mask
created by a fake fusion
It's all they want to ask

The most powerful magic of all
we can never live without
when you're always there to break my fall
I never really had a doubt

opposites attract
that's what they portray
That's what they call abstract
get ready for my card I'm about to play

Life's a game
Is there a prize in life you may say?
and I can tell you now it's not fame
Love, that's the card I play to you today
