Beach

And yes

I admit

I want what you have

And I can't escape this feeling



Because I love you

And the parts you hide

Because I know what you did last night

Just let me hold you in my arms



I saw you laughing

With the sand in your hair

I should have been smiling

But you were looking at her



So I'll let the sea drown me

And swallow me whole

Because I don't think I can bring myself

To see you again tomorrow

Rain

When the rain

Hits my face

I wonder where you are

I saw my reflection

On the side of the road

I don't recognize what I've become

So I leave my song

Up to you

In hopes that your dreams come true

Angry And Little Men

Mental mettle,
Mettle mentally.
You just don't understand,
The way I speak.
So if you're yelling incoherently,
I'm just going to repeat the same thing,
I said before backwards.
So please use restraint my friend,
Or show some restraint to me.

Dedicated to those obsessed with personal gain. I pray the world has mercy on you.

:|§|: Reluctant :|§|:

Attempting new
Creative endeavors
Reluctant at first,
Old habits fear change
Steadily pushing to prove
To myself
I
Can grow
