Storm.

Lightning flashes in the sky.
It could brighten any night.

Then you hear the thunder.
And you may begin to wonder,

What is coming up ahead? just a simple shower?
Or a mighty storm with awesome power?

You hear the rain falling from the skies, then
You tightly close your eyes.

You just want it all to end oh but my
Friend the storm has only just begun.

Lightning flashes in the sky.
It could brighten any night.

You can call me names and make me fall.
But you don't know what I can do when my back's against the wall.
You can mock me and tell me I look like a freak.
But it's okay because these things don't make me weak.
We're all different. So why are we so afraid of how people walk, talk or think?
We're all different. So let's embrace it and have a drink.

When we're kids,
we see dinosaurs and dragons that make our imagination soar.
When we're teens,
we look at our peers differently than before.
And, as an adult, I find it harder to embrace any changes at all anymore.
I don't like the world I see. So tell me, what should I do?
First, know you're not alone.
Then take my hand, and together, we'll make it through.

I'm living in a dream until it becomes a nightmare
Waiting for the day I find someone out there.
The people I have met in this life
Are living in a different dream, however.
One that is based not on love,
But something different altogether.

A bright and shiny amethyst
could never compare
To the beauty of the flower
that holds words a heart wouldn’t bear
Each petal represents syllables
kept at the tip of your tongue
Forgive me I couldn’t speak
But fear not, this has only begun
A handful of petals are enough to say,
I’m sorry things didn’t go your way
What forced you to do this?
Was it all part of your plan?
Spurring emotions I’ve never known
Just to satisfy your hunger
But these feelings were never yours to own
Yet deep inside I know I’m wrong
So I give this flower 
Acknowledging I was swoon
Remember me
This is my last wish upon the moon
This flower has always been one of my favorites.

Blue eyes, blue eyes, bright and true.
Shining, smiling, oh so blue.
Blue eyes, blue eyes, don't see me.
A reminder we can never be.

Different minds and different views.
Different lies and different truths.
Blue eyes, blue eyes, don't see mine.
Green and broken and lost in past time.

Do you run or do you stay?
Most people would run away.
But I don’t think that you would too
You’re not most people,
now, are you?
You're different.
