I wonder what you think about when you lay down next to me... When I sleep, do you sleep, or internally question me?

How quick do you jump when Im up and you see the phone was right next to me? You scroll and search, hope to find dirt, and continue second guessing me...

Sweatin me, when you taking certain things out of context, stressin me, when I tell you how Im tryna be honest, selling me, tellin me how you respecting my process, only to continue to do the same thing again and again like you obsessed...

Its not a sport, nor is it fun, when it feels like there's a gun, behind my back and at my head, wishing what we had was dead...

But you still not using words to talk to me or ask me first, to let me know what thoughts still linger, what doubts you have or your distrust...
You tell me all is fine; that you have nothing to say, then we go to bed at the end of the day

But still, I wonder what you think about when you lay down next to me...

She never said,
"Just relax, and let me tend you."
I never wanted to be right, I just --

what's it like, you ****,
to hold your home close,
confident it will hold you?

He never said,
"Just relax, and let me bring you happiness."
I never wanted to be normal, I just
want to be found -- what's it like?

Joke's on my naivete,
ability aside,
I'm scratching asphalt
smooth with my shoes.

As time moves, I move, too.
No key for the lock on my youth.
What's it like having a night
ahead you can look forward to?

Fresh spring air, whispers of freedom.

The purple sky fills me with hope, new life.

After months in despair I now feel at ease.

I forgive it all.

A choice to release myself from the painful chains.

I watch the key to sadness dissolve in my hands.

I hear the swallows returning home,
while I dream of something new.

Your quiet words are comfort
Your smile is a key
To the things inside the center of my heart
To the deepest parts of me

Believe me I am grateful for
Your uncertain yet blissful company
Love the way you talk and feel
How you listen, think, touch and see

I want to kiss by a lamppost
Under stars and in the rain
Want to kiss you everywhere
Sorry if that sounds insane

Your soul meets mine and something stirs
Awakening feelings never before had
This breathlessness is a welcome change
Either I'm in love or I've gone mad
I know something we both can do
First I gotta be alone with you
I want you so bad
Boy you drive me mad

Daddy brought a toy car,
toy car , toy car,
Red and blue, red and blue,
red and blue,
It has four wheels,
four wheels, four wheels,
Which go round and round
round and round,round and round,
You wound it with a key and it goes vroom, vroom, vroom,
Up and down, up and down,
up and down
Right and left, right and left,
right and left,
Daddy brought a toy car, a toy car, a toy car,
I love him a million times,a million times,a million times.

The heartfelt joy of a poor boy who lives in a slum and barely has a proper meal.Sing with him and see how happy you feel.

For aren't we all lost,
In nothing?
We say "where are we?"
But, who cares?!
We are all insignificant dots,
in a limitless sky of dots.

I would rather spend one day,
A perfect day
in the meadow
and have so much fun
and then continue that for as long as possible.

Money distracts us from happiness.
Goals and guidelines we will never,
ever,
fit
distract us from happiness.

If we all wander
And we are all lost
Why not all be found together?
In a world of happiness and freedom!

Why work when you can rest?
Why run a mile,
when you can smile!
Why take a test
when you can press
the escape key.

It's so easy,
yet none of us click it.
For escaping reality
is seen as "suicidal thoughts" or "depression"
where maybe all we want is to be happy.
To forget about our worries
And not have to feel the nothingness
creeping from inside.
For when we are happy,
all we want is to cherish that moment.
But, what if we never had to let go of it?
We should let go of sadness! Why not be free to be with friends all day every day instead of being stressed about the future, we could enjoy it till the very last day we are on the planet and even then, even if there is nothing after life, we will have lived a happy life filled with goodness and laughter and kindness where no one would be mean because everyone would be happy!

There’s a drawer
somewhere
metaphorically

With all the stories
i’ve yet to write

Temporarily
i seem to have
lost the key
