they say that beauty is blonde hair and blue eyes,
they say that beauty is being thin and wearing makeup,
they say that beauty is smiling and not thinking for themselves,
they say that beauty is only there when others say it is,
they say that beauty is not for everyone,
they say that beauty is always being happy,
but that's a lie,
i know that beauty is every hair and eye color,
i know that beauty is every shape and every blemish,
i know that beauty is in a smile and that being smart is a part of it,
i know that beauty is always there,
i know that beauty is in everyone and for everyone,
i know that beauty is letting yourself feel emotions,
i know that everyone is beautiful.

i woke up to the sound of my mother's crying,
i knew that she wouldn't be lying,
she said that my poppa is gone,
i feel helpless like i'm just a pawn,
my heart slowly started to break,
my body then started to shake,
i covered up my emotions,
and went through the motions,
i tried not to feel,
to not be real,
now i hurt,
because he's in the dirt.

i am tired,
my eyes start to close,
i feel undesired,
my body is disposed.

i try to do what i am told,
i try to be bold,
i try to escape the cold,
i try to fit in the mold,
but, behold,
i am uncontrolled,
i am free,
to be me,
to see,
to flee,
from from it all,
i am free.

sounds are of the essence,
of life,
love,
and all of the above,
we laugh,
we cry,
we say goodbye,
we listen,
to words,
to the oceans roar,
to the crickets at night,
we listen,
to the breathing of an infant,
we listen,
to the wind in the trees,
we listen,
to the i do that changed you forever,
we listen,
to life.

tick-tock,
tock-tick,
these old clocks are making me sick,
tick-tock,
tock-tick,
time is running out now take your pick,
tick-tock,
tock-tick,
come on now make it quick,
tick-tock,
tock-tick,
there is no longer any time,
or any rhyme,
your time has ended,
and it can't be mended.

i walk to the stage,
i put on my masquerade,
i take the microphone,
and get in the zone.
i start out slow,
because i know,
that when the tempo gets fast,
i can't make it last.
i blend my voice with the song,
hoping that it'll last all night long,
this is bliss,
give me more of this.

feel the sun on my neck,
shining on me on the deck,
i hear the breeze,
it's rustling the trees.
see the birds fly away,
across the town and across the bay,
think about the life you've led,
as you lay on your deathbed.
your legacy will live on,
until the last dawn,
you will be know as the great,
but you were used as bait.

it has been a long day,
a rough day,
your typical Monday,
i rolled out of bed,
and almost hit my head,
my feet feel like lead,
i'm so tired,
but i know it's required,
i'm not inspired,
why school,
why are you so cruel,
you spin me around like a whirlpool,
i hate you,
you are not my boo,
you make me want to spew,
but now today is done,
you think you have won,
but you have been outrun,
by me,
now you should flee,
and i think you would agree.

don't ****
don't take that pill,
you're worth it,
even though you're in a pit,
god will get you through,
when you're feeling blue,
he loves you,
he's in view,
love him,
when you're feeling like you're out on a limb,
he will save,
please don't cave,
the sun is shining on his face,
we are saved by his grace,
don't be a slave,
don't bury yourself in that grave,
get up,
he is your backup,
he is love,
he pours it on us from above,
don't believe them,
you're a gem,
you are worth it,
please don't quit.

i am young,
so loved,
i am dumb,
so far from above.
i am fun,
so i party,
i am done,
so i stop the party.
i am mad,
so i yell,
i am sad,
o i fell.
i am love,
so i look up,
i am free like a dove,
so i had better shape up,
i need your love,
wrap me in your embrace,
now i kiss your sweet, sweet face.

it spreads without a whisper,
at times when the air is crisper,
it creeps along,
until you're long gone,
it takes it's time,
while you're in your prime,
it spreads and kills,
even if you take your pills,
it's a machine with no mercy,
maybe that's a controversy,
it's a disease,
out to **** me.

we're now on low,
get me out of here,
take the wheel and steer.

waste of time,
i hear my phone chime,
my time is gone,
working until dawn,
time to say hi,
when I really want to say bye,
it's now bedtime,
but for me that doesn't mean downtime,
yea, it's a waste of time.

oh,
you who wander,
don't be held back by a leash,
cut yourself free,
for we all are wanderers on the inside,
begging to be let free,
but we are the ones holding on,
to safety,
to comfort,
let go,
and live life,
go,
and wander in wonder.

there is never silence,
always something humming,
buzzing,
creating a melody for the world to sing,
and when someone is off beat,
the world adapts and belts out a new tune,
so there is never silence,
i wonder what silence really is,
i suppose I'll know when I die.

people come and people go,
they leave me alone.
i feel cold to the bone,
scared and alone.
i am now made of stone,
but inside, i still feel alone.

love,
something powerful from up above,
love,
a feeling,
emotion,
its got you reeled in,
sin,
trouble,
forbidden,
no,
love,
from up above,
its come to cover you,
smother you,
until all you can think about is love,
love,
oh sweet love,
but love is also a weapon,
made to pierce your heart till it bleeds,
but why does it have to hurt so bad,
you feel like you're being torn apart,
piece,
by piece,
until a new lover comes along with a new weapon of love to torture you with,
it's a cycle that cannot stop,
and you don't want it to.

a gunshot was heard,
but not by her,
blood gushed out of her face like a grotesque river,
a bullet hole in the side of her head,
maybe we should put down all the technology...
before someone gets hurt...

if i die,
would you care,
if i was eaten by a bear,
would you just stare,
or would you care,
i shouldn't stress,
i'm very blessed,
caught in a nest,
with twigs and thorns,
oh why was i born!

why,
oh why,
did you have to fly,
fly high,
so high,
into the night,
left me there,
so scared,
we had something we shared,
now i'm scared,
so scared,
why,
oh why,
did i let you go,
well now i know,
that once you go,
you're in a place where no one knows,
where you are,
maybe you're in the stars,
far,
so far,
away,
from here,
why.

the silence in the dead of night,
is sometimes as bright as a light.
it's quiet,
but so loud.
the cars along the highway,
slowly making their trek up a hill.
honking and yelling.
the wind,
whistling through the trees making me shiver.
the occasional plane,
going on its merry way up in the sky.
the low hum that always seems to be in the air.
the bright lights of the city,
blinding me.
the headlights carving the way along a dark path.
all the lights on in a house,
makes night seem like day.
night is supposed to be quiet and dark,
did humans have to ruin that too?
