Here, have a dime,
My two cents by Five:
You're not that sublime
When it comes to being alive.
You slam some door and claim your might;
Not impressed by how you've dared
To shut the doors and scream to fight;
You're the kid that's truly scared
Of all the things you can't control,
All the things you'll never know;
Not fear nor anger will fill that hole;
Even roots must break dirt to grow.
You're stuffed in far too small a space;
Cramped wings find no room to fly;
Sometimes I wish you'd have the grace
To just let go and simply cry.
So much lost in the fear of being wrong;
A self-fulfilling prophecy in every song, when in point of fact:
There's more to life than being strong;
Your inner child's got a cataract.
You're the match that sets yourself aflame,
Because somedays you still need to feel;
Anything less would be far too tame
In this search for something real.
All I know of timeless wealth
Is how to give a loving hand;
We have to be the one to see ourself, but
By your side I Truly stand.
To speak of what's true:
If every fear is just projection
Then if I am to question you
Surely I speak to my own reflection.

So this is what inspiration feels like:
When it's come time to take a hike,
And every fork is a new road to take
Every choice is another path to make
Every word is another leaf to rake
Every thought is free -
What a wonderful gift for me.
The mind is strong, so
No thoughts are wrong
Or out of place;
Fear bites no grace.
To those who choose just love:
Your light outshines the dove;
'Cos for all that you may know,
You still make room for worlds to grow.

Swear you’ll hold her tight
From sounds that screech,
And all the things that try to reach
Corrosive claws for her thoughts at night.
She may not be able to express
The demons she faces when she dares,
So never tell her no one cares;
Just love her and she won’t repress.
She’s stronger than she’ll ever know, so
Don’t try to be just her hero;
Be the place she’s safe at zero,
And watch what wonders love will show.

I found out recently that I am different
Hopelessly different from people I meet
All my life I've been a misfit
Unable to properly please
Pleasing to some, my knowledge is infinite
Uneasy to some my gaze to meet
How hopelessly lonely this life is, isn't it?

Only had I known
The true nature
Of my rugged edges
That they weren't supposed to be
So callously blunted
I wouldn't have tried so much
Wasting my time
trying to run them
Into circles where they never belonged
Into places for they never longed
Instead
I would have toiled
Sharpening them with the implied
And make them bleed with unwavering pride.

Is there something wrong
with the way I speak?
the way I think,
the way I feel,
the way I believe,
the way I perceive?
Why can't I simply let go?
No more pretending,
no more lying,
no more hurting.
If I fall under the same pattern,
life would be simpler,
"ignorance is bliss" yes.
But, I can't.

Such a word
only a word
only a word
to me
there is none
whom i "trust"
i wish there was
someone to talk to
about everything
but the truth is
there isn't
to relay on completely
to keep my words
to understand them
none
sadly, i am a lock
few hold the key
too bad
the lock is broken
