A layered past
I know it's true
my mold was cast
inside of you
and I couldn't ask
no reason to
for a better mom

you played a hand
a pair of threes
and raised up with
a bad disease
you worked so hard
you tried to please
no there's not
a better mom

you brought me food
when I was broke
and taught me good
that life's a joke
but we understood
life wears a cloak
no there's not
a better mom

mom you're the best
I know it's true
you second guessed
all I would do
but I was blessed
for knowing you
no there's not
a better mom

Dearest darkest dreams,
Will you please come to me?
I'd rather meet you in my sleep,
Than bump into you on the streets.
Make me a nervous wreck,
So I could wake up wiping off the sweat,
And go on to living my beautiful nightmare.
Just friends, we say, as we kiss each other tenderly.
Just friends, we say, as we squeeze each other tight.
Just friends, we say, as we gaze into each others eyes.
Just friends, we say, as we turn off all the lights.
I cannot sleep
It's 1 a.m.
So I'll just weep
'Till it's morning again
you pried open my clenched fists
placed the colorful glass into my palm
and pressed my fingers closed
too rough, too fast, too soon
and i squeezed
and i squeezed
and i opened my hand
to find the shattered remnants
of something that could've been beautiful
surrounded
by a pool
of blood
My grandma says i've gone
insane

I'm not denying it
To her insane means crying for no reason. Laughing and crying at the same time. Talking animatedly. Being expressive. Being a little over the top with happy. Being a little too sad. Everything that's normal to me. Is insane for her
When you look around what do you see?
Do you see hope? Do you see love? Do you see pain? Do you see glee?

When I look around, I'll tell you what I see.
I see hell breaking loose around every turn.
I see love breaking hearts. I see people loving to much - loving to the worlds end.
And no glee do I dare see.

I see a world to afraid to break loose from it's chains.
I see a world of hate, to afraid to stand up for what is right.
I see a world that is blind. A world that cannot see the truth even if it is put blankly in front of them

However, inside the heart of just a few look and see; just try to see if you can see what I see.
I see a passion unlike any other.
I see a love like any other.
I see hope sparkling in their eyes.
I see knowledge beyond there years.
I see leadership and revival in their mists.
I see chains being broken.
I see worship.
I see a song.
I see a dance.
I see what they try to see.

It is those such as these that bring the world full of hell hope, and life.
