Sitting at the airport
Reading, writing things of the sort
Anything to pass the time
Finally you can board the plane
Pushing and shoving to get down the lane
Get to your seat
The screaming child is by the window
Close it
Open it
Play with the tray
Kick the seat
Plug in your ear buds
As you drown in the beat
The plane starts to move
At last it's time!
The child is occupied
Thrusters hit full power
Lurching forward, forced into your seat
Faster and faster and then
Liftoff
As you leave the ground
Your stomach turns to goo
Faster your heart starts to race
Yet mile after mile
You can't help but smile

Where do I go when things get tough
Who do I turn to when situations turn rough
When I fall, What do I do
When my heart cracks
does it crack in two?
Or does it slowly disintegrate
My mind flies through a million thoughts
I can't seem to concentrate
As I try to pull through with what I was taught
I try to find love and joy
But I become broken like a toy.

Wake up
eat
work
sleep
one two repeat
Same thing every day makes me feel like a robot
Is this what our future generations are taught?
I can't help but think our system is broken
Can we try to fix it?
that requires thought and ideas and then,
Well, that is when our world becomes peaceful
Our kids get smarter
we stay together and work out with our partner
This becomes the day when one two repeat
becomes one two step to a different beat
wake up
eat
think
create
One two this is check mate
To the Government I think??

This is for two
Two people I barely knew
you left this world the same way
a belt and your feet hanging
You wanted to be free
but you actions left us to pay
You left after a friendly fight smiling
6 years after my birth you left us alone
you were my brother
you were my friend
yet the poison of this world
you needed it to end
seeking life you grasped in deaths kiss
A year later you are gone
before we got the chance to bond

Haven't slept for days.
Staying awake for hours
Waiting for the minutes to tick by.
What more can I do until I die.
I work and work
I fake the smiles
I run for miles
I do this sober
When will all this be over.
I can't take this anymore.
I want it to end
Yet my back will always bend
For those I hold dear
I will hold back my tear.
Yet I run alone
To make sure others are smiling
I will break every bone.
I run and run for miles
I lie awake for days
I cry silently for hours
I wait for the minutes to tick on by
I truly just want to say goodbye.

Run
Fake the smiles
Run the miles
Keep it all locked away
I am broken deep inside
Yet I can't let the tears slide
I'm not in the right place
Hide my pace
No one needs to know my pain.
I scream I run I fall to my knees
I can feel my heart stings strain

When you said you loved me.
I believed it.
But My demons screamed it was a mistake.
once she saw a bit of who I truly am
she would run and hide away
I saw your demons, I accepted them with open arms.
But I knew the day would come
where you saw the worst one
and that is where we part.
I hate to admit this ***
but I saw this all playing out from day one.
That is why I was hesitant to say yes
I knew they would be too much
goodbye to all the rest.

I want you to come back
I want to feel your warmth
But if you want to feel mine
Can my demons come inside?
I will keep them at bay
until my final day.
