And now Plastic Straws

Oh God, Where do I run?
And where does the East meet the West?
If East doesn't have exact location, What is East?
If You weren't created, Where did you start?

If I run to you, Can I trust you will be there to catch me?

I've been to hell and back
Through the dark alleys
I've seen things many should not see
But I can find my way home
To the place where my heart belongs
To my Family...

One moment you're in the sun
The next you're being lowered away from it
Feeling warmth, love
Then a sharp shrill

You have everything
Then nothing

Life
And then death

I Really Want food
But I Really want love
Love and food don't mix well

One day you're told you're perfect,
the next rejected because of body type

I wish everyone was hungry for love

I am a burning light in the darkness
In a world full of misery and hate
I am tidy in a world made of mess
I am a seasick lamp stuck in a crate

You are a car with a tire overblown
You are a nice pancake crisp to the touch
In contrast to everything you've shown
I aspire to feel your silky soft touch

We will be the worlds new revalation
We will be the wind that shakes the palm trees
We will be the rare in the uncommon
We can be the beloved summer breeze

Many a man feeling down in the dirt
Cannot compare to the blood on their shirt

Sitting in mom's room watching nemo
Singing in the car
Riding in the shopping cart
Eating anything and everything
Saturday morning pancakes
Sunday morning church
Walking grandma to the car
Playing cars

We all did it
We all want it back

When A friend you've had for years
Turns their back
What do you do?

When you feel left, abandoned, neglected
Don't beat yourself up
It's their fault
They're the ones missing out

Remember,
If you need a freind
I'm here
And I wont betray you

A lot of people think that California is all sunshine and palm trees
L.A. alone is home to 1,350 gangs

We have redwoods, yes we have trees in California, Suprising
We have rain too
We are home to bears, and mountain lions, lizards, and rattlesnakes

When people think Californians they think surfers
Were not
We're not mean, stuck up, rude, or obnoxious
We are the same as all of you
But most of all, we are
Real people, Encountering a real god, making a real difference

Much like the dents on an old ford truck,
Life will leave marks, but the car will still run.
So if your car is battered with scrapes and dents,
Think of the road it has been on.
And have sympathy

Look at me!
I'm a king
I'm a server
I'm a gentleman
I'm a beggar
I'm poor
I'm rich
I'm fat
I'm slim
I'm fast
I'm slow

I Am Human

Romance
When people hear that word they think kissing and hugging
Romance is NOT physical
Romance IS when you can feel someone else's heart
If you can see the love in their eyes
When they're NOT deceitful
Romance is NOT ***

Romance IS Love

I am not a monster
I am not a ****
I am not a fighter

I am NOT Afraid

I Will Not Bite
I Will not hurt you
I know how to cry

I AM a Human

When I Feel Lonely
You're By My Side

When I Feel Down
You're By My Side

In The Shadows Of The Day
And The Darkness Of The Night
You're By My Side

When I Fall
You're By My Side

When I Need You, You're There
When I Need A Father, You're Him

Thank You God

I Feel Alone
Ugly
Lost

I Want love
but I cant find any

Who will love me for me?

Love
Some are scared
Some are excited
All are in need of

To those of you who feel ashamed
broken
abandoned

You're not alone

Longing for someone to love
hold
kiss

You're not alone

Those of you who want to live
fly
soar

Good luck

Lies
They play an important role in our daily lives
Some lies are for the greater good
Some are to better yourself
Some will pick people apart

In life when you lie
You are giving a demon the power over you
saying, "Take me"
"Be my master"
When you give even a hint of weakness
They will ruin your life

lies can ****

don't be foolish
live as yourself
You're beautiful the way you are
Don't lie to mask your identity
Because you are beautiful

Don't be a liar

When something unspeakable comes into your life,
Accept it
Let it guide you to your destiny
Stop listening to to other peoples testimonies and start living your own

When you see a challenge,
Accept it
Look it in the eyes and say,
"You don't own me"

When you see a narrow path
Don't turn and tuck tail
Walk through,
There will be many hidden Treasures

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am yours

See me for who I am,
not who I was
not what I've done,
not where I've been

See me as the man god created me to be
See my heart, not my body
See me for who I am and who I will become
See me for what I will do
not my mistakes in the past

Everyone has left a trail
some clean, some battered with footsteps
but let the trail you leave be beautiful

I used to be scared of rejection,
But that's not all.
Scared of love, family, and relationships.
I was scared of it all.

One day I met a wonderful man,
as pure and as sweet as could be.
He taught me how to love, talk, and pray.

But lately I've walked away from him,
thinking I'll be alright.
But god had a different plan,
a plan that would bring light.

And in that plan I have found
that fear,
Cannot bring me down

In all my suffering,
I have seen That god,
You're all I need
