My Refuge

A long rough day
I need to push the world away
Go to my room, lock the door
Turn on my karaoke machine, track four
I sing and sing until my voice is hoarse
But that doesn't stop me, of course
Reaching for my guitar, pick in hand
I write a new song about the beach and its sand
Drifting away to my favorite place
This, right here, is my own secret space
The music brings me comfort, relaxation, and peace
It helps put my mind at ease
When I just want to shut the world out
Music is my refuge, no doubt
It is the safest place to sit and hide out

Don't Wake Me

The lights glistening around us
Been waiting for so long, I don't fuss
In your arms once again
Sitting here now, remembering when
Your laugh, your smile
Its been such a long while
I've missed you more than I can explain
Being with you takes away my pain
-my alarm clock screams, I jump out of bed
The wonderful dream leaves my head

When I Was Your Her

I remember the way things were
When you were my him and I was your her
Your voice, your smell
This I remember so well
Your eyes, glistening like the sun
Yes, my heart, you have won

A Work Of Art

Writing poems is fun and exciting
Relaxing and uniting
It brings joy, creativity, and expression
All while teaching some kind of lesson

Poetry is a work of art
One that is close to my heart
It paints a picture, dark or light
O', such a sight

Emotions poured onto a sheet
Some leave you on the edge of your seat
Scary, happy, angry, and sad
This part of English makes me so glad

Some may grumble at this assignment
But I find it comes with perfect alignment
Pick up your pencil, let the words flow
Poetry makes my heart glow

November 24th

November twenty-fourth, its that time of year
We come together full of cheer
Family and friends
The food never ends
A list of things to be grateful for
Floor, walls, a roof, a door
Friends and family, we adore
Food, jobs, there's so much more
The gift of all gifts, most importantly
Jesus Christ paying for our sins
The opportunity to be with Him eternally
The ultimate price
Paid by Christ
So I express my gratitude in this way
Here and now, this Thanksgiving Day

Nothing

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.
The clock slowly moves its arms
Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.
I look outside-nothing
No leaves, no sun
No green, no blue
Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.
The winter drags on-seeming to never end
Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.
I sit and think-nothing
No thoughts, no feelings
No tears, no smiles
Nothing without you
Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.
Time slowly passes
My dreams turn into ashes
Heart cold as stone
I feel-nothing
Nothing but pain
Nothing but sorrow
Nothing left
Slowly bringing me to-death

Broken Glass

Take my hand, it'll be okay you say
Wake up, tomorrows another day
Will you stay or will you go
Sometimes its just so hard to know
With you, theres nothing I can do

Chorus:
Cause you've got my heart in the palm of your hand
You just don't understand
How fragile I am, how fragile I am
You control everything I do
My every move, oh waoh waoh

Should be written on my head
Handle with care
Cause I could break with one mistake
Scattered like broken glass
My heart will fall again, fall again
Its out of my control

Chorus

You've still got my heart in the palm of your hand
You just don't understand
How fragile I am, how fragile I am
You still control everything I do
My every move oh waoh waoh

My hearts scattered like broken glass

Kiss Me Goodbye

Lyrics to a song I wrote a while back..

You say that you're sorry
You say that you need me
You say it all
Thinkin I might fall
For you again

You act like nothing
Ever happend
Between you and her
But I know better

You're standing here
Asking me to forgive you
You're standing here
Telling me you'll stay true
But I don't believe you

Chorus: You lost my trust
              It blew away with the dust
              You say that it ain't fair, it was just a dare
              Well I dare you
              To kiss, me goodbye

You say that you're sorry
You say that you need me
You say it all
Now do you recall
What you did?

You act like nothing
Ever happend
Now do you see
That I know better

Cause I ain't ever
Gonna forgive you
Cause I know
That you'll never be true

Chorus

Goodby, Goodbye, yeaaahh, goodbye

You say that you're sorry
You say that you need me
You say it all
Thinking I might fall
For you again

Always

I wrote this a longgg time ago..just found it (:

As I look up at the night sky
I see millions of stars
There are so many, too many to count
But there's always that one
The one that stands out
Its light is so much brighter than all the rest
The a shooting star passes
Putting the other to a test
The other star wins, still brighter is its light
No other star can win, never, not even this night

You are that star that shines so bright
You are the star with the brightest light
No other one can win
Even though they try and try again
You are the one who'll be here all of my days
You are my one,
Forever and Always.

ha too bad that stars are only gases and they burn out eventually.

Simply..life.

Life. Life is not always easy. Its not a box of chocolates all the time. Not as as simple as we'd hope. But life, life is great. Life is wonderful. In fact, life is what YOU make it. YOU have the power to make it great. Or you can make it nothing. There is a deeper meaning to everything. Call me a kook..maybe I am, but I've learned that you can let life knock you down, or you can get right back up and get stronger. I love the saying "Rock bottom? Its not so bad..you can only go up, from rock bottom." That is SO true. It sucks hitting rock bottom, I should know, but rather than feeling sorry for yourself, take it as a chance to grow. I've had heartbreak, betrayal, pain, etc in ways that you wouldn't imagine but look at me, I'm happy. Make the best out of life. Sure, sometimes depression hits, let it take it's course. Life. Life is wonderful. Life is hard. Life is painful. Life is great. The very breath we breathe is wonderful. So many great things happen at literally every second. Sometimes we get so caught up that we forget to sit back and be grateful for the little things. For that baby, taking its first steps. For the food we eat. For simply the songs we sing. Why give up on life when there is so much in one tiny second. Why give up when there is no possible way that we could have lived every great thing God has planned. Stop for a minute. Just stop. Look outside. Its beautiful. Whether its raining, storming, calm, light, dark, starry, cloudy..its all beautiful. Its inspiring. Look out there. There is a whole world waiting for you. Go out. Discover. Don't just sit back and let time go. Don't let the bad things in life hold you down. Break ups, betrayal, death..nothing. Don't let it hold you back. Life. Life is great. Don't let it pass you by. Find something worth living for. Everyone, everything, has a purpose.

Blink.Walk.Pretend.

Tears. No. No, you can't cry..not..now. Choke them back, pretend its alright. Blink. Tears. RUN.
Finally, safety. Safe to cry. The bathroom stall, trying to get it together.
No more tears. Thoughts.


Why here? Why now? Its only been a few months, it still hurts. Does he care anymore? Why? Why this?


Walking. I see you again. Catch your eyes. Hate, you look at me with hate. Anger. I see it in your face. Tears. Tears are in your eyes too. Pain. Thoughts.


Why? Why her? Why here? I hurt her. I miss her. Why? Why did I do that? I wonder if she still cares. Could she forgive me? Why did I end it that way? Why?


Blink. Walk. Tears. Thoughts.



I still care. I still do. Should I say, "hi"? No.


Wipe away the tears. Walk. Walk away. Put on a smile. No one can know the pain. Blink. Walk. Pretend.

Heartbreak

You walked away
I'm here to stay
I'll walk this road
All alone
This journey is never-ending
Hell, never bending
This torture like suicide
I don't like this fair ride
Why can't it just subside
My heart still beating
My body not reading
This life like a labyrinth
Why can't it end
So now I'll go
Keep on with this lying show
