Being Perfect!!!

You don't need to be Perfect,

You don't need to be the Best,

Just a Better version of Yourself,

Every Single Day...

Wise Counsel?

You lock me in a room with no weapons
                                  To fight the waiting lion.
I'd built a hasty tower of chairs
To reach the window,

You could have pulled me out
But you pushed me back
                                        Saying,
                 "Find a ladder to reach this window."

And you wondered why I was clinging.

Then you pulled the chairs out
  and s...

War

Johnny stood besides his brother 
crying Tommy look after mother, 
He was going to fight a bloody war 
tears fell as he walked out the door 

His mother prayed all night for peace 
asked the lord to let the gun fire cease 
innocent children taken from this life 
pain, explosions, sharp cuts the knife 

dying men decay in the ground 
A solution to peace has to be found 
no more explosio...

Not alone

If you should fall down again
And find yourself needing a friend
I will always be here by your side
Please don't shut yourself in and hide
I will hold your hand through the pain
You will beat these demons again
Together we will pull you out
Of the fountains creating doubt
I will stick with you all the while
Hoping to see you yet again smile
You are never on your own
In my arms you have ...

One Step Closer

I'm running away scared 
But trying to find the light
They hurt me too hard.
Standing here from this height
If I had the courage to do it
I could float among the stars
My chest forming in a pit, I sit.
I'm broken in two halves.

How did I get here?
I truly tried to fight it
Even kept denying it
I can't even hide it

I'm shaking but holding on tight 
The ledge is sturdy but it's high...

Her

He held her so close to him she never wanted to let go.
He told her he loved her, was she really the one?
He promised her forever, but never gave her always.
He was a christian, and she was still finding her way.
He raised her heart so high, then dropped everything she was.
Her heart ached for him, yet he was with another,
she cried so many tears, she felt broken.
She hides all her pain ins...

The flow does not like the sun

The flower has a best friend

That does not like the sun

The flower thinks everything will be good

Because the flow does not want to lose its partner

If love for the sun is so strong

The burning heat will last

But the fact your own friend won't except the light

And decides to sit in the cold and not grow

Love can show but not in a childish manner

To where civilized manner...
