Rock Fist Rhapsody

Why do we feel
that those that can open our hearts
are gods among men
when really they are so human?

Why do we scream their names
Until our lungs hurt
Is it so someone knows
in this moment we are not alone?

You never wanted to be raised above
Yet there you are like a myth
But even those that look like gods
are human even more than you and i at times

You are just a man
And I am human
And we are the same
In our suits of skin and blood and bones

touching you won't make me immortal

Goodbye Hello

Are you ready
for this coming year
and for everything
that it will hold?

Are you ready
for heartbreak
for love
for second chances?

Are you ready
for new beginnings
and failures
and choices?

Are you ready
to hold onto the old and new
and forget the new and old
when it doesn't suit you best?

Are you ready
to become who you were meant to be
not compromising anything
to be that?

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!

Crying Daisy

Sometimes I just want to ask you
Straight out with no strings attached
If you'd rather me
Just walk out of your life

I want to know if you'd think
It would be easier for the both of us
To forget each other
When that's hardly the case.

If my name was just a whisper in the wind
And your name was just a name
Would it be easier
To get on with life not thinking of those things?

After loving and hurting
and crying and singing and lying
and silently admitting our deepest fears
to each other

Where do you get off
Just cutting it off
Without consent
from me?

It hurts too much to think about friends sometimes

101 is You.

So what am I suppose to say?
If I can't speak honestly to you.
What am I suppose to do?
If I can't be close to you.

"Babe, the truth hurts so just accept it."
"Hun, we all got to face the music."
Baby I wouldn't be here if I wanted lies.
Hunny I live to dance to the music.

Maybe I'll just stand here
Waiting
With my arms stretched wide open
So you know you are always welcomed

Into my home, into my heart
Just tell me the truth
Clearly, honestly, real
Because then maybe we can both feel less tense

Because I don't like knowing that this is all I can do for you.

100 equals me

Just a little bit of color.
Just a touch of grey.
Is this the half full or
the half empty glass next to me?

But where do I fit into this?
Am I adding to the colour
or fading back in the grey?
Where do I stand?

Vibrant.
Radiant.
Can you see her
dancing through the airwaves of the pages?

Dull.
Plain.
A hand waves
above the crowd, but you don't see him?

What's the cost
of your soul
When you aren't colourful
When you aren't plain.

Stand up. Stand out.
Splash some color on life.
Get comfortable.
So you don't invade into personal lives.

A balance on stilts
A balance of scales.
A balance in life and death.
A balance in hues.

Let's paint the city with lights.

[Post 100]

Flying in Jar

I never wanted to trap you
To make you feel that way
When the only thing I wanted for you to do
Was spread your wings as wide as you could

I never wanted you to fall
But I'd catch you any way.
That's all I ever did
I always tried to be there

But now your wings don't seem so golden,
they seem to shrivel against the sun
And I don't understand how this could happen
When you were made to resist them.

I thought we'd fly together
But your golden wings are made of wax
I want to save you
But you won't let me catch you

How am I suppose to help you
When you slap my hand away
You said forever, until we were grey
But that must have been a thought from yesterday

I'm still grieving
Not for those beautiful golden wings
But for the person who had them
This chapter never was finished

Can you close it or try to write some more?

Lo Que Será

Che sera, sera
Whatever will be, shall be
But only if I can have you
And you can have me

I can't understand why
people think that they are fine with this
Is it when living is fine
All high and mighty?

But then out of nowhere...
BAM
Someone close to your heart dies
Well che sera, sera to you

Wait, what? Did I hurt your feelings?
Or do you get what I'm saying?
It's either all the time or never
that yo live with this notion

No regrets, che sera, sera
That's how I live
I don't question what happens, or why,
Or what will happen

Still, it's good to be alive
