Inward/Outward

Sometimes I wonder about people. Why people do the things they do & think the things they think. Why people say one thing and do another, and in turn, do one thing and say another. How can someone be do different on the outside than they are on the inside? They’re not being true to who they are and if they truely have anything..it should be themselves.

Strong

I'll pick myself up off the floor
Go to where I've never been before
Wake up to another day
Let my inhibitions fade away
I'll be brave in the moment of danger
Put away my face of anger
Show others how to live
To them, this is what I hope to give.

My Novel

I'm tired of knowing what's coming next
I'll pick up the pen and write it in
Find meaning in my own text
Let it sink in
Grab a new book
Start over again
With a new look
Don't judge a book by it's cover
Get to the last page
And when it's over
I'm gonna close this chapter
Open my eyes
Turn the next page
And start a new life
The title is my name
The chapter is my age
The conclustion my eulogy
But that'll be ok
Because I became who I wanted to be

Don't Give Up

Your under her hand
She pushes you down
Pushes you around
History is your only common ground
She's your life
Your wannabe wife
You don't see
She doesn't want you to be
Who you want to be
Your afraid to be who you are
Keep your feelings in a jar
Tell her how you really feel
Tell her your feelings are real
You know it's wrong
So hold on
Be strong
And don't give up.
