We're all just passing through... And theres no point clinging on. Just put both hands in the air and shout F it - Bring it on!!
Bring it on, the good and the bad
Watch as we embrace and release
Poised in the void, heart’s never sad
Frolicking as our soul does please
We are free, living in the now
Bring it on, the good and the bad
Vibrant presence takes a light bow
Being always in bliss mists clad
A rebel, we follow no fad
We alone feel, God’s spark within
Bring it on, the good and the bad
Our heart is pure, we’re free from sin
We are in but not of the world
No wonder then, we are called mad
Heart lotus blooms, love is unfurled
Bring it on, the good and the bad
Kinda lost right now.
Do not know how
To point myself in the right way
Stuck in today
Did not think I would be alive
All that jive.
Did not make any plans on what to do
True
They give me more life
Add to my strife
More lonely for me
This is what I see
No one to talk to
No me an you
Sitting out in the wilds all I know
It does show
I want to leave
For what has been lost I grieve
No trick up my sleeve
My dog and I
Reach for the sky
Teardrops none see fall
Huddled backs against the wall
Thankful to be alive, do not get me wrong
Life takes so long
What do I do next
Not to be taken out of text
Looking only for beauty to fill my eyes
Clear blue skies
Love is but lies
Back away from that ledge
Standing on the edge
Hope for a better tomorrow
Love, you can never borrow
Hearts hold so much sorrow
More lonely days
Lost is my care free ways
Looking for home
To tired to roam
None in sight
A long cold night
I am the light
Standing strong
Life gone wrong
Turn this page
Lifes ever changing stage
Bring it on
Bring it on
I will survive
Long as I am alive
salt spray on my face
wrapped warm in foul weather gear
feeling so alive.

i cannot lie
i won't enjoy my dinner
without my glass of wine
i've tried
no use denying
it's exactly what i need
to crown my day

BRING IT ON
Bring your unreachable,
Bring your difficult,
I am tough,
Bring your burdens,
Bring your depressed,
I’ve gone through rough,
Bring your exhausting,
Bring your untouchable,
Know all that stuff,
Bring your unorthodox,
Bring your unspeakable,
Bring on the powerful,
I’ll call their bluff,
Will take them by the scruff,
For I have had enough!
As the miles roll by,
I look at the gray sky
I have to say,
Another storm is on the way
But the mountains hold their shine
Snow covered white, clothed in line
And the lake, it starts to smile
With melting ice for a while
So I say…bring it on!
The storm will show me more to see
I say….bring it on!
Let the changing come to be
I ride with wonder in my mind
And I stop for what I find
Through nature’s evolving door
Always looking, thankful for more
And through the door, happiness grows
What you may see, no-one knows
Emerging like the moon or sun
Skies always changing for everyone
So I say… bring it on!
The storm will show more to see
I say ….bring it on!
Let the changes come to be

As I look down at my bloody knuckles,
Crying tears of agony my eyes refused to shed,
I realised how pointless it was
How pointless to pretend, to believe.
My hand trembles as I pen this,
The flow of words, more powerful than any strike,
My one solace, my get away.
When I look around,
I see the faces of my tormentors,
Jeering at me,
Accusing me of crimes unthought of.
I delve deeper into my pain,
My fury- my agonising drug.
As I build up my walls,
Look my tormentors in the eyes and say: 'bring it on!'
He was a hell of a cook
He could make anything in a bathtub
Brew some **** up put you out of your head
Make you want to worship the devil
And follow the Black King
A spiral in the dirt
A stick in the ground
Naked people dancing around a fire
Trying to spread their wings
Angel whispers in your ear
Might get you killed
Got no family
No place to go
Everyone is a ghost
You just hit a wall
White powder on the coffee table
We don’t have to talk
You’re hurting and real drunk
A.K.A.: lonely and dangerous
Bring it on home
Yeah bring it on home
A new day, start of a new year,
may it be full of gladness and cheer;
bring happiness to friends and relations,
bring glory and friendly salutations;
bring contentment to your existence,
relieve all your stress and resistance;
bring great wealth in time of need,
bring you healing with God speed;
bring love for your very own heart,
a love from which you will never part;
fill all your days with love and wealth,
give your mind and body great health;
expand your growing love soul to soul,
love and your purpose is our only goal.
GLOBE WARMING BRING IT ON
Closing down sales in fur-coat shops
Polar bears amble past Madison Avenue bus
Miami people swim to work
Fry bacon free on sidewalks and building-tops
Rush for sunblock of 4000-plus
Ice-cream for dessert? That’s a perk
To start - fresh salsa with chips;
then that combo plate:
Cheesy enchiladas, beans,
and beef tamales
smothered all in sauce.
Mine’s wicked
hot!
Go ahead break my heart
Break it into pieces you see
Break it
I can take care of me
My heart is turning to stone
My heart will always be alone
Never letting someone in
It hurts too much
To ever begin
So go ahead
I’m a tough girl
I can take anything from this world
Give me what you got
A pushover, I am not
Bring it on baby
Bring it on
Seasons
slip into one
in the spring,summer sun-
as nature unveils her floral
displays
Love in a vortex, tempest savaged;
Slammed to euphoria, broken, ravaged;
Breathing volcanic, incinerated;
Rocketing skyward, motivated;
Lodged in a crevice, trapped, imprisoned;
Bestowed on the blinded, sight envisioned;
Carved on a headstone, legend hammered;
Roared from the rooftop, cacophony clamoured;
Ripped on the railings, torn and tattered;
Buried with honour, illusions shattered;
Sweet resurrection, finger licking;
Bring it on down, alive and kicking...
