It is NOT a perfect world

Embrace your 'natural'

Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
Never paid his overdue bill
His amazing memory no one could fight
Because a Shakespeare play he could recite

The alter ego of Charles Spencer Chaplin
Was a disaster just waiting to happen
The Little Tramp was clearly oblivious 
That his presence was deleterious

It should be a snow day

I wait, and I wait
To receive a call
You need not come in
For, cold and snowfall
I wait, and I wait
Yet phone, didn’t ring
I brushed off the snow
And now my hands sting

With a heart so big
and love so true
i miss him so much
and he misses me too
hes so special to me
and he knows that i care
ill cherish every moment
and kiss that we share

Sometimes i feel....
like i just wanna die
and see if the outcome
would be better 
than living how i do now
just wondering if the pain 
of committing suicide 
would overcome the pain
that ive suffered my whole life

Here lies Mary Louise Anne Spencer Deligne
She met her end where two roads align
She couldn’t stop her diesel in time,
Hit an eighteen-wheeler carrying lime
Buried her here, she was in her prime

Charles, Prince of Wales
Subject of many tall tales
Married a Lady of nobility
But their union had instability

Lady Diana Spencer
Was a kindness dispenser
Questions arose about how she died
Was there something the royal family tried to hide?...

Time Stood Still

It's amazing, how slow a week can seem
then looking back, in time; where has it gone
the bridges burned and I have learned in deed
that what is right; time holds, where I belong
and I wonder, if I, can still be strong

Im trying
while hes lying
hes crying
while im dying
feelings are changing
and old ones are comming back
which makes up for all this stuff that i lack
just trying to find the strenth
to get through one more day
building up inside
this hurtings here to stay

Yesteryou

Never Underestimate
All the things that make you great
And never let yourself believe
You are any less
Than who you are

Always let yourself be proud
Do your best and you’ll astound
There’s no one else you need to beat
But, yesteryou

And you, will be your best by far

Love

Do you believe?
You deserve to be loved
Do you believe?
It’s about give and take

In, and of itself
Deserve; is a selfish word
And no one ‘deserves’ to be loved

But, to give
Unconditionally

You Deserve
To Love
Another

And with truth
May you reap in all you sow

You walk into the room
like you never  left
you hug me as everythings okay
i let myself forget 
as i fall for you agian
i look into your eyes
you hide your pain so well
i look into your heart
my name has faded
im suddenly scared
i cant hold on forever
for nothing more than this


-Spencer Coggsdale  dedicated to Sergio Sosa...

Choices

When I’m quiet
Do you talk to me?
If I’m distant
Do you leave me alone?
When we talk
Can you understand me?
When I speak
Do you care?

Or, do you look me in the eye,
And ask
“Are you okay?”

Cause I am choosing
Whom, I want
To be a part of my life

And I will choose
Only love

I Am

I am keeping my perspective, I am

Lifting others up, I am
Offering my assistance, I will
Value truth in love
Everyday, I will be the best that I can, I am

Keeping my perspective, I am
Evolving in the heart, I am
Living every moment, I am
Loving every day, I am
Yearning, for the one, that loves me still

A Plea For Kindness

Parched is my skin
Longing for touch
Every nerve is so aware
Ashamed, alone
Stifling thoughts
Encroaching; in my despair

Hurting inside
Unloved, I cry
Gossip, is haunting me

Melancholic nights
Embracing my soul; with pleas

Alone with my tears
i suffer in pain
reliving my fears
as blood starts to drain
growing use to the feeling
of being alone
my heart is never healing 
and its turned into stone
just kill me now
and take me away
i dont care how
i cant bare to stay
it will hurt me more to stay here and try
trust me when i say that i live to die
