Premium Member Overtime
On the schedule 
Very often unplanned;
Energy depleted but on demand;
Rarely appreciated 
Taking one for the team,
I don't even fit into;
Money is the goal? Ha!
Everyone. Anyone. But me...

Two Shots In the Sky
Two shots in the sky
And one in your eye
Take one for the team
And strut down to first
I’ll cheer you on
If you promise to make it home
But Lord, oh Lord
You’re blind on one side now
And you took a wrong turn
Towards infinity...

Depression
Depression is a battle;
an ocean;
a sea of emotions;
a constant battle within yourself.
You're constantly fighting to stay alive.
But, how do you fight a battle;
with thousands of demons against you and no one on your team?
You either win
or
You die trying....

Cliches Away
Three sheets in the wind
And rubbed the wrong way
By a fair weather friend
You must seize the day

Let your hair down 
And lay down the law
Be the talk of the town
With your last hurrah

With all your high hopes
Few and far in between
Up against the ropes
Taking one for the team

Play your cards right
No guts no glory
Still High as a kite
The same old story...

For a Mate
Always a smile sitting there with a grin
He was one of the team would back you right in
But behind the laughter there was real pain
You see it was the last I never saw him again

One night when it was too much to bear
He took his service pistol and ended it there
So the laughter has faded out and sorrow fills the air
Surely the question to be answered is help and not despair.

"The American Way"


On a 2008 cold brisk Winter's Day
  Americans voted and joined to pray

Changing its history
  with songs of glory

Freedom´s regal souls
  stood tall and bold

Renewing Dr. King's dream
  one America, one Team

A day etched in infamy
  if never again to be

Brave Americans
  took a stand
  on the promised land

Premium Member We Are the Cheerleaders
We are prancing in place with a joy that is catching.
Our pony tails are flying; we are dancing and batching.
We are the cheerleaders, so pretty, persnickety with perk 
None of us will end up with an ickety loser or jerk. 

We are the cheerleaders, let us kick high and mighty.
Our hair is fly away beautiful, and we are all flighty.
We clap in rhythm, each thrilled to be one of the team.
We prance, dance, flip and twirl,  never running out of steam....
