Only the Strong Survive
Stopped at the rest stop with my friend Seth,
He just made the restroom, out of breath!
Came out gasping for air,
Yo Bud!...Don't go in there!
This "Turlet" has the foul smell of "Death!"
I thought I'd sniff about..just for fun!
The pungence hit...and my head just spun!
Bordering on manic,
Seth was in a panic!
Yo Bud!...Could you PLEASE call 9-1-1?

Broken But Still Strong
when I watched my sister die after being hit by a truck
her blood red in the snow
something inside of me broke
I was shattered, a statue, unable to speak
so broken ... but inside of me was a strength
a fire that burned and somehow I healed
when my baby died at birth I was in a trance
as I

The Stone in the River
They said, “You’ll never change the stream,
Your plans are just a restless dream.”
But stones don’t fear the water’s voice -
they stand, they hold, they make the choice
to shape the flow, not drift away.
Around me, currents laughed and spun,
the gifted boats sailed in the sun.
Yet in the deep, I learned to stay,
to read the tides, to

Be Persuasive, Speak Of A Strong Commitment
One knows by the blinking eyes
when someone lies to hide guilt...
even words sound fake on your waking up;
I'm tired of the promises coated with lies:
times and times again I've pleaded to quit,
but obeyed your command turning into a pup!
Be persuasive, speak of a strong commitment,
stick to true words: they're a golden treasure,
don't use me only

I'll be strong song version
I'll be strong
Vs 1
You're getting tired of losing...
there's not enough joy and peace to be found
Sometimes it's better choosing...
to set your goals high, never looking down
(refrain)
Let's be strong together!
Make changes together!
Let's be strong together!
Have the courage to say:
Chorus
I'll be strong...
I'll forget all the pain,
I'll be strong...
I'll learn from my mistakes,
I'll be strong...
I'll be who I

Strong-think v wrong-think'
You can't hold it both ways, In meaning.' You
Are either direct.' Or directionless..And thus
In a mess.' No less-en-ing, yet less kenning will ensue.' Though
You deny..Its more obvious..Showing through'
True.' Reality denying.? I find it at best tedious'
Not to mention trying.! And now cov-idiocy is
Really dying.' Symtoms seen, idio-tantric bouts
And much de-crying..Tantrum-atic antic's its
Virtuless incandesacnt-cy

LOVE STRONG
My loves arms are so strong, they hold me tight all through the night.
My loves arms are big and strong; they can lift me up anytime.
My love is part of me and makes me feel love endlessly.
My love has a way, of making all my sad days go away, making me feel

Summer Winds
Amidst strong winds, John was treading the road
Carrying on his back a heavy load,
It was a pitiful sight
To brave the wind in such plight:
When load fell down, it

Sweet One
Sweet little one,
Please don't cry.
Don’t shed your tears,
Don’t hide your face,
Step into the light.
Don’t be afraid.
Know that I am here,
Know that I am by your side,
Through the thick and the thin.
So don’t you shy away,
You can take on the world,
Face your fears head-on,
Show them what you're made of.
Show the world you’re not backing down now.
Tell

Unplugged
Don't get me wrong
the Olympic men's 50m butterfly
was going along swimmingly strong
but I wonder why
or was it a blunder
when the metaphorical rug
was pulled out from under
by some infernal fool
who removed the plug
from the bottom of the pool
while down the water went
was it hell-bent or heaven-sent
as what was to be gained
when after it drained
puzzled spectators and

Stand Strong
The sun may shine,
but the clouds still arrive
The storms can be fierce
It takes strong will to survive
There's no way to predict when crisis can happen
There is just no guarantee
All the more reason to capture the moment,
to focus, observe and to see
The simple things make a positive difference
They even over ride bigger things around
Second by second,

Rest is revolutionary
Rest was a luxury black people weren't granted
Something we wanted
But couldn't afford it
Our survival was more important
Constantly looking over our shoulder
Wondering whilst we're walking
If this is our last moment
Internally we ask
Are we going to be murdered ?
This for us is a daily burden
Being tired is a privilege we don't get
We can feel tired
But we are

A Strong Woman
She rises with the morning sun,
Unfinished battles, never done.
With quiet strength and fearless grace,
The fire of purpose on her face.
She walks through storms without a sound,
Her dreams are roots deep in the ground.
She bends, but never breaks in two—
The world may test, but she'll push through.
Her hands may ache, her heart may bleed,
Still, she gives
