I Always Thought

i always thought being true was being happy
but i guess i thought wrong
i always thought when i was i love the other
person would love me back
but i guess i thought wrong
i always thought being a friend meant
happiness for both 
but i guess i thought wrong
i always thought i would find the perfect
person that wouldn't hurt me 
but i guess i thought wrong
i always thought love was wonderful 
but i guess i thought wrong
i always thought being real meant it was a
complete deal
but i guess i thought wrong

My Savior

These thoughts
These emotions
There all lost
They run through my mind
As if they haven’t anywhere to be

The pain
The dread
Its what I feel
My heart screams
My head pounds
And my body
My body too weak to move

How can I bear
This hand in which I have been dealt
This life in which I have chosen to live
Only god knows
And only he can tell

For he is my Shepard
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
My savior and creator.

Do Without You

what would i do without you?
telling me what is right from wrong
always there for me when im down
there to pick me up
what would i do without you?
talking me out of stupid crap that will
ruin my life
FOREVER
what would i do without you?
in my life helping me make decisions
leading me to the right road 
and keeping mefrom destroying my entire
FUTURE
what would i do without you?

Innocently In Pain

holding your hand after a 5 hour surgery
you're so beautiful and you look so peaceful 
i know you are in pain and can not respond
i wish i could tell you how i feel right now but the
words will not come out
if they would they wouldnt be right
all i can do is cry
my stomach is in knots
but my heart is in pain
nothing like the pain you are in
i can only imagine how you feel
holding your hand closed eyes
trapped in an innocent face
unlike the face ive once seen
although your hope is running low
your heart is flying high
if only i could tell you how i feel
if only you could see how much your family really 
cares then maybe you would understand how I feel
and maybe you could tell me what i wish i could say
