I Am What I Am

I am what I am 
when you see me at school
I am what I am
Geeky or cool
I am what I am 
when I talk and joke around
I am what I am
Crazy or a clown
I am what I am
ugly or pretty
I am what I am
full of joy or calamity
I am what I am 
standing tall as a tree
I am what I am
and that is, Me.

Love No Limits

Love has no limits
it's patient and kind.
It can take over your body
and sometimes control your mind.
It is unconditional and fair
never losing sight of what's real.
This is a feeling I dare
for everyone in the world to feel.
For this feeling never leaves
if it's real it is always present.
Stealing your heart like thieves
being an amazing blessing.
I am a victim of love
this one thing is true.
I pray to the Man above
that I'll get the chance to say "I Do"

I'M Back

It's sad it took this long to bring me back
Heart broken, trying to get to the right track.
I've been silent for a minute,
I will admit, I found comfort elsewhere.
Little did I know that it would leave me bare.
It couldn't take away the pain,
it only suppressed it, while my faith,
was steadily being tested.
I'm too old to be acting immature
and I'm to young to think I've found a cure.
So, I'm back to pouring my heart on blank paper
and relying on my pen to be my true savior.

Lost

Sitting in my chair
Legs crossed, feet bare
I gaze out the window
Looking for an answer
A clue, a sign, a hint
'Cuz nothing's making sense
A hole in the heart
A head with no brain
A world with lil sunshine
'Cuz it's flooded by the rain
There's gotta be a place
I can go to get away
A miracle, a blessing
Can't undo what's been done
Like looking into the sun
Blinded by what's right and wrong
When it's wrong all along
Lost in a world with nothing to do
I'd give anything to know the truth
But, once again I'm defeated
I shall look no more
Just continue to stay lost
And stop the urge to explore.

Behind a Smile

Behind sunshine are incoming raindrops
Behind a rainbow is a penniless pot
Behind a smile is hidden pain
But, behind every cloud is sunshine
Behind every mountain is a rainbow
And behind every tear is a smile.

Seperation

What seperates the old you from the new?
Is it reaching a new level in life?
Thinking what you want may not be so right?
Is it going from poor to rich?
Or when the roles are switched?
How do you know when you've changed habits?
Because some don't even know they have it.
To some, the seperation is bad for the heart,
To me, it's the beginning of a new start.

The Music In Me

No matter how hard I try
I can't control the music inside me
It starts in my head
then down to my feet
It clouds my brain
so that I'm unable to speak
It's indescribable, unexplained
it's like it knows the real me
It knows what I like
It knows how to make me weak
It moves my body
It heals my soul
It turns me from a nobody
into an artist with a rhythm and a goal.

Slipping Away

There's an eerie feeling in this place,
and it ain't a good feeling
Feels like you're trapped in a case
these four walls enclosing
Life's slipping, slipping away
Worrying, thoughts all screwed up
with nowhere to go nothing to do
Just you in this room, stuck
trapped like quick sand
Sinking slowly trying to grab a hand
You're locked inside
while life's slipping, slipping away
And as you life goes, your smile froze
you begin to fold as tears begin to flow
and still life keeps slipping, slipping away

My Pencil

Everything you've been through
I bet I've been there too
From happy times, to feeling blue
To friends you notice aren't true
In the past trying to hide bruises
left on my heart, body, you choose it
Instead of speaking, I leave no clue,
to my past or present, nobody had a clue
Things on my mind I dont't know what to do!
I grab my pencil 'cuz it's better than someone to talk to
It's my friend, with this I can't lose
It makes me happy, it makes me move
It gives me strength, it helps me sprout
My pencil's the only one who knows what I'm about

Life's Accident

I was driving on the road filled with sunshine. Things were pretty good around this time.
Months later, it begins to rain. Falling down was a lot of loss, but no gain. The rain
grew harder as the months went on. I began to feel it would never be done. Things changed
as the rain turned into ice. Hazard signs showed something won't right. Crashing into an
obstacle at full speed I ran into a tree. "O God! O God! Please don't let this be the end
of me!" I then find strength to get out and walk down the road, finding faith to walk in
sunlight and out of the cold.
