Being High

Being Hugh
Is so I can fly
fly into this dream
i wish would happen to me
No emotions, feels great
but at the same time its sedate.
No matter what happens in life now
wont seem to matter as much
being this way
feels like im under a cloud
protected, and feel no pain
how could  complain
of not feeling pain
My biggest fear is
not feeling again
I mean I can express my feelings
that i have within
But showing that i care
That's a challenge
to work in

How Did I Get Here

How did I get here
It seems to be a bit fuzzy
All the years that have gone by
Why....
did I worry about everthing being perfect
Why did it stress me out?
I have so much doubt
Sometimes I wonder what is or who Im talking about
relaxation and stress free is what life I wanted for me 
But why did I choose to be at the End of the rope
With always having hope 
That the ones in my life
Will devote as much time and effort 
That i strive for in each and everything
I guess one thing Im learning is that each 
individual isn't like me
They don't think or act the same as me
Some people think life is just a breeze
I love the person I am
Just don't appreciate dealing with all the debris

Everyday a Part of Me Dies

Everyday a part of me dies inside
because im crying, why?
How can I move on with me
and live my life as if there was
no catastrophe.
a new beginning
what is that feeling
to be full of life and no worries
like being a caterpillar
and not knowing what will arise
Like an eagle searching for its prey
and not knowing of which way.
What is like to have a coat of fur,
being able to shed off
whatever may occur.
being pure and new
I'd need a magnify glass
just to see that view.

What Do U Do

What do u do
When the love you feel
Is so real?
Love supposed to be the greatest thing ,
So they say ,
Sometimes it is in a way,
But other times not so much
How can you make a love last
When things happen so fast
When you lash out and say hurtful things, in anger
How to know when to separate love from thoughts or doubts, there's been so many I can't count

What Is It I Love

I take one look at you
And think through 
Bout what it is I love about you..
At times I had no clue,
But I really know its true
That I do love you.
Your thinking gives me a wider range
It gives me so many things to rearrange
Your creative ways, of having fun without a dime to your name
Your jokes, may not make sense to me, but you making me smile is all that matters to me
The times you make me feel like a queen, meant so much to me 
It boosted my confidence in u and I making me feel that your my prize
It made me sure that you were only mine, and no one else could take you away
Not in a day, month, or year
Your beautiful body wrapped around mine, felt so lucky inside

All the Pieces Crumble Inside

All the pieces crumble inside
Why do I feel the need to hide
why cant you hold this flaming heart
your just gonna tear us apart
you said we were gonna survive
so why, why do you have to fl,
fly to the other side 
where i couldn't possibly reach
why is t i cant be apart of your life
Is it cause you want the feeling to grow or to go,
Go away, so you can find another
life to fulfill
All i have to ask is were we meant to be
or is this the end of you and me?

The World Today

The world today
Just isn't the same way
The trust is completely broken
And everyone is hoping
That their family
Turns out better 
Than what kids are taught today
Stealing, lying, and cheating
What has this world come too
No trust, security,or loyalty
Every person is free
But ones who make bad decisions
Tend to flee
Leaving there families be
Struggling to survive
Since their loved one decided 
To take a ride
On what they thought was 
The important side

Looking At My Life

Looking at my life
From the outside in
there has been o much sin
I just don't know where to begin
Its like the wind
Put my life in a spin
Which I thought I could fit in
I provide
I survive
Got pride
What's missing inside
Why can't  I just go for the ride
And be happy
With all within
I'm trying to take it all in
But I feel im gonna bend
Bend into this person
I don't wanna be
For I know it won't be me
It'll just be a cover
So that no other person 
Could hurt mr
