The Copycat Crime

It truly hurts me to say
That the world we're living
Are filled with people
Who only care about fitting in.

So afraid to stand out
We walk around in crowds
No one wants to say
I'm different and i'm proud.

Can anyone really say
That they don't care about opinions
Stand out from a crowd
And not be a minion.

Follow your own dream
March to the beat
Stand up in the chair
Instead of sitting in the seat.

So, only be yourself
Cause you were born original
If copying is a crime
Then most citizens are criminals.

Relationship Built On Ruins

They say time heals all wounds
And if that sayings true
How come time hasn't repaired
The damage left by you.

A relationship built on ruins
It was never meant to last
But often at times I think
That it went by way too fast.

If life came with a rewind button
I'd use it just to see you
Make every second together count
I'd never want to leave you.

But when that time was over
I'd fast forward back to now
Think about where we went wrong
And quietly ask myself how.

Game Called Life

What is sane
When normal is insanity
Thinking bout life
With no rationality.

Crazy seems to be
A very offensive word
To those who have already experienced 
The many sins of this world.

You're drove to the point
Where normal is a straight jacket
With the weight of the world on your shoulders
The question is, "Can you pack it?"

Can you show the true strength
That we all hold inside
Can you dig down deep
Just to feel that sense of pride.

Or would you just give up
And feel nothing but shame
Cause you lost your last life
And its the end of this game.

The Truth In the Dark

The truth is whispered in the dark
But is lost in the wind
People look ahead in life
Only to catch glimpses of the end

People saying ignorance is bliss
But knowledge is power
They say memories are like minutes
Cause your lifetimes like an hour

They say lies to get leverage
And accusations to point blame
Honesty to gain respect
And truth to bring shame

They say live your life
Like it just might end tomorrow
No time to feel regret
No time to feel sorrow

The truth may be lost in the dark
But very few can see
The real answers in life
Lie behind you and me

Confused Love

As I look around
I see some strange sites
People who were love lost
Now Suddenly they love life.

They found that person
Who makes them feel complete
I found that person too
She just don't feel the same about me.

I try to change her mind
But I realize I'm too late
Cupids arrows missed
And now I must face my fate.

I have tried and tried 
To get you to like me
But is it working
Or is this just my dream?

You send me mixed messages
You make me feel confused
You make me feel so happy
Then you make me feel so used.

But will you be mine
Or will you just hate me
I need to know now
Can I call you my baby?

Heavens Angel

My hearts swelled
My minds failed
My love is soaring
Through the air.

Staring straight
Into your eyes
My heart is flying
Through the sky.

I knew it was love
From the day that we met
You are like an angel
That heaven had sent.

You and I
Are perfect together
I wish for our love
To last forever.

But if it don't
Never forget
That I will love you
Until my death

Together There's a Plan

The sun foretells the future
The moon shadows the past
The clouds cover the promises
That were never meant to last.

Dreams provide escape
From the worlds bitter reality
Sane offers shelter
From everyone else's insanity.

The smiles build up hope
But the tears break it down
For every time you are happy
There's a time where you feel down.

I write these words in hope
That you all will understand
Separate there's a chance
But together there's a plan.

The Truth Hurts To Hear

Why is the truth
So hard to hear
When the past is gone
And the present is near?

Why are lies
So easy to say
When tempers are high
And stress fills your day?

Is it because
They're the easy way out
Of a tough situation
Where you're troubled with doubt?

Or is it because the truth
Is usually hard to hear
For every time it's mentioned
Someone seems to shed a tear.

Or could it be that you fear
Your hope will begin to crumble
For when the truth is spoken
All the walls you built will tumble.

So do you continue to lie
And make things seems better than they appear
Or do you tell the truth
Even if it sometimes hurts to hear.

What Is

What is love without heartbreak
What is pain without misery
What is sleep without dreams
What is life without memories?

What is warm without cold
What is a nerd without braces
What is happiness without sadness
What is a sentence without spaces?

What is awards without effort
Something that can't be achieved
Another example would be
Whats you without me?

A answers all I need
To end all the questions
So I can live my life
And stop second guessing.

Questions

How many goodbyes
Can fit in a lifetime
How many good lies
Can make it seem alright?

Questions asked constantly
No answers ever given
How much death does it take
To forget about the living?

Hopes been slowly forgotten
Faiths slipping away
Sad masked by happiness 
To get you through the day.
