A lessons for myself

Things should be concrete,
More than just a dream

***but I'll keep dreaming on and on***

On your knees

Strength is when you let it all pour down
Strength is when you cry your eyes out
When you let the world know how you feel
When you know you’re strong even when you’re on your knees

Incredible Solitude

Incredible solitude
You hurt so much
I never knew him well
But now he’s gone

I feel like crying
Laughing, screaming, jumping
You are a funny one sadness
So much like madness

And that’s the way we’re going
One by one
But he was so young and brave
He had so many here to call his friends

Now I’ll try to smile
For what of him remains
Memories and better days
So solitude, please go away

Heroes don't cry

They say heroes don’t cry
But who knows
Maybe that’s why I’ve never seen you cry

They say you’re greater than life
Who knows,
But I have seen life
Crush you down and make you try

You’re my hero
You still are
You’re the only one
I’ve ever trusted in

Though you are fragile
You’re still my backbone
You are the one I look up to
You must know I will always love you

First loves are never forgotten

A Beautiful Pain You've Caused

A beautiful pain you've caused
Worthy of praise and thought
But the morning announced this ill
That morning I first met you here

I fooled my own self, my heart
And childishly ignored that qualm (hunch)
That warned me against your ways
I made myself blind and deaf

Still now that nothing remains
I ask you to quiet this pain
My sense of loss heavy weighs
Can't move onto better days

And might as I try, I must
I must not deny my cry
It empties this pain inside
This beautiful pain you caused

Shoe Box

If I take away all my sadness
And cut off all of my problems
While my concerns are blown away
My happiness fits in a shoe box
A size ten shoe box

If I eat my fears with sugar
Then clean my sorrows with alcohol
And I hang my tears to dry
My happiness fits in a shoe box

While I shoot dead my illnesses
And smoke up my doubts
I will bury my insecurities
Then collect my happiness in a box

In a shoe box I keep my smiles
And every time I laugh
I fold my laughter up
Then put it inside my box

A lesson in courage (My beautiful mother)

A lesson in courage
That’s what my mother is
A beautiful flower
I was born with in

I thought I could live without her
But she is the air I breathe
I was tired of all her words
But she is my sun, my star, my world

I know I’ve hurt her many times before
But it’s just my stupid way of saying:
“I love you more than I ever did before”
Is immature, I know, I still have a lot of things to learn

I thought I could live far away from her
I probably could, but it wouldn’t be the same
I have laugh of her silly ways
But she’s lovelier than a summer’s day
