Push
I push you away like a kid swinging back and forth on a swing.
I love you so much but can't stop pushing you away from me.
Why do I push away the people that I love?
For it will only bring me more pain.
I wanna swing back and not go back and forth on a cold day.
So I will stop pushing and won't resist.
For they are trying to help me not hurt me by letting me jump off the swing.

Stress
The stress piles up like many books stacked up.
You push the books away, but more keep coming back.
You then start getting mean and tired,
And then you realize you should take a break before you let your monster out.
So you plug in your headphones and let the music take you to a relaxed new world.
Now you are ready to get back to work and not let the stress control you.

New
Something new comes your way.
You didn't see it coming but now it is here to stay.
For it might bring out a positive change.
For once in a while we all need to break out and try something new.
For if we don't try we never will know if we will like it.
So go and try something new.
For someone new has been waiting for you.
You just need to start new and breathe in the new fresh air.

Good Citizen
Red, white, and blue are the colors that represent our flag.
People honor our country by saying the pledge.
As time goes by, laws change and taxes get higher.
We start to get mad and frustrated at the government as bills pile up and our money starts going.
We try to hang in there and help America out by voting.
For we are good citizens even when the country doesn't always treat us like one.

Free
Fly like a bird for you are free.
Soar high because that is where you will be going.
For although you are still at the ground your wings will get you higher.
So don't be afraid to take your very first steps and fly out and experience a new world.
You will face obstacles but that is how life works but just keep flapping your wings until you are high.
High above the clouds where the amazing things are.

Let it go
Let go of the past.
Let go of the pain.
Let it all fall from you like leaves on a tree.
For it may look good and pretty at some point,
But then the mask will come off showing the darkness.
Let it go and light will show through your heart.
For you haven't given up yet because you are meant to live.

Search
Keep on searching for there is a path for you.
Keep on waiting for the right person will come to you.
We all get impatient but the wait is worth it.
For the obstacle will soon get smaller and smaller as our path becomes clearer.
So continue to search and you will see a bright light at the end.
For you have been waiting and searching and have found your star.
She is lighting up your path with every step you take forward.

Funk
I am in a funk and I can't get out.
I feel like a door is slowly closing in on me.
BAM!
It finally has closed on me.
I am stuck and scared that I will never get out.
My mind is telling me to quit, but my heart says keep going with every beat it takes.
I guess I need to make a decision.
Before this door is locked forever.
I choose to keep on going and find a way.
There are some people on the other side waiting for me.
My family.

Start
I am at the start again where it all began.
I have been pushed way back to the point where it seems like putting my foot on the gas is a waste of time.
The light has turned green but my mind is still on red.
It Already has stopped moving on only to get back to the where I am.
I can get off the brake but then I am scared I don't know where I will go.
I have lost my control to steer.
For depression is now control of the wheel and wont let go.

Scars
We all have scars.
Some visible and some hidden to the world.
We sometimes try to hide the physically scars because we think it is ugly,
but really having scars is not a bad thing.
It reminds us we can heal and get through the bad times both physically and mentally when we are ripped or torn apart.
So embrace you scars and keep on healing.
For healing and battling is a part of life.
Let people see your scars and how strong you are by healing.
