Grinnnnning

Show me your scars and I'll show you mine
And in this crazy world we'll shine
Hidden beneath our laughter and our smiles
Are darkened depths that go on for miles
We live right now because we don't know
That all those images are all for show
No greater meaning to our lives
Than dramatic whispers and sorrowful sighs
One day we'll wake up and look around
And wonder why we didn't shut out the sound

Teen Life

Sitting on a seesaw of emotional distress

Wondering if the day will bring release or stress

Riding high the world is bright, all shining sun and joy 

But the bottom is filled with darkness, a soul-less blackened void

To find the equilibrium, the middle point of mind

Is this life's great journey, a path that's hard to find

Questions

Can the soul turn its back?
Walk away from the one
Whose every fibre matches the burning, noon-day sun?
When you catch a glimpse of fire,
Can anything else take you higher?
What if you are already bound?
Promised so long ago
Will the spirit understand or fight to let go?
Strength of conviction is what we need
Unless the fire we continue to feed

Let's go

We are in a state of flux
Neither here nor there nor anywhere.
Whipped by tides of guilt
And swept in a rush of motion.
Our minds all a-whirl
Wondering where we might end up.
Groping our way through fog
We challenge notions of who we are
And demand our slice
Of this so-called life.
