Are loud and clear

And there is no doubt you feel you are getting your message across.

Even though I’m afraid I have to disagree with what you have to say, I listen.

And then I say how I feel, and you listen, and the talk continues.

Even though it is clear that this talk will have no winner.

We don’t let it can control the next talk or make it bigger than it is.

Because we don’t all have the answers, and it’s not fair to expect to know the why and how when it’s not our voice that needs to be heard.

Anymore that things aren’t driving me crazy

You don’t see how I feel through my eyes and the action I take to be close to you.

I don’t know if you will continue to ignore the signs right in front of your eyes.

And as you go to take another picture of me, I don’t know how to feel or what to show.

As sadness overcomes me and how you sometimes say having a girl like me would be nice.

But I wonder if this risk is worth it.

I think today I may say something as I’m tired of being quiet about how I feel.

Maybe I can pretend for a little more?

Wondering if I should cross my t’s and I’s and trust you again.

Even though I know you love to lie like I love chocolate.

It just sounds so right in your mind that you can’t stop it from coming out of your mouth.

Just like I can’t honestly resist my favorite piece of chocolate.

You know the lies may hurt sometimes, but you are only out for what is good for you.

And I realize you are not worth it, and I instead do not give you what you want this time.

So go lie and tie someone else into your games, for it’s all the same with you.

You would be nice

As you make me laugh, and the music moves our bodies to the beat.

As our eyes connect and the moments last longer than before.

Things will not be the same as you and I become us.

As your heart beats, so does mine to a melody that only we know so well.

Only time will tell if our melody lasts and become my favorite song.

So weak that the thought of moving takes up too much energy.

And here I sit, only two hours in and nine more to go, and I’m ready to give up.

And yet I can’t, so here I go praying for energy to get through it.

And when I’m done, I will fall and sleep like never before.

As my body and mind recharge for good and maybe tomorrow will be better.

Out of time and patience

As you play your little game,

Seeking little looks my way,

If you wish, I will give you another chance.

But I won’t look your way, as I know people like you will never change.

To the beat of my own drum.

As the beat vibrates around me and becomes one with me.

I realize that nothing can stick to me.

As the music pushes away the negativity that wants to stick to my life.

I realize when it’s just me and the beat everything is alright with the world!
