"Scared of Me"

A new year means resolutions, start overs and second chances. It's time to let those 2012 worries down and leave them in the past. Don't let them burden the true potential that you have! Don't let them hold you down any longer....

How is it that today
Was happy but turned 360.
Lay down my head and scream
Why do they make me so uneasy?

Shame we came down hard
And crushed a lively dream.
So now it's hard to say
What it is you made believe.

I'd rather hurt
Than hear them say.
My dreams at loss
and tossed away.

Said I could be everything
But ended in a dare.
Saying things I thought to see, now
This silent deadly stare.

I'd be remembered
I'd tell our truths.
The things that we did
The lies we broke through.

Too much to set loose
As I burn to its touch.
Let me let free
be what I can be.

I'll break away, shaking free
Show I've changed, you see?
Won't ever let these flaws
Be the definition of: Me.

"What You Do To Me"

There's always that one person you shouldn't want but you know you can't stop wanting them. You light up remembering the good times when you see them but the times when they made you sad linger in the shadows of your mind. You refuse to let them over power the good times. The good outweighs the bad but in the end, sometimes God is even trying to pull us away from the things we're trying to hang onto most....

Why can't I
Say goodbye.
Though I cry
Stay tonight.

Blessed be
You might see
Truthfully
Knowing me.

Can't believe
You and me
Thought we'd be
Everlasting.

Break my hand
A love unplanned.
Partly my
Lucid cry.

Never send
Unwanted end.
Pushing you
To see it's true.

Letting go
Won't let it show.
Recalling why
How I'd try.

Cold winter eve
Clouds haunting me.
Black as dawn
Soon rising sun.

Pleasure strive
Kiss goodbye.
Static shriek
Blind to speak.

Rose in hand
So unplanned.
Accept success
Nothing less.

Try to see
What's happened to me.
Though I've tried
To pass you by.

Such a thrill
Can never hold still.
Remain inside
My thoughts tonight.

Hold you close
Winds arose.
Please, please
What you do to me.

"Unknown Fears"

We'll never know what life has in store for us unless we take chances. We never fail when we fall. We only fail when we stop trying to achieve our goals.

Don't know why I couldn't be
Your only one, your everything.
Drained me of what I couldn't see
Never thought I'd try to believe.

Never believe each day we're here's
To doubt our haunted unknown fears.
Forced within my open arms
Thrown into heart of the storms.

Long to cast these seas of green
Towards the joys of singing free.
Withstand the hurt I'll never stray
Until my strength carries me away.

"Close Your Eyes"

Another piece of comfort to anyone who wants to escape whatever entrapment they find themselves caged in. Find the one thing that allows your mind to escape even if it's only temporary, let it take you away...


This is me
Dare to be
Wait and see
What's beyond the stars.

Galaxies, swaying trees
Beneath summers breeze
The wandering dreams
Of running below these starry nights.

The moon's stare
My raven hair
Suffocate my wonders here
Take me apart as one.

What it takes to be seen
Or even find the MEANING
Of dreams that BELIEVING
One day can be reality.

It's never late to start
Follow my steps in the sand
Come along and hold my hand.

We can make it alright
Push all the doubting aside
Bring faith from deep inside
And close your eyes.

We've lost when hope stands still
When we lost our true will
Desires lost in time
Until your hands in mine.

This is me
Dare to see
What more I couldn't be

Beneath the summer trees
The skies, the tiding seas
A whole new place I can see
Longs to sail with me,
Away in my enchanted dreams.

"The War We Break"...

As I was sitting at my work desk over the summer, I was listening to the song "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan and he sings about becoming something more in the world and that the fights and anger that we hold onto we only lead us to self destruction. Everyone has the ability to overcome those struggles and to set them aside in order to find a better tomorrow.

All the mystery it’s around us

Never doubting it can[‘t] stop us.

Be your hero never stopping

As the faith they always watching.

Never streaming flow to freedom

This believing not receding.

Hold your hope now slowing earths tide

Our true nature fills us inside.

Dance upon the open fields now

As the laughter fill the fields now.

As the grounds they red and writhing

So afflicted when’s the stopping?

Every child all religions

Every dream that we envisioned.

In my reach but slowly drifting

Hope is close now soon believing.

See horizons grace the mornings

Graze across her ancient sightings.

Waters shifting wrath it’s seeping

Drowns the pain out natures keeping.

All the fear that shakes the meaning

All our dreams once misbelieving.

So we go down to the rivers

Face destruction nature’s sinner.

Heroes rise to dream and wonder

Flee the air of crave and wander.

Sings her song now its growing plea

To be free her, try and stop me.
