Depression

 

 

 

Depression

 

I’m so exhausted

from pretending I’m okay

I cannot speak my feelings 

For I don’t know what to say

I’m invisible, unwanted

At least that’s how I feel

When I hurt like this

Nothing good seems real

I look at myself in the mirror

and I hate the sight

It’s not my place to be sad

I don’t have the right

Yet knowing that others are worse off

doesn’t stop my pain

I’d do or say anything

To never feel this way again

Remember

 

Remember when we were

Young and eager

Remember when we were

Sweet and innocent

Though what we

Had was meagre

It seemed enough

Back then

Now times have changed

Things are rearranged

They are not the way

They use to be

But though the innocence is gone

And time is marching on

I know that you

Still love me

Things will never again

Be the way that they were

But we can celebrate

The way we are

Though the past is past

And now will never last

The future is a

Shining star

Walk with me

 

 

Walk With Me

We’re all on a journey

Trying to get somewhere

But it’s not so much about where you’re going

As how you get there

So, my dear, come walk with me

We’ll make this life all it can be

We’ll push it to the edge

Give it all we have

Find the perfect balance

Between good and bad

I know you want to make

your life something, somehow

But I’m here to tell you

Your life is right now

You have to give it all you have

So you can get all you need

You have to look for love

And wear your heart on your sleeve

So come walk with me

Carpe Diem

 

I’m too afraid

To go after what I want

Scared to death

I won’t be good enough

Catch your dreams

Let some go

Or keep them all

No one will know

You’re never too old

To need a hug

Never to young

To fall in love

Try to stitch up

A few broken hearts

Put it all out there

For once don’t be smart

Don’t be afraid

To risk it all

Pick yourself up

Each time you fall

Open your heart

Let the musick in

You have only one life

LIVE

A Cry to Heaven

 

Hungry and thirsty I

come to you

For there is nothing else

that I can do

now

I’ve been wandering here

Alone and torn

And I’ve been hungry and thirsty

Since the day that I was born



Lament and Resolve

Trapped inside my head

Nowhere left to run

Alone with myself

Noone to hide what I've become

The clouds of my dreams clear

And how poorly I show

I imagined I shone brightly

It seems I but dimly glow

I thought to strive for greatness

I've acheived only mediocrity

I cannot blame the mirror

For its poor reflection of me

But I've yet life to live

And live it, yes, I will

Wade into my oceans

And climb my tallest hills

I'll wear my heart on my sleeve

Gain strength from my pain

Live my life to make a difference

Finally let go of my shame

Laugh at least once a day

When it hurts, I'll cry

Do my best to brighten the world

And live until I die



The Song of a Young Girl in the King's Court

The Song of a Young Girl in the King's Court

 

Wise men and sages

Listen to me,I pray

I am just a young girl

Still finding my way

I've walked a little on life's road

I've still a long, long way to go

And though I've much to learn

I'll tell you what I know

 

The wounds you inflict on others

Will never make you whole

If you live for possessions

You'll have nothing for your soul

Compassion is important

A man's true measure in the end

The strongest man is one who turns

His enemy into his friend

 

The strength of an army

Cannot soothe a crying babe

Happiness comes to those who give

And not to those who take

Money and power

Are no substitute for love

The greedy cannot be satisfied

Nothing will ever be enough

 

This is the wisdom I offer you

Humble though it be

I myself am humble

As you all can see

But though I may not know

the secrets written in the stars

I know the truth

Written on my heart
