Christ
Words seem to fail me,
As I stare into the night,
The goodness of His glory,
His mercy, and his might.
Oh! To be like Him!
To follow his command!
To cease to give temptation,
A place by me to stand.
To be refined in fire,
To know His truth and light,
To sacrifice my heart,
To win the 'ternal fight.
To share His Gospel's love,
Is my only wish,
His blessings, and his miracles,
Are to great to list.
I feel his love around me,
His sweet spirit fills my soul,
And, after years of wandering,
My heart has found it's home.
Why dont you ever see me
Why dont you understand
You say youll never know me
Is that the way its planned
To pretend it didnt happen
To pretend that Im not there
To pretend that you dont notice
How Im pretending, not to care
I dont care that you ignore me
Thats what I tell my friends
But you know Id do anything
To do it all again
You know that I love you
How can you walk away
How can you leave me standing
Was I ever in your way?
Did you ever see me?
Did you ever understand
You said you never knew me
You say thats how we planned
I dont know what you were thinking
But all I saw was you
I saw you and me together
Thats all I ever knew

I don't know why I curl my hair
It's not as if it matters
My Mom says "My you look nice."
And then it doesn't matter.
I curl my hair, change my clothes
But no on really cares
My peers are wrapped up in their own issues
And no one really cares.
I like this guy (with all the rest)
But he doesn't waste his time
thinking on me. Why should he
Why should he waste his time?
More importantly
Why does it matter
Why should I care
Why
Am I wasting
my time?
I Know I'm so much better than this
These stupid little games
Everyone thinks I'm just outside the box
Their stupid little games.
What they don't realize is
they're trapped in the box
blind misguided and decieved
trapped in the box.
What's so ironic is
I might give it all
up to live that "normal life."
I might give it all
But then I remember
my Lord my God
Who guides me on my way
My Lord my God
And then I know it matters
to be outside the box
might be stressful and not seem like the most fun
but to be outside the box
Means that I know which team I'm on
I know where I'm going
Know what to do
to get where I'm going.

This day will last forever,
Wrapped beneath the skies,
In the corner of my memory,
Your words will never die,
My doubts will still be there,
But I will not fail to see
The fire that I have,
The one you helped me be
I am not alone,
And I am not afraid,
My friends are here beside me,
They never shall betray
And we will stand together,
One people voice, intent.
This day will last forever,
This day for us was meant
Thanatopsis
The earth lies still,
silent, and submissive
encrypted in its snowy sepulcher
Escaping,
for one brief moment
the harsh winds of father time
Waiting
patiently
for the time to be reborn
Fulfilling
the measure of its creation
like the celestial orbs
As the phoenix
rising from it's ashes
light from dark
begins a new.

Alone
I'm all alone,
With my thoughts,
My words,
Myself.
Silent and solitary,
In my pain,
My fear,
My joy.
Sleep will not come,
It is hidden,
Under regrets,
And imagined circumstance.
My conscience is alert,
To all the things,
I should've said,
Should've done.
And yet, here I lie,
Motionless, but for my pen,
Soundless, but for breath,
And hopeless; but for you.
For, I remember how,
You use to hold my hand,
Tracing in my palm,
Things I didn't understand.
I understand them now,
The things you shared so dear,
But you will never know,
For you are nowhere near.
And you shall not return,
I pushed you far away,
You have left me now,
Alone, I shall stay.
Alone I'll be, and waiting,
Until that fateful day,
When I meet a stranger,
Who'll smile just your way.
He'll give me tears of laughter,
He'll help to heal my pain,
We'll work 'longside each other,
And I'll never be, again,
Alone, in the night,
With the scratching of my pen,
And regrets of long-lost love,
Of who I should have been.
My doubts will all be silenced,
My fears will cease to be,
And then I will forget you,
Alone, I'll never be.
