my mother on the right side and my father on the left
between them my siblings and i sit crowded on their laps or on the floor
we are just children here, babies
All I need-
It could be a million different things,
Like food, water, shelter, love...
Crisp falls or soggy springs.
But if those were no longer available to me,
I think I'd still be fine.
Every thought leads right back to you.
I can’t breathe without thinking you should be here.
I can’t live a life without you.
You are every breath, dream, and hope I have.
All I need
Is a sweet summer breeze
A melody singing in my head
A beat flowing through my body
Lyrics both clean and naughty
Neverending even in bed
A rhythm flows through me
I wave adios
to the boat off he coast
of my little Islet of Langerhans
A silly name for an island,
but appopriate no doubt
because they've gone and they left me
what I can't live without
All I Need In This World Is My Dog Chance…
Have you ever loved something so much that you know you need it?
It may not be human, but you have to care for and feed it.
The love is immeasurable, yet maintained,
Alone
But am I?
Not with Him
I am happier
I am not worried
I need not fear
Some girls
Spend hours
Internet stalking
I'm the last person you want to see.
But all else is empty. Barren. Desolate.
These words are just synonyms for the holes, the tears
In our continuum, in our lives.
I've my own dreams,
and my own desires.
Something for which I'm keen,
want to set the world on fire.
But you are the one who is stopping me,
for who I really want to be.
What you said ain't my will,
People, people, people, we need people
We need others to push us to improve
Without them our good character is removed
In this world of grief and strife,
I carry with me, my one true companion.
This companion is indifference.
I walk through with him,
Never unhappy
Never unsure
All I need is happiness.
I can say this without a doubt,
For there have been times
when I have been without.
I love walks through nature
Looking at the beauty in every tree.
A concert: a safe haven for the fluorescent adolescents who need music like blood that flows through lyrical shaped veins
fueling a pumping heart, fingertips, a voice box.
Smooth and soothing.
Your mind works in curious ways, like the sun only ever reaches it on the days when you let your guard down.Your optimism is much more rare lately.
My life lies in music, in rhythm and sound
in music and theater, my passion I found
my shyness faded from my face
and I welcomed the stage's comforting embrace
and curtsied during the applause
Music helps you escape
from everyday pain,
It's much more effective
than blood from a vein.
It makes you feel
as if you're alright,
Even if
you're about to cry.
Music understands you
This is my life, where I was born and raised and grew and broke. This is the ABC's of my life. "A" as in anxiety for the feeling I got in my stomach when "B" as in bystander's look at me.
When she asked me why I slept with a dictionary under my pillow,
I asked my girlfriend what she would do
if dictionaries didn’t exist and she told me
“Baby, that’s why we’ve got Google”
"Good Monday morning, sunshine!"I bark at you from the side of the bed."It's not that early, honey."Your curly hair swallows your head.
I cried into her shoulder as the day was long and hard.
She held me and told me it would be fine.
She made me laugh when I didn't want to smile.
She made me think through my thoughts.
We are two bodies that sails the body of the sea
In search of our lost souls driven by the riches
We heard of this land by the many in our genration
No one haven't really seen her, only a figment of a long lost dream
If I were Stranded
No matter where I landed
I would survive with my bible
God's word of faith, hope, and love
Would keep my head above
The distress of feeling lost
For with God's advice
One question,
There is one question,
That we are all asked,
At least once in our lives,
Especially in a high school sociology class,
Its,
If you were stranded on a desert island,
I live a nomad's lifeDon't care about the things of this lifeCause they all fade awayI got my eyes on the prizeAnd that's all I need
If someone posed the question,
about what I would bring,
to an island so deserted,
easy would my answer be,
for even though I like to read,
and music is my soul,
without My God my life would be,

She was three when she joined the family.
Energetic, happy, sweet.
I loved her so much
even when she whined
or broke something.
It wasn't that she was perfect.
No one is.
We've all played this game before,
I recall a specific time, and back then I thought it was a bore.
It was seventh grade and our teacher said we all got the answer wrong,
all I need is the
CONCRETE
in my mind
to
stop pushing,
weighing,
DOWN.
it does not matter to think of
their stares.
Something I can't do without?, familial trust,
Better than any currency,
That one may pursue currently,
Valuable, dispite the fact it can't buy much,
Sometimes, the only thing left, when the times get tough,
I see you every morning, afternoon, and night,
and if you're gone it just isn't right.
When you're gone my stomach churns,
and no matter what else I try, you're the only thing I yearn.
Tell the truth, we've heard it before
Even though it makes us close some doors.
Lock them shut and swallow the key.
Hoping it will never be me.
The one who truth makes it's victim,
With it's socalled wisdom.
To gather up your strength,
To gather up your might,
To see the world a little brighter
You need a little Light.
To show where to go
To show the warmth of soul
Underneath the willow tree, during a warm spring fling,
A lad and lass came to spend their days playing on the tire swing.
Playing and laughing, living their life away
The two became one on a summer day.
-Everything is god, a hard concept to grasp.
-To be able to fully understand this means letting go of everything you thought you understood.
-This means letting go of your preconceived knowledge on "how the world works".
needs needs are everywhere,
you cant walk down the street wihout seeing needs,
for me all i need is love.
the one thing everyone seems to be looking for,
the one thing no one can ever find.
Stranded alone,
On a deserted island,
Slowly slipping into madness,
without the aid of one special friend,
who gets me through all my rough times,
never ignores me and makes me feel loved,
It's very hard to figure out what i need most
from my family to the many marvelous friends that i have
but somthing that comes dearly in my heart , is my confidence
I need confidence in myself to move on with my life
Music
Filling the air with sweet melody
Calming the souls of those who worry
Molding the young
And caring o'er the old
Music
Played by some
Felt by many
The feeling you get when there's a perminent knife stabbed stabbed in your chest from a freaking coward who couldnt take the time to really invest..It was like my heart was yanked right out of my chest
