they never say a word.. yet there is this pressure for you to conform.. but tell me? why should you.. its utter nonsense.. don't listen.. not buy into it...

lead me on..
higher and higher
into the sky
 but don't leave me
torn
 
hush now..
 be not afraid
 I want this
but much rather
walk away from it all
 
it brings tears to my eyes..
maybe its for the best
maybe I need this now
don't want to be left
disappointed, broken
 
then when?

brotherhood

watched the show.. it was a tear jerker.. sigh..

through the tears of gladness
and the bond of blood
lies a bind much to behold
a vow of everlasting love
to stick by trial upon trial
 
and in times of uphievals
when shortcomings shine brightest
its these bonds that stand by
a call to share a burden
when one has nothing left
 
all this while the purpose goes blur
and all you see is evil and foe
you no longer fight to save your blood
but a fight for power, wealth and pride
ones selflishness will conquer
 
muster a lifetime of regret
for the life you swore to save
is now dust to dust, you murderer
carry with you the weight of the world
for you've killed your very own
 
he has forgiven you, brother
but you're shrouded in guilt
as you fight to avenge and repay
he fights to bring you back
to the affectionate soul you were
 
and for a split second
you finally listen to your heart
under fire you embrace
to save him and be set free
you, a painful scarifice.

It goes...


The paradox of our time in history is that we have
taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways,
but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less;
we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We
have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but
less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more
medicine, but less wellness.


We drink too much, smoke too much, and spend too
recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too
angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We
have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our
values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate
too often.


We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added ears to life not life to years. We've been
all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble
crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We
conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done
larger things, but not better things.


We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've
conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write
more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish
less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build
more computers to hold more information, to produce
more copies than ever, but we communicate less and
less.


These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships. These are the days of two incomes but
more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These
are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway
morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and
pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to
kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom
window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when
technology can bring this letter to you, and a time
when it controls your life.

Is your birthday day 21 of the month?

can you believe this crap...

Your Life
You are curious and a true follower. You can please someone so much that it
seem like you are trying to charm that person. You hide your disagreement
under your smiling face. This is a charming quality of yours.

Your Love
You are quite unluc! ky in love. You are loved by someone you don't like while
your dream man is so far away. Your love life is occasionally under
turbulence. Sometimes you don't have the clear view of the guy in your
heart.

"Everywhere"

michelle branch

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're, you're never there
But when I sleep you're, you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

summertime

...
there's not a doubt in the world
from where i stand
gardenias & lavenders in full bloom
its fragrance fills the air
sweeps me away
to a world beyond
of prairies and meadows
dandelions dancing in the air
coupling with the warm summer breeze
a scandalous love affair
the land cries tears of joy
and each time you sip a tear
a surge of emotions
warms your heart
telling you
your never alone

honesty

...
to say what i truly feel
would be indescribable
to say what i truly feel
would be disaster
i fear what others think
to face my feelings
in denial and unaware

to say what i feel
would mean the end
to say what i feel
would leave me exposed
my insecurites against the world
peeling away skin
unmasking my flaws

to say what i
want would be unimaginable
to say what i
need would be selfish
serving expecting nothing
is my reality
my dreams beyond reach

to say i
love, would be a lie
to say i
live, is untrue
for i knoe not love
nor lust
my purpose still unclear...
