About Me

My photo
I don't have very many dreams or goals that most people have, some that are definitely unreachable, but worth striving for. Every now and then I write a story in my head or pen a poem down. The only way I know how to express myself through words is through my writing.

Barricaded

Barricaded
Stuck like a bird in a cage
Walls incapable of being broken through
Sighs of relief-
My secrets are safe
"Who am I?"- do you even know?
Am I as fragile as you seem to think?
"Tough as nails"- wouldn't you like to know?
Every moment, the weight increases
"Is this real?"- perhaps
Dreams torture me night after night
"How do I escape?"- no end in sight
Constant battle- both sides are losing
Feet directly planted in quicksand
First impressions- make or break
"It's always either love or hate"- why not both?
Head strong, never breaking
Never a moment of weakness- split second
Truth or lies- which is better?
It's now or never, I've let you in
Too late or too soon- time never wins
Is this me or is this you?
No escape- barricaded.

Just like Lightning

On days like these we could explode,
But we're each other's detonator
One second tells us to stop
But the next could blow
You hold me in limbo
Into a place I never want to escape
I get angry, you get angry
We get calm in a split second
Grab my hands and don't let go
I'm wearing my heart on my wrist
Trusting you so much not to break
Cause I don't know how much to take
I don't want to escape
Grip on tighter and I'll lead the way
Into a place you've never gone before
Spin round and round-
You hold me so high, I never want to fall down
Pick the pieces but don't leave the sharp ones behind
They're what make us, us
Sunshine and rainbows-
The world nor too bright or bleak
But with you, it's complete

Such a dreamer

Are you such a dreamer tonight
Do you follow the light
When it's beckoning for you to come
Reach the rainbow's end
Is there just about anything left to defend
What do you do when there's an outcry
Is the world black and white to you,
Or is that just me
I wanna color the rain that falls on my face
Run with daisies up in my hair
Barefoot in the sweet grass
Jump on shooting stars and sail on Haley's Comet
Dance along with the wind that blows your hair
Are you such a dreamer, that you're holding on tight
Laughter carried along, the sound of love in the air
Are you such a dreamer tonight?
