alone as we know
we have lost our way home
can't call for help
just left alone to think
standing in the dark
feeling confused and scared
our minds and hearts going crazy
arguing about which way to go
and how to feel bout being alone
time stops and you wonder
which way is the right way
hard decsisons need to be made
but we can't think straight
alone as we know
can't call for help
just left alone to think
standing in the dark

You are who you are,

So don't stand in the dark;

Catch all of those dreams in a jar.

Don’t distance yourself so far,

Make your mark,

You are who you are.

Wipe away those tears, heal those scars

Memories permanent like stretch marks,

Catch all of those dreams in a jar.

Shine like a star,

Love all of your beautiful quarks,

You are who you are.

Like a cat just rawr,

Float around like a monarch,

Catch all of those dreams in a jar.

Raise your own bar

Spark the great big spark.

You are who you are.

Catch all of those dreams in a jar.

Don’t trap the love behind bars,

Remember it left you scars-

It will consume you like the waves below,

Don’t let the pain grow.

Let the worries float away,

Let it go I say-

I say let it go, the loves that destroys the soul,

Be careful it will swallow you whole.

I know it feels like a ton,

But let them go, you still have won-

Let them be free and then you’ll see,

How it feels to be stress free.

In my heart, through space and stars,

I know you won’t be very far-

But like I said I’ll let you go,

It really hurts, but I still love you so.

A Dog- no other companion like one,

Comforting and always near when needed.

Lifting my heart when it feels like a ton,

A bestfriend that should not be mistreated.

Love so sweet like the sweetest candy,

Eyes so big when begging for attention.

A dog so caring will come in handy,

Heart of gold do not forget to mention.

Tricky to care but you will not forget,

Wettest kisses with the stinkiest breath.

Making memories you will not forget,

You will love always even after death.

Always know you will never be alone,

When you have a dog to call your very own.

I was not chosen

The love goes to someone else

Why would I even wait?

Waiting so long for
Something so impossible
What is even the point?

A waste in my time
But you are still on my mind
Why do I still try?

It’s absurd that the world won't except very much

To mix races and create beautiful creations

Different things in one individual

Acceptance is the way we must live

To keep the world spinning like it is

I love seeing different people

Different shades

Speaking in many different ways

Our culture in the world keeps us going

While the diversity keeps on flowing

Treating everyone the same

Even though we are all a different race

Nationalities worldwide

Will keep this world tied

I myself am different races

Glad I am made of different places

Me encanta el mundo

And the different faces

I believe in strong hard working people.

I believe in living life to the fullest,

No matter what challenges seem to get in the way.

I believe in love,

Full of passion and care.

And I believe in bonding over something special.

I believe in the rebellion that comes along with all the love.

I believe in sharing a laugh

Humorous times together, making life worth living

Living beyond all expectations.

I believe in surviving

Through thick and thin

Challenges low and challenges high.

While riding the wave of live

Trying thrive.

I have seen people come together.

I have seen them get along,

And hurt one another

I have seen hell

And darkness above,

Believe it or not

I have seen it all

Through it all

I have been alone,

I have been home.

Where I’ve never been alone.

I have been straight up

Which no one likes

Too much truth

More than they’d like.

I have been hard working

Conquering it all

I have been on a team

Which is like dream.

Being with people that are like me

Helping one another like small bird

And a bigger friend .

I need confidence

All the time right by my side.

Can’t forget it,

I feel lost without it

I need the courage

That comes with it.

I need freedom,

To soar without a worry.

I need motivation,

To get me through the day.

I need love.

I need to speak up.

I will become a doctor.

I will become helpful,

People will alway come to me.

I will become brave.

For everyone.

I will become stronger,

Stronger than ever before

Physically

And mentally

I will become me.
