The dawn isn't close enough,
yet I am jolted awake
from a dream that felt
like a time machine,
throwing me back to the past, so mean.
Who has resurrected
this silly girl I once was?
I thought I'd left her buried,
dead and forgotten in the past.
Now her restless spirit has returned,
trying to take over
this same old body, heart, and soul,
if possible, swallowing me whole.
The current me is struggling
to keeps what's been mine all along.
Still, she is so damn stubborn,
demanding that she too stay in the present.
I wouldn't be having this breakdown
if she weren't carrying you in her mind.
This is not the time
to let her stick around.
Perhaps I must exorcise her again,
before she starts giving me a lot more
than this nonsensical, 3 a.m. breakdown…
R.

We grow old, we get wise,
But still we join those who dies,
We give direction to the young,
don't sing a song so well sung,
But if they agreed and followed suit,
in the end we'd all be mute,
For nothing would change, nothing be new,
not for me or not for you.

I really don't like the way you think, I really don't like your granite sink,
I really don't like your taste in food, I really don't like your precious mood,
I really don't like what you say, I really don't like everyone else must pay,
I really don't like that it is true,
I really don't want to be like you.

Who decides?, who hides?, who becomes the leader?. Who becomes the feeder?
Who creates the fear?, Someone near?,
Who knew?, not me or you?, who knew?
Who knew that we'd be here?, who knew?, who shed a tear?
No one knew, this lasts for eternity, never ends, so lets be friends.

Secret intelligence from the survelliance "mast",
shows life cant continue,
it's growing too fast, ozone layers, emissions from cars,
carbon footprints, it just can't last,
The earth is heating up all too soon, the ice cap
is melting, it's not even June,
What did we do to cause this disaster?, are we the reason
it will be over faster?
The only way (they say) to save this planet, reduce emission,
ask for permission, don't take it to heart, you JUST can't
FART!

For those who care, the end of today signals
A new tomorrow, and for those who fear,
A new day will follow,
For those that want to know, take the path
Where you can grow,
Who you are is who you were, one day,
You will come to know.

When the flowers fail to bloom, when tomorrow comes to soon,
When all that I could be was all that I could see,
When yesterday is a memory, of what could or could not be,
When today became the reality I thought I'd never see.
When thoughts collide who will decide, the way that this should go,
When we don't know, and we can't tell, who did survive,............................................... or who fell,
When all we have to give, is all we have to give, and all we want to do, is just like you, ...............Live!

I think I have lost tomorrow, it was here yesterday, I have searched in everyway, it wont reappear come what may, So, I must adhere to what is here, so tomorrow is now, and this is what I see, what tomorrow will be, a new future for you and for me!

Flowers and trees, birds and bees these I know, but.....
snow, on a summers day, this I don't know, what I see,
is an anomaly, mother nature running free?, natural change?
we can't rearrange or self design, have we crossed the line?

So, imagination IS creation, I imagined you, you imagined me and that is what we see,
Simple at first, but complex over eternity!, constant imagination creates complication,
And now, we find ourselves HERE, in constant fear, of life and new creation, we probably should start anew, new me, new you, NEW what we imagine is true.
