Why?

Why do you

smile

when all around

there is

devastation?

 

Why?

Why do you

cry

when you are

surrounded by

friends?

 

Why?

Why was

the bridge

built

to be

destroyed?

 

Why?

Why does the sun

rise

every morning and

set

every night?

 

Why? 

Yeah, I'm crazy. Oh look ninja unicorns on double rainbows dancing to Gangnam Style...

Crazy RollercoasterYou are something
that can soothe me
or destroy me
with a single command.

You can give a gentle caress on skin.
You can initiate a war between us.
Your words bring passion and love.
Your words bring hate and sorrow.

You will hurt me.
You will scar me.
Then you will heal me.
But that never,
ever,
lasts.

You cut up my heart,
then sew it back together
on thin strings
just to snap it apart.

Words stream endlessly,
Cutting,
Bandaging,
And cutting some more.

I feel alive
when I’m with you;
like I'm on cloud nine.

But you push me away
with your words.
Later,

reeling me back in
with that touch.

Should I take that risk?
Ride that c
Slow DanceSlow Dance
Have you ever
watched
kids

On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to
the rain

slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into a
fading
night?

You better slow down

Don't
dance so
fast

Time is short.

The music
won't
last

Do you run through each day
on
the
fly?

When you ask How are you?
Do you hear
the
reply?

When the day is done
do you lie
in your
bed

with the next hundred chores
running through
your head?

Yo better
slow down

Don't dance
so fast.

Time is
short.

The music won't
last.

Ever told your
child,

We'll do it tomorrow?

And in you haste,
not see his
sorrow?

Ever
Am I?Let me ask you this
Am I selfish?
Egotistic?
Arrogant?
Do I only care about myself?
Am I that careless brat that does nothing for anyone?
Did I just want attention?
Complain and cry because of a twisted ankle?
And that’s not all
Am I spoiled?
Do I care only for myself?
Do I never ask of anyone else? Am I really that far along?
Or was it maybe it was the family?
The one that wants bragging rights; the one that wants the grades like that perfect cousin
Ha! Just like me, making excuses
There are none
Am I?
MakeMake
Make a statement
Make an impression
Make both ends meet
Make the connections
Make the pieces fit
Making everyday count
