  1. You run through a field of daisies And find a single rose You give it water, nourishment and light But it refuses to grow You place it in a vase of glass Confined and alone You devote your life, time, and strength to it But you can't seem to get through to it And then it slowly dies away You bury it in the ground And run again through the field of daisies To pick another that you've found
  2. On Our Own We spend the hours slaving away To prove to the world we can make it through the day We hide our faults, conceal the truth Underneath it all is our only proof We make them want us more and more But beyond all that is false is a closed, bolted door We lie to ourselves to be loved for an hour To give us a sense of false hope and power We turn from Jesus cause He "won't understand" So a stupid boy will hold our hand We need to wipe off our faces and change our clothes To show the world we can make it on our own ------ So i'm gonna write a poem now So i'm gonna write a poem now Nothing too soft or sweet Not one of those poems about love or peace Just the kinda poem that makes me me So i'm gonna write a poem now If only i knew where to start Nothing too plain or cliche But nothing too happy or bright So i'm gonna write a poem now I wonder what to say Or should i just put my pen down And write another day So i'm gonna write a poem now Not another poem about you I'm really getting sick of those I think you are too
  3. Wow, you ARE good, keep up the great work alex
  4. Speeding on by without a care in the world You look out shyly as the fireflies twirl Only one way in, one way out But still your mind is filled with doubt Scenes flash before you but there's no time to look As you flip through the pages of your romance book People surround you but you couldn't feel more alone Each on their own journeys with their own way to go The colours race past you, beautiful as can be But you have no more time left to see Far away from home you make your way Down this straight path with nothing to say Cursing the man-men and beating the damned Feeling the skin of your lost lovers hand The rocks build up slowly as we lay our scene A cursed hand wraps around your echoing dreams But wildflowers bloom in this sea of despair They make their way home without a worry or care You know of nothing to come or what will come after Your cries drowned out by a small child's laughter ---------------- The rainbows are slowly fading black I've wasted all the time I can't get back You say it's not too late, so save this The blue skies are quickly fading gray I have no more words left to say You say you want me, so take me And as the rain is pouring down My feet are slipping on this ground You say you know me, so tell me Why is the sun bleeding into the air? Why does it seem like you care? You say it's not real, so prove it So here we go for the 100th time Searching for the words that just won't rhyme You say you can't leave me, so love me ------------------ Always put your best foot first Sustain your hunger Quench your thirst Praise God you're alive, for it is His will Treat smiles like drugs And hugs like pills Savor the moments you want to last Embrace who you are Don't cling to the past Songs don't have to be deep for people to sing And love isn't measured by the size of the ring When it's cold, wear a jacket When it's hot, show some skin Just think of this wonderful world we are in It may not be perfect There's war and there's hate So when it comes to love, why do we wait? If you love her then tell her Life's all about risk Eventually we all fall for this world's silly tricks Smile in good times Cry in the bad Just remember the wonderful journey you've had
