To Write Love On Her ArmsToday is the day you start a new life
Only you can control when to put down the knife

Whoever you may be, no one deserves so much pain
Remember there are others who feel close to the same
I know it is hard, I know it is rough
To call out to others, to seem not-so-tough
Even if it's hard, you can make it through

Little by little, it's something you can do
Open yourself up to those all around
Very often they'll listen, they won't let you down
Everyone has those negative days

Once in a while, but it's only a phase
Never give up and keep your head high

Hear the birds sing, see the sun in the sky
Everyday live, smile, and laugh
Real
I'd Like A Chance                      I'd like the chance to be human.
            To make mistakes without critique.
                      To smile with no reason to be given.
              To create with purpose.

         I'd like the chance to make a friend.
               To have my heart interact with yours.
           To feel the magic of a hug.
                 To laugh at jokes we only understood.

            I'd like a chance to give it all I got.
                    To show the world what I'm made of.
             To make something more human than human.
                        Not giving a damn to what they think.

         
Let Go
I can't get over this,
Not here, not now.
I'd rather hear the truth,
Than lies full of pity.
I'd rather see you cry,
Than holding this inside.
I'd rather take a fight,
Than see you say goodbye.
I can't get over this,
Not here, not now.
Please just let me go,
You can't hold on forever.
Let go.
Is My Heart Broken?I don't understand
Why my heart beats the way it does
When I see your smiling face.

"Be careful never to be serious.
Ignore slander quietly, without hurting much.

Never, never forget love through
the usual confusion of excitement.

Indulge.
Cry.
Promise.

Smile at nothing;
You’ll find out and laugh.

It’s good to glance up at the day.
Lust after that same day, love, pray; with gentle affection."
