Light

I took that picture long ago
When my eyes still held the light.
The light that sang of happiness
And of pure delight.

Now the only way they shine
Is with unspilled rain.
The water moans of remorse
And of constant pain.

Remember or Forget

I don't want to remember
But I don't know how to forget.
Maybe I really do deserve
To always feel like shit.

Dear Friend,

Pain, old friend,
(Or I thought you as such)
I am quite surprised,
For I haven't seen you much.

In this time
You've changed somehow
Always a bitter friend,
I like you much less now.

I do confess
(With a bit of pity)
That I wish
You would not visit me.

Though I resign
And I understand
That it is my heart
That you call homeland.

Just one rule
(That I wish you would follow)
Please keep from my friends
With all of your sorrow.

Now I bid you ado,
(Though I know you will remain)
So that I may sleep
Before the fiery rain.

Always yours,
To my dying day,
Your weary friend,
J

Why?

Why can't you hate me?
I really wish you would.
I know you don't think it,
But you really should.

All of you should hate me.
Friends, family, strangers.
When you hear my name,
You should think, "Danger!"

Why don't you hate me?
It really makes me blue.
Because if you'd just hate me,
Then I wouldn't have to.

Tomorrow

I don't want to sleep
Because when I wake
I'll see that tomorrow has come.

I wish I could make
The night last forever
The cold just makes me numb.

How Many?

How many people ever died,
Because of my harm?

How many people ever cried,
When they needed my arm?

How many people held their breath,
When I was using my charm?

How many people didn't try,
Because all I do is alarm?

Strength

There is strength in numbers.
There is strength in power.
There is strength in mind
And there is strength in hour

There is strength in body.
There is strength in heart.
And it is strength in spirit
That sets us apart.

There is strength in water.
There is strength in rain.
There is strength in joy
And there is strength in pain.

There is strength in truth.
There is strength in lies.
But it is strength of first
That makes us rise.
