Pressure To Be Someone I'm Not
i may not truely know you,
but you make me want to be,
a better me,
i know i deserve better,
i just didn't want to leave the confort,
of being somebody,
other than i know,
we haven't talked long,
but i felt that you been more real,
than anybody in my life,
you listen to what i have to say,
you understand kinda of what i'm going through,
you show me that it's okay,
to let a certain part of me shine,
the part some ppl take for granted,
as i open up,
i'm being the real me that some don't accept,
they can't understand the pain,
and the struggles i go through,
day after day just to appear happy,
but deep down,
i'm not truely happy,
i'm pleasing ppl just to feel loved,
i let them control me to a certain point,
until i realized they took me off a path,
the path of life,
that has more meaning than the path,
that they had me on,
i don't want to just settle for good,
i want to be great,
it may not happen tomorrow,
but it will happen somewhere down the line,
i'm just me and that all i can be,
i just wish ppl will see me for who i am,
not who they want to turn me into.

In A Breath
Life is only one breath after another,
We are the ones who control our breaths, not oneanother.
A breath is all it takes,
To make a breath.
In a breath you could stop,
In a breath you could drop,
In a breath anything could happen,
In a breath anything could happen.
Life is the journey down a pathway,
Of which stones are breaths that show you the way.
A path to eternity, to forever.
Where you shall stay forever and ever.
In a breath you could die,
In a breath you could fly,
In a breath anything could happen,
In a breath anything could happen.
Tomorrow is yet a turn,
A turn you may not reach, but only a breath can determine,
You don't know when your final turn comes.
You do not know what you will become.
In a breath you could win,
In a breath you could sin.
In a breath anything could happen,
anything could happen.
Life is but a breath,
Air is but a breath,
In life you will find the truth,
And find air is the proof.
In a breath you could find nothing,
In a breath you could find everything,
In a breath anything could happen,
In a breath anything could happen.
You travel down a river,
Where bubbles are breaths and you are the giver.
The giver of ripples, of currents,
Of which for endurence.
In a breath you could loose,
In a breath you could choose.
In a breath anything could happen
In a breath anything could happen.
Follow the river of dreams to the sea.
This is eternity you will see.
Breath avery breath,
As if it were your last breath.
In a breath you could sail.
In a breath you could fail.
In a breath anything could happen,
anything could happen.

Life...life...life..
life is where ever we stand for it
life is just a simple journey
life is what we make it
life is no nothing if we silent about it
life is crush if we turn the wrong path
life is very serious if we choose wrongly
life will not come if not in search
life is easy if we know which kind I overcome
real life is very simple
it all matters very happy we just need to understand the problem of the future
real life is very exciting
life is SWEET.
Do You Ever?
Do you ever?
Dream that you live in a world where you can be happy forever and have a great life
I did and everything just got turn around and twist
Everything is not good and feel like it all your fault that this happening
You can't blame yourself for what happen because
What comes around, goes around
Do you ever?
Dream that you live in a world where life is perfect and nothing going happening
I did and stuff happen and at end
Everything is ok for me
I learn that I shouldn't blame myself and just live with it
I know that sometimes I look back on what happen and I learn that I need to just let it go and move on
Do you ever?
Dream that your life is going stay same
I did and out of no where
This happen and I didn't expect it
At that time I didn't know what to do and
Feel like it all my fault and wish it never happen
Do you ever?
Dream that you live in a world where you can be happy forever and have a great life
I did and everything just got turn around and twist
Everything is not good and feel like it all your fault that this happen
My advice to you is don't be upset with yourself
Try to go along with what happen and remember is not your fault
Do you ever?

Lifes path
There are so many paths in life
I guess I could say
I ve walked them all
The right path
The wrong path
The path of pain
The path of good
The path of bad
Which path do I now take
At this present time of life
The path I take is the path of pain.
The path of hurt
So many paths I have walked
But im lost in the path
The path of pain

On That Path
I'm on that path,
So was my mother,
I'm on that path,
Just like my brother.
I'm on that path,
I didn't know my father,
I'm on that path,
And i am the master.
I'm on that path,
upon the good, straying from evil.
I'm on that path-
There is no cheating.
I'm on that path,
God knows i need him.
I'm on that path,
and i hope i'm never leaving ;)

Giving In To The Pain
world not all that it seems,
it's a cruel place,
where things happen,
without an explanation,
i use to think there was a reason,
to why things happen,
now...i don't know what to think,
nothing is making sense,
i want a way out,
but don't know how,
i'm sick of dealing with pain,
it something i can't control,
but, it seem to stick to me like tape,
in some shape or form,
i think of one way out,
just to be free,
from this life i call prison,
nothing seem to change,
life still gets the best of me,
sometimes family can't understand,
to them,
i'm not suffering,
it's all in my head,
to them,
i'm just crazy,
because i'm different in a way,
they just don't understand,
i doubt that they ever will,
i'm doing everything i can,
just to seem fine,
they don't know,
i'm missing everything in my life,
my happiness i had in life,
everything i had going for me,
i would trade life,
just so i won't feel this pain,
i know life has pain,
why this much?
what the point?
i'm hating myself more,
should i just give in?

Life is a Journey; Not a Destination
The time has come
To say good bye
I gave it my all
I really did try
I took your heart
Which I broke in two
I tried to fix it
I did all I could do
Your eyes once warm
Now dead and cold
Your words once soft
Now cutting and bold
I became the man
You knew I could be
But now it's too late
These changes you won't see
You live in my past
Not here in today
Tomorrow doesn't matter
Our dreams washed away
You need to be happy
So I need to go
These changes to you
Are only a show
I bid you farewell
I wish you the best
I hope you find peace
I hope you find rest
I hope you find life
How you want it to be
I hope you find love
Even if not with me
My journey continues
Even if I'm alone
My Lord God will guide me
To wherever is home
For He knows my heart
And he knows my soul
In him I do trust
I am not alone
For the day will come
When I know his plan
I once was a boy
But now I'm a man
Even though I feel weak
I know I am strong
My path it is narrow
My path is so long
So I bid you farewell
And I hope I will find
That your path is not different
You're just two steps behind
For this is life is so short
And I have no control
My one living wish
Is to be one with your soul
It may not be tomorrow
But in the next life
Eternity together
As husband and wife
Take care my sweet princess
Take care my best friend
I will love you forever
As time has no end
On my path I continue
My heart it does know
Where God wants to take me
So with Him I will go

How I Feel About You Now
I just realized
How I feel about you now
I love you and want to be with you forever
Please baby give me a second chance
I wish I can take back that day
I was dumb for letting you down
I'm so sorry
I can't go another day without you
I can't take it anymore with us not being together
I just realized
How I feel about you now
I love you and need you here by myside
Please don't walk away and move on
I was wrong about you
Great things could happen
Nobody gets me like you do
I feel so stupid
There is not going be another great guy like you
There is a mountain between us, we can over come our fear and be together
I just realized
How I feel about you now
I love you, want you and noone else
I bet is take another chance to make it happen
So don't let all good times that won't happen come true
We be happy and
All our wishes and dream will come true
There is no need to move on because
You're the one
You're everything that I ever want
I just realized
How I feel about you now
I love you and want you here with me
When I'm sad
You're the one
Who can make me laugh and smile again
At end I feel much better all because of you
Baby you are only one who understand me
There is nothing you can do to make me not love you anymore
I'm always going be right by your side to the end
I just realized
How I feel about you now
I love you and want to be with you forever
Please baby give me a second chance
I wish I can take back that day
I was dumb for letting you down
I'm so sorry
I can't go another day without you
I can't take it anymore with us not being together
How I feel about you now

Can Anybody Understand?
can anybody understand?
my struggles i have,
to live in this life,
and hardly getting by,
can anybody understand?
that i wake up,
wondering if it was
all a dream,
can anybody understand?
all i ask for is to be me,
who that is,
i don't really know,
deep down,
a girl is trapped,
bagging to get out,
of this life she was given,
does anybody hear,
the cry for help,
or the pain she feels,
when she lay in bed at night,
just wishing that on day,
it'll all be gone.
will anybody understand?
that behind a strong person,
there is stubborness,
that hides inside,
because the things that are buried,
that might make them seem weak,
will anybody understand?
that all she wants is to be happy,
rather than life just being unfair.

Since You Been Gone
Since you been gone
I change and rearrangement into a girl I don’t know anymore
Nothing is same and I think was point of life?
If I can’t have one more chance
To show you that if we overcome everything by love we have and
What we have was special if you just believe in it
Like I do, well it’s too late for me and its ok with me because
I’m happy and blocking out negative in my life
I can’t trust anymore
I just keep it a secret like I never did before, who is this girl?
I can’t date and try to rebound
I try to move on to another guy beside you
I just can’t open up like I did to you because you were my only one
I didn’t worry and know it was right
Since you been gone
I feel like wind just sucks out of me
I should have done something, but
There is nothing to do, the result is the worst
Like always and it not getting better
I give up on this stupid drama we keep having
I feel like is not even same
I love you too much and can’t take you leaving, but
I let you go already and is over now
Brand new me
Life is different
New Journey to begin again
Destiny brought us together, but then
Tragedy is what brought us to the end and now
This is what brought us to the end and now
This is the result of what happen and I’m happy it did
I can let you fly away and be happy
Smiling on my face is back and this what I need it and it happen
Since you been gone
I learn, try to fixed my mistakes and mature person
I don’t care about other people’s opinion, gossip or what they say because
It’s all joke to me
Wow like I care in world to waste time on them
Please get real here, you think I will be sad, all crying, well I’m not
I’m smart and don’t even bother caring about it one bit
I’m just joyful person and nothing stops me from being it
It’s true I’m becoming stronger
One thing I miss the most is you
Since you been gone
I never told truth about dating you
I’m afraid about what people think of us
I never care what I want and what will make me happy and
Is you all along and you are reason
I trust, love, hurt, happy, smile and sad
You open me so much to the world that I never knew
You are reason I’m like this and feel the way I do
That’s why I keep coming back for more
That’s why I love you
You not like any guy I will never meet again
You are the only one can be like that to me that I would actually care
If other guy do it’s all pointless
You were one I really have connection with
I don’t care what people say
I was afraid for this relationship to happen like I never did
Before with other guys I like or date
You are good different
Since you been gone
I know reason why
I need let kite go with cut of string
Let you go fly and bye forever
Since you been gone

It was tough and challenge along the way
I think that's how
Life
Going be for you one day or you already going through it
Whatever choices you make sure it right one
It don't happen over night
Just take your time and think through it
It been rollercoaster for me
I'm letting my fears get in my way
I need to figure something out about my
Life
I don't know what yet
I'm still lost and confused
I'm on a path that I keep going back and forth to wrong places, people and you
I feel like
Life
Is over for me because I don't learn my mistake after mistakes
I become someone I don't like
I miss being this girl
Now I don't know who she is
Life
Have alot of bumps in road and
Have friends there to help you along way
My head is spinning
Whatever come in your way be ready and prepared for tough times
Just hold on and be strong
Life
Is reality
Not fanasty you dream about that will happen
Wake up and realized this is real world
Time to face no matter what

I'm Only Happy When
I'm only happy when it rains
without a cloud in the sky
I'm only happy in these chains
all that I can do is cry
I'm only happy when I bleed
it let's me know I'm alive
I'm only happy when I need
just myself to survive
I'm only happy when I dream
of my long lost love
I'm only happy when I scream
at the Heavens above
I'm only happy when I'm alone
at war with my brain
I'm only happy when I've known
that life is just pain
I'm only happy when I'm lost
and I can't find my way
I'm only happy when I've crossed
the path of disarray
I'm only happy when I see
death is my way out
I know I'll be free
I have no doubt
I'm only happy when I'm told
that I've gone insane
I'm only happy when I hold
all these thoughts in my brain
I'm only happy when I sleep
and go out of my mind
I'm only happy when I'm in too deep
I'm only happy when it's me you cannot find

My Love Is For Real
(rhett lawrence / paula abdul)
I made mistakes when I played with your mind
Gave you excuses with each story line
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
Watching you wondering what I feel inside
Deep in my soul Ive got nothing to hide
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
So baby please dont worry
I wanna make it better
I wanna be your only love
This time Ill understand you
Ill never leave your side
This time its got to be for you
Lets put an end to these long lonely nights
Things that were once wrong now turned out all right
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
You told me, you loved me
You said that
I need you, you want me
I told you
So baby I wont tease you
Im gonna make it better
Im wanna be your only love
This time Ill understand you
Ill never leave your side
This time its got to be for you
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real

Fate vs Destiny
To find your true happiness tempt fate to discover your destiny.
You must hearken back to when real happiness was known
Remember its impact on your life
Opportunity knocks, open the door, you will see it coming.
You may be surprised to discover fate can mask your destiny.
Your fate and your destiny are not one in the same.
Your fate is what you settle for in life.
What you take as your life marches on day by day, an obligation to life.
Destiny is the gate you find at the end of the path you blaze
As you strive to attain life’s goal open the gate and find love,
Happiness and contentment; true peace of heart and mind.
Fate may leave you at destiny’s gate at the end of life.
Knowing only the travails of your battles to achieve life’s goal
Knowing not the sweetness of your victories.
The gate may not be open, leaving you empty
At the end of life's journey.
The path to your destiny is yours and yours alone
Ask yourself whether you wish to settle for your fate or…
Tempt your fate and discover the path.
The dark side of life; fear and self doubt can blur and cover the path.
Not always seen in the clear; hidden in your memory
Or on the full plate before you the path is always there.
Those who have known the depth of their love, the strength of their spirit,
Will find a guiding light illuminates their path.
In these qualities of character you will discover your true self
And the key to unlock the gate.
You will recognize the guide of your light.
The choice is yours, settle for fate or follow the light,
Find the key, unlock the gate … discover your destiny.

Freedom
Though I cannot see the sun, I know that it’s still there.
The circumstances of this life, sometimes they are not fair.
People love and people hurt, and I have done the same.
The sadness of this paradox, there is always another to blame.
Another has shortcomings, no different than my own.
I can pinpoint exactly where another’s are, while mine remain unknown.
I hold a mirror to myself, the only thing I see.
The strengths that I bring to this world, my weaknesses cannot be.
My cycle continues, faster it spins, no longer in control.
My mind, my body, take my lead, they bury deep my soul.
I feel it in there, and it wants out, but it causes so much pain.
I ignore the part that will set me free, for I’m a slave to heart and brain.
My life gets worse, I can’t go on, and I live in my own hell.
And there I know I will remain, ‘til my soul can break its shell.
The shell with layers so deep and thick my body and mind have built.
In order to break this shell of mine, I must embrace my guilt.
The guilt of all my failures and the people I let down.
The character defects I embraced, when no one was around.
My reputation was my concern, my character I’d forsake.
But I’d have to switch this right around if my shell I was going to break.
So then began my journey, my journey deep within.
My guide became my savior; he freed me from my sin.
He told me I wasn’t who I became, but who our father made me to be.
This path of pain He led me down, it truly set me free.
I found this path not easy, but knew this path was right.
For the blind fool that I had become, became a wise man with great sight.
I know the one I’m grateful to, His love for me is great.
He turned me to the path of love, from the path of pain and hate.
I thank you Jesus, for your gift, for my spirit I did find.
You waited for me ‘til I was ready. You did not leave me behind.
For I was broken. I broke others too, but by my side you stayed.
For every debt that I incurred, you had already paid.
You made me understand it all. I now have sight to see.
I’m no longer a slave to body and mind. My soul is truly free!

It Better End Soon - 4th
Can't stand it no more
The people dying
Crying for help for so many years
But nobody hears
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend
Can't take it no more
The people hating
Hurting their brothers
They don't understand
They can't understand
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon
Hey, everybody
Won't you just look around
Can't anybody see?
Just what's going down
Can't you take the time?
Just to feel
Just to feel what is real
If you do
Then you'll see that we got a raw deal
They're killing everybody
I wish it weren't true
They say we got to make war
Or the economy will fall
But if we don't stop
We won't be around no more
They're ruining this world
For you and me
The big heads of state
Won't let us be free
They made the rules once
But it didn't work out
Now we must try again
Before they kill us off
No more dying!
No more killing
No more dying
No more fighting
We don't want to die
No, we don't want to die
Please let's change it all
Please let's make it all
Good for the present
And better for the future
Let's just love one another
Let's show peace for each other
We can make it happen
Let's just make it happen
We can change this world
Please let's change this world
Please let's make it happen for our children
For our women
Change the world
Please make it happen
Come on
Come on
Please
Come on
It's up to me
It's up to you
So let's do it now
Yeah
Do it now
Can't stand it no more
The people cheating
Burning each other
They know it ain't right
How can it be right
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend

Conquered Life
Lost in her world, pretending to understand his
Where everything is hugs and kindness
Was she dreaming, or was this life for real
Or just a moment of happiness she could steal
Her whole life nothing but loneliness and pain
Not in control of her life, where they would reign
Oh god please end this, she would cry out
Thought this was what life was all about
As a child till an adult, never known love
Tried so hard to have a life to be proud of
Kept reaching out, only finding the wrong man
Pushing her further down, was their plan
She learned to be strong, where all wanted her weak
Held her head high, when they didn't let her speak
The skeletons of pain, now deeply buried
In her heart so deep, is where they're carried
She's happy now, found her place in life
Met a great man and became his wife
Finally happy, very caring and kind
That pitiful life I write about used to be mine!

I Will Never Forget You
When I went to same school with you, it was fun being in same class with you and becoming friends
Although we barely talk alot, I enjoy seeing you
You are so quiet and shy
I still miss you
I will never forget you
When I left to move back here
When things that bring back memories about you, I feel sad and want to cry
I feel bad for what I did to make us not friend anymore
If I could go there I would fixed it
You make me very happy on the Valentines Day
I got wrong signals that you like me more than a friend
You did it because you want to know how you felt about me
I will never forget you
You are the guy will never meant to hurt me
When I listen to my favorite songs, it bring back memories about you
It's hard to forget you
I can't move on no matter what I tried and accept you like a friend
I can't, and I want you be my boyfriend, but I can't force you to
I will never forget you
I had so many good memories
I will always feel sad when I heard your name or sad song that remind me of you
Although we are in different city
Is just that apart of me is still over there, and
Part of me is just wishing you were here with me
It will never be the same
I will never forget you
You were one of kind
When this feeling happen, I just to hold it in
I want to be by myself and think
There's nothing I can't do
I had to leave it alone and live my life
I want to show you that I can be a better friend
It was is and leave at that
We both are in good place right now
It fun while it last
I will never forgot you

One after life wish
Thoughts of you
Thinking about
The things we use to do
We did everything together
We went went everywhere together
Us together made everything better
Now that your gone
It feels like
Im forced to settle
No one can take
Your place
Sometimes when I
Close my eyes
I still see your face
Our happy moments
Are the only thing
That puts a smile on my face
We were soo happy together
I feel so lonely now
Because your gone
Sometimes its hard
For me to come around
Thats why I am better of
By myself
Then i can relate
To all our great memories
By myself
You are truely missed
Seeing you again
In the after life
Is my only wish

I Saw You Sleeping
I saw you sleeping
Like you hadn't slept in years,
In the hospital bed
And I guess I wanted to wake you up for the sake of my tears, but it fell! ! ! ! ! ! I think of the great times we laugh, sing, and dance and the party didn't start unless we were there, but most importunely when we gather with the family.
And I'm so grateful that I had a chance to see the special gift that was real and unwrapped right in front me.
I felt hurt! ! ! ! Because I didn't no how to deal with the words in case something happen to me,
in case something happen to me WOW! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I hang on to the great memories but I need you here with me and the family. And I watch you sleep with no worries like you were so happy and for real it was killing me, to go and see our relationship will no Longer be, but it will stay deep in my heart your great memories. Sir Clarence of greater
