We strive for what we cannot obtain...
Reaching for perfection...
Trying to create our own heaven...
In this black and white world of ours...
We try to reach out...
To find the essence of the heart...

Why Can't I Be Like Them?
Why can't I be that way?
Why don't the people care?
Why am I standing all alone?
Why is life so unfair?
I wish I could change who I am,
If only for a day.
To see if they would notice me,
To see if I could stay.
I know wishes can't come true,
Be that as it may,
I wish that I could be that way.
If only for a day.
I know that they won't love me,
I know they might not care.
All I want is a place to stay,
I know that I'd be happy there.
Don't tell me if it isn't true,
I do not want to know.
All I want is a place to stay,
A place where I can go.
Away from fear,
Away from woes.
A place where my newfound love can grow.
Where so
As I try to listen to those around me,
I realize all I hear is time,
The ticking that rules us all,
And makes us all so blind.
There is always somewhere that we must go,
A place that we must be.
Yet no one will sit and take some time with me.
The more you take,
The more you lose,
Because time is what makes the rules.
Remember what I am about to say when you think of my rhyme.
No matter what you say or do,
You will run out of time.

The United Body Of Christ
How can a puzzle be completed without all the pieces,
How can a book be read without words,
How can a door be opened without a key,
How can a torch give light without flame?
Separated the puzzle will never be complete,
Without words the book is meaningless,
Without a key the door cannot be opened,
With no flame the torch is useless.
But if the pieces are united the puzzle will be solved,
If the pages unite with words new chapters shall be written,
With the key the doors will open for all,
With flame a radiant light can be cast!
Divided and alone,
These things will never be!
But united they come together to form something marvelo
As I make ready to depart again,
I realize my longing to be with them.
Those I can trust,
To whom I can tell my thoughts,
Keeping all my secrets inside their hearts.
They lift me up and share my pain,
They wait for me to return again.
They always invite me into their house to rest,
They encourage me to achieve my best.
Looking back at the memories we've shared,
I will always know how much they care.
I will keep their secrets locked away,
Never to see the light of day.
I will keep our precious moments in my thoughts,
And forever keep my friends inside my heart.
