Your Own Brand of Self
push the boundries
be the change
redifene the standards and re-arrange
what it means to be unique
something different, new, magnifique!
be yourself, but something more
open your own god d*mn doors!
take pride in your face
show off your style, your flair, your taste!
not quite like anyone else
you are your own brand of self
confident and proud
be heard, be loud!
let them hear what you have to say
who are they to tell you it doesn't matter, anyway?
Standing Up to Fall
outcast and abandoned
left for dead
I found strength within myself
forced my legs to stand again
filled with an unmeasurable determination
I push myself forward in exasperation
I am my own best friend
my lone counselor
my only medicatoin
my heart waits to beat, sick with hesitation
my tainted blood courses through me
spreading this fevered disease
forcing me to my knees
but I will prevail
I swear to god I will not fail
pull this sickness from my bones
rip the sorrow from my moans
let the warm, red blanket drape me
and the razon's sweet kiss erase me
My Father's Embrace
I felt the sting of your hand across my face
the bitter taste of a loney tear falling
push it away
you will not see me cry
my chest swelled with pride
a head full of shame and a heart of distain
you alone are to blame
monster, monster
you've made me so weak
crying in the night, my life looks so bleak
in the morning light,
I rise
to find myself
terrified of each new day,
of the way they will stare at my face
because of your loving hand's embrace
let me know what you guys think :)
