You were there,

When I tried to strip an angel off its wings;

As its feathers fall one by one,

You vehemently pulled me away.

You knew how I never knew what I was doing,

You knew how lost I am in this fight,

You knew how much I wanted to just lay down and wait for my time;

Yet you pulled me away,

Even if no one asked you to;

You pulled me away;

And in your arms as I was about to collapse, you whisper:

It's okay.

You were there,

As I was putting back the wings;

Not the best but I tried my best.

*You held me.

I wouldn't change a thing,
Your heart never stopped beating for me,
Mine never stopped beating for you.

Sometimes showing you care means walking away,
Not leaving for ever but giving one another room to grow,
This isn't goodbye simply farewell for now.

You were the jelly,
I was the peanut butter,
Amazing together but even better separate.

For now we walk away from each other,
You'll always be apart of me and I'll always be apart of you,
Thank you for showing me what love and sacrifice really means.

Not everything is a stone's throw away
Not everything will soon become okay.
We have some stones, and their destination
Though the path may seem paved with frustration
If odds seem insurmountable, ask "why"
Shed your tears, but don't hesitate to try
Fling your stones with care, as hard as you can
Wishing they'll all land according to plan
If they find their place, be glad and move on
Do not rest tonight- Await a new dawn.
If they land elsewhere, pick them up again
Then shoot wisely- no effort is in vain.
Every day's your day, should you choose to find
Freedom in the skies beyond tethering binds.

Have you ever wondered why we're here?
Have you ever wondered what's the purpose of it all?
Well someone's told you
And they'll tell you again
It's just happiness.
Some people say religion
And that's a reason to move forward.
Some say reincarnation
And that's a reason to look back.
But what about now?
What's the reason for now?
Some people say it's nothing
But I don't think that's true.
That means that we've done everything
There's nothing left to prove.
And I assure you,
That can't be true
Cuz we're not perfect.
We still make mistakes
Whether big or small,
Good or bad
We still make them. Still create them.
And we still change
Everyday we grow
Old and new alike
But if the purpose is just happiness,
Then why aren't we free?
Why do we run around just playing house,
Not always smiling in our sleep?
How can that be?
Is it just one persons choice,
Or is it something more?
Why do we strive for greatness,
When we should strive for something more?
Society itself, the world, and all of its inhabitants
Work together to find a cure for this quite strange panic.
Helping those who've never known a real true kind of smile.
Those slammimg doors and building walls to hide from us all.
The ones you've never known
The ones who've never shown
That they know happiness.
Well we've told them
And we'll tell them again
Don't be scared of happiness
It won't **** you
It won't hurt you at all
So stop fighting happiness.
It'll help you along when the day gets you down.
It'll push back against the walls trying to make sure you're not found.
Cut the ropes whose final goal is to keep you forever bound
That's not how we want to live.
See, they've told you once before
But they'll tell you once again
It's just happiness.

A sudden rush
A stone drops into the water
The first lighting strikes
A bud begins to open
A drop of rain bends the leaf
The last red on the horizon
A cloud turns a wisp
A wind sweeps the ground
The moon disappears.
The burn in my throat
The ash on your tongue
The first drop of cornering water
The last hesitated sigh
The last hello
The first goodbye
Day by day
Night by night
Still I fall
Still I rise
