Hold Inside
There's words I don't say
I hold deep inside of me
But when I'm tired
They come out, unexpected
Clumsily, I turn bright red.

Safety
If you do use me
Without your safety glasses
Be forewarned, I'm sharp
I cut to the quick, and swift
I don't mean to but I hurt.

Anyway
I don't even know
What I should say anymore.
I'll leave you alone.
It's what you want anyway.
But it makes me sad...Sorry.

Highly
It doesn't matter
What you think of me, because
I have two brothers
That think more highly of me
Than you ever will; so there.

Whoever
Whoever I am
Whatever makes up the me
It's a mystery
That only One knows for sure
Someday, I will know myself.

Why Do I
Why do I do this
To myself? Every time
I see you, I feel
Depressed. Why do I do things
That tear me up? Leave me 'lone.

Drums
Deep inside me come,
Up from somewhere deep and great:
Drums, drums in the deep,
Constant drumming in my head,
I cannot ignore.

When?
How much time is it
And when will it come to pass
When’ll I have enough
Of courage, to stand and speak,
And of love, to stay and care.

Bare
I don't know, not sure,
If I'm hesitant to give,
To bare my soul honestly,
Or if I should not,
And if I should not trust you.

Behind
Running out of time
I just can't get it all done
Taking far too long
I'll be behind soon enough
But it will be a danger.
