Too many times

Too many times we don�t know what we have until it�s gone,
Too many times the gift of day passes with a dream forgone,
To many time we hold the past to close to the present day,
To many times days pass by with things we forgot to say.


Stay Open To Love

Stay open to love
As does the flower to the bee
Always opening to the sun
In hope love will find the

Never give up hope
Else like a flower you�ll die inside
Always stay open to love
Then at least you can say you tried


The Silence Speaks a Truth

Across the room I look at you
I know how you feel
The silence speaks a truth
That word would conceal

Five hundred thousand words to choose from
You could use to explain
But the truth needs just silence
To speak what�s on you brain


Conforming

Why should I conform with modern society
When I feel that by doing so I�d be acting cowardly
Why do I struggle to feel contentment and freedom
When I live in a society that represents freedom of expression

Why should I follow the most travelled path
And gain the knowledge that many already hath
Why can�t I risk going where danger lies
And hope that if I get to the end I�ll end up wise

Why should I get married and bring up children
When I�d end up feeling my husbands a burden
Why should I have a relationship based on complicity
When I crave relationships that are filled with passion and intensity

When I fall in love why should I keep my partner caged
To make me feel safe and make my feelings assuaged
Why can�t I let them live and fly free
And be content with the knowledge their loves always with me


Innocence

We were all born into this world utterly innocent
Although we have no history this moment in abundant
We are unknown and untouched in this state of purity
With no history comes no sorrow and no feeling of animosity

We travel through the journey of life learning many lessons
Many from the mistakes we make and others from our observations
We develop our understanding on what�s perceived as right and wrong
And we take on this ideology as we travel along

So our identity is not developed solely by ones self
We learn how to adapt in society in a way to preserve our health
Therefore if we�re not careful the person we could turn out to be
Can actually be developed by others almost like a commodity

But no matter what societies influences do
And no matter what we choose to put ourselves through
There is always that part we hold on tightly to
The innocence in us we don�t want to lose


Living In A Bubble

We could go about are life working nine till five
And never take any risks, as our only aim is to survive
We could wake up every day knowing what we�re to do
And go to bed at ten o clock because its what we do

We could live in a safety bubble floating around
And never pop that bubble for fear of falling down
We could carry on our routine doing what we know
And everyone would be smiling because it suits them so

But however would we learn living in that bubble
Never taking any risks encase they cause us trouble
We have to get things wrong every now and again
As we wouldn�t try that hard if we always got ten out of ten

Every mistake we make in life we will never forget
And after all the lessons learnt it will be a mistake not to regret
People are always going to knock people every time they fail
But sadly those people are those that will never break out their shell


Unconventionl Love

You talked, you felt your caressed you held
For how long it would last the future was untold
The days were so short and the nights were so long
The time shared together you felt you belonged

A love affair that was so unconventional
Whether it was right or wrongs debatable
An affair like all that�s ended in tears
Where from the start the end was near

Two people left bitter towards one another
Wondering how long it will take to recover
A relationship that started based on passion and lust
And now those two factors have caused the mistrust

Not possible to be lovers, not possible to be friends
So any form of relationship is now at the end
Now both will go there separate ways


The Journey Together

The journey of Life
Travelled together
When love is rife
You go on forever

Through the ups and downs
You support each other
When one starts to drown
The other recovers

When one strays too far
For the others hand to touch
You break down the bars
For your loves worth too much

When one gets ill
The other feels their pain
No matter how steep the hill
They go on in vain


Whats Right and Whats Wrong

From childhood we�re taught what�s right and wrong
These morals we interpret as we move along
What we once saw as black and white
Seems to have changed more grey in our sight
We see others leading a different way of life
We presume its wrong and our fears are rife
But our intelligence makes us see the bigger picture
And we begin to learn what suits ourselves might not another
We start not to fear what we don�t understand
And realise we hold only our own future in our hands


Oh To Be Loved

He wants to be the centre of attention and adored
He hates not to be liked, in his nightmares he�s ignored
He sleeps around with many girls to increase his self worth
Without them he�d wonder what his meaning is on this earth

Oh to be loved, I want to be adored
All eyes on me, I don�t want to feel ignored

If a negative remark was ever made towards him
He�d dwell on it for hours but in public he�d just grin
To him life is just one enormous competition
The loser hides away and the winner gets recognition

Oh to be loved, I want to be adored
All eyes on me, I don�t want to feel ignored

He�s never look at what it is that really makes him happy
Does public recognition mean more then friends and family?
He needs to learn a way to fall in love with him self
Only then deep in side will his heart will be in good health

Oh to be loved, I want to be adored
All eyes on me, I don�t want to feel ignored

One day I pray he finds what really makes him smile
Then his eyes will open up to see further down the Nile
He�ll see that many things can bring him the feeling of fulfilment
Then the love of just one special person will make him feel content

Oh to be loved, I want to be adored
All eyes on me, I don�t want to feel ignored


Slow Down and Look

You want to be everything your not
You strive to succeed and get to the top
You envy others who are higher up
You do every thing you can to catch them up
You reach a point you were aiming for
Now that your there the points moved on more
You rush and you run for all that point means
The faster you run the further it seems
You�re tiring yourself in your rush to get there
Even though you know when your there you wont really care
You�ll set your aim even higher up
You�ll go through the same process without giving up
But when will you stop or slow down at least
For life is so short you may feel you�ve been fleeced
Take a step back and look at what else life offers
Stop lowering your esteem by comparing yourself with others
Cherish all that you have and be incredibly grateful
Happiness doesn�t only lie in being successful
So in your rush through life to gain recognition and succeed
Remember the difference between what you want and what you need


Gentleman, Your Excused For Being Confused

Just how exactly are you supposed to treat a female?
Feminism arrived and they wanted to be �equal�
They wanted your work and they wanted your pay
They wanted you to listen to all they had to say

Once you thought that you were supposed to protect them
Now their ladette behaviour you wouldn�t condemn
They�ve taken over the pub that was once your territory
And they�re downing their pints and behaving obscurely

They wear little to show off the new boob job they had done
Then call you a perv for looking at their giant bosom
These women you thought you had to treat so preciously
Now behave in a way they don�t need it surly

You once felt it rude to swear in front of a female
Now the language they use you even find foul
You used to protect them by walking on the roadside of the pavement
Now they don�t understand the gesture you so kindly lent

Once gentlemanliness had to be proved on many dates
Now so many happily offer you themselves on a plate
You can�t understand what they actually want
Even though their behaviour is so upfront
Gentlemen, you�re excused from being confused


A Question of Morals

A question of morals a question of reason
Should they have done it, is it an act of treason
Who do we listen to, who tells us the rules?
What are the boundaries other then what�s illegal or cruel?

If one chooses to opt out of cults and religions
Who�s to tell us what�s allowed or forbidden
If every country has different laws and principles
How do we work out what�s truly ethical?

Nobody I know can answer my questions
Away from religion or any other convention
So I�ll keep on wondering what should and shouldn�t be done
And until I get some answers I�ll continue having fun


Your Fall From the Pedestal

You were picked up from the floor and put on a pedestal
Suddenly everyone wanted to be your friend
No one thought there was a chance you might fall
And all your dreams would come crashing to an end

Emotions high whilst in the sky
A natural buzz a natural high
No fear that you might ever cry
No fear you�d fall before you die

One little knock that made you wobble
One big shove that made you topple
Now another�s took your place
Now no one even knows your face

Now to get that buzz that you once felt
You have every vice under your belt
For drinks and drugs may pick you up
But they�ll never lift you all the way back up
