Swing

Trapped by society's expectations, 

Let's not be.

Instead embrace life.

Wear whatever,

Do whatever,

Dance whenever,

Be, always,

Find liberation,

Swing,

It has a child-like freedom.

Exhaustion

Deep mind exhaustion,

The strain for thought,

Thoughts you could do without,

But this is reality and,

Ignorance is not bliss,

For starving children,

For abused animals,

The elderly, the poor,

Every day a struggle,

They're more exhausted than you,

Keep thinking.

Myself Without Me

I alude me,

Myself escapes my mind,

So on a journey I encroach,

I set out myself with me to find.

Along the way I see existence,

I know I must be somewhere near,

Eventually I reach the present,

And I realise I was always here.

I'd be scared if I lost me,

I've never been without me before,

But as I think things are changing,

So am I me anymore?

Voice

Twenty years don’t seem enough,

But for you it was all too much,

For what this life turned out to be,

Was not right for you, now we see.

You were loved as a friend,

Cherished brother, son, to the end,

Now we must let you go,

Not understanding why it’s so.

Tearfully we say goodbye,

And lay you down to rest,

You made your choice,

Found your wings, your voice,

And now you’re free to fly.

Where Next?

I don't know what we're doing,
Don't know what you see,
I've so many questions,
About you and me.
You think I'm pretty,
And you kissed me that night,
But now what happens,
Is everything alright?
Is there more to this,
Than drunken mistake,
I'm just here waiting,
For the next move you make.

Nothing Serious

There's that boy I know,
He appreciates me for me,
Nice arse a bonus.
I love talking to that boy,
He knows I'm a person,
Not just a pretty face.
We're young and have dreams,
There's no need to rush.
We're enjoying the company,
There's no judgement,
We can understand.
Living and laughing,
Nothing serious.

Crying

Tell me, when did crying,
Become something weak,
Something to fight against,
And hide behind doors.
Crying comes from passion,
Strong emotional depth,
It communicates the things,
Mere words cannot.
To cry is to feel,
And have strength to admit,
This is human,
And this is ok.
