Hiatus

They always ask where you are
it's a common mistake people make
asking without thinking to look for you
maybe it wouldn't matter much anyway
because even in plain sight
they still can't seem to find you
which kind of makes you wonder
do they really know where to look
or are they just looking for information
where you are is obvious
but the real question is why
why do you keep going back there
are you trying to hide
that's what they believe you're doing
hiding from the world 
you've certainly done it before
it's safe to assume you would again
just not this time
so why go back to the darkness
because darkness makes light visible
and sometimes you need to know
how bright you shine in the darkness
before stepping back into the light

Starseed

I just want to fit in
but how can I fit in
I'm a supreme being
neither man nor woman
comprised of light
born from the universe
look at how people treat me
they call me crazy
but I'm not crazy
I have abilities
and I don't deny them
like others do
I embrace them
to better myself
still people call me crazy
but I'm not crazy
I'm a supreme being
neither man nor woman
comprised of light
born from the universe
I've never fit in down here
but this is still my home
and my home needs healers
so I'm here to help heal

L.O.V.E. Notes: Prayer

Some people don't do it 
they find it to be a waste of time 
clasping your hands together 
head tilted up high
with your eyes closed 
talking to the sky 
asking for a miracle
why would anyone do that 
they must be fools 
because only fools pray 
or maybe they're just believers 
left with no other options 
but to imagine greater 
what about the ones who do it 
and then just sit there 
expecting the miracle to happen 
without putting in any work 
those are the real fools
even when you imagine greater
you still must believe in yourself
so stop focusing on your religion
and focus more on your relationship

The Unmasking

Where is your confidence
you should be looking for it
but you rather wonder than wander
what has you so scared
that you're afraid to find yourself
maybe it's what you would find
that scares you the most 
everyone wears a mask
don't be afraid of yours 
it has kept you hidden for so long
you've been dying on the inside
wanting so desperately to live
but fighting just to exist
if you only knew your worth

you wouldn't sell yourself short

those who've paid the price

have learned to accept change

so obviously you have some sense

even if it doesn't quite add up yet
this is your opportunity
you may not get another one
become who you're supposed to be
not who they want to see you become
only then will you know who's who

Her II

Who are we to judge her
no one gave us that right
how do we know everything about her 
when no one gave us that sight
she may be trying to find her confidence
while holding on to her sanity
but we just make fun of her
and call her out in the name of vanity
when we see a million photos of her
only then do we seem to care
maybe she's trying to capture something
she isn't sure is really there
if we're so quick to throw shade
why do we claim to be so bright 
did we forget what it was like 
when we couldn't see our own light 
some of us still don't know our worth
we're just trying to figure it out
but if we judge her for doing the same
then what's it really all about
maybe if we encouraged her more
instead of always putting her down
she would believe that she's a queen
truly worthy of her crown

Rise And Shine

From the time you wake up
to the time you go back to sleep 
someone is praying for your downfall 
they don't even want to hear your name
so they don't want to know you're up 
getting ready to start your day
because they know once you get started 
it will be difficult to stop you
nobody wants to stand on the tracks
when the train is coming through 
especially when you're moving 
at the speed of a locomotive 
so if they can derail you in any way
they must do it as quickly as possible 
but they've failed to recognize one thing 
you already had the momentum
the moment you woke up
and the more effort you put out
will increase that momentum
allowing you to get much needed rest
so let them keep praying 
as long as your level of effort 
exceeds their level of hatred 
their prayers will never be answered

L.O.V.E. Notes: Wishful Thinking

You expect them to cheer for you
there's no reason why they shouldn't
and while they do cheer 
it's just not as loud as it could be
they much rather try to stop your drive
by taking the keys out of the ignition
hoping you take your foot off the gas
they also love to say you're weak
just because you suffer from anxiety
not knowing how that affects you
that's not the kind of support you want
but if you want to know the truth
anxiety always attacks the strongest
giving them the illusion of being weak
so who are the weak ones really
there's another truth you should know
it doesn't matter if they cheer
because if it isn't their loudest
then they might as well be quiet
but that's probably not going to happen
