Above the world, The only shadows here are the clouds. The only feeling here is the sunlight burning bright holes into the windows of travel. Pause in awe. A break in time.

     She's not exactly the most beautiful girl, but when she smiles there's at least a dim glow in the room. Her eyes don't always sparkle, but they're bright with enthusiasm. The ashy brown hair that lines her face doesn't always shine, but in the right light it shimmers.      She's shy, timid, and quiet, but depending on her company, she blossoms into a white magnolia, and then you think... wow. _______________________________________________________...

We love each other for who we are, We love each other always. Our hearts are pure, intentions quiet, we wish not bother you. We don't appreciate the harangue, which denigrates our name. Though, the more you speak your words of hate, The more you boast our fame. We do not pick apart your lives, nor desecrate your names, So maybe you can take a hint, and simply do the same. We love each other for who we are, We love each other always. Our hearts are pure, intentions quiet, why do we bother you?

They told us to rest, that tomorrow we'd need our strength. How can I rest? I saw death. Death reached out it's hands and lunged for me, drug me down to the blood soaked ground and yanked me back up to my trembling feet. Death whispered in my ear, and flirted with my lips, ... my eyes are splintered with the blinding dark red, so unholy. My eyes are weary, my ears are deaf, I only speak to those in command, for I am wallowing in death. I am so influenced, that I myself feel morbid and gray. T...

Right now I reside in Oklahoma, I've lived here, I've lived there. Back then I lived an urban life, Unmeasurable is what I left behind. I've lived here, I've lived there. For many reasons we came and went, Unmeasurable is what I left behind, We took leave without a warning. For many reasons we came and went, Unstable and confused, We took leave without a warning. Living the same place twice was not an option. I wish I could live on my own. Right now I reside in Oklahoma. I almost wish I could...

How dare I judge someone by race, age, physical appearance, or income? How dare I allow what kind of car someone drives, who they are related to, who their friends are, their personal opinions, or how they eat effect whether I include someone in my prayers? How dare I let those who judge me by these standards go unforgiven? Since when did traditions like prom royalty, or class reunions, or even job interviews become popularity contests designed to make people feel insignificant, unwanted, unp...

Take all the pictures off the walls, Pack away the memories, Tell me it's all going to be okay, Watch the teardrops fall. Drive past my favorite restaurant, Leave familiar roads behind, Encourage me to make a fresh start, Watch the teardrops fall. Unlock the new, squeaky, front door, Compare, out loud, this house to our home, Hug me and tell me how this is great, Watch the teardrops fall. Walk down unfamiliar streets, Watch smiling faces stroll by, Convince myself it's not too bad, Feel the t...

One day my five year old little brother came outside to play laughing histerically. When I asked him what was so funny, he replied "Mommy is wearing blue and purple polka dots and they don't match her dress!" I figured my mom had put something crazy on to put a smile on his face, and when I went inside, she wasn't wearing any polka dots, she was putting her make-up on to go out with Dad. So I figured it was a joke. The next day my little brother came out to greet me when I got home from schoo...
