For a lack of better words

Sometimes, the emotions of my day can not be expressed in sentences. I have been having some serious trouble formulating sophisticated thoughts in my brain this past week and the only way I was able to express my feelings was through poetry. Last week I was still feeling kind of down. I guess it was the hormones again. I am feeling a little better now-a-days and I am sure my second entry will show you just that. It will also prove my current lack of creativity and writer's block...such a shame I have a 5 page paper to finish tonight...damn the timing.

I haven't fely myself lately
is it too late to say that I'm crazy
crazy for answers, crazy for truths
crazy from listening to all the bad news

Where has my heart gone
passions escaped away for long
inner turmoil has got me down
pushing my dreams into the ground

I don't aim to hurt, I don't aim to lie
I don't aim to be so upset that I must cry
I don't wish for anger, depression or grief
I just want to be able to believe

Believe in Love, God and all that is good
believe in all the things that I should
but what does it matter when I feel this way
as if my sadness will never go away

I look into your eyes and feel your soul
they burn right through me creating a hole
but I don't know if it's me or it's you
sometimes I just don't know what to do

So I will say that I am sorry
for not being myself lately
and admitting that I might be crazy
crazy for answers, crazy for truths
and for giving you all this bad news


Depressing, I know.... This one is a little more cheery. It's words to a song I'm working on, so I guess you can make up your own tune in your head.

I ain't a fan of many things

but what I am I cannot sing

for I ain't as simple as I seem

I'm what they call the inbetween

between the normal and the weird

between the pleasant and the feared

a mood that changes night and day

who never cares what people say


(chorus) No, I'm not here to 'pologize

I just want to enjoy the ride

don't care how long it will take me

I will do as I fancy

Life is short, drink Shiner Beer

I'll do my best while I'm here


I'm tired of hearing people say

what the nation did today

blue or red, red or blue

you only know what's right for you

I got no money nor stinkin' job

or a reason to cry and sob

because I know who I am

I am but am my biggest fan


(chorus again)


I hope you'll come and stay a while

maybe we can laugh and smile

and drink a bock and sing a song

stay up dancing all night long

cause I don't care 'bout many things

but what I do I guess I'll sing



Have a great weekend everyone!
