I guess I tripped. Though I never meant to fall, (Really, do I even want to?) I’m only unbalanced here, So maybe I can choose. To right myself again And plant my feet e’en firmer, Or to fall in love with you. You’re just my type: Awkward, Yet kind. Oh, Kinder that you should ever be, And I guess that’s that tripped me; My breaking point, Where I am now forced To decide. Always you smile Always you laugh And I wonder what brings this on. Does your heart rise with mine When together we dance Or does my hand Just feel uncertain ‘Gainst yours? I might never know. The fear is so strong Of rejection, Or worse!- -

I always thought I would be like Cinderella, With my prince finding me Due to happenstance And fate, But here we are, Back to back, Facing our fears And all that the world Would throw at us, Together. I always expected to be swept off my feet, And awoken to a new life, With a kiss. But instead Here we are, Just a night Under the stars Where you take my hand And I know this is enough. I always knew I would fall in love with a fairytale, But I never knew My fairytale would be so real.

Can you hear it? My heart seems to beat so loudly. The music is surrounding, As we sway to the beat And you laugh as I almost fall- My heel catching on my hem- But you catch me, A hand at my waist, A hand in my own. Your smile drawing my attention, Pulled as if by gravity, To your face Where I am lost in your eyes. Spinning and twirling, I never knew You were so wonderful at leading. And as the music fades, I’m engulfed in your arms. With eyes closed, Smiling in the moment we share, I let out a final sigh. Je t’aime

As you would know, I’ve never done well in bowing down To those who do not deserve the praise. Rathering to stand tall, Drawing myself up proud, In the face of corruption and calamity. Authority, I believe, Should come in due time To those who worked, Gaining knowledge and expertise So that they could lead well. And you know that is why I have never tried to take charge, With the knowledge that another Would be better suited to the position, How could I climb To that undeserved pedestal? So as I ask you to step down, You’ll know it is not Because I’ll take your place, But for the sole reason That maybe you are unfit To have

Who knew That I would burgeon into this. Into someone who stands tall, Looking upwards Towards the sunrise, Instead of downwards Towards the darkness. In this short amount of time, I never realized that I had talent. That there was a possibility When people complimented me They meant it. Those were not just empty words Spoken to fill the empty air, But genuine praises. Only It happened so fast That I’m not sure I’m ready to face the facts. Sometime I’ll step back Looking at how far I’ve come With the brightest smile, But now I’ll lower my head with a smile, Humbling myself; My burgeoning remaining Just as quickl

I could be in London And you could be here But the distance between us Would be much more near Just a phone call away Just a prayer away And I'm there again By your side today. I know it seems odd And the distance seems far But look up once again, We see the same stars. It will never be forever It will just be a night Though at times seemingly long Everything will be right. So I tell you goodbye But I don't mean it true. What I'm trying to say Is I'll see you soon.

Clawing out from within me Mistakes rear their ugly heads, Prancing about in the open light Telling of all the horrors I’ve done Usually they stay locked up Deep down in my memory, Out of sight- But always remembered. Then someone always comes With careless words, Careless keys, Setting all of those demons free Leaving me to chase them down, Face them once more And fight them again.

A day with all the answers That's all I asked of heaven. And for one day There really were No questions unreplied. But every action Has its reaction I now know this true, For now I sit With questions many And no answers to be found. I plead to heaven And they seem to smile But sadly look down on me, My blessings are up My trial is here, And my questions are only My own.

Give me friendship, And I’ll do my best to return it. I’m shy, Introverted, Unable to amass the courage sometimes To simply talk to someone. But I’m here. Wishing and praying That someone will see my potential, And decide I’m worth it. I try my best, In communicating this plea, To saturate me in friendship. Fill my lonely soul With long car rides, Late night milkshakes, Shared imaginary worlds, Tight hugs, And true smiles. I’ll do my best to return it. But I am unable Sometimes To amass the courage To simply talk to someone. So it might be hard to see.

A mind sees in black and white. Good and bad, Right and Wrong, Whichever you would prefer to describe it as; Everything is distinctly clear. Until the heart comes into the equation. Bursting with color, Shading every situation in the most vibrant of hues, The heart paints in expression, Where the mind sees only facts. Trapped in my form, These two entities never fought much, One always conceding to the other On how the world appeared, And it worked well. Until I met you. My mind sees you as black, Dangerous and unknown, A distraction from my goals, An unpredictable outcome that cannot be calculated. My heart sees you as gold, Kind and full of
