Only Human

Here are all my flaws,
You can hate me for all that is wrong.
So go ahead and sing your sad song,
But leave me out of the title.
Here is the truth,
I give this all to you.
Here is my cash there isn’t much left,
Here are my hopes and my dreams.
I give you the truth, let me let loose,
Let me show you who I really am.
Here is our history, let me lay it at your feet,
You can run from our dream if you please,
But no, I am not close to being perfect.

For all the mistakes I have made,
I take all of my words back to the page.
The red marker covers each line,
Why can’t they all be erased?
I wish we could go back to the beginning,
But then I remember that I am only human.

I am scared when we are all alone,
I get choked up on every note.
I have this tightness in my chest,
And there you go taking the best.
I am living off of the dirt I sleep on
And my scars still bleed easily.
I have these freckles all over my skin,
And I burn when I am in the sun,
And yes I can’t stop all my sins.
I can love you with all that is within,
But I can’t stop myself from lying,
And most of the time I don’t know why,
From time to time I lose my way,
And I never had the words to say.
But this is what you got from me.

For all the days you sat wondering,
This is all of me, this is who I am.
I am scared that I might get scared,
And that I might even lose my mind.
I wish I could remember all the memories,
But then I remember that I am only human.
  
I laugh at the craziest actions,
And feel depressed when bad things happen.
I say what I mean,
And I mean what I say.
I don’t get angry too often,
But I won’t change for anyone.
I am not in the greatest shape,
And I am not one of the smartest people,
And I make many mistakes,
And I yell a lot too.
I may not have the straightest smile,
But I know how to stick around for a while.
I know how to love with my heart.

For all the pain that still haunts me,
I wish I could believe in the likeliness of you and me,
But reality always knocks me off my feet,
Damn you are so beautiful,
And I lose control so easy.
I wish I could be more than me,
But then I remember I am only human.

Sometimes I am a coward,                                                                                                  
Every time I see you in the room,
I get sweat sick and I want to walk away,
You are the reason these dreams are so real.
And you are the reason I no longer feel.
I am a broken soul,
Living in my broken home.
My heart is fragile,
And my skin is easy to cut into.
My knees are weak,
But here I am still begging at your feet.
I live with all my regrets,
And I blame myself.
I searched for something astounding,
And you were all I've found.

For all the days and the nights,
I have sat here in front these white walls.
I still dream of the day our wounds will heal.
Then I could carry you off into the sunset,
And then I could kiss you one last time, 
But then I remember I am only human.

The Weight

rain falls from the blackness in the sky, the water soaks the earth. here we stay a float, but slowly we are drowning. the mud grabs us by the ankles, pulling us into the ground. everyday is a struggle to move. With all of these days, we carry out this weight, walking closer to the pavement. we tippy toe across the marsh, crashing faster each time. crushed to our knees, our hearts slow to a beat. we question our strength, savoring every last drop, like the very last scotch. and at the end of the day, when the moon covers the view. your soft hand pressures, then squeeze’s these muscles and slowly cracks the bones, you push down upon me, I pray you don’t break me. With all the pain and agony, we continue to push forward, but we question our lives, always struggling to stand up straight. fearing our inevitable fate. carrying this horrible weight. Note; In all honesty this is about the world and the struggle to live, have faith in God, but the weight some t...

If I Could I Would

If I could change a thing, I think I would have changed everything. If I could have known the truth, I would have never been with you. Twenty-five and I am so tired of this childish love, And all the pain that comes along with all its games. Seems such a waste to throw it all away, But I am who I am, like me or not, But you will never be able to change me. The world has its grips on you, And I am no way getting involved. Today could be the greatest of days, But what would you have changed? All of your wrong mistakes, your bad calls, All your fear and lies, Or are you just so selfish inside? If I could change the way we were, I think I would change everything. If I knew the absolute truth about you, I would have never even met you. Twenty-five to life with all that you did, Is this the end of love, should I give up? And here I am stuck with a broken heart, And busted up sight. These days are blurring together, And nothing seems al...

The Longest Day Dream

Is this what it takes to make an illusion, or Will this ever come to be the truth? Why do I do the things I do? Why do I dream of these horrible things? I just want to know your view. It hurts to know what is not meant to be real. It hurts never knowing what will hurt next. I don’t want you to forget about me. I don’t ever want to go far away. I want to stick around forever. I want to stand up and fight. I don’t want to lay down and die. I want to be more than a weird nobody. I can’t breath on my own. I can’t stand on my own to feet. I need you more than I can imagine. Tell me that everything is O.K! I wish I could say that everything is alright. We can run away and live on forever. Where ever I go the pain follows my soul. Please make it go away from here. I want us to be free from this rule. I want us to run and never think again. I feel like this is my dream, and When I wake my smile will disappear. I want to say hey, everything is great! I want to hold you and talk of the good thin...
