I miss the times when you were here
telling me to have no fear
To hold my head up high and strong
add happy notes to my sad song

I miss the way you look at me
As if I were too blind to see
The path I’m on might hurt and scathe
But all goes well if you just have faith

I miss the sound of your sweet voice
Through bitter times a saving noise
That told me what was right and wrong
But rang in my ears for far too long

A caring person, you were such
That helped and hurt me, oh so much
You’d guide and mislead me through the day
You left me lonely when I’d rather you stay

Over things like that you had no control
A rock set in motion will continue to roll
No matter how hard you tug and heave
You were always pushed and forced to leave

Then one day you never returned
My tears so hot they almost burned
Aware now about what I lack
But crying and mourning wont bring you back

For me to let out what I need to say
I can’t do much more than pray
No longer am I weak, my hearts quite strong
From adding a happy chorus to a sad, sad song

~ Dane Yule

There comes a time
when we must let go.

Let our heart speak
let the tears flow.

It’s never easy
for us to do.

But sometimes it’s
the only way
of healing you.

We will doubt
whether it’s right
or wrong. 

But it’s the first step
that you’ve taken
in so long.

How things will
turn out, we’ll know
in the end.

But, if it’s happiness
we seek.

It’s better to find it
rather than just
pretend.

In a sea of darkness
Searching for the light
But those who you once loved
Have left you to deal; alone
Ask for help, no one will come
But most of all, don’t you lost hope
Hope is always there
Even in the roughest moments
Hope, I need you
Hope, I want you
You need something to hold onto
Hope is gone…
Is it really gone?
The demon inside you, grows stronger every day
We all have our demons
Everybody suffers
Everybody deals
Everybody copes
Everybody breaks
Everybody hopes
Everybody cries
Don’t you cry
There’s always hope
Angels, where have you gone?
Do not leave me here, alone
“I need help”
Hearts breaks
Souls dies
Hearts shatters
I will not be silenced
Hope always remains
Brother, I need you now
The war’s not over yet
Hold onto me, we still have time
Because hope’s always there
Even in the darkest times
I fall into your sunlight

~ Joanna 

I lay on my bed soaking my pillow with my tears,
I try to remember exactly what it is that I fear.
Is it the passing of time or the love that I lack?
Is it the mistakes that I’ve made or the fact that I can’t bring the past back?
What is it that I’m afraid of? 
Why am I so scared?
Is it the people I’ve hurt or the people that have hurt me?
Am I afraid of everything that I cant seem to see?
Is it the love of a friend, or the loss of my family?
Is it the possibility that my life can end in a tragedy? 
What is it that I fear most? 
What do my eyes say I’m scared of? 
Is it the sun that sets but won’t seem to rise?
Is it the hope that I have that always seems to die?
Is it the trust of a person that I cannot begin to grasp?
Is it all the memories of my horrid past?
Is it me? 
Can it possibly be that the thing I fear most is the thing I can’t be? 
The things that I try to understand? 
The me that I try to be with when I’m feeling sad? 
The person I’m expected to be? Is that what I fear? … 
I think the thing I fear most …is me

Now that you are here
I have nothing to fear
With you is where I belong
I know it, I feel it so strong
Nothing has been more clear
That it is your love I hold so dear
Deep inside is the cry of my heart
I never ever want us to part
I am a hopeless, romantic man
Doing the best he can
To show you for sure
That my love for you is pure
I will do whatever it takes
I don’t care about the stakes
You and only you I want
A prayer I know God will grant.

I’ll burn the stars,
I’ll bring life to our souls

I promise you,
I’ll drag back the past,
Twist it, change it,
Take the right road

Shatter the pain

Face the impossible, and make it
Turn into hope

For your heart shines in my life,
Passions burn alive,
But drown as a wasted dream

Your eyes speak silent words,
Telling me of the purest heart,
Which loves without a care

Fearlessly,
Shamelessly,
Hopelessly…

~ Angelina Taylor

I’ll be there for you
Until the very end
Wiping all your tears away
Being your special friend

I’ll listen while you talk
I’ll encourage you too
I’ll smile when you’re smiling
And feel all the ache you do

You’re my best friend
And I care a lot for you
All the tears you shed
I’ll cry the same amount too.

~ Olujoke Fakoya

Life is unfair, sometimes the misery we can’t bear.. 
This was a feeling I could never share…
I am strong, strong enough to move on from this pain, 
I won’t feel the shame, my life is not a game, 
tired of these tears and my fears… 
I will cherish my inspirations… 
I will find my dream, I promise, that’s what I will achieve.. 
I will find a way to leave.. 
I’m not who you will deceive.. 
I believe in miracles, these people laugh like it’s hysterical… 
I won’t fall, I may be lost but I will be found…
One day I will find the perfect life, life will run beautifully, I will fly like a butterfly through the night, will have a pleasant sight, afraid but I will fight… 
No boundaries, free my mind of all the pressure, leaving here will be my pleasure.. 
I want so much to be free, so much I want to see… 
I want to reach the sky, I want so bad too fly… 
See, I use to be a fool when I let you treat me cruel… 
I made a mistake but I wont let my self break.. 
Leave me, for gods sake… 
So now I kneel down to pray, for these times of struggle I will just say, I’ll leave in your hands. God, I will let go..
