Giving Up

Don't you dare, don't you dare, don't you dare,
Ever mistake me,
For a liar or someone,
Who gives up easily.

Don't you ever think or believe,
That I don't try,
I will never ever be that person,
Never, no, not I.

But I am, I so am, I am that person,
Who knows a lost cause,
I am the person, indeed I am,
Who knows when to pause.

I know too well, far too well,
When something is broken,
Because I am, I always am the person,
Who's heart was taken.

For the Writers

We need more pens in this palace,
I'm running out of tools,
My pens from the palace,
Were stolen by the fools.

We have no more pens in the kingdom,
They were taken by the idiot,
And all the pens in the kingdom,
Didn't care one bit.

We must have more pens in the world,
For those blessed with the gift of writing,
We have got to get more pens in the world,
For the only one left is the one I'm using.

To those who could be mine

First let me begin,
With saying what life isn't,
Like life isn't fair,
Or
It isn't peachy,
Or
It isn't what it should be.
You will grow in a cold hard life,
One moment could make you,
Or break you,
And let me just say,
That's only the start.

But let's pause on that.

Let me tell you what life is,
Life is cold,
Or
It's hard,
Or
It's miserable.
But let me tell you this,
You've got one shot,
Only one at this game of life,
So you had better make it,
A very good one indeed.
So pause a moment silly head,
And let's get one thing straight,
Life is also beautiful,
And with the proper dose of bravery,
It can be so much more.

Party

I'm all dressed up,
For a party that's not my party,
I'm all dressed up,
But I'm not going anywhere.
I've said it all before,
But I'm sorry, oh so sorry,
But this party that's not my party,
Is too much for me to bear.

I dreamed a dream about this party,
This party that's not my party,
I dreamed a dream about this party,
But I hope it won't come true.
Cause my dream about this party,
Oh so solemn little party,
Is the worst kind of dream,
Where I know I'm losing you.

I thought too much about this party,
This party is not my party,
I thought too much about this party,
Till my hopes I cannot see.
But I never said I wanted,
This party that's not my party,
I never asked for a party,
That doesn't belong to me.

Want

Tomorrow will soon be yesterday,
But today is right now,
And we're all searching for the "Good Life",
And we all don't know how.

We all just want this one thing,
But we don't know what it is,
But Larry next door has it now,
It's not fair that it should be just his.

Big cities teaching our kids to rush,
Rush through life and do not pause,
And we're waging wars against our friends,
Fighting forever devoid of cause.

I'm not one to preach this,
But I'm going to say this once more,
I'm daring you right now and forever,
Just try finding something worth fighting for.

To Philip.

You've been with me from the start,
And I mean that, it's true,
You will ALWAYS be in my heart,
I know I'll be in yours too.

You are my confidante and friend,
You are one of the best people I know,
You'll help me till the end,
You help me when I feel so low.

I love you even though I never say,
You've helped me to be the best I can be,
Even though I get mad at you nearly every day,
I still love you, you still love me.

If I could I'd always be there,
Through bad times and the good,
Sunshine, rain, snow, I don't care,
I'd be there I really would.

No matter what happens to us,
We will always have each other,
And that is because,
You'll always be my big brother.
