Questions.....but answers?

Can I be in search of the meaning of life when I haven't decided to live it yet?
What is IT exactly?
Would a person really be happy on "the other side"?
If you were asked to show your GAME FACE, what exactly would it look like?
Is it possible to be a champion without blood, sweat, and tears? or do you need all 3?
In order to be the straw that breaks the camels back...don't you need help?
When people say "THEY SAY" I question the validity of THEIR words.
A broken heart is not really a broken heart now is it?
How would I be missing out of something fun Ive never had, if I never had it to know?
Why are there so many bad drivers on the road, you ask? Could the test be too easy?
Could they call Life insurance Death Insurance?Besides that really what it is.
Does an incident you had in elementary school really go in a "permanent record" file?
If history repeats itself does that mean death is just a temporary memory loss till we are reborn?
and if a picture is worth a thousand words, then whats a writing worth?

Unicorn Pride

Staring down the ramp and I could see the turf at the end
The click clack of cleats and a rumble of two teams ready to battle for a win
Katy came out first beaming with confidence and size
Then the NB team trotted down the ramp with their eye on the prize
I walked to the field and glared around a fog filled battle field
And was rushed with and indescribable emotion that nothing could shield
Both teams took the field with an intense passion
As both sides of Rice Stadium had fans waving their colors as if it were going out of fashion
Interceptions back and forth, a chess game of field position and a fight
One team would push and the other pushed back with all their might
The fog began to settle down closer and closer to the field
The players fight showed no signs of stopping or coming to a yield
A few short scores back and forth and the game was coming to a wrap
Then on 3rd and 10 the Unicorns threw a TD pass for a potential tie, then came the crap
A penalty on big blue and their dreams of state faded away
But in no way can they hang their head, especially the way they played that day
A great run and a tough fight
The Unicorns left all they had on that field and it was definitely a great sight
So no matter what people say about your 2009 state run
In the hearts of all the Unicorn faithful you guys are #1

Monster

Blindsided by the ugly truth she stares in the mirror
She's awakened by the illusion that glares at her in horror
Another year has gone by and her time is fading
All this time, it was her who has been faithfully waiting
Waiting for another chance at the things she loves the most
Whispering into that coffee can with excitement to boast
She pierces into the mirror and squints to really see her loss
Or what is it that everyone else has to come across
A newly constructed woman as if from a book
And time after time that knife has rearranged her look
From sad to happy and wrinkle to none
But in the end there are things that cant be changed by anyone
A nip tuck here and a lift there
Pulling your skin up like a broken pair of underwear
Be happy with what you were given to share
Deflate your bags and hold that head up high if you dare
Show the world the new and improved you that's torn
And possesses an inner beauty you were given, way back when you were born

Im the one who....

Inside my mind asks why
Outside I struggle not to cry
beliefs keep me from letting things go
And sometimes I'm obnoxious, everybody must know
Personal, is not how I meant it when we talked
Ignored is how you wished you walked
Follow what you see in me
Because perfection is not what its all cracked up to be
So stay focused on the things that make you smile
And your heart will be thanking you for a long long while

Am I you, or are you me

Release my fear with a soft kiss
Hesitate with your heart so there's nothing you miss
Slowly she wraps her arms around me and I smile
Her gentle touch has escaped me for a while
I embrace her beauty as I glare into her eyes
And everything melts away even those nasty lies
Lies of never loving another, lies of never wanting it again
But resurrect the cross that you have sealed within
Be true to your emotions and you can swim in the sea of tranquility
Because its all of you I destroy with my love, not just your ability
And its all of me you create with your nasty hands
Stopping me from running like I were stuck in these love sands
Churning my legs as fast as they can go
Deeper I sink into your never empty soul

Do You?

Do you ever wonder what my life is like when your not around
Do you ever wonder how I can be this way
Do you ever ask yourself what you did
Do you ever tell yourself its all your fault
Do you ever think about how you talked to me
Do you ever think about how much you showed me
Do you ever just know that I exist this way because, well, you know
Do you ever just know that life's what you made of it for me
Do you ever know how much I love you
Do you ever? Well of course you do mother, your the greatest!!

Am I getting your attention yet

Inside its toasty and still my toes are cold
They must be connected to my heart
Outside its chilly and maybe its because my hearts exposed
If every heartbeat was to stop for just a second, would mine make it snow
Shower the fields of dreams with a salty wetness to help it grow
Or the fields may have already been planted to soak up everything it gets
SHUT UP, its my turn to hurt
Its my turn to look for comfort in the arms of another warm blooded heartless American
Taking the thorn wrapped brain and devouring it with what, salt?
Engulfing the righteousness of my self worth
Entangled in a web of unforgettable feelings for who or what
I look through the crack in the mirror and realize, its my hearts reflection

Today was the day.....


As they walk through the bone chilling wind they clinch each others hand tight
They share a walk in the clouds because they know it feels right
Not a ray of sunlight in sight
But their hearts shine with all their might
And today was the day they ended their flight
Arms spread like glorious wings sailing them through life
Memories rush out of all the things they have done as man and wife
From the time she was a little girl she dreamed of a man like him at her side
Times as a young boy he pictured his ring around that girl on the playground slide
And today was the day they ended their ride
Nothing but memories filled the cobweb filled halls of their home
Echoes of laughter, love and joy ensuring they would never be alone
A shelter that could protect everything they cherished
But as the blaze washed through it, they held each other tight as they perished
And today was the day they ended their...............
