I Thought I Knew What Love Was...
Right from the moment I met you
I knew that I would never be the same
Something deep inside of me knew
That i had found something special
That i was home
And i could stop searching now
Right from the moment I met you
My mind has gone into a spin
You constantly invade my thought
Never leaving my mind
Your beautiful image like a movie
Your sweet voice forever in my ears
Right from the moment I met you
I knew I was in deep
I have never felt this way before
Never been this happy before
God you make me so happy
Right from the moment I met you
I knew I wanted you in my life
But I couldn't have ever seen coming
Just how much you would end up
Mean
Ya know, I am finding it really funny that your world is falling around you and my life is going up up up.
I have an amazing network of beautiful friends, you have nobody.
I am going to university this year! You barely Passed school.
My family is fully supportive of whatever I want to do, you hate your family.
I am proud of the country I live in, you hate it here and cannot stop complaining about it.
I am always looking to better myself, you think you're perfect.
I love the people in my life because they're unique, you only like them for what they can give you.
I am happy not being "supermodel pretty", your happy reminding people just how mu
They walk out towards their future
Heads held high, big smiles
This is the moment they has worked so hard for
So many late nights
So many tears
So many fears
And now, so many rewards
They walk over to their seats
Uniforms immaculate, hair brushed
Now they must wait
Wait through the speeches
Stay strong through the emotions
Waiting for the moment of truth
Our time is now
They slowly rise out of their seats
Straightening ties, fixing hair
Wiping sweaty palms on shirts
One step
Two step
Three step
...
Pause

Names are called
...
Stomachs drop

Another step

They walk out towards their future
Parents beaming, friends cheering

They start to deteriorate,
Like they're dying right there in front of you.
Sick
Vomiting
Chemotherapy
No hair
No nails
Bruising
Pale
Hollowed out
It is all around me
Different people, different battles
But the all have one thing in common;
The big C.
Cancer.
Everyone is telling me
That I am able to achieve
That this isn’t so bad
That it’s just a number
That there are other options
But all I can see
Is that damned number
Taunting me, looming over me
Stripping me of all I ever knew
The ideology I had of myself
Of what I was going to be
Is in tatters
What have I done?
My future hangs in the balance
And I am letting it slip from my grasp!
How could I have let this happen?!
This is my fault.
What do I do now?
Put my money where my mouth is
And raised my hands
The gloves are off now
Time to see where we stand
Steeled myself for insanity
And threw the first punch
If I go out today
I'm going out fighting
Maybe this is a game of Russian Roulette,
And we aren't in control of the gun
Our rage becoming the master
Of the six-shot pistol
Blow for blow
Duck, dodge, weave
Falling down, getting back up
Don’t think, just fight
We are the damned
Fighting for salvation
From our own insanity
Seeking a revolution
For this is not a fight against just any opponent;
This is the fight against our minds.
You can either win
Or die trying.

Let See What's In My Brain Today...
Hey you!
Yes, you over there!
What do you feel when you look up at the sky
and see the world staring back at you?
What, you don't know?
Well then, that's your answer.
Hey you!
Yes, you in the red shirt!
Don't you think it's strange that we work so hard
all our lives, and what do we have to show for it?
A sore back and arthritis, that's what!
Hey you!
Yes, you on the bus!
What do you want to do with your life?
You sit behind a desk and type your life away
when you really want to be an astronaut!
Well, why aren't you?
Hey you!
Yes, you reading this!
What do you want to change about your life?
Why don't you change it!
It isn't that hard real
