We always look for that common ground People who can relate to us are seldom found We all crave the same like-minded companionship The kind that feels like more than a normal friendship We always look for that truly understanding heart People who know what we’ve been through before we start That one person we enjoy talking to, someone who listens One who you can laugh and cry with, without inhibition It’s rare that we actually find someone who gets everything And when we do find them, we’re quick to let them in We open up hearts to them without holding anything back And just by being there, they help us get our lives back on track We trust them completely and they become our best friends And we hope that they won’t break that trust till the very end We all need that one person, that one confidant in our life The ones who will never leave us, even when we endure strife They are the ones we turn to when things go completely wrong Through the h

What happened to romance? it's so rare these days It's like it only exists in books, TV, movies and plays Doesn't anyone believe in real love anymore? Or is it that people are too selfish to let it show? No more days of actually getting to know somebody Now it's all Apps and social media and faces with no bodies Just swipe left of right, forget the thrill of the chase Instead we choose by seeing a picture of their face Some will say "get with the times", things have changed And that these ideals are things of past and seem deranged Imagine a time when you actually had to start from scratch A time before some stupid App said you were a perfect match Getting to know some one was almost an art form Even getting their number felt like running through a storm But it took guts to and timing to actually walk up to someone Swiping and hoping for a response is just no fun Granted there are still those who are innately shy Even in this day and

One day I’ll get things right And only then will I give up the fight One day everything will work out  And I’ll finally know what life is all about One day I’ll be back on my feet And I’ll move forward without retreat One day I will make all the rules And I will no longer be judged or called a fool One day the tears will stop falling And I’ll stand up instead of crawling One day I’ll be able to stand strong And make right all I ever did wrong One day I‘ll be back on top of my game And I won’t have to hang my head in shame One day I just might meet someone again And she will free my heart from these lonely chains One day I’ll earn back the respect and trust I lost I’ll get through the hard times no matter the cost One day the whole world will hear me say That I made it to the top, and I did it my way

Remember when we played outside as children? We didn’t have worry in the world back then Remember getting our first bike and learning how to ride? And removing the training wheels and falling on our hides Remember when you scored the highest grade in school? And everyone was annoyed because you thought you were cool? What about the adventures with our closest friends? These are the memories that stay with us till the end Remember when you got in to that sports team? And you were so excited that your eyes would gleam? How about that feeling when your crush first spoke to you? And you were standing there speechless, not knowing what to do Getting their number was the biggest win and it stood alone But the scariest thing was actually picking up the phone Asking them out was another that thing that made our hearts race If they said “yes” you’d freeze in disbelief and fall flat on your face The next step was the drivers license, didn’t that take us far? N

When the world has you against the ropes And has you feeling like you have no hope One simple decision can make or break you But only you make it and see it through We’ve all been there, and its absolute hell It’s like taking a nose dive into bottomless well People lose their respect for us and beat us down Our smiles are lost and all we do is frown We fell like the whole world is against us Like we’ve been run over repeatedly by a bus But we can turn it around and take our lives back We can all make a change and get things on track And fight with all our heart so we’re never on the brink While believing in ourselves and not what the world thinks Cos it takes only one critical decision Made with clear mind and perfect vision One simple choice, and it’s not rocket science Changing our lives needs only one act of defiance

Come back to me sanity You've been gone too long I fall at your feet with no vanity Cos it was you who kept me strong Come back to me friendship Cos you truly completed me In a split second you abandoned ship You left me so cold and empty Come back to me conscience Give me solace in time of need You were my true  constant And on you,  my soul would feed Come back to me laughter Bring back my smile for the world to see You truly were my master Cos you brought everyone to me Come back to me freedom You raised me at my worst You gave me more than wisdom And it's you who I miss the most

You know you never prosper in the end Acting out because you don’t have real friends Shaming, assaulting and insulting the innocent Some would argue that you aren’t worth a cent In this day and age, you have plenty of platforms And bullying in general can take any shape or form What do you gain from this? You think it’s cool? Whatever your reason maybe, don’t be a fool How would you like it if you were the victim? And you were bullied to a point where recovery was slim You wouldn’t like it would you? So think before you act Your targets are affected for life and that’s a fact See, you acting out must stem from somewhere Maybe you suffered before and feel that nobody cares But if that’s the case, you should find someone to talk to And you will get the help needed to keep you true So remember that and move forward from this day Because bullying hurts people in many different ways

We all carry them within Stories that we never tell Secrets, not only of our own But of our friends and family too Sometimes they’re beautiful They bring love and joy to our hearts But some are harsh and treacherous And hold the power to destroy To cause pain and mistrust We choose to keep them with us And never divulge them to anyone Even if honesty is truly the best policy Sometimes we have to keep them Buried deep within our very souls Because betraying someone we love Hurts more than anything in the world

Is this the world we live in? Where sharing a song is a sin? I guess that’s just how it is Everything is either a hit or a miss Showing emotion is now perceived As weakness that’s not well received We all have pain that needs to heal When did become wrong to feel? We’re still human beings aren’t we? How many of us a truly stress free? Everyone has their own ways to cope To each their own, if it gives them hope I hope someday humanity returns to our hearts                      And we can show compassion right from the start If you don’t know what someone is going through? It’s not your place to pass judgment on what they do
