How Many Friends
How many friends are truly a friend
Who will lend a hand till my end
Is there anyone who will carry me through
But does it matter there is nothing they can do
There is no help you can provide
So fair weather friends you may go back to hide
I'll just go back to my shell
And live in my own inner hell

The Finger And The Hand
The finger that blames me belongs to the hand that feeds me
But in it's judgmental mentality it doesn't realize how much it needs me

13-30
I am thirteen going on thirty
Rapid intelligence and sense of morality reaching toward maturity
Now I'm going on thirteen from thirty
Moments of maturity blocked by puberty

Mother Why
Mother, there is something I have to ask
If you're not too busy with your task
Can I leave my home to go out on a date?
How will I know if she is just a friend or a soul mate?
How come when I enter a room others give a vibe of hate?
Why is there doom to all the things I create?
Mother, why do I feel so ill?
I seem incapable to do anything but lie still
Is there someone out on the kill
Lurking over the hill?
Can you get rid of the thoughts that haunt me?
If you are not too busy

Pain
I can't begin to explain
The source of my pain
I was never beaten or raped
Yet there's a feeling of pain I can't escape
Between my first memory and birth
I abandoned a sense of self worth

Good And Bad Acts
My goodness goes without being acknowledged
This ignorance from them is leaving me on the edge
All my mistakes are condemned before they're even made
Contempt grows as appreciation fades
Their eyes are closed when I helped them
Until they search for faults on which to condemn
What the hell can I do
All but the bad is blinded from you

Wife Wanted
Lonely, eager, sensitive man searching for a wife
Qualities must include loyalty all their life
Single, average, kind hearted man trying to be complete
The personality I'm searching for is lovable and sweet
Smart, well to do, handsome male looking for a mate
Replier please don't think this is going to be a one time date
If you're loving, caring, well dependable and kind
Please reply back 7007 to be mine

My True Brother
Throughout my life there has been no other
You are better than a friend but my true brother
We will stay together and never part
I'm not afraid to say "I love you with all my heart"
Through times both good and bad
All of which we had
We have remain friends strong as before
And together we stay forever more

John Lennon & Yoko Ono
John Lennon
Your life you were just re-beginning
A newer truer song you were singing
Bringing your life to a higher meaning
You were starting to find love as good as you could imagine
You were no longer hunted by All The President's Men
You finally knew where to find
Some kind of peace of mind
But then a crazed fan came from behind
As things came clear they came to unwind
Four out of five bullets found in your back
And the family you once lacked now find it's you they lack
