Will You?

Will you promise to always be there?
Every time I need you,
When I shout, will you be there?
Will you promise to always find me?
Wether I'm lost in my mind,
Or lost in the sea.
Will you promise to always smile?
Unafraid of the dark,
Make the wait worthwhile.
Will you promise to let me be free?
But let me run to you crying,
Whenever I need?
Will you promise to miss me when I'm gone?
When the echoes are fading?
When you hear the last note of the song?
Will you promise to let me be me?
Will you let me write?
Will you let me sing?
And will you promise to always love me?
No matter what happens,
Will you promise you won't ever break me?

Do I Scare Easily?

Do I scare easily?
Does it look like that to you?
Aren't we all afraid of something?
At least that is true.

I don't run from snakes and spiders,
But I wish I could stand and face the fire.
I will run,
If I can die.
I want to soar,
But I'm scared to fly.
Will my fear hold me back?
Or will my fear let me fly?

Do I scare easily?
Does it look like that to you?
Don't we all run from something?
Your fear makes you you.

I don't run from blood and sneers,
But I wish I could turn and face my fears.
I will run,
If I can die.
I want to soar,
But I'm scared to fly.
Will my fear hold me back?
Or will my fear let me fly?

Do I scare easily?
Does it look like that to you?
Doesn't everyone run from fear?
Isn't that what we do?

Ode to My Music

To my music,
Loud and free,
Blasting my ears,
Making me sing.

To my music,
That is my escape,
From the loudness of life,
Closes my mind like gates.

To my music,
That makes me me,
That helps me write my words,
That makes me dance when I sing.

To my music,
That makes me see the beauty of taking a chance,
That makes the sun shine brighter,
That makes the rain seem like the perfect place to dance.

To my music,
That helps me touch the sky,
That helps me touch the hearts,
Of anyone who wants to fly.

To my music,
That makes me sing,
That helps me touch the sky,
And see the beauty in everything.

My Family is a Rainbow

My family is a rainbow,

We are all different colors,

But yet, when we work together,

We can make something beautiful.

My family is a rainbow.

My dad is dark green,

Smart,

Funny,

Loving.

He can do so much and still has time to drive me everywhere I need to be,

Play a video game with my brother,

Tuck my little sister in at night,

And love us all,

No matter what mistakes we make.

My family is a rainbow.

My mom is indigo,

Caring,

Intelligent,

Comforting.

She laughs with me when I’m happy,

And cheers me up when I’m sad,

She understands what I go through and tries to help,

And she accepts whatever path I choose to take,

And will help me clean up the messes I make,

My family is a rainbow.

My younger brother is red,

Energetic,

Funny,

Noisy.

He can always come up with something funny to say,

He loves us no matter how much we tell him to stop quoting youtube videos,

He is always jumping around and dancing,

I envy how confident he is with himself,

But he can always stop dancing to give me a big hug when he knows I’m sad.

My family is a rainbow.

My little sister is yellow,

Happy,

Bubbly,

Vivacious,

Her blue eyes are always laughing,

She makes me remember what it was like to be a kid,

Full of wonder and imagination that has been let loose,

And she tells me she can’t wait to be as old as I am,

I wish she knew I want to be her age again,

And run free,

Laughing like she does.

My family is a rainbow.

But I don’t know what color I am.

Yet.

I’m facing the identity crisis that strikes at my age.

I’ll say I am blue.

I am strong,

Smart,

Special.

Everyone tells me that I am perfect,

And I should never change who I am.

And I don’t think I will.

Because I love who I am.

So I will be blue.

Until I figure out who I’m supposed to be.

Because I am everything.

Blue can be everything too.

It can be dark like the night sky,

it can be aqua like the sea,

Blue can be everything,

Blue can be me,

Until I figure out who I want to be.

My family is a rainbow,

Stretching across the sky,

Created by the sun,

That comes after any tears we cry.
