Are You From the Moon?

Are you from the moon?
Did you fall from a star?
Did anyone catch you?
Did you die from the fall?

Are you from the stars?
Riding the light?
Have you come very far?
Are you ready for a fight?

Are you from above?
Where whirlwinds rage?
Do you have anyone to love?
Or are you trapped in a cage?

Are you from a place?
Somewhere new?
Did you pack a suitcase?
To see the views?

Are you from the moon?
A shooting star?
You're so far away,
I don't know where you are.

Come back from the moon,
Come back from your star,
I miss you up there,
Come back to my arms.

I'm Not Afraid

I'm not afraid of the darkness,
I'm afraid of what's in it.
I'm not afraid of memories,
I'm afraid that I will forget them.
I'm not afraid of heights,
I'm afraid of the fall.
I'm not afraid to change who I am,
I'm afraid you won't know me at all.
I'm not afraid to try something new,
I'm afraid that I will fail.
I'm not afraid of hiding my emotions,
I'm afraid of my mind becoming my jail.
I'm not afraid to put myself out there,
I'm afraid of being judged.
I'm not afraid to make the leap,
I'm afraid of getting nudged.
I'm not afraid of hiding myself,
I'm afraid I might not take off the mask.
I'm not afraid of figuring it out,
I'm afraid of the given task.
I'm not afraid of showing myself,
I'm afraid of the spotlight.
I'm not afraid of being watched,
If you're not in my sight.
I'm not afraid of getting hurt,
I'm afraid of myself in a fight.
I'm afraid of what lurks in the darkness,
I'm always waiting for the light.

I Am

I am a jock who plays football and lacrosse
I am a geek who obsesses over Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Sherlock
I am a music nerd that plays clarinet and cello
I am a "hipster" into all the unknown fandoms
I am a punk who listens to Metalica and Guns n' Roses
I am a songwriter and poet who writes what I'm too scared to say
I am deep when I'm depressed
I am so shallow with my friends
I am shy when I'm alone in a crowd
I am outgoing when I'm with friends and I can be loud
I am depressed about what I left behind
I am happy whenever I put it out of my mind
I am full of stories that I don't want to tell
I am an awful secret keeper I can't keep it to myself
I am a prisoner inside my own mind
I am one that knows freedom of a different kind
I am lost
I am found
I am flying
I am falling to the ground
I am loosing control
I say everything's fine
I am all these things
I don't know who I am yet
I am unique
I am different
I am only one thing
I am me
