Shake off the dust
You didn’t fall far
You’ll be fine
You have all of us
And there could be
Worse fates for a star
Than slipping away
From the sky
To be sent down
For fixing when
It’s just too high
Then when we’re
Not enough anymore
You’ll be fixed
And we did the job
You found us for
121 – Inspired Me
You have inspired me
To keep on trying and
On the faith I’m riding
I’ll settle for inspiring
You too, in return
Which is where there
Hides the most to learn
About the rebuilding of
Bridges once left to burn
Or perhaps in turn
There are better ways
To get to the other side
I don’t mean a free ride
I mean transportation
That changes the view
A set of greenery
A change of scenery
A fresh starting point
For a better you
120 – That
The feeling you get when you see something that you want
Only to want it even more when you realise you can’t have it
That.
119 – A Little Love
A little love goes a long way
When there’s nothing to say
And a lifetime of hypocrisy
Forcing some into the shade
So I wonder who we are to
The precious people we made
And do they forgive us for
Mistakes in unending tirades
118 – Walking Contradiction
What is a walking contradiction
Made of something all natural
In a routine of learning from
Mistake Central Station riding
From one stop on to the next
With no planned destination
A patient in the hospital of life
With constant superficial strife
Strings of strange situations
Says it out loud ten times
Then gets high on the laughter
It’s the happiness we’re after
We should say what we mean
But often it’s the spontaneity
It just gets the better of me
Then before anyone can blink
I have re-changed my mind
One thousand and eleven times
So I suppose it is me you see
I’m the one who wants to be free
117 – Not A Leopard
Leopards can’t change their spots
Nor can zebras with their stripes
Somehow though it’s never too late
For a person to change the way
They display themselves or the
Effect they may have on the world
Sorry is not just a difficult word
It’s a tune we allow to be heard
So we are more like an instrument
Of music, a melody slightly out of key
We aren’t spots, or stripes or a horn
But something able to change its tune
116 – You Were
You were the friend I never knew I wanted
You were the willing accomplice by my side
You were the somewhere to be called home
You were the trouble that always came by
You were a master of how to feel properly
You were the most sensitive of all the souls
You were a heart in which to seek comfort
You were subjected to too many fouls
You were the one we all knew could feel it
You were the one who didn’t want help
You were a magnificent mind of your own
You were one to take the world on yourself
115 – Happy Mother’s Day
Another Happy Mother’s Day
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for your sacrifices
And being the kind of mum I want to be
114 – Anti Rain Song
Rain, rain
Say goodbye
I don’t want to go inside
I want to see
The stars so high
But your clouds
Fill up the sky
Drops, drops
Go away
‘Til we meet another day
113 – Together Because
What you see here
This isn’t real
It’s fantasy
I can see a place
For people like me
Who see the world
Differently
People with handfuls
Of heart
Mountains of art
For as far as
Your eyes can
Tear you apart
Every moment is free
There aren’t any
Conditions or prices
Just everyone’s lives
And we all survive
Because together
Is the best way
To keep staying alive
