Hostile Takeover It was so easy... Winner takes all everyone loses here. Death is a dusty bed partner but the red hot coals of hate too sweet to put out of reach. She never saw it coming words sicklier than honey dripped from venomous lips like a cat-o-nine whip deadly stiff with envy and hate. It is too late to get back those yesterdays of feel good friendship and fairplay? Now we stand on opposite sides while blood and gore runs through our tomorrows as we heave regretful sighs.

Be That Friend
Be That Friend When I need comfort comfort. When I need a hand give it. When I need to be seen be my eyes. When I need to be authentic speak it into me. Be that friend that will be there spend time when the ugliness oozes everywhere. Be that friend. Be my Wren say my amen dust me off again and again whenever I fall Be my friend be my strength, and I will never be weak.
Handcuffed by the Past
Handcuffed by the Past How could you think we would forget? You sinned have a fatal flaw broke all laws and now your daring gives us pause. You want to be forgiven redeemed and released but we will keep you imprisoned in our negativity. We will keep you in your place remember your disgrace no second chances with you ut us a cold case. We may not be God with no right to punish but by god! We wont let you flourish!
Crab Life
Crab Life Look at you across the room thinking can you make it. your new victim in your sights ready for a fight you approach. You know your role known it long learned it hard. You are the crab who came out of the barrel the one who made it. But there can be only one, only one success story at a time. So you know your role you signed with your blood. Instead of helping the one left to come up you got to work hard to push him down to drown.
Fly
Fly You can run, I know you can. You can fly, I know you can. Out of fear you may run but you need to fly. Use those wings see the joy it brings even in your fear They will take there, where you need to go. When you are down and you feel it's not your time take flight and fly up to the sky.
Be Brave
Be brave and admit you failed at something you never wanted to do in the first place. Be brave show your flaws and not give a damn! Be brave and show them your banner still being constructed no bright colours yet or ever. Be brave as you crash and burn and learn to stay grounded until another attempt. Be brave and admit you never really cared you just wanted the praise. Be brave admit life ain't so wonderful but you're still gonna live it.
