When?

We do what we can to get by

But it seems like nothing goes our way

We try harder and do more things to try to do better

But things go the other way

People say that things happen for a reason

When do those things happen for the good?

I don't understand how some people have all the luck

When is it our turn?

And I know some people have it worse than we do

But we still wonder when our lives will turn around for the better

If God could give us a sign and let us know which path to take

It would make things so much easier

I guess that's part of life and it's what we have to do: live and learn

It's just depressing feeling like you seem to go the wrong way

And you always wonder when it will go our way

Can someone tell me when?

Beautiful days

What do I want to do when there is a beautiful day?

Run outside, take a walk, enjoy the beautiful day, and have fun with the kids.

There haven't been a lot of beautiful days lately

Rain and storms that cause depressing thoughts and being couped up

Today is one of the beautiful days though

Nice and warm with plenty of sunshine!

No more floods to wash our lands away

Just sunshine to dry them out and clean up the mess

We were lucky and don't have it so rough

But some were not so lucky and have a bigger mess

Let these beautiful days dry up all the rain

And put us all in better spirits

Am I invisible?

Sometimes I feel as though I'm talking to myself

I talk and talk and talk, but I'm getting no answer

Can you hear me? Am I not talking loud enough?

Maybe it's just me or maybe it's just you

I do not know and sometimes feel as though I do not care

If you want to be that way that is your choice

I have tried to make things better

I can't do that by myself

You're not willing to make things better?

That's just fine that's your choice again

Just realize that you may have lost some family

That really cared for you

But I guess you have opened your arms to everyone else

Except for who you should have

It will be too late before you realize it

Then what do you plan on doing?

Possibly continuing to make me feel invisible

But I know that I am not and in the end you will realize that

Even if it means watching us walk away

And never looking back

So I never feel invisible again

The Mirror

My life is but a mirrored wall

I see the reflection day in and day out

Not much difference is seen

If my life begins to break down, the mirror is shattered

Then there's a big mess to try and clean up

But picking up the pieces doesn't always make things better

Nor does it change what has happened

Each day there is a new mirror that appears

And the cycle begins again

Just goes to show that life isn't always perfect

But then again, who claimed it was?

Why fight?

I sit here watching you sleep wondering why we had that fight

I can't change what has been said but Lord knows I wish I could

You are sleeping so peaceful even though I know you are stressed out

You have a lot on your mind and a lot of confusion in your life

I know I love you with my whole heart and I always will

I am happy with the family we have created together

I wish we hadn't upset each other the way we did

I love you and you love me and that's all that should matter

Our lives were not complete until we found each other again after so many years had gone by

I wish we wouldn't fight over things that aren't that big

It is usually just a miscommunication on both our parts

I know we have gotten through so many hard obtacles

We have learned not to yell anymore, but to talk everything out

If people would just open their eyes they would realize how great we are together

It doesn't matter to me what anyone else thinks of us

We were meant to be, and that's all that matters to me

So why fight them when we know we are right

And what we know is you and I were meant to be and will always be together the way it was written in our books

I don't know why

This is a song *work in progress*, so it is a little sketchy. I have my guitar and will try to figure out a tune to go with it


I don't know why I can't get out of this mood
I'm troubled and torn and so confused
I don't know why I just can't break this feeling
It's just so hard for me to understand
I don't know why life's become so complicated
It's out of my hands for the answers
Maybe I ought to give up
Maybe I should just run away
Away from it all and hide
That doesn't solve anything
And if won't make things any better for me
I get so frustrated and confused
I don't know why but I do
I don't know why money has become so important
It's so hard to get ahead when you're broke
I don't know why people just don't seem to care
No one to listen when you need it
I don't know why I try and fall flat on my face
Guess that's the way I learn the best
I don't know why I cry when I'm overwhelmed
It's something that just happens to me
Some day things will get better
We live and we learn from our mistakes
That's what makes us stronger
So we can be happy when we succeed
I don't know why I try to do my best
It's not always the right way, but it's my way
To me it's worth it, and always should be
I will always do my best to succeed
And keep on trying for my best
It may take some time to get it right
But I know if I keep trying something will work
I don't know why I just can't explain it
It may not make sense to you
But it makes perfect sense to me
That's what's important
So I can keep trying
And finally make it
To see myself succeed

Alone

Sometimes I feel as if I am alone in this world So many things to do, so many decisions to make Sometimes you get the advice you need Sometimes you get shown the wrong path Either way we are all alone in making decisions for ourselves Sometimes it seems as though we are torn between two things Which way do we turn, how do we make that decision If only there would be a way to try one, then rewind time, try the other But our lives don’t seem to be that way One wrong decision could change our lives dramatically Whether it be money, jobs, or places to live What is the easiest way to decide on what to do? Some say follow your heart or your gut instinct You can get all the advice you think you need But in the end you are still alone to make your decision
