"Finding Peace"

Finding peace--

Is it a place?

Can I touch it?

Does it have a face?

Finding peace--

Is it a date?

And if it is--

Can we mate?

Finding peace--

Is it a time?

Can I steal it?

Would that be a crime?

Finding peace--

And some solace.

Finding peace--

Would be flawless.

"Sunshine and Rainbows"

Sunshine and rainbows--

More like thunder and doubts.

Sitting here wondering--

What life is all about.

Sunshine and rainbows--

More like mixed confusion.

The sun in my life--

Seems like a delusion.

Sunshine and rainbows--

Are not what I see.

An actress and writer--

Is what I dream to be.

Sunshine and rainbows--

More like thunder and pain.

I look for the rainbow--

But all I see is the rain.

Sunshine and rainbows--

More like rivers of doubt.

Sitting here wondering--

What life is about.

Sunshine and rainbows--
Is what I give to you.
Because I have faith in you--
No matter what you do.

Sunshine and rainbows--
Lie somewhere within me.
I just have to set my heart out--
To what/where I want to be.

"Sometimes I Wonder"

Sometimes I wonder--
Why does her picture fall?
Sometimes I wonder--
What changes us all?

Sometimes I wonder--
What happens to a burn?
Sometimes I wonder--
Why must we live in order to learn?

Sometimes I wonder--
When does a flower start to bloom?
Sometimes I wonder--
How much pressure can stay in a room?

Sometimes I wonder--
Why do good people end in pain?
Sometimes I wonder--
What keeps a person sane?

Sometimes I wonder--
Why do I feel blue?
Sometimes I wonder--
Why I still miss you?

Sometimes I wonder--
Why we all have to make mistakes?
Sometimes I wonder--
When is it best to take a break?

Sometimes I wonder--
Why can't we all just get along?
Sometimes I wonder--
What does it take to be strong?

Sometimes I wonder--
Why have a heart that only breaks?
Sometimes I wonder--
What makes people gamble at high stakes?


Sometimes I wonder--
What is it like to be heard?
Sometimes I wonder--
How my vision blurred?

Sometimes I wonder--
What gets people off of track?
Sometimes I wonder--
If he will ever come back...

Sometimes I wonder--
Just a little too much.
Sometimes I wonder--
About things and such.

"And She Asks Why?"

Why can't we come together
In unity?
Why does a wild soul
Long to be free?

What happens to a soul
Trapped in a shadow?
Can a boat sail to sea
Without a paddle?

What really happens
To the broken-hearted?
How can you cross the finish line
When you haven't even started?

Is the air in the sky
Really blue?
Who do you count on
After all you've been through?


What makes a saint
Or a sinner?
What separates a loser
From a winner?

What happens
To those who are lost?
If the best things in life are free,
Then why do most things cost?

What happens to a gypsy
That cannot blend?
Why say you're going,
When you don't plan to attend...

"If I Only Knew Why..."

What is an hour?

Once time elapses.

What is a tower?

Once it collapses.

What is a heart?

After it's been broken.

What are words?

When they are no longer spoken.

Why do we want things

We don't think we can have?

But when we get them

We no longer want them.

We do we destroy

The things we want to keep?

And sell our souls

For things that we will reap?

Why do we fight for the truth?

When all we really want is a lie.

Why do we stop to say hello?

When it just ends with a goodbye.

Why do we hurt

The ones we love?

Yet, love the ones

Who hurt us?

Why does our heart

Takes us in one direction--

And yet, our mind

Takes us in another?

Why do we change
Our imperfections?

Just to look like

Another.

Why do the wise

Think they're the fools?

And yet, the fools

Think they are wise?

Why do we live in the

Sunset?

Even when the

Sun rise.
