"Beauty"

Beauty's not in the way she talks,

Beauty's not in the way she walks,

Beauty's in the way she speaks--

On the days when she feels weak.

Beauty's not in the clothes she wears,

Beauty's not in the way she styles her hair,

Beauty's in the way she shares--

And in all the ways she loves and cares.

Beauty's what's inside of her heart,

Even on the days when she falls apart.

"Look for the Bright Side"

Colors painted pretty--
Everywhere.
Your smile is so gorgeous,
That everyone stares.

Your smile sweetheart,
Is nothing to hide.
So on bad days,
Look for the bright side.

"Heart of Exhaustion"

It breaks my heart to see people in pain,
So much that sometimes it drives me insane.

My heart it breaks, often so,
That I tend to breakdown, it's so hard to let go.

It's hard to carry all of this sadness.
My kindness, my weakness, the root of my madness.

I try to go out, get some fresh air to breathe.
I've heard some stories, you wouldn't believe.

All of the sadness, it makes me so weak.
Often sometimes, that I can't even speak.
