22. Unconditional Love

All I’ve ever wanted. All I’ve wished that could be,

Is that someone love me unconditionally.

Somebody who knows me, knows the inside and out,

And still loves me without any doubt.

Questions tear at my heart, asking when, who, and how?

Why can’t love find me here and now?

Will love ever come by, to a soul such as me,

Who has been deprived so blatantly?

The past holds nothings; nones.

Future’s my sun and my breath.

Dear ‘God’, please deliver some love before death!

I’m so sick of goodbyes,

Of the fading faces,

Of the tragedies of all the cases.

Of all the things to want, of all the things to need,

Love is wanted the most indeed!

All I’ve ever wanted. All I’ve wished that could be,

Is that someone love me unconditionally.

21. Our Worldly Zoo

People go with life.

Deal with all the strife.

There are things to do,

In this worldly zoo.

We go so fast these days,

That we get lost in our ways.

Don’t stop to take anything in,

But human corruption and sin.

Where is the beauty that once was here?

All that’s left is loneliness, sadness, and fear.

20. Unshed Tears

Tears, I feel them,

Yet not one does drop.

They are there,

Holding still,

Under flesh they dwell.

Resting and dragging your soul,

Down and down;

Making you feel as if you’ll drown.

Why don’t they leave?

Why can’t they fall?

Tears, I feel them,

Yet not one does fall.

They are there, holding still,

Under flesh they dwell…

If only they fell.

19. The Wanderer

Sometimes I wish that I could be a traveler who wanders ever free.

Free to go wherever they choose.

Free to hear all the news.

Free to be who they want to be.

Free to see what they want to see.

Free to run through corn fields, and sleep out under the moon;

And see all the wonderful beauty that most forget to tune.

Sometimes I wish that I could be, a wanderer who travels ever so free.

18. Your Power

You have the power to change a life;

To turn it from the pain and strife.

You have the power with your words,

To make them feel cool or like nerds.

You have the power with each breath,

To contribute to or stop a death.

You have the power inside of you,

To change what they will think and do.

You have the power just like me,

To help the lame to walk and the blind to see.

You have the power at your core,

To change a person’s life, forevermore.
