Pretty porcelain doll,

Fragile,
...

God was sad today,
So it rained,
And rained,
And rained,
...

Death,
I once feared you so,
Before learning life is a play,
And we all play
...

Strip me of my jewels, my clothes, and my name
For these do not make me,
I am my soul, my heart, and my brain.
...

Words are just words they say,
They do not matter,
They do nothing,
No,
...

We are all just,
Drip,
Drip,
Dripping away,
...

Beware of the Bushes ahead,
Is what the warning sign read.

But my curiosity,
...

You stole all my smiles away,
There will be no more happiness for me,
Just tears and sadness all day.
...

If you love me,
You will respect me,
You will protect,
And not neglect me,
...

With each day that passes,
I love you more and more,
A passion like ours,
Can't be ignored,
...

Life is now,
One moment bleeding into the next,
I could careless about time,
When I smoke cigarettes,
...

Only when I'm among the innocent
Do I see the stains upon my soul
My heart longs to be in Heaven with the Lord
Woefully,
...

I scream,
I shout,
Please listen to me.
Your ears shut,
...

Only for you do I wake
Asleep in a dream I have been
Living against you
Living in sin
...

How can I move on?
When all I've known is gone.
Truth is I'm lost,
And I've been living wrong.
...

Friends and family,
Are people you do not hurt or leave.
Motivate, support, and be there;
It takes more than words to show you care.
...

You will never be more than dirt they said,
He refused to believe this so he read and he read,
He expanded his mind and rose to the top
Conquered the world he could not be stopped.
...

I'm stuck in a dream,
Where nothing is quite what it seems.
Trapped in my mind,
Life is my beliefs.
...

My heart beats a song with your name,
Somewhere you are out there,
I can hear your heart singing my name.
...

There's a Pretty Bird that was born in a cage,
She'd sing beautiful songs and pose on her little bird stage,
Her owner took her place to place and put her on display,
Beautiful feathers,
...
