Be Like Jesus

Be Like Jesus

My mother tells me to be humble to stay it forward. But I’ve been humble for two decades and it’s done nothing but punish me. My mother tells me to be like Jesus. God says the same. And yes, I am God’s daughter, as I yearn great things. But if I keep this way, I’ll be dead inside. I’ll be nothing. I will end up like Jesus, palms forward and wrists pinned. - Sequoia Red

Far Out Of Reach

I hear music. I hear songs and I make up music, lacking access to any instrument or the ability to read music only feel it. I sing songs that touch me, like Temporal’s Fall Silently.

I see myself in my mind flowing through the movements, but I cannot duplicate the daydream.

I feel as though I am meant to dance in an empty studio and sing at the top of my lungs while standing in a field. Why do I have a yearning for things that are so far out of my reach?

I had to tell someone I love more than anything...that I can't stay.

What's the use in dreaming when no matter how hard you work, everything gets taken away from you?

In the Negative

"I wasn't always like this... I didn't always lash out. I didn't fear pain. I never feared the unknown. I never feared my love for you I never hated you. I didn't feel like I was wronged. But you make me wrong, as if I shouldn't be here. as if I was made incorrectly, with mistakes that are undoubtedly repulsive."

Notes:*..hmmm this is unfinished. But I thought I'd share with you wonderful people. It's going to be lyrics I think. Keep hearing songs in my head these days.
