The Writings and Rambings: The Rain

The rain is pounding
I never really liked rain
I pull up the hood of my sweat shirt
Holding the hands of those on either side of me
I begin to sing with the others
Eventually I reached the door frame
I stepped outside
The cool rain felt good
I let my hood down The rain engulfed me
Nothing felt better
I felt alive

The Writings and Rambings: To My Best Friend

It is almost like that song
You know the one
It goes like, "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When its cold outside, I've got the month of May"
Only I don't love you like the singer loves his girl
I love you the way only a best friend can

I love the way I can call you any hour when I need to talk
I love the way you got me from the beginning
I love the way your smile makes me instantly happier
I love the way you really don't care about my weirdness (let's face it you are just as strange)
I love the way you are stupid enough to be my best friend

The Writings and Rambings: I'm Too Nice for That

I wanted so much to yell
To scream
To call you names
To hurt you

But I'm too nice for that
It seems I'm too nice for a lot of things

So instead I avoided you like the plague
Except I had a part to play
I had a duty so I was a professional

Then I couldn't stand it
I had to stop this silly charade
I wanted to be friends
I thought it was what I needed
But I was at a loss for words,
for once

Eventually we talked
And we were friends again
But I still wanted to yell
To scream
To call you names
To hurt you

But I'm too nice for that

The Writings and Rambings: Paradise

A paradise untouched by society
Civilization inhabits this paradise
For civilization is different than society
If society encroached upon this paradise,
paradise will be lost
If paradise is lost,
all will be lost

Never assume paradise is safe
You must fight to save it
Never forget that
Someone will always fight to destroy you paradise
Just remain strong
