Words of Lizdom

Let's start with the latest and greatest...2001 (ok, so I'm a little slow ...I'll realize it's 2002 in a few months)

"Back into the Jungle"
You're afraid that you can't resist me
So you choose not to be near me
Back away like a scared animal
Unable to fly
You've been into that lonely jungle
Returning there without me
Could only be worse this time
Deep down you know that
But the tiger, she entices you
Her teeth, her claws
Only want to rip you apart now
Because they didn't have you
And I did
Did
Until I made the difference
You can't have me and not have me at the same time
Open up your eyes
You're going to be swallowed whole.

"Looking into Discovery"
Just when you think nothing else can go wrong
Something goes right
And changes your perspective
Giving hope
Reassuring that part of you
That knows you'll get to where you need to be
When you need to be there
Even though your direction is unsure now
You know that leaves room for surprises
For greater things
For a future you have yet to discover.

"It Was You"
You made me smile and my tears disappeared
You made me laugh and all the worries that seemed to matter didn't
Before I knew it, I was happy
Before I knew it, he didn't matter
You did
And I can't find the strength in my soul
To ask you
If you feel the same
If you want me like I want you
You are scared, no doubt
But what's at the core?
Would you be scared of something that wasn't real?
That didn't matter?
Or can you be playful with me
Because it really doesn't matter?

"Memory"
He creeps up out of the darkness
Where I forgot he was hiding
He has many siblings
Some make me laugh, some make me cry
But this memory
He makes me sad, yet he makes me smile
A simpler time
An innocent love
Secure surroundings
For a time
No questions
Today's complexity becomes more apparent
But this memory
He calls me back
Back to simplicity
Back to acceptance
Back to trust
Back to love.

"Don't"
Don't KISS me out of sympathy
Don't KISS me because you long for her ugly face
Don't CALL me as a last resort
Don't TALK to me for hours and pretend it doesn't matter to you
Don't PRETEND you never loved me
Don't PRETEND you don't feel anything now
Don't OPEN it all up to close the door in my face again
Don't ACT like you didn't want me
Don't LIMIT being open to altered states
Don't LIE to yourself
Don't DISAPPOINT me.

"Can't you see it?"
You don't want to trust me
Please see who I really am
I am not the party girl I pretend to be
When I love
I love with all of me
When I give
I give with all of me
So do you
I see it
But you can't trust me
I can't understand why
I've got so much to give
I don't ask for your future
I ask for your now
I care about you so much
Can't you see that?
It's you
Only you
Just open up and let me in
Two good people
Two huge hearts
Big enough to care for everyone else
But humble enough to let themselves be cared about?
Take down the walls
Tell me your fears
I will tell you everything
Everything you want to know
Just ask
Never be afraid of me

For other stuff I've written!!

Give me suggestions people!!
