A.W.O.L

I want to run away from this place
I want to be away from me
I try to not think about ways to leave
but those are the only ways I see

I write this all down trying to feeling better
I write this all down to get it out of me
but nothing sounds like it will help
nothing will help but to leave

but I can't do that
I can't run away and be free
because all my problems will follow
because all my problems are within me.

Chinese Proverb

“Tell Me and I will forget
Show Me and I may remember
Involve me and I will understand”

I Want to Know What Love Is

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

Smile

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
