Can't Write Now

Can't write now
I'll try to do it later
I'm in a hurry
things to do
trying not to worry

No time for me
to bring to life
my creativity

Can't write now
I'll try to do it later
I'm in a hurry
things to do
trying not to worry

Gotta eat breakfast
Gotta make lunch
Figuring finances
my minds in a bunch

Gotta make dinner
Gotta make the bed
So many thoughts
running through my head

Can't write now
I'll try to do it later
I'm in a hurry
things to do
trying not to worry

This Time

This time I mean it
I'm not giving in
This time I mean it
I am going to win

This time I mean it
I'm staying on course
This time I mean it
I'll trust in the force

This time I mean it
not like before
This time I mean it
I'm opening the door

This time I mean it
This time it's true
This time I mean it
This time will do

Welcome Back

Welcome back my creative side.
I am glad your influence
has ceased to hide.
I need you constantly by my side.
Welcome back my creative side.

This is a marvelous place to explore
Please stay with me  for I adore
all your eccentricities
The way you laugh and create with ease
The way you gently try to tease
the thoughts that exist deep within my core.

Welcome back my creative side.
I am glad your influence
has ceased to hide.
I need you constantly by my side.
Welcome back my creative side.

Thanks for taking to play
Thanks for taking time to stay
I try to work with  you everyday
but sometimes life gets in the way

Welcome back my creative side.
I am glad your influence
has ceased to hide.
I need you constantly by my side.
Welcome back my creative side.

So many choices
So many voices
So many words
that have yet to be heard
So many chances
to say what I feel
Creativity makes it real

Welcome back my creative side.
I am glad your influence
has ceased to hide.
I need you constantly by my side.
Welcome back my creative side.

Great American Melting Pot

The great American melting pot
doesn't seem to mean a lot
If your hair's not blonde
your skin's not white
and your eyes aren't blue

From Miss America
to Hunger Games
and even the
Presidential Campaign
the rampant racism
is the same.

The characters
weren't doused in bleach
and therefore
garnered much
hate speech

This is why the anger lives
This is why there's a divide
This is why there's so much pain
This is why we still complain

The great American melting pot
doesn't seem to mean a lot
If your hair's not blonde
your skin's not white
and your eyes aren't blue

Come together one and all
or else we're headed for a fall.
This place was built by many faces
We're  a nation of all races.

United we stand but
dived we fall.
Will we do away with hate
or is another civil war
our imminent fate?

Get up and Go

Dawning of a new day
can't tell the sun to go away
can't sleep away the hours
can't us your mystic powers

You've agreed to do the job
now get up without a sob
time to work and earn your pay
No, it's not a holiday

Get up, Get Up, Get up and go
The world is waiting as you know
Get up, get up, get up and go
The world is waiting as you know

Word Drought

Suffering from a serious drought
divining rod please bring my creativity out
Feeling lost
hoping to be found
Magic muses
please make a sound.

So many thoughts are in my way
emotional overload
keeps the words at bay
Need to move forward
Need to break through
Creativity there must be a path for you
