In The Sharing of My Life
the truth is personal
we learn from our experience
the things in life we see
the things in knowledge
that divide our time
the places we go
the spaces we take
how we give & what we make
listening to conversation
the cards of talk we play
of what we want to get across
of what we hear ourselves say
to comprehend, to convey
life is about what we appreciate
in others, others are there
to connect, to reflect
friends, people & loved ones
all make this life
a life of value
a life of introspection
like a reflection of our collection
of communication, information
we are made for each other
compassion is all that is real
in this reality called life
ours, think about that
it's yours & it's mine
our space, our time
the art of talk
the art of listen
thirst to converse
walking abreast
thinking, feeling
zest
the sparkle in my mind
the tone of your voice
in my HEAD

Amy Speace- Make Me Lonely Again
I sit by my window and stare at the moon
I've held all your letters till my fingers were blue
I recall every moment like I'm pressing rewind
I got what I asked for now I'm losing my mind
Even when I was younger I liked being alone
Felt awkward at parties didn't go to the prom
While the whole world was dancing and falling in love
I stayed home in my slippers watching 'Harold and Maude'
I feel like I'm dying
'Cause I'm always crying
If this is what love is
Make me lonely again
I didn't date much, didn't understand why
When girlfriends had crushes how they'd giggle and sigh
Love made them seem stupid, dizzy and lost
I bragged love would never tie my stomach in knots
Chorus
But when I met you dear, my pride took a dive
I loved you in the instant you looked into my eyes
Now my whole world is spinning and I'm not sleeping so well
If love's really the answer why does it put us through hell?
I've held all your letters till my fingers were blue

While the whole world was dancing and falling in love
I stayed home in my slippers watching 'Harold and Maude'
I feel like I'm dying

please, for me(Live In Reality)
personal devotion
personal truth
personal freedom
the things you say and do
come alive when they come from you
be proud when what you confirm is true
in the end, we will live in reality
oneness of two, believe it and it will be
in the end, we will live in reality
inside your inter-most being
personal devotion of inward nature
those feelings you hold inside, like the devil
divide & conquer, but eat you alive
bad feelings don't hold a candle to goodness & truth
when you use honesty, I statements
to come across with your own personal truths
when you hear yourself say, in an ordinary way
what is in your heart & on your mind
"Life is Hard, Be Kind"
(to yourself)
liberation of the mind, feelings & spirit
you are tender-hearted, not mentally retarded
life is for living, learning & love
so live, laugh, love...
be good, be good, be good
to separate loved ones from good friends
is simplistic in nature of both of them
you're to young to be so sad
you're to young to go mad
you're to good to be bad
personal freedom, what's meant to be
can open the door, to a new way to live in reality
