Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too

The world is beating you down, I’m around through every move

Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

I feel glorious, glorious

Got a chance to start again

I was born for this, born for this

It's who I am, how could I forget?

Them chickens jackin' my style

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laughed

To see such sport,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Last night, while I lay thinking here,

Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear

And pranced and partied all night long

And sang their same old Whatif song:

Whatif I’m dumb in school?

Whatif they’ve closed the swimming pol?

Whatif I get beat up?

Whatif there’s poison in my cup?

Whatif I start to cry?

-"Whatif" by Shel Silverstein

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

You really are a heel

You're as cuddly as a cactus

You're as charming as an eel

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears

So done with wishing you were still here

Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow

So why can't I turn off the radio?

"Your love is a symphony

All around me

Running through me

Your love is a melody

Underneath me

Running to me"

You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes

You’re paralyzed

‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night

And no one’s gonna save you from the beast about to strike.

They put me in the oven to bake.

Me, a deprived and miserable cake.

Feeling the heat, I started to bubble.

Watching the others, I knew I was in trouble.

You are simply the sun in my sky

Death crept in like a thief and without a word Stole what was most dear to me

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

She is a sunshine

My mother is a machine

Babies are gentle like a soft cotton touching your face

As playful as a kitten

She is as innocent as an angel

Seeing, slithering snakes makes my spine shiver.
