Peanut Butter as a puppy
Hello, my old friend. How are you today? Are you okay? Oh, why am I talking to you? You cannot hear a word I say. Whether I tell you to sit or stay, you can no longer obey. You sleep the day away. You don't play fetch anymore. Who cares? I didn't enjoy it anyway. All right, okay, I did enjoy it. I miss those days when you wanted to play. I miss the days when you could hear me. Yet I still talk to you. I'd like to believe, with all my heart, I'd like to believe you're still listening. I'd like to believe you can feel me. You may be gray in the muzzle, and you walk with a limp, and you're half blind, but you still care. I know, I know, and I know that you still love me. Do you know I still love you?
I dreamed a dream most pleasant,
One that surpasses all dreams.
I saw someone wonderful,
So charming and so sweet.
He stood tall and firm,
Yet his complexion was so gentle.
He spoke in a deep, low voice,
One that was soothing and gentle.
His hair was dark, and it had a red cast,
That was visible when he stood in the sun.
His eyes were a bright green,
So friendly and so cheerful.
Before I could say a word,
I swooned from the excitement.
When I awoke, I was in my bed.
It was all a dream, I concluded,
And maybe I'm meant to be alone.
One that surpasses all dreams.

Bingo
I'm on the outside,
Looking in, to a world,
I don't truly understand.
Am I in the right era?
Am I with the right crowd?
It seems they're on the inside,
Looking out, at the me,
They don't truly understand.
They are in there,
Mocking me, because I'm different.
I'm out there,
Reaching out to those on the outside,
Looking in.
It let's me know I'm not alone.
I'm not the only one on the outside,
Looking in.

People say John was a dreamer,
But I assure you of this;
He was not the only one.
I am a dreamer, too.
He was clear when he told us,
"Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace."
Why aren't people listening?
People want a war so badly,
They can't stand it!
Didn't John tell us,
"Give peace a chance"?
I think his message was clear.
I think he'd be baffled,
If he saw what was going on.
John, I want you to know,
I'm still listening.
Who is with me?
But I assure you of this;
He was not the only one.

Weeds are flowers, too.
Just give them a chance.
They may look unsightly,
But they're amazing once they blossom.
They're often judged by their looks,
But take them seriously.
They're great once you know them.
I know I'm not a daisy,
A tulip, or a rose.
I may not be attractive,
But I'm pretty nice.
Don't judge what you don't know.
Yes, weeds are flowers, too.
Get to know them.
I guarantee you won't regret it.

She was once someone I know.
She is now someone I knew.
I told her all of my secrets.
She never told a soul.
She never ran out of things to say,
To make me feel better.
She was the star of the sea,
But her ship sailed away.
The waves pushed me back.
Now, I find, I'm all alone.
This great person I knew,
Was a good friend.
It's a shame this had to end.
I miss her greatly,
But pining over her,
Won't change anything at all.
I have to move on.
It's time to let go.
I will never forget what we had.
I finally accepted that it wasn't meant to be.

Who are you to tell me,
That I'm not so pretty?
Malicious Mirror, you weren't my friend.
You were my worst enemy!
You told me I was ugly,
And I couldn't make friends.
But I stayed strong,
And proved you wrong!
I'll now direct it to you,
Oh, Christians, I verily say,
Who are you to tell me,
What I should be?!
You told me to be prejudiced.
I was blind to your ways,
But now I see,
You tried to force a false identity.
What were you trying to do,
When you told me to believe,
Your lies? You said my grandfather,
Whom I loved dearly, is in Hell,
And I know that he is well.
He's behind that pearly gate,
And I know that is his fate.
Christians, you betrayed my trust,
Only to cause a thirst for lust.

When you told me you'd visit me,
You lied! Oh, how could this be?
Alas! Puppy Love tragically died.
I felt, as if, I'd fallen, into the dirt.
This lost love, left me badly hurt.
But I am all right.
I'm very much alive.
I'll take this scarred heart,
Let it heal, and keep it, from falling apart.
They say it's better to have loved and lost,
But, I think, I would have been better off,
To have never loved at all.
To love again, I never will.
It isn't worth, the pain that you feel.
Love is for someone, who isn't me.
I think it's best to let it be.
I am just fine, with the company of friends.
Not with lovers, that's how it is.
