You're Always Right, You're Always Wrong

It’s not one
It’s not two, three, or four
It is so many many more

If there’s only few
It is always one or the other
Winners
Losers
One Above
More and more below

I’m right
You’re wrong, but...
I’m right, and
You’re wrong:
The question remains

It’s a point of view
A perspective you take
Standing here: all that looks wrong to me
Standing there: all of this looks wrong to me
You’re always right
You’re always wrong
when there are two choices

It’s not about a point of view
It’s not about where you stand
Or how loud you exclaim: “who?”
“Us?”,”Them?”
We’re right, they’re wrong
You’re always right
You’re always wrong
When there are two choices

It is about possibility
The vastness of it all
It extends beyond the horizon
Above and below, all over, each little bit
All endless, all forever, all infinite

Let’s open our eyes
Open our hearts
Open our minds
Open up to the truth:
We are infinite

We have choices, let’s decide
To no longer pick sides and divide
Let’s choose to open up
See what might be
Show people our vision
So they can see

Let’s decide
We’re done with yesterday
It’s gone
We must face the pain
We must face the hurt
But we must use it
To move us
Challenge us
Not to recreate it, but...
Create the future we all want

Beauty is on the Inside

I see you’re beautiful on the outside
Now I want to see if you’re beautiful on the inside
I want to see inside your heart, inside your mind
I want to know
what you want in life
I want to know
what you do when you don't get your way
I want to know
what you do when you don't like what others say
I want to know
if you’re as beautiful as you look
Just open your heart, open your mind, and let me inside

I don't need to tell you you’re beautiful because you already know
You don't need to be validated, and you don't need to be encouraged
Your beauty comes from inside so you are not afraid
Not afraid of what others will tell you or say
Not afraid to let others know, that the best part is what's beneath

I can see it coming through
your beauty radiates from within, it glows
through your eyes, through your smile
I know you’re beautiful girl, now, don’t be shy
Let that light beam out from inside

Don’t be afraid that it is too bright
Don’t be shy that it’s your light

I see your body
Now show me your heart
Show me your mind
That is where true beauty lies
Not with what our eyes tell us we see,
But from your vision, your ideas, your words
How you say it, believe it’s true,
Then look into someone else’s heart and make sure they believe it too

You’re more than beautiful
You’re more than words
There is so much more to you underneath
But that’s the part I love and want to keep

Questions

I have lots of questions, not sure when I will have answers

Answers may never come, questions are what drive

Why do I always feel that way when you come in the room?

What is it that I feel? Shy? Nervous?

Is this a good sign? Is it a warning sign?

Will we ever get that drink?

Will I keep asking until you say yes?

We didn’t agree on everything we talked about

You had your own ideas, you stood your ground

This is a good thing?

It is better not to agree on everything?

We spent the evening together, then I saw you all night in my dreams

Are we becoming friends?  

Did we almost kiss goodnight?

Every time I give up on the chance of seeing you, there you are

I want to move on

Could we move on together?

I see you at night too when I sleep, you control me there too

Do I need to be in control?

Do I need to be the one to make the calls?

Can I not let you take the lead?

You like to spend time with the boys

I asked if you had a lot of boyfriends

You talked about a lot of people coming out

Could I not even hear my own words?

Does it always need to be about a relationship?

What about the chance to meet a special person?

We had such a great night, a great Wednesday

Why can’t I just enjoy that for what it was?

Why do I worry so much?

Why do I even make a big deal out of all these issues?

Do I even want to be giving myself?

Do I want to risk not allowing myself the chance to follow my dreams?

What about me?

Am I loosing myself to worries about dead ends?

I’ll keep asking questions, I will probably never find answers
