Pause, Fastforward, Rewind

you and I share recycled moments
i pause rewind fastforward and play
over and over and over again

I am oblivious to your absence as I

get lost in this fantasy that i have created
a world of my own

i am still caught in the endless web of your smile
heart still racing to your electric finger tips
tounges locked in a moment in time
PAUSE
this moment could last forever

FASTFORWARD
to the moment we shared dancing in the rain

hand in hand...

and my feet slowly follow the rythm of your heartbeat

REWIND

to the moment I first saw you

or did you see me first - I don't remember       

but i remember that eyes met

and the cameras started rolling

if I press STOP then my fantasy ends

so i'll pause, fastforward, rewind and play -

the film of endless love and recycled moments

for you said I could have you in my life forever

Silent Screams

everybody wants to be seen, heard and acknowledged

see me for who i am
and not who you would like me to be
see the dreams that are within me
and see me reaching my goals
see me even if you don't like what you see
i am not a memory to be erased
so see me standing there

hear me and don't just listen
let every word that pours out of my mouth through your ears
into the depths of you
hear my truth too
hear what i have to say about religion, poverty, war, and money
hear what i think of the past and the future
hear my song even though it be out of your tune
hear my voice though it hurt your ears
HEAR MEEEEEEE!!!!!

Acknowledge me for i know you saw me
answer me for i know you heard me
do not pretend i don't exist
do not pretend you cannot see my ackward shadow against the wall
do not pretend you cannot hear my heavy breath in the silence of the night
Acknowledge me
Tell me that you see me
tell me that you hear me

I am IMPORTANT Too!!!
