take your time

changing yourself is hard work

you will slip into your old self sometimes 

be slow to anger when that happens

just take it easy

you've been through a lot

and the success is that you're willing to change

the award is the actual change

championships don't have overnight

fairytales don't either

mind what you consume

you will ultimately become what you tolerate the most

therefore if failure is more familiar to you than love

if disrespect is more frequent than unconditional love

you will end up looking like what you've been through

and that kind of darkness wears your beauty down

you are what you eat

what nourishes you, destroys you 

you are what you consume

you are who you love

you are the culmination of everything you've ever been through and everyone you've been through it with

choose your lovers wisely because some of them are teaching everything but love

good thing

I had a dream I was mugged outside your house
I had a dream in a panic you came running out
For a moment you were sure I'd die on you
For a moment I believed you loved me too
But life is never like this, and you're never strong

Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall

We'd talk maybe 20 times a day
And still I never say what I want to say
I thought I wouldn't need to
I guess I read you wrong

Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall

You refuse to see this, don't see it anymore
I have made the decision not to answer your calls
Cause I put everything out there and I got nothing at all

Too much of a good thing isn't good and you know
I watch where I walk before I fall
Before I fall

The Sand is Safe

It's like walking on water, I don't know if I'm drowning or in the midst of a miracle

It takes some kind of faith to remain sturdy in his steps

I close my eyes and feel him 

I can feel the goosebumps on skin so sensitive I forget there's skin there

I walk in his whispers, his voice guiding my steps, creeping into my subconscious

He is with me even when he is not 

And I am able to walk on water 

Never once reaching back for the shore

Not for its security 

Not to mimic the way it forgives the water for crashing into it time and time again

I never look back to the shore, shaking and trembling I still walk 

Not knowing if I'm going to drown or if I'm in the midst of a miracle

And when I feel like I'm just about to crumble from the weakness in my knees, it hits me
He has given me wings
I was never walking on water
I was taking flight
