Robots Don't Cry

Shock numbs the pain

But only for a time

It sets up a defense

Ignoring the crime

Function continues

As if we're machines

Until it all blows

To smithereens

This world cares not

Whether my heart stays whole

It doesn't repent

Doesn't try to console

'Blue Skies' plays

To the beat of my tears

The music is lively

And nobody hears

So calloused we seem

So fragile we are

Humanity's children

Not one without a scar

Will I bleed forever?

Stuck inside this skin?

I wonder if it'd be easier

To be made of tin.

The Restoring of a Heart

Don't doubt My love

Just because you can't feel it

It's not up for grabs

No one can steal it

This desert wandering

Is only a season

I haven't let you down

I didn't die for no reason

Are you surprised this life

Has let you down?

Did you forget these garlands

Don't compare with My crown?

Has not My providence

Been repeatedly proven?

Where is your faith

That you've been disillusioned?

Yes, you've been abandoned

But not by Me

Let the bitterness go

I've nailed it to the tree

No scheme of man

No hurt, push or shove

Nothing can separate

You from My love.

Brave

To the one who thinks strength

Resides in her fist

Whose natural impulse

Is always to resist

To the girl on the run

Who won't give up the chance to try

Who stands her ground

With chin held high

To her who glories

In a good, tough fight

Undaunted by foes

And friends alike

You don't have to be so tough

It's ok to let go

Every question's answer

You don't have to know

Giving up your resistance 

Is not the same as giving in

There are worthier causes

Better wars to win

Walls provide protection

But only form a grave

Step out of your armor

Find the Strength to be brave.
