Right choices are often enforced with fear 

So why be scared of the present 

Lay with me

just be here

I’m sorry…

Sun, it’s beaming; the skin, it’s glowing 

I paint your nails in the park 

My feelings really showing

Goodness

Cheese, wine, bread, grapes, even crackers 

Cackle as you laugh the longer we sit and chatter 

I fear what you’ll think if you ever really see më 

I ponder what I’ll see when I know the real you

Fear, joy, anger, passion, lustful desire 

Let’s just see what’s up for the summer 

F**k it

Trial by fire
