Beautiful Lies

I've always told myself
that I was something I wasn't
Always making myself
sounding better than I was
Perhaps
I was joking
Perhaps
I was hiding from the truth
But whatever it was
the were all the same
Lies
The ugly thing that made me sound so wonderful
Beautiful
Smart
Brave
Everything that sometimes
I feel
I'm not
But as I say them
in my heart
I want to believe
Those lies
made me feel beautiful
Those lies
Those beautiful lies

Ripples in the Water

As I look out toward the lake
A girl is not what I see
Did the creator make a mistake
When he first created me?

Names I have many
None of them are real
my thoughts aren't worth a penny
People don't care how I feel.

Scrawny, brat, tom-boy
is all I hear each day
Do I never bring anyone joy?
Should I believe everything they say?

No, I shall stand strong
For what I see I should be proud
I will prove that they are wrong
No longer scrawny, bratty, or loud.

So what if I'm not stunning
Perhaps I'm not too sweet
I feel bad when I send people running
In my heart I feel defeat

I was always being compared
Well now I will not allow
Perhaps everywhere I go I am not stared
beauty trophies I will not bestow.

I have friends who might not agree
That I am the best that I can be
Perhaps I never will be pretty
Perhaps to my heart, they'll never find the key.

The ripples in the water are becoming quite clear
I know just what I want to see
No longer of myself I shall fear
Because what I see is me.

I know I have the power
For it is I, Misty Kasumi Waterflower

Unspoken

I stand here in the darkness
so lonely and afraid
I need someone to hold me
before I fall and fade

I want to feel your warmth
And sigh under your touch
I want you to hold me forever
Or am I asking of too much?

I know I won't admit it soon
Perhaps you'll never know
that sometimes I have the urge to say
that I do love you so.

Pidgeotto

Fly away
I want to fly away with you
I want to live a life
Live a life without the worries and pain
I want to taste the air
Breathe the fresh air again
Please enwrap me in a whirlwind
of tender words and gentle love
and we will go our ways

Everybody needs someone to love
But I can only hold myself
Everybody needs some bitter joy
the hardships they go through
that only brings a stronger bond
But I have only myself

If you have the answers
to why we ever have to live
Why we have to worry
and why we have to hope
Please tell me 'cuz I need to know
Fly higher, higher than a Pidgeotto

I want you to caress me with your words
I want to watch your every move
It brings me joy to see your face
And when the night comes
everything vanishes
Everything I have every dreamed
Every memory
and reverie
Fades with the sun

So when the night comes
I want to hold you
because I need you
I want you tell me it's okay

I want you to know
that I want to love you
I want to be with you
everyday and every night
Tell me which way to go
Fly higher, higher than a Pidgeotto

Come with me
Come with me to a better place
Rise with me
Rise above the dawn
and when the sun sets
we know that our love is true
Please tell me
Tell me why
Cuz I want to fly
