I waltz in

To the casino floor

Of the MGM Grand

Let's play some more!

I insert the cash

The machine goes BLING BLING!

I pull the lever

The machine goes DING DING!

Five hundred dollars

Down the drain

So let's try again, and hope

It won't be in vain

Soon I'm out of cash

I leave Vegas in tears

It was all in vain

This was the worst of my fears...

Every day

My hands turn gray

Every day

They're gray as clay

Every day

I'm locked and loaded

Sculptin' my clay

My gaze is focused

What will be

My sculpture today?

How do I find out?

There's only one way!

Just experiment

Just try something new

What you make each time

It's all up to YOU!

...

"What did you do?"

I made you lunch.

"What did you do?"

I made you brunch.

"What did you do?"

I cooked so you don't have to.

"But why, my dear?"

I cooked because I love you....

Feels good to get it off my chest

Keeping this secret is not for the best

I have to tell them, there's no other way

Feels good to tell Mom and Dad, "I'm gay!"...

Hearts

As they beat

I cringe

Visible through my mask

But nobody notices

Hearts

As they beat

I observe

The surgeon puts on gloves

And begins surgery

Hearts

As they beat

He explains

And he demonstrates

Me and my classmates assist

Hearts

As they beat

We save lives

Through an open heart surgery

We do our parts...

What the hell?

Timothy noticed those words written on the gravestone, the words etched into it in quite neat cursive writing.

It was a bright and sunny day in the Lockwood Cemetery. All around, birds chirped and green trees towered over the many tombstones, most with bouquets of roses. It was an expansive graveyard; the tombstones, scattered all over the green grass, stretched as far as the n...

I don't want to stick out like a weed

In a field of wildflowers

If people see me for my differences

They'll make me cry for hours

I don't understand what's wrong with me

I'm afraid of people seeing me

For who I am because I hate how they treat me

Why can't they just let me be?

...

As I’m lost in zero gravity

I float among the stars

I’m in between dozens of them

As I stare right at Mars

Even if I die today

I’d still be at peace

Even if this is the day

That my life would cease

I’ve lived a full life to this point

So I let out joyful screams

As I have the time of my life

I’ve achieved all my dreams

I’m lost in zero gravity

Staring right at Mars

At fifty years old, I’m at pe...

Jules immediately reached for the flashlight by his bed. Even though it was pitch black, he knew exactly where it was and could even reach for it through the dust from the damage to his ceiling.

As he turned on the flashlight, he was unprepared for what he saw. All around him lay pieces of concrete on the floor, some large, some small, some merely specks of dust. An earthquake had hit just now...

Joey felt a sharp pain in his foot.

“Ouch!  That hurts!” he yelped.  His fiancee, Janet, chuckled as she bent down to pry the crab off of his big toe and set him back down like a fragile seashell on the white sand of Venice Beach.

“Thanks babe,” Joey said as he rubbed his toe.  After a few minutes, he felt better.  They kept strolling along the beach, almost as if nothing had happened - except f...
