Appearing - Shawna Ray, today

Small means nothing - matter of mind
Stars seem tiny while they shine bright
Closer you get - the more you see
Bigger than what is appearing

First impression we encounter
All depends on the observer
Closer you get - the more you reach
Deeper than what is appearing

Time and growth, like a layered stone
At the core and heart of a crystal soul
And the more you seek is the more you'll know
Beyond the surface  

Small means nothing - matter of mind
Stars seem tiny while they shine bright
Closer you get the more you reach
Farther than what is appearing

distance

soft blankets curl up
but I can't sleep
what is this power
you have over me?

i tried to say no
if you won't follow
why would I
keep on following?

last on your list
could've been us
you had to keep your distance
watch as I go
finding my own
you'll have to go the distance

why is this a game
you hunt and chase
those who will play
that hard to get

show and you tell
ego is swelled
ignorant don't know
what you missed

last on your list
could've been us
you had to keep your distance
watch as I go
finding my own
you'll have to go the distance

in another life
maybe I'll catch your eye
in another life
i'll have learned not to try

so sorry but i don't know you
so sorry ill keep my distance
so sorry but you're not on my list

Like That

So the sunshine and the flowers...
Will be beautiful, when no one cares.
On the mountain, when the sun sets...
Beauty exists. Do you like it?

I think we've got it backwards...
Always living for approval.
On my bucket list is stillness...
And realness,  moving forward.
Even if you don't like that.
Yeah, even if you don't like me.
Well, even if you don't like that...
I will, I will be free!

Keep dancing in the bedroom...
In the car, I'm happy singing.
No awards are ever given...
For the small crowd, silent funding.

I think we've got it backwards...
Always living for approval.
On my bucket list, is stillness...
And realness, moving forward.
Even if you don't like that.
Yeah, even if you don't like me.
Well, even if you don't like that...
I will, I will be free!

To be myself.
Giving hugs and smiling.
If you aren't feeling it...
I don't need you to like me.
I will still tell you what I think...
Agree to disagree?
We've got it backwards...
Always living for approval.
On my bucket list is stillness...
And realness, moving forward.
Even if you don't like that.
Yeah, even if you don't like me.
Well, even if you don't like that...
I will, I will say...
Even if you dont like that.
Yeah, even if you don't like me.
Well, even if you don't like that...
I will, I will be free.
