When I listen to the music
Nothing can hurt me
When I listen to the music
I’m as happy as I’ll be
When I listen to the music
I’m in a safe place
When I listen to the music
My worries are erased
When I listen to the beat
I simply drift away
When I listen to the beat
There's nothing I can say
When I listen to the beat
It's the only time I feel
When I listen to the beat
Nothing is real
When I listen to the words
I try to sing along
When I listen to the words
I feel like I belong
When I listen to the music
There's nothing I can't do
When I listen to the music
The feeling is so true
I wrote this several years ago. Nothing was capitalized, so I fixed that. It was back when I didn't capitalize anything. It looked like e. e. cummings wrote it.

The Truth about Thunder.
Have you ever heard thunder during a storm? I was always taught that when lightning strikes, it makes a really loud noise and we hear it as thunder. They tell you that in every school in America. But I know better.
Most people don't know this, but there's a dragon living in a cave on the other side of the river where I live. He's a very friendly dragon, but he really hates lightning. So, whenever there's a storm and he sees the lightning, he starts roaring. Every flash of lightning he sees makes him roar. Usually, he'll stay in his cave during a storm and just grumble on about the lightning. But sometimes he takes off into the sky, high above the clouds, letting his voice boom throughout the town. During the winter, he hibernates. There's no lightning in the winter so he can sleep peacefully.

Forgotten.
There is a place
You've never been there
Nobody has
They can't remember where it is
It's the place where your forgotten memories reside
When you walk into a room and can't remember why you're there
The place gets a new addition to its collection
The older you get
The more you contribute to this place
It has a name
But nobody can remember it
We'll just call it the Place
You've probably experienced the Place
It's dark
Lonely
Scary
You'd know if you were there
That poem you memorized in high school but now have forgotten is there
The lead singer of your old favorite band
Your lover's birthday might even be there
Everything anyone has ever forgotten is there
Remember that guy you gave change to last month?
Of course you don't
He's there
If you ever find yourself there
Abandon all hope
You've forgotten yourself
But do me a favor
There's someone I want you to say hi to for me
Her name starts with an S
You've never been there
Nobody has
They can't remember where it is
It's the place where your forgotten memories reside
