Designated Doodler

You know, this was the first birthday in five years that I haven't spent in Fort Worth, so I was a little worried at how it'd go. Fortunately it was amazing. The people in my life are fantastic and I'm so glad to be where I'm at in life. When I blow out those candles I've wished for the same thing for a decade and it has come true every year. One of the things I love about my birthday is that when it's over (which is kind of sad) all I have to do is remind myself that Christmas is right around the corner. 'Tis the season to be merry. So to myself and all of my good friends who have a December birthday; Merry Birthmas!

Twenty-three I'm so glad to see that number next to my name In the hopes of a year that's not the same As the one that beat me up and ripped me down But now it's my time, this is my town Heavy is the head that wears the crown A hero isn't a hero without a cross to bear And I'm no hero but I'm halfway there

What happens when you lose someone? In that moment of loss Who do you become When all you've ever known Is gone And the breath of yesterday is still so strong In your heart and your mind That there is no logic to find The truth in reality It couldn't be time I am still yours And you are still mine It isn't enough To write in a rhyme And describe How half of who you are is gone There is not enough Time in one life to prepare There's not enough tough Inside of you to get there To swallow a reality That you can't bear Beyond belief Is now home What you knew Is now gone And someway You have to Find some Way to Carry On
