HD is Callin…

We came here

With open minds

Unsure, full of fear,

Not expecting to find

So many binding ties

It brought out the best

Forced us to rise

We know we're blessed

School wide volksmarches

YS dances

We partied it up at Arches

We were crazy not afraid to take chances

At HMS we knew what it meant

To be true, to ride hard

How to truly represent

To stand tall and regard

Our times here as sacred

Knowing we can always come home

Not a moment wasted

Chillin in the Alamo

Eatin off the brotchen truck

PHV fests- keepin with the status quo

Raja's fries

Unrivaled, a true taste of home

Or downtown Ginos

Can you hear our cries

We run HD

Partied Thurs through Sunday

Krypton, the Downtown

Sandhausen Music Café

Our proms were fairy tales

Complete with the HD Castle

Anything less merely pales

Our memories dazzle

Weekend escapes

To Amsterdam

We'd traipse

Toke it up at 10 a gram

We loved our life

We grew up right

HHS Alumni

HD is callin

In October- Multiply

Come ballin

It's time to come home…

Shoutout to all…

To all you

Heidelberg Homegrown

Accept to Understand

In an ideal world

To Understand

Would be to Accept

We cannot demand

One assent

To every thought that is hurled

But we must command

Tolerance

Lets stop and step back

Disband

Allow our convictions to unfurl

Open our hearts

Assess fact from fiction

Lend emotion to diction

Speak with purpose and compassion

Rein in and ration

Judgment must remain absent

Stop trying to analyze

Expressive thought

We must maximize

Allow yourself to fantasize

Don't roll your eyes

And patronize

Get to the heart

Feel the love

Rise above

Stop, breathe and restart

Realize

What you're missing

Get nostalgic- start reminiscing

Remember me

We may not be blood

But we are family

Quiet your mind, give in and hug

Regardless of our differences

Multiple experiences

But in the end

What we lived

What we endured

Shaped us

And we've matured

Stop looking back

Lets not attack

Instead, retrack

Find me here

Find me now

We are who we are

Just let that be

So we can be complete

When Words Cease to Suffice

Words are my bricks, my stones
Syntax and grammar-
They lay the foundations of my soul
Their the source of my strength
My mortar and clay
The origin of all that matters
Marking my path; leading my way
When words cease to suffice
My supports buckle,
My world crashes into darkness and silence
My pillars tumble and crumble
Leaving me to grope and fumble
I am left lost and weak
In anger... I seek
To save face
To win
This self-defeating
Race
Against who...
Against you..
Or so I thought
Maybe not..
Again.. I find myself
Ut-ter-ly
Lost...
So when I lash out
Grabbing at threads
Don't give a fuck about
I'm jus trying to stay on top- to get ahead
I say this now
So that you understand
When words cease to suffice
I'm not shuttin down
Not tryin to shut you out
Baby, stay close
Becuz, I will never leave
I won't walk away
Give me a second chance
Please, baby...
Know that I'll stay
Know that I'll wait
For the day
When you're ready
Be sure its me
You reach for
Hold me close
Baby,
Lets explore
I'm still here
Stop pushing
Start pulling me near
I know that our actions
Have turned to mere
gestures
That each incessant infraction
Is met
With instinctive reactions
Rather than
The human interactions
That breathe
With the emotion
That lies dormant
Beneath
This facade of hate
This effervescence
Of indifference
That will inevitably proliferate
A bitter...
And lonely fate
So when i lash out
Grabbing at threads
Don't give a fuck about
I'm jus trying to stay on top- to get ahead
I say this now
So that you understand
When words cease to suffice
I'm not shuttin down
Not tryin to shut you out
Baby, stay close
Becuz, I will never leave
I won't walk away
Give me a second chance
Please, baby...
Know that I'll stay
Know that I'll wait
For the day
When you're ready
Be sure its me
You reach for
Hold me close
Baby,
Lets explore
When words cease to suffice
To suffer your silence
Cuts deeper than any violence
Truly, I prefer your rage
Want you to kick and fight
Anything- but this deafening quiet
Your cold shoulder-
An infuriating slight
Between us
A distance grows
Inflamed is the puss
Of lost lust and trust
But even still...
I will be here
Waiting for your heart...
To again endear
So when i lash out
Grabbing at threads
Don't give a fuck about
I'm jus trying to stay on top- to get ahead
I say this now
So that you understand
When words cease to suffice
I'm not shuttin down
Not tryin to shut you out
Baby, stay close
Becuz, I will never leave
I won't walk away
Give me a second chance
Please, baby...
Know that I'll stay
Know that I'll wait
For the day
When you're ready
Be sure its me
You reach for
Hold me close
Baby,
Lets explore
My heart will forever be yours
My love will only ever belong to you
You make my emotions soar
You are my oasis; the one I will always run to
You can push
But I will only push back
You can try to break me down
But I'll never give way
No matter how long,
When you finally reach out
I won't do you wrong
Because words may cease to suffice
But nothing will ever quiet
The truth that plays deep
In this melody of
Our
Very own
Love song...
