Down about
being worn out -
not much to be
happy about...
Another day
to drizzle away -
I hang my head
and quietly pray...
That this will end
very soon -
there is no hope
nor is no room...
Nothing matters
nothing is alive -
the world is gone
and all has died.
Raggedy doors
concrete floors -
blood drips down...
Dilated
then stimulated -
no one is around...
running through
is nothing new -
as I race towards the sign...
that let me know
where to go -
and find this life of mine.
Sending it
quietly -
I wish I had
you with me...
You are so
far away -
I miss you
and yesterday...
The dance
was so surreal -
I never knew
I could feel...
I still don't
even know -
why it all
had to go.
Welled up
from the inside -
no need to try
no need to hide...
Just floating
passing it by -
no need to think
no need to cry...
It's always been
this messed up way -
since that time
and long ago day...
What I'd give
to actually know -
why I ever even
said hello.
He drove country roads
with a big wide smile -
in a pick up truck
for mile after mile...
with his loving wife
right by his side -
they always enjoyed
a nice country drive...
He lived his life
as a Godly man -
as a loving husband
and a football fan...
He always had a joke
and a silly grin -
he was a happy dad
and a faithful friend...
He strummed guitar
to John Denver songs -
while those around
would laugh and sing along...
He wore a cowboy hat
with jeans and boots -
he knew how to survive
he knew how to shoot...
He loved his mom
and the Lord above -
he was an example
of strength and love..
Though it is hard
and broke hearts into -
there was nothing left
anyone could do...
wanting to go home
was his dying wish -
so we bid farewell
to his heavenly bliss.
Until we meet again...

Oh dear Lord
another day -
has come along
and I must say...
I thank you Lord
as you give -
hope and strength
in this life we live...
Until that day
I'm at your feet -
and in your glory
I will weep...
As for now
I will push through -
my dear Lord
I believe in you!
It's quiet -
my thoughts are
loud...
Sometimes -
I am alone in a
crowd...
Living life -
is usually lived
best...
When you are -
no longer concerned
with the rest...
Because really -
think it all
through...
Who in the hell -
is concerned with
you.
I'm happy
doing what I want -
I don't need to be
the thirsty debutant...
I'm free
doing what I love
I have risen
so far above...
The wannabee's
it's not where it's at -
I can be thankful
I didn't buy into that...
All those behind
are dust in my wake -
I have no time for diamonds
that are fake.
Why am I always
too nice...
Apple spice -
While paying
the high price...
of dealing with
quite insane...
Same mundane -
I won't even
say their name...
Jealous fools -
with stupid rules
past uncool...
See ya!
I so enjoyed
the sand and sea -
where I know
I need to be...
Coming home
is bitter sweet -
one day I will
live on the street...
that leads to a
sunny shore seabed -
seagulls and palm trees
overhead...
Where music comes
from barefoot men -
where smiles light up
from within...
I've always known
since my first time -
I need to finally
make it mine!
Will I
or won't I -
as these
days go by...
Why worry
what's true -
when there's nothing
you can do...
Maybe space
and time -
will relax
these nerves of mine.
I have regrets
oh yes, a few -
I have things
I should do...
I have thoughts
I wish would leave -
I have beliefs
I can't believe...
Yet here I am
until I'm dead -
while in this life
I move ahead...
No matter who
is by my side -
I will live
while I'm alive...
Don't let the tears
ruin your day -
and please leave
when you can't stay.
It comes once a week
not needed and used...
It's loud and not pretty
tossed out and abused...
It's looked down upon
thrown out with the rest...
It's pushed away rudely
not considered the best...
It's taken for granted
no care if it's gone...
and so it goes freely
when it's time to move on.
The day the parade
went away...
It never existed
back in the day...
It was a fragment
of the mind...
That faded and
disappeared over time...
There were never
any funny clowns...
Just hidden illusions
to let you down...
Pretend it's all
been one bad dream...
Things are really never
as they seem.
Sitting and
just looking out -
dealing with
inner self doubt...
Will there be
a brighter day -
when the storms
all go away...
Stuck in
the same routine -
that doesn't even
mean a thing...
I wonder where
this will lead -
and when the chains
will all be freed.
Don't let
it stop you -
do what you
need to do...
Keep on going
for the win -
accidents will
happen again...
Laugh it off
heal your wound -
work will pay off
really soon...
Hold your head
cure yourself -
you are your
only help.
