I have fallen and there is no getting up
I will go back from whence I came
Never to be seen or heard from again
The light that once was
Has finally burnt out
There is no hope
I have lived long enough
To see that this world holds nothing for me
Death and destruction are always around
Nothing left to keep me around
Lies and deceit are the games that are played
For someone like me
There is no reason to stay
I am depleted of hope, love, and strength
Soldiering on is no longer there
I have been fighting for something that just isn’t there
Life has me beat
With all the lies and deceit
There is no room for the person that I am
The last shred of hope I give to those who still fight
In the end we all have to die
As I sit in silence
There is no place to run
Laid out before me
Are the all the things
I have done
All the hurt and the pain
From the past until now
I washes over me
In waves
I hurt so many
With my childish games
And the words that I say
So I sit here in silence
Forgiving myself for everything
Hope and pray for
Those that I hurt along the way
Time to set it all free
Learn not to go back
To the old me.
I stand in the midst of a world in chaos
Doing what I can to not get caught in it
Being true to myself
Being who I am
Inspite of other's
I love deeply and completely
Trust without question
Only to get hurt
No matter the situation
So here I stand
Alone it would seem
With little patience in my pocket
Heart on my sleeve
Hopes and dreams in my mind
I stand in the wake of chaos
All around me
Searching for a way to break through
The world is falling apart around me
Uncertainty is what follows me
Hope gets lost in the shuffle
As doubrs run deep in my veins
Patience is lost
While positivve slightly glimmers
With each struggle
Comes a dose of strength
As I fight to get through
Yet another day
My friends are reminders
Of the possibilities
That have yet to come
Steadfast and true
Beacons of light
Through the dark days
My world is slowly
Being put back together
Adventures are what lay ahead
Nothing more can be said
I will take the path before me
Hope and pray against all odds
I find my niche in the world around me
Even though it seems to fall apart
Complicated
Not worth the time
So confused and broken
Give so much
Get nothing back
I am tired of
all the lies and hate
Time to move on
Get back on the right path
Where I know I am worth it
No matter how complicated
I seem to be
Not everyone will understand
Or stand by when things get tough
I will stand steady and stay strong
Your words are like smoke
lingering around me
as I try to breath
Your face changes like a mask
happy to sad
uncertain which one is real
There is no escape
from your grasp
a web is what you weave
I am caught and tangled
no breaking free
all I want is more
There is a simple song
I hear when I think of you
A song that brightens my day
Gives me strength
Makes me smile
I have moments
When my emotions run high
A thought enters my mind
A thought of you
I am calm and centered
Until I start thinking
about the person you are
not just the picture I see
You are more than your words
A voice I have never heard
A simple song enters my mind
I hope to share it with you
All in good time.
I have stood at the edge of a cliff
Fighting myself to keep control
Of these doubts and fears
Clinging to what is left of hope and love
The few things that keep me going
I wage a war against the pain
Not quite sure what will remain
A glimpse of light that I see
Are the smiles that my children show me
I keep everyone at arm's length
Afraid of all this rage
Do I fall or do I fight
Right now there is nothing but the night
One day at a time
Minute by minute
I shall see another day
Fight on through all the torment
Find my light that will make me stay
Don’t worry about me
It’s the way things have to be
No matter how things change
I know in my heart everything will be okay
Don’t worry baby
It’s the way things go
I can’t be sad
I never imagined
I would have a friend like you
I finally understand
Why things have to be this way
You are who you are
A rambling man
Your world it the stage
Music your life
Baby don’t worry about me
I will do just fine
I am stronger than I realize
Just don’t forget
Follow your dreams
Follow your heart
I am here for you always
2000 miles away
Happy to be
Happy to see
Happy to know
Happy to go
I am happy to be me
I am happy to thee
I am happy to know you all
I am happy to go away
Nothing is forever
Be happy with what you have
Don't look for what is not there
Or you will surely be mad
Life is full of ups and downs
Find friends that stand by you
I am grateful for every moment
I shall always cherish them all
