Alone
I lay here in the dark. Loneliness deep within my heart. I’ve tried to make it through the day. I’ve tried to laugh and play. No matter what I do, I have to be just fine. I cannot make a sound, I cannot speak my mind. I have bills to pay. Things to do. Responsibilities Continue reading

Drift away
Close your eyes and drift away, unto the places where the stars play. All the darkness is held at bay, in the high places for the day. Fly up high among the stars, see them come so very far. Watch them go on their journey, wishing one could tag along. Skate along the milky way, Continue reading

Lost freedom
On this day we joyfully play. We laugh, we sing, we shout hooray. But the way we do thing in this time, the ones who gave us freedom, would see a crime. They fought against unfair the unfair things. Said we need not listen to kings. They bravely sought to fly with eagles wings. No Continue reading

Tired
I’m tired of the daily struggle the way, the way life tries to burst my bubble. That I feel all these things, my trying torment brings. Of promises made yet broken quickly, of the truths I’ve shared, and how little others cared. As they spread my secrets far and wide. Leaving nowhere for me to Continue reading

Night Terror
In the night the terror comes, eater of dreams, bringer of pain. What will happen when it comes for you? Will it make your nightmares true? One cannot sleep, cannot dream. Not until this beast takes its leave. All you feel all through the night, is mighty terror, unending plight. All-consuming fright To stay awake Continue reading

Free
Like the birds up in the air, I wish to live without a care. Like the clouds in the sky, I want to fly so very high. Away from all the pain and woe, far above earth ill go. Touch stars up in the sky, for on the ground it’s far too much. Things are Continue reading

Let Me Be
It does not matter what you call it my friend. It’s become a problem here in the end. Is supposed to be a place built on freedom of expression. Yet often we find ourselves under oppression. You push your beliefs at everyone else. Try to force them to your line of thinking, how is that Continue reading

Despair
All it takes is one single thought. It can shatter all the peace you really bought. A single word, a single phrase, can put one into such a haze. Full of darkness and despair. Anytime and anywhere. I thought I was over the things from my past. But the horrors caught up so very fast. Continue reading

Apology
Sometimes the right words, are the ones you never say. Sometimes the things you want simply fade away. Other times we miss a moment when we should say what’s on out minds. But our thoughts are jumbled, our pride on the line. The easiest things are often the hardest. To admit we were wrong, is Continue reading

Rat Race
Every morning I wake with a groan. Sometimes creaking sometimes shuddering, always a moan. I spring from my bed, and dress in haste. For I know I can’t be late. Rush out the door, start the car. I have to travel so very far. Chasing the money, the daily grind. It takes a tole on Continue reading
