Speak Your Mind

She wanted to play, what was I supposed to say
I knew it was different but how could it not be okay
My whole life changed in a single day
Keeping a secret hidden and locked away
Could this affect my future
Is it not something that could be accepted
Why is it so hard to be something unexpected
Trust this is something I wish had never been affected
For I would like for my future to be unanamously elected

Next To You

I'm seriously deleriously happy that you try
I didn't want to tell anyone that kept wondering why
attacking isn't factual when all I have is this
The facts are in the statements when reasons go amiss
Trust is so essential that the world could never know
How heartfelt a reminder that our words could never show
I trust in time you'll know me to the fullest of extents
Til all my veins are dry and each and every word is spent
When I have long since passed and we are all a memory
Will we have much to show as part of hidden history
The world should still be greater than the one you entered in
Make your mark, be humble, help each other to begin
I'm pressing on regardless hoping there is understanding
Avoidance is a virtue for a task that's so demanding
So life must be continued if together or alone
We'll break a mold in every sense and set a loving tone
Remember this my closest of the world that I hold dear
There is always a reason for each breath we seldom hear

Show Me Where The Light Is

Thank you for the words and all of our gentle reminders
I couldn't be more grateful for your heart
Thank you for your kindness from the snow to winter's thaw
I'm so sorry that we all have grown apart
For all of this I know not much but all will learn in time
I have a thing or two to be completed
Each and every day that passes can become a burden
And yet I shall not ever be defeated
For when the show begins I must be seated

I'm Not Ready To Lay

The strings are cut, the douche is winning
All because of nonsense sinning
Drastic fantastical worthy concerns
As I did in fact say it the taper still burns
When life becomes something we all overlook
Thinking we'll toss out the page in a book
Wasting our time with the things mattered least
Knowing there's something we couldn't release
So blatently obvious can't be succeeding
In the minds eye he focuses holding and feeding
Unknown to him that the missions he's taking
Are merely a guise by a woman who's breaking
Not with a guide knowing I can't be heard
No way the one in the fray could be stirred
A singular voice from a decade ago
This is all that we'll accept for this show
Listen for once please and just understand
I'd rather lose all than be that kind of man
I will do what I know and I'll do what I can
Alas, can I not loose the past or just stand

Wrap You In Cold

The silver gone, what to do
It's been neglected and thrown to
The shine it decays, forgetting the gold
For these precious things hold no meaning so bold
To retrieve or receive a gift so hated
Not once a question and never debated
If all I can do is to walk with what's owned
What else does the world see when shown
I wish not for what you assumed
I'm so very sorry for time that you've moved

Gone Away

My only request is that you listen near
I must actually never make a settlement here
My goal is simple yet such a dream
But life will hold nothing if kept in this stream
I know you hold conference and state your own lies
Thinking you'll handle it while I slowly die
These things you think metaphors, while many are
Why would one as such be placed as a bar
Only because you cannot see mistakes
Does not give permission for more you should make

I Won't Forget To Find Them

Oodles of noodles delicious and slick
A tastier meal there is none
Untrue I suppose but not something so quick
Ramen nommin until there's no sun
Though I won't spend any more than I must
So much for all the nickles and dimes
For shame I say, none of that I trust
Finding a moment in the passing of time
And protein packed peanut spread too
No pennies at all in the cost of some tea
Toss in tortillas and now it's been glued
For life is worth living spontanuously

Starseed

Wouldn't I be so kind to let myself go
Something I could do before I had ever known
No I couldn't say yes or even take a chance
Perhaps it's not so bad to set it all down and dance
It's fear I know it is I don't know how to put this right
It's not a thing to worry about deep in darkest night
For that will be the greatest burden lifted now a cure
After there's a moment that had simply been unsure
I understand that fear is something all of us must face
Also surely something you can't do alone in place
