26/M/Michigan Expressing things I can’t say out loud, on paper so that it can say it for me.
Only when I’ve forgotten where I’ve gone I know how to get to where I’m going The past lit by mistakes and sorrows But the morning speaks of new tomorrows Coated In a dew of a new beginning Clean cold wind, filling my every waking breath While walking in the clear sky’s morning No warning or alert toward harm or death Or threat of loosing it all again A single kiss on my smiling cheek is the only thing of worth In this rebirth of the happy mans story

Happy Mans Story
Take in the moments that make you smile remember them for awhile, because the moments that make you cry are right around the bend, they’re enevitable in the end

Cherish the moments
Verse Is there a reason for this season Lord give me a sign I need your voice While I’m feeling Hopeless to survive Prechorus You who always saves The one who almost got away Made a way for me to start over again Chorus What looks like stealing is you giving What looks like breaking is you healing What hurts your heart teach it to mine I’ll find my shelter in you this time Bridge Your the author of it all when nothing makes sense Prince of peace to hopeless Running to my defense

I’m so jealous of your ring Everytime the crowds arms go up as I sing I see those diamonds glisten in the stage lights I had one to show off too Still I rub the tan less spot with my thumb As I’m trying to entertain you all I’m just falling Calling out for help, for somebody to love again Elated faces glowing through the smoke The couples arms in praise together For what will hopefully be forever These are some of my thoughts as I sing While looking at another Queen and her King

Jealous Jewelry
Sleep why arnt you my friend? Why can’t we get along? Nights without you make my days so long. I’ve been seeing you less and less When I should be seeing you more Three hours a day is not enough Give me at least four I’m just so tired of not being tired anymore

Dear: Sleep
To explain art I have to start somewhere A space to right what I was wrong about A place to think the answers I want to know To search out and find where my heart hides Where my song resides A hole existence With a void Or a whole life full of joy I write to hear my pains, and see your smiles to explain what I can't speak aloud during the miles Traveled in this life Boots worn down to broken souls Souls worked into accomplished life goals The tolls that made this face happy Were paid in blood sweat and tears

To wrap up my year with Christmas cheer sounds like Hell. And you can take my word for it too I know what Hell is like now I’m no grinch, I mean carols starting after thanksgiving is interesting but I’ve always felt that way. This year the holiday is bleak, and grey The spark that was there is gone Tainted traditions, filled with great memories There just memories that arnt coming back Our bed beside the ping pong table in the basement that grandpa fashioned from random wood to make a frame. Finally made into a bed....... but no way will I rest my head there anymore. I’ll stay away instead I want my peace back I want my heart back

Hell-o Christmas
Will there be a night with no crying? I’m trying to hear the meaning of this all But every time I’m close to the end The beginning starts over again Winding roads of questioned intention Leading me away from any safe place Daybreak to sundown I wander Looking for truth But even truth is longing for an answer To the definition of this all EXPLAIN YOURSELF! What use is this now What good comes from more rubble You’ve tried me in fire, you’ve taken my heart And I haven’t left your side I’ll still abide through the trouble Just make it stop! Let me sleep! Let me rest! I have given this my best Yet still the test continues

Pencils Down
The hurt, hurt people I know thats true It’s just sitting in your car with you Seeing confusion, and being cut in two halves One half “in” conflict, the other “sane” I obtain some hope from hearing you differ Between what’s right, and what’s quicker Leaning in with tears Not always remembering our years together Thinking we can be friends still after eight?! How can I relate to someone like you now..... But continually more love I feel somehow For the wife who ran away Snuggling up to the next guy on the way To finding her self out

The hurt, hurt
My heart is bound tightly in knots made of razors No bows or bunny ears to make this bond easier to untie Pain confined to a pit in my stomach, and a hole in my soul To painful to keep, and to painful to let go So I sit in the middle plateau The "how are you's?" Answered behind a crooked smile of "i'm fine, how about you?" I look better, I seem happier, I seem healed But these cuts were closed with ugly scars to bare
