Intertwining PathsAs I searched for an escapeOut of a path of oldDestiny Stumbled Me Back Onto a new path of goldAs follow the yellow brickDown the spiraling wayThere are obstacles and peopleThat try to lead me astrayI see you right nowWhere the two roads entwined Smiling Mischievously Having a motive in mindYour presence intoxicates meYour hands making my body like fireMaking me want to lose controlAnd tempting hidden desireBut as I start to wake upI see your true selfIts not another manIts another copy of himselfI abandoned that dark timeLeaving the man I loved thereFor he hurt me greatly Filling my life with despairDon’t fill my head with nonsenseWith Pretty words and hopeThey are just as usefulAs being in a hole without rope.You did good for a whileHaving me go with your deceptionBut now that you have let slip your natureIt has given me a clear new perception.You can not own meThis wild horse will not be tamedAnd if you hate me for thisI walk high unashamedSo I walk past youOn this path of shineCan promise that not again Will our paths entwineSo with my pride kept safeUnder protection and knifeNow I’m ready to beginA fresh new start for my life

Grasping the Precious MomentsWhen a moment comesThat is beyond grandHold that moment closeFor it slips away like sand.A moment like thatWell, it is very rare…To capture that feelingThat takes more than prayerWhether it be an accomplishment An awareness or just an eventThat moment was meant for youIt was truly God-sentSo Hold on tightNever let it goFor that moment never stopsIt will continue to growInto a tree of special momentsThat bears the fruit of smilesThat will support you through anythingAnd help you face life’s trials.

Moving ForwardForget about the Past And all its sorrowPut it to restAnd rise for tomorrowLet the chains breakThat hold you downTo shatter the surfaceThat can drownExorcise the ghostsThat haunt your mindLet thoughts returnThat are always kindFill the empty cupYour soul has been leftFill it to the brimReplacing thoughts been theft.Smile with your heartBring sunshine in your soulSatisfy your freedomBecome completely whole
