Hey There, So I just read your long awaited for self Reserve that we all hold ourselves to.   I mean this in the most sincere way, Congratulations.   You are right in more ways than one, But I hope that you see that it all blurs Together under the sun. I know how hard it is, Suicidal thoughts aren't fun.   I've lived through too many of them myself But it's only when you decide to Take your life off the shelf Begin to bend in it's ways You gaze in a daze Because out of this moment infinity stays And from me to you right now You're the one that I praise And I thank you for the reason To see it past the rainy season So I have to say thanks For making a stink It really got me to think On behalf of those upon the brink Who don't want to see a shrink See through my eyes Then only realize You've only got to blink.

Hey There
It's hard to believe it's been a year You're gone but I still feel that you're near Sometimes I delusionally still think you might just appear The water begins to build up and form a tear But I don't want the sadness released into the atmosphere Great is the only way you could be All the good that you showed me Opened my eyes so that I could see The depth and vastness of life and love I remember sitting in church Like a bird on a branch of birch The power and depth in your voice Told me that life is a gift, that we have a choice And it's better to chose to live a life of rejoice It's sad but it's true The world isn't the same without you And that's something I'll never get used to But you gave me the courage to pursue and pull through You gave insights that led me to a new world view You will stay with me forever, just like a tatoo This is only a small part of the story Of a great man who rests in his glory

One Year
I needed to pull myself out of a dark place I decided that my thoughts would be my ace Close my eyes and I only hear saving grace Keep going, I can feel you want to quit Forget the past and remember the torch is already lit Don't be divided by the seven ten split Just be mindful of the one you decide to hit The choice is yours Life is exciting or it bores At times it whispers At times it roars At times it's an eagle and it soars I come down to land And think it's grand To see my world in my hand Yet slightly out of grasp When things go wrong I no longer gasp I'll stop and say Hey I'll look for a better day

Better Days
I feel like I'm walking on a cloud Nothing else matters, I keep silent and move on Day dreams and vivid visions Suddenly disappear from forthcoming decisions And with a crack reality instantly snaps back I make up my mind Saying to myself am I half blind Then I disappear again Off in my own head Thinking about what should have been said I realize it's not a debt So I allow myself to forget I feel like I'm walking across hot coals That those that get ahead do so by trampling over souls Contempt for those who got there without putting in the work The question drives me berzerk Social implications keep mounting my frustrations I don't follow the pack and foster my own creations Completely alone I feel like a king upon a thrown that isn't his own Without a care I stop and stare Only to realize that there's nothing there Oh Sorry It was just another dream

Dream Walking
I have a guardian angel Through the chaos it guides me It's a brave child saving a cat stranded in a tree I climb to these heights Then it helps me safetly land from the flights Occasionally I make stupid decisions But it rescues me with amazing improvisions It just watches It doesn't pry It just knows Like the all seeing eye In trouble time and time again It's always there It's a life long friend I hope I get to thank you when my life comes to an end

A box sits on the roadside Ordinary looking, but another world on the inside Don't judge a box by it's looks Just as you shouldn't do with books How vast the contents held within To let them go to waste would be a sin But I don't take them, I leave them for others How astounding the world when black and white suddenly turns to colors Wouldn't it be cool if they went to a school Inspire minds of all kinds Showing how kowledge can be a tool And so much more From history, math, to adventures of all kinds on a shore It enlivens me so much I guess I'll think about it once more

Deeper into the rabbit hole I go Listen to the babble, It tells more than you know A story, a fable, a majestic broadway show I'm spiraling I'm awake Cracking the ground around me like an earth quake You feel it in your toes You can smell it in your nose All of a sudden time gradually slows Until the moment has become completely froze You sit there and ponder How did my thoughts wander In this moment here There's absolutely nothing to fear I haven't quite figured out Is there a method to my madness Or a madness to my method? The movement is fluid All knowing like a druid With Ayn Rand in my hand I feel the power to withstand the unplanned I let go of the demand And sink into the sand Onward I go In hopes to find the end Always saying just one more bend Yet deeper I still go into the hole Then I think Maybe I'm not following a rabbit Maybe it's a mole

Deeper Into The Rabbit Hole
half toothless and half truthless his stubborness can be ruthless living half a century ago not up to date with what we currently know he move's so slow you wonder if he's ever passed go calls current truths propaganda he look's for knowledge in outdated memoranda living in the past because modern days are too fast a young fellow shouldn't listen unless he wants to end up in last but he still has some soundness what he says is sometimes the profoundest he can make you think twice and doesn't care if it isn't nice but he'll still show compassion in his outdated fasion long lost was his life filled with passion the young and the old will continue to clash but it's up to the youth to not act rash because at one point that old man was like you so decisive that his convictions were absolutely true wouldn't the world be perfect if we both only knew

Old Man
and I try to let go cuz whether you want it to or not the river's going to flow I can't stray but I can't stay like a car crash you hate to see the wreck but can't look away but you know what they say you're always safest in the bay but we aren't made to live that way I write in the night the only light from a candle burning unconcerned with the earning art is my heart's yearning imperfectly flawless like a saint living lawless picture perfectly incomplete out of time but in sync with the beat tired while your resting in a seat a walking contradiction like truth mixed with fiction living with class saying kiss my *** lay it down like a pick up line disgustingly unattractive yet oh so fine yet still glad that these contradiction's aren't only just mine

Difference Acceptance
the simplicity of life the chills tell me it's right a mindful match of chess happiness for a game and forgetting the stress it's well read like a book a knight captures a rook a pawn takes its time just as the king like muhammad ali doing battle in the ring complete madness or militant winners and losers are imminent at the end it's all glory and fame and all along it was all just just a game
