Grant me wings so I may fly, Weightless floating, high in the sky, Above the ignorance of other people, No one understands that we're all equal. Born on this planet earth, Set in stone at the moment of birth, People need to realize, All our truths succumbed to lies, Dreams of soaring aside eagles, Just to wake on a bed of needles. Freedom comes with a price, Over time, became twice, and thrice. Sleeping comfort on a cloud, Problems of the earth endowed, Upon your shoulders, wrapped with burden, Atlas shrugged and no one heard him. If there's anything I've learned in life, Love your neighbor, love your wife, Love your family, pray for good health, Fear no evil , for you have wealth, Wealth of mind , body , and spirit, Use these tools, possibilities, infinite.

Possibilities Infinite
Quiet laughter, loud refrain, Broken smiles, complete disdain, Empty souls and growing debt, Abundant pain, beguiled threat, Broken promises, elected czar. The world once known, lost afar, What little left being crushed to dust, Like the pages of an ancient text, John Goodfellow left with no one to trust, Constant fear of what comes next. Common folks like you and me, Must come together, two by three. Standing up for what is right, Don't go down without a fight. All of us, hand in hand, Could save that for which we stand.

United
Tired of this shameful being, Thoughts of joy now turned to bleeding, Thoughts were once so pure and free, Now they work to imprison me. Mental prison's are much the worst, Feelings pressured, soon to burst. Bridges burned, friends reduced, Visions blurred, pain deduced. Problems absolved, plans created, Leave this place, shadows faded. Time will keep on going on, With or without, soon I'm gone, Gone to live with nature's being, Alone in peace , I'll die believing, This had to be done, cant stand the state, Of all this world, mine will be great, No matter what I have to do, Soon Mrs. Earth , I'll be with you.

Gone
Thoughts echo, mental void, Deep, dark, empty void, ****** it here, ****** it there, ****** it up, ****** it up. Demons come and demons go, Demons live and demons sow, Demons die , demons lie, Demons cloud demons pry. Sober thoughts, drunken words, Red skies , infernal birds. In the dark , there lives a man, Alone and cold, there lives a man, There he sits a simple man, Soul abandoned , a lonesome man, He wants to die, deaths a thought, Whats the point , just a thought, Angels cry, and demons hiss, Living life, voided bliss, Life will come and life will go, A dark man comes here, to and fro, Prys his eyes and ****** his brain, Slowly still he goes insane, In the dark there lives a man, Trying to do the best he can, Dieing is just a simple plan, Will he try? he can he can, At what cost, does life come too, Red white black and blue, No one but himself to blame, No one but himself to shame. There a man, still a boy, Yearning for his ode to joy.

There lives a man
You ask me why do I act this way, Well then tell me how to act, I don't give a **** what they say, Life's always under attack, You'll never understand who I am, Our paths do not intersect, The hour glass running out of sand, We're out of time to reflect, You've made your choice and I've made my own, There's no more time for regrets, I hope someday that you make it home, Just know that I won't forget , Stop intersecting your life with mine, Move on and learn to accept, You chose the life that you have that's fine, I guess I was to inept, Someday soon I will understand, Life in all it's respect. Chocolate box in my hour hand, Don't know what to expect.

Don't Bother
Nine months of darkness, Snow on the ground, No leaves on the trees, No warmth around. As the winter comes to a close, Lakes and rivers still seem froze, Soon the waters will break free, Moving life far as eyes can see, And now its time to have some fun, Playing under the Alaskan sun. Rivers are running , bears now conscious, Birds a flutter, fish obnoxious, Breathing in the summer air, Floating down the river bare, Baggie of green, cooler filled supreme, Almost as if, it were all a dream. When I look back, old and grey, I'll remember the nights and days, When we found euphoria under the Alaskan sun.

Under the Alaskan Sun
All the days go by the same, No one but my self to blame, Can't find a reason for my shame, I need that someone to ignite my flame, That someone will be mine, Eventually, in due time, That natural beauty in her eye , Could brighten any dark night sky, That light blue aura, could make angels cry, If you leave then I would die, On the inside, I wont lie. All I want to do is be, With you happy, for eternity.

Happy for eternity.
Standing on the frozen water, underneath the turquoise plain, Temperature not getting hotter, chills set in and ease the pain. Problems of your prior self, discarded at the price of health. Peoples problems of today, vain and solemn, so cliche. Imagine a desolate waste, bone chilling cold like that of space, You're all alone, you have no place to call home, You've got no phone, to call for a ride, There's no one to call, there's no one to drive. Buildings unheated , feeling defeated. This is where humanity lies, struggling hard to survive, Battling nature to stay alive, learning how to surely thrive. Judged not by wealth, looks, or popularity, But by hard work, devotion, and charity. One day soon we will return,to the beginning when the skies were burned. I pray for all that we'll realize, were all the same, what a surprise.

Surprise
One August morning, waiting for those birthday presents, Then with no warning, down stairs came my parents, And with them came a special surprise, Our family was ending , due to lies. Divorce was the word of choice, Pain in my fathers voice , Too young to understand, Why this was being planned, Ever since this **** event, My family has grown more distant. Soon after mom was gone, My eldest sis embarked upon, A journey of her own. My other sis went with mom, All alone with dad .com, Stayed with him a couple of years, Soon followed the steps of my family peers, I feel bad for leaving, Left my father , alone and grieving, Why should I be the one to stay, When it comes down to it, were all grey, One day maybe we, Can once again be family.

One August Morning
The sun will rise, and the sun will set, Everyday, the older you get, Daily lessons , taught yourself, Experience gained, set atop a shelf. Mental problems thought to be, A silent solemn catastrophe. I heard wisdom comes with age, I see different , turn the page, Wisdom seems to come with trials, Placed in front, stretched out for miles, Some will make and some will break, Lessons out there for the take, Failing and falling down, Just remember not to frown, Get back up a little wiser, Throw the gas on the fire, Ignite the flame that is your brain, Live your life it's open bar, Just don't forget who you are.
