Ive been through this Ive been through that My direction uncertain blind as a bat I took a path to me most certain To fight for right and lift the curtain The longer I stayed the more I lost Less motivation for more of the cost Still I was willing to give my all The more I climbed the more I'd fall Till finally I looked at that sweet dawn That perhaps instead of climbing I should spawn Maybe my life would be desirable Being myself then something couterfactual I still want the glory and the praise But that wont give me true appraise Being a man who is strong and true Means I wont need to redo Life is short Weeds are tall Questioning your plight Means you must fight Here I am with much joy This new path is no ploy Its me and my life Myself now, my future wife All I need a simple life A gun a dog a knife Rocking a chair on some land The more I think it is grand I dont want a nice car I wont need to go far For my life is in my possession My goal is progression

A New Path
When I am weak it is there It doesn’t judge me It gives me strength It’s a problem but it is mine Where are you when I need help Your not but it is That beer or that wine It never betrays me It lets me know who I am When others tell me who I should be It tells me who I am It causes problems but it is also solutions When I seek answers It is there It may be wrong It may be a sin But no one else can understand It makes me free Like nothing else can My lips and aspirations are boundless Who knew that all I seek Is in a bottle of poison So many have died So many have been born It is the solid string of life It is what it is It doesn’t lie This genie is God The voice of an alcoholic But in this world of lies It is true and doesn’t make false promises With the knowledge of its dead end So many still seek its knowledge Even though it has none to give It brings hate and love It precedes idiocy and brings wisdom It’s the answer and the problem But until I find something better I will dwell in the devils house I am not perfect nor am I good that’s why I defect to ungodliness I know it is wrong I know it is sin Still I seek it It is strong and yet it is weak Its strength comes from weakness Knowing this doesn’t change its hold on me What does is love and God the true God Sometimes I don’t see it Sometimes I don’t realize it But those around me do Friends and family help me through it When they aren’t there I fall back I seek that poison I want that sin Why because im free with it When the world goes to hell I turn to hell for release It doesn’t change who I am It brings it out in both good and bad Afterwards im both happy and sad The last of my world is in that last drop My birth is in that first sip Whiskey brings me to act *** makes me to laugh ***** helps me relax And beer helps me to be loose Its all bad yet I cannot cease This is the ballad of an alcoholic Let none of you judge For you are alcoholics in your own way You find your vice and lie We have found ours its just more acceptable Lord help me with this for I know it is wrong Only you can guide me Until then cheers for I love you more than This poison that stands between us Help me lord cause only you can Only the strength of the father son and ghost Can fix this mortal fixation I know your there So help me before I do something That might make my service to you in question Before I sought freedom Now I seek servitude to you I have been selfish Now I seek sacrifice I love you and all others but you are HIM Help me in my hours of need I know you will I am meant for greater than Jim beam I am meant for more than Johnny walker As of now I cannot do it alone But you are there And I will pull through Thank you and God bless

As he walked down the street A voice whispered in his ear Taunting and teasing him Belittling and screaming First in growls Then in howls He ignored with all his power But the voice would not relent He instructs more forceful now Break that commandment Do that sin You will feel better You wont get in trouble Still he stayed true At home the voice came with vigor Drink that potion Sip that poison His mettle began to weaken The voice came now with new momentum He felt himself weakening even more He was about to give in He looked about to see what sin to commit Ideas came in droves Destroy that ****** this Then just out of view A book came to focus He picked it up Read its word The voice ceased His thoughts calmed His strength returned He relaxed and kept reading And to know surprise Gods word was his saving grace

the book
I tried I tried my hardest but to no avail And yet every fiber that is me refuses to fail What has happened to is beyond my control It is written on every inch of my soul My promises still ring true All will always try to get you Regardless of whether I should I will always try as hard as I could It cannot stop you’ve stained my spirit No matter what I do I cannot **** it I hate I despise I and loath what I have become And I don’t know where I am gone or from Lost in a world that is hollow No good example to follow I am embarking on my own trail Like anything else it’s a new tale On my own I want no advice From man woman or mice This is me defiant to the end With no worries luck or friend Bring it on I say to this life I can take it all pain sorrow and strife You want it you got it cause here I go Nothing and no one can tell me no I am done with others expectations I’m finished with all lies and hesitations Here I am back to my desire My soul is back and on fire Your done and I want nothing And my pain has stopped its sting Here I am take it or leave it For you and I are not a fit I realize I will never be good enough for you But you were never really good enough for me too So have a good life I wish you the best

I tried
The other night I had a dream that was too real not to be seen Sitting on a bus mine heart felt a rush A head gathered on my chest resting and relieving all your stress Looking down my heart was warmed a feeling lost but now reformed My arm draped around your head all your ill emotions have since fled The single thing I have ever desired is for your angst to be retired It looks now that it has succeeded my love for you has superseded Your head sits such at peace my body acting as an armored fleece My soul mission is your serenity your protector is my identity My dream is so perfect I let it be leaning back not questioning my harmony Your with me once again I finish my prayer and say amen As I wake I am confused my situation I am bemused Anger overcomes my still determination becomes my will I will have my dream again regardless the stakes your head will rest no matter what it takes At the wall I can only stare twas no dream it was a nightmare

nightmare
Angels above fly high above Looking down with endless love They see our pain and strife Helping us throughout our life When darkest days our to be seen On angels wings are where to lean Many times we forget Our faith becomes broken and split Yet still they watch and hold us right Never letting us relent in our fight When we are weak they make us strong When were low they sing their song We stumble we falter and sometimes fall But just they’re presence can heal all With sorrow agony and defeat They’re voice we hear soft and sweet So never forget when you are low To look up and see their glow

A man and his brother set on a task An undertaking attempted many times by others To no avail nothing and no one could succeed But their vision was to them possible It seemed that this feat was not meant to be The world told them to quit If God wanted it to be he would have giving you the tools Yet they were undeterred in this goal They toiled and worked They slaved and sweated Failed many times in their task But together they crawled toward their aim One day they finally did it They climbed aboard their creation And started a new era in the modern world Finally these brothers did the impossible Their names were Wilbur and orville wright Stubbornness is perhaps the greatest gift God has given man Those who have it are mocked and berated by their clan Undeterred they continue toward their mission Never swayed by words blinded by their ambition When the dust settles everyone sees The answer to success is this disease More things have been done By unrelenting men seeking the long run Stubbornness may in fact be wrong Alas anyone can see this burden is carried only by the strong

I sit alone in this room Atmosphere dark and gloom I close my eyes I ponder Mind begins to wonder I find myself in the woods Alone with natures goods The sun is high and stunning A nearby rivers water running Birds singing and deer prancing Leaves dashing and shadows dancing A peace becomes all I am I am one with all of them At home in this splendor My soul becomes soft and tender My troubles are now receded Gods will I have conceded My desires have no merit For only the weak shall inherit Perhaps alone now I must be Whether or not I wish to agree Mine own hand has put me here Weakness made my honor disappear This place plentiful and brilliant Like nature I must be resilient For now I will take it in And realize how beautiful it has been Perhaps one day I will be in perpetual peace And maybe my pain will cease What has brought me here What has made myself disappear In the end it only took one Someone whos beauty I could not out run All my life love was secondary An emotion so powerful it was scary I ignored I refused For with that my heart could not be bruised Through all of life tests for me Conquered them all I still could not see I have been challenged by the best Still I did not fall as anyone can attest Stood strong through all contests And yet all feelings I suppress Regardless of the cost Myself was still not loss This place teaches so much A divinity I cannot touch I’ve never had to come here before But since you I cant ignore Through everything I have beaten All I’ve over come save for this demon You’re the one I cannot shake The one sensation I cannot fake The one thing I did right I cannot vanish into the night Bravo you have done what nothing else could If I could take it from my memory I would But alas I am broken With no words to be spoken My iron clad façade You put in front a firing squad Always on guard My soul now scarred In the end it only took one To make me completely undone

Four men born Different and the same Never meeting each other Some wild some tame One man the gift of gab Another a musical sensation The third given athletics The last given determination The first spoke beautifully A voice like no others Coasting through life Doing nothing for his brothers He grew like a **** Top of all deeds First wave of trouble He surrenders and recedes His possibilities are few His lack of drive decided The few feats he made For his fears abided The second a musical genius His harmony was perfection No sound he couldn’t master His favorite the brass section As easy as greeting the day He played the greatest sound Everyone enjoyed his gift How his ability did astound Alas one day he lost a duel Harder he did not work He lost time and again So his talent he did shirk Never again did he play For what was the use Too difficult the work No lack of an excuse Now he works in a box His tasks painless Never rising from ordinary His record stainless The third man a muscular marvel Body carved from steel Strong as an ox His form ideal In any arena He would be winner No blemishes on the outside Not true of the inner For one day he met his match And apart did he fall Refusing to get up He decided to crawl Please they all beg But his pride was hurt I quit his reply He declined to convert What a man he could have been Had he only tried harder Alas he did not He’d rather be a martyr The last man had nothing unique Seemingly nothing great Life just like the others Without any special trait He failed many times But kept on trying Fell many times Yet remained undying One day it was unbearable Life gave its worst Stumbled he did Feeling cursed He fought it through To the very end Trouble battled back His will did not bend During it all he kept going No talent to grasp Never did he stop Until he did gasp Later in life He looked about His trials were over And he had clout Because of his tests He excelled and overcame He had no regrets He had no shame Many tests taught him well Countless hardships made him tall Finally his gift discovered To always rise when you fall

He sees it all Life death devil and God The entire cosmos fills his mind His vision becomes broad No regrets cross his thoughts He has done his mission A glorious death With no submission It was ordain at his birth His greatest gift was given Greater than any other His destiny written Ahead he see the gates Shining in all grandeur Guarded by creations best Then comes a force majeure A face comes to him A complete offender Judging and wounding He is the pretender Unsure of what to do he fights Alone as always he battles But time is different The universe rattles A light shines A voice bellows The pretender cowers The noise echoes The great liar recedes Let not your spirit sway The voice commands I’ve been with you the whole way
