American I hope to take that road less traveled by, because as Mr. Frost was so kind to remind us, that will make all the difference.
I crumpled to my knees under your watchful eyes i felt as though i could go no longer but you made me I knew not why, and i complained You picked me up when i was weakest you kept pushing me you kept making me go and for what reason? at the end of the road i stood where i had always wanted to and i looked at you because i know it was due to you

The Mentor
In the middle you stood as the world crumbled around you you cared not what happened for you were on top you looked down and spat upon us and we looked up and loathed you you knew not what you made us but we knew what we had made you we had made you our leader we had followed you and you repaid us with this we could do nothing so you rose, and we fell but in the end that would not matter in the end what would matter was who stood on the right side

Where you stand
The horse stood upon the hillside the grass blew in ripples the man upon the horse took in a deep breath then he rode down his spurs digging deep the thunderous noise engulfed the valley and down road the man unto certain death but it was not in vain he rode for as his men saw him go they were filled with bravery and they followed without fear unto death, but not that mattered for they would go down in history as the greatest men to ever die

The last charge
The waves lick up against the rock The wind rustles through my hair I squint my eyes against the salt I can see the far off land mass and i know that I it will be hell to get there but i swear to myself that I will do it Because i took an oath that i was to let nothing stand in my way and i intend to honor that

The Oath
The blood drips down my face it pools at my feet I look up into his eyes I expect hate What I see takes my breath I see desperation I see a person, fighting for what i am I see a man Fighting to get home to those he loves And i know I can not blame him for his evil

Looking on the otherside
I looked at you I made that joke just for an excuse to talk to you you laughed and i felt better then i had ever felt before so now I look into your eyes and i can think of nothing else but you

Lost in the sea
If you sit up late at night and perk your ears you may hear a sound coming from outside A tap on the window high pitched and pleading poke your head out and you'll see me standing there, pebbles in hands I'll call for you, and down will you come and together, off we'll run

A cliched romance
As the sunlight washes in Upon the yellow wall all is bright, fine, and good until the night sets in then the people come out the ugly in them they look around, suspicious of me i give them no reason to be yet they are, even without basis I can do nothing but laugh so laugh i must or where is the light?

Passing from the night
without the mistakes that others have made we would not be who we are we would have to experience it all for ourselves and how could we expect to survive that? we take what they have taught and we apply it to what we will learn we hope that this is how it is meant to be yet, i have on question; how can we know for sure?

Learning
they used to say that it would all end that i would never get my chance I wanted to tell them that i would but upon what basis would i say so? now I feel as though i have gotten my chance I have fulfilled what I was meant to do I have no wish to perish, yet if I do it shall be without regret in my heart
