Looking up at the sky. Listening to seagulls flying by. Feel the sand beneath your feet. Let yourself relax Fall into sleep. Smell the ocean Beautiful and infinite. Wishful dreams of swimming in it Taste the rays of a sun gone by as you lie there no longer alive.

Final Moments
You doubted me you laughed at me claimed that I never could be A man of worth A man of values someone who would amount to anything But I'll prove you wrong I will get along I will be a man worthy of song Creepy and weird that's all I ever hear I smile at you through the insults acknowledging you as a human being For you could never understand the depths of my being The love and affection for the world My niceties being taken as hostilities Being taken as perversions of what they really are So I smile and laugh, day by day never letting my true self see the light of day for no one could understand what it means to me to be a man

On the Spectrum
Wandering the streets, the road which none meets the moon my light my feet guiding me through the night The stars are my guide as i am along for the ride the ride that is life pushing through the madness coming out, achieving happiness As you near the end you'll know that just around the bend where your anger dissipates you will be free to assimilate the happiness around you that the stars have guided you to

Wanderer
He crawls, he falls, then crawls again Only with purpose can he truly begin. He struggles to kneel, struggle to feel The beauty of life, but under life's heel. He struggles to stand, foot and knee planted on land He strains against the weight, he begins to understand. He pushes against life's heel, pushing and pushing, daring to feel He rises to his feet, overcoming life's hollow heel. He opens his eyes, taking in the deep blue sky He straightens his body, not yet trusting his eyes He takes a deep breath, and lets out a sigh. His eyes did not lie, he laughed and he cried For he was finally free, and his heart swelled with pride. He set out that night, guided by a full moons light For nothing could stop him, he found his purpose in life.

The Struggle For Purpose
Ive stuck by your side for over a year Helping you through the places of your fears I cared for you and took you under my wing hoping beyond hope that you find the will to sing Finally the time has come you opened your wings, the song has begun you fill the air with your beautiful voice everyone around listens with rejoice but now its time for you to leave the nest Ill always love you, but its for the best. I hope one day you'll have realized my part In the act of saving you're heart. As your life goes on, and i fade from your memory you'll look back one day and wonder who it was that saved you from misery.

leaving the nest
Squank where did you go I'm right here jesskimo Where did we go No one shall ever know We run down the street with our hands up high We don't care we just want to fly Don"t think about it for too long All we want is to get along

Friendship 2.0
She is a mystery Someone with a shrouded history Someone who I've never really known But someone I know i can call my own She is a beacon of light When I am alone at night Someone I can talk to When I have nowhere else to go She is someone who doesn't criticize But someone who has kindness in her eyes When she talks happiness swells Deep inside my hollow shell She is the one who never sinks low She is the one I've never known

The One I've Never Known
Nightmares Night scares Make me more aware In the dead of night When my soul is full of fright Tell me why my face is white Whats that noise? A bell tolling Could it be for me Now I'm falling Into the dark Will I hit? Wake up with a start Breath is quick Eyes start to dart Thank god its just a dream That's when I start to scream For the dream is a reality And it is never what it seems

Nightmares
In the end When all is said and done You will remember What it really meant to be The only one under the sun But now you go on your own way To a place far less gray Where the sun shines on everyone And all around you is a place of warmth and joy So go on your way The day has just begun and for you. it will never end

In the end
Forever alone in the midnight hollow Where no one around would ever dare follow He looks at the sky and wishes with all his might When will it end, this god forsaken night The wind is howling, through trees barren and naked It seems to him that his life has been staked For the highest bidder, his soul is to take When out of the corner of his eye he does see Death itself, mysterious and free he gestured with a beckon of its hand He starts to follow, and leaves this land For his soul and life will never fly again.
