Deep inside, it feeds my soul
It needs to come out or it takes its toll
It flows like a river after the rain
My mind, the words, are the remains
I have to release what I feel
Keeping me sane, it’s surreal
My goal is simply to share my pain
A way others can avoid, and maintain
Words flow through me, versus appear
My head on my pillow, yet it all is so clear
Destined to a life, unfulfilled
Is a prison, a world, a constant rebuild

Life is great in certain ways
Discovering something new, that was so near
Assuming things based on what one portrays
Learning that it was cloaked in fear

Fear of opening their heart
Because like others, pain is part of the past
Hoping, wishing, they long for a new start
But focus too much on time elapsed

To move on, one has to let go
Accept it is time to take a risk, make a change
The mirror see’s and it knows
Your soul, your “you” you can’t exchange

Inspire, interact, and show some compassion
It will go a long way to make things happen
A simple smile, say hello, connect and care
A day will come, when you are in need of an “ear”
Someone who will interact, listen and truly believe
Listen, know what you need, sending you on a path to achieve

Inspire, Inspire... in return you will receive what you desire

Help, I seek some assistance
Waiting and wishing for it all
Difficult as it is
I need you and don’t even know you
Helpless
Helpless
No that’s not me
But it’s difficult
So hard to be sure
Sure of one thing,  I know...
I am searching for something more...

You can plan for change and prepare
Feel confident, it will all go as planned
Yet when real life happens and the change causes despair  
the pain and emotion is difficult to withstand
The past returns like this overwhelming flood
Permeating all, ruining what was to be
You search for answers from afar and above
Just hoping you will find exactly what you need
But the “need” is impossible to feed
Its apparent you are destined to seek
To look for what never will be
You had it, lost it, that you will see

My gal, my gal you are so sweet
Despite our differences, our love was complete
My attention was lacking and u needed me
But I was unable to recognize and I was blind to see
See that I had a person to prize
But my temporary nature continues my demise
You will find a soul to that will keep u forever
My hope is that our time u will remember
Don’t know what is next or where I will go
Just hold on, save, what you know

Drifting and drifting so far offshore
My being is solo, empty to my core
Why now, why, is this all there is I see
Please tell me, please convince me, who am I to be
If not, I chose to leave you here
And search and seek for what I hold dear
I may be gone, it’s past your time
Yet if we have shared, you will always be mine
