Nothing like a gesture
From one friend
To another
To make me feel
A thousand times better

The life I once had
Had to have left me
With a sense of sad

I do not remember
But at one time did
Probably when I
Was still a kid

A childs brain
Seeming so
Void of pain

The life they recall
And usually
Remembering
Their fall

For twenty years now
I have been asleep
Lost in a nightmare
Wanting to leap

I am awake
I am alive

Time now to bring
Happiness with me
And leave behind
Such pain that stings

To the next life
I dare not
Bring strife

Every mind on this earth
Is just as unique
As the very universe
That surrounds them

There is a certain sense of beauty
Almost like a building
Covered in ivy
When I can order a beer
With no fear
Of anyone checking my I.D.
Do not let it be told
I am not one year older
Than 20

It is less of a hum
And more of an 'oh!'
When meditation
Teaches flow

What the hell is it anyway?
To be a man.

To be assertive?
To have a plan?

***** it.
Just open,
Your pineal gland.

I'm tired today
With all the things I have done
I'm happy to say
