Lost in the maze called my life,
Lost in the haze, called your eyes,
Lost in that gaze , that beautiful gaze,
wishing everything could be alright,
You'd stroke my cheek and tell me the comforting lie,

"everything's alright"
I knew it was a lie, mama
I just taught myself to believe it
U gotta love those who taught u and loved u , aka mom and dad
Lord, give me needed courage,
And the strength to do your will;
When in life I'm troubled,
In my heart your peace instill.

Help me that I won't worry,
What others may think of me;
Help me so I will not sin,
So I'm able to be free.

Help me Lord to turn to you
And to put my trust in Thee;  
Holy, Lord help me to be,
On me bestow your mercy.    

Lord, help me to please You,
In all that I say and do.
I had no idea your heart was a lover's grave yard.

My heels had felt
harsh gravity
of the steep downhill...

My toes suffered,
the vicious bite
of the incline.

My soles had tasted
the everlasting bland
offered by the flat of the earth.

I know the distance.

Alas I run unequipped,
with a horse’s breath.

Not bent
Not bruised
Broken
Together one minute
Shattered the next
Like a mirror
Showing a perfect reflection
It cracks
It breaks
Distortion is all i see
Or maybe its just the real me
Not bended
Not bruised
But broken.
That broken image is me
My reality
An unbroken mirror
Is an illusion of unreal reflection
Holding no truth
Showing not who i am
But what the mirror portrays ne to be
