The room somber
the reality slowly hitting all of us
her young life
gone
a freak thing
a terrible accident
but through the tears
that her family shed
I sit in the back
the dark black coffin
the cream fabric
a haunting reality
We're in the same room once more
and I can't tell her how I feel
My wife hated the idea I came
but I had to
had to say my goodbye
but even as the room empties
I sit in the back
motionless
That open coffin
her pretty face
just out of view
and my mind
trying to figure out
how to tell her
I love you
once more
Late nights when my mind runs
The struggle to be productive
only to be frozen
Endless thoughts
and unable to act upon any of them
But to sleep is impossible
So I sit
paralyzed completely
funny how the times change ones mind
"Do you still care about him?"

As easy as a breath the truth came from my lips
as easy as a heartbeat I spoke

admitted how your memory still lingers
not because of a book
or hope
but because you accepted me
for me

Never asking for change
never demanding modifications
never asking anything
but to be loved the same

And we loved
through the nights we loved
through the ups and downs
through the hell we raised
through the peace we shared
we loved

So when asked a simple question
not a moment later the word came from my lips
so soft
but so powerful

"yes"
The ideas are in the palm of your hand
the expertise yours alone to hold
Such a small crowd you run in
but the worlds attention you hold

Entrepreneur
such a fancy name
for something fancy
A mouthful to express
how you don't just let your dreams
be just dreams

Entrepreneur
You are famous where you go
your own boss and money maker
what more could you want,
when you sit on the seat so high?

Entrepreneur
your eyes are leaking
your body is shivering
you have everything
why are you upset?

Entrepreneur
A burden some carry
to realize how small the world can be
when no one thinks you struggle

Entrepreneur
A lonely road to walk
And when the funds run dry
but the ideas won't stop
remember what they say

Entrepreneur
You are one of a kind
you make your dreams reality
you work when everyone clocks out
and understand the magnitude of what you have

Entrepreneur
Be brave
be resilient
be strong
and be proud

to stand out among the crowd
and face the worlds wrath
like it was another Tuesday

Fight
scream
shout
cry
do what ever you need to do

to not give up
You try so hard
to be a horse in the heard
hide your horn
tuck in your wings

but the winds blew off your cover
tickled your feathers
and made you open your wings

Don't hide your differences
don't let them prey on you
embrace your difference
and step away from the heard

even if you are alone
it is better to fly above the clouds
then to be tied in the heard
It was a simple act
reading a book I talked about
and getting to talk with someone about it
made me smile
shinning a light in the darkness
I've been in for so long

It was just us talking about a book
but it meant so much to me
because it gave me a reason
to fight for another day
The money is gone
food is small

"Do you want more?"
"No I'm full"

leftovers become tomorrows dinner
one meal a day helps stretch the thin amount

I have nothing
but the animals looking to me for food

please don't make me say goodbye
when their time is almost gone

please don't take the one
who helps when my mind is a prison

please don't take the little ones
their finally all getting along

Please don't let this end with the tears
of goodbye

please have something give
just even a penny

just something to put food
in their mouths
and payment for shelter

I can live off the snacks
turning them into meals as my body shuts down

but please don't take my children
please don't make me say goodbye before their final breath
