Don't fret little one,
I stood where you stand.
I used to know what it's like,
to be swept away by the waters.
Don't let the waters take you.
Get back on the boat,
take back your control,
and stand up for who you are.
Don't break yourself down,
It's not worth it.
Trust me, my dear child,
when I say I know.
Don't make the mistake I did,
and drown in the waters.
Being completely lost,
and bruising from the rapids.
Don't let the wall of rocks,
push you to be someone you aren't.
Instead, climb the crumbling wall,
and be who you want to be.

Hearing your stories,
Hearing your songs,
I start to understand.
We are not alone.
Forever in this realm of confusion,
Not being able to comprehend the exit.
The only place we seek is freedom.
The blade moves across,
Freedom is given.
We think forever,
We are wrong.
The door shuts
We are locked back into our cell
Only until, the blade moves once more
June 20, 2016

get away,
seriously get away from me.
i don't want you here,
nobody wants you here.

you possess lives,
you take over my thoughts,
you tear away at what's left of me,
and it all started with a silly lil' game.

you make me stay home,
you make me want to go forever.
why do you push me around,
when i've given you everything you ever wanted?

seriously get out.
i've recognized your presence,
i see you've made yourself known,
*now go away

The smell of sweet honey wisps over.
Golden hue of the autumn evenings filter over the moment.

'Cause you took these two left feet...

Music plays in the trees,
being carried by the warm soft breeze.

And waltzed away with my heart...

Sounds of happiness fall over,
Spinning in the tall chestnut grass.

No, I don't dance, but here I am...

Smiles form, never receding.
Pure joy fills the hearts of many.

Spinning you round and round in circles...

Laughter melts the pain away,
as the warmth of the sun falls behind the barn.

It ain't my style, but I don't care...

Shadows dance in the evening light,
like the twinkling reflection of the stars in her eyes.

I'd do anything with you anywhere...

The country moonlight illuminates the dirt road,
continuing endlessly, like the love stretched between two.

Yes, you got me in the palm of your hand, girl...

Trucks glide under the southern sky,
Kicking up dust through the fields.

'Cause I don't dance...

Laying under the dazzling ***** of fire,
Hand in hand, Heart to Heart.

*No, I don't dance.

For myself, Hatred is felt.
Many occasions pass by,
Mind still rambles on.

Old, New, Fake
All related to one,
or to another.

Life, throws,
pulls, centers,
and collapses.
all in one day

No stopping,
No starting.
Constant wheel,
forever in motion.

Hatred disguises in symbols,
themes and images in life,
in people.

Hiding amongst the bushes,
under the brush,
concealed from the world.
*waiting.

I've made my choice
respect it.

You may not like it,
You may not approve.
But this is just something
I shall never remove.
Save your breath,
I've heard it before
I'd rather not start,
yet another war.
Stop your disappointing looks,
the disapproving stares.
Because honestly that's
what slowly tears.
Parallel's I've noticed,
Things I've seen.
It's funny how you think
you're an innocent lil' bean.
So stop where you are,
before digging yourself too deep.
How do I know that
you're the one I wish to keep?

I've made my choice.
*respect me.

Positive words of wisdom,
spread through the cool, dry air.
Feeling the whispering wind,
brush swiftly across my hair.

Daffodils spreading sunshine,
Roses giving warmth,
Orchids beaming bright
continuing to sway back and forth.

A beautiful lotus gleaming above all,
floating in the sparkling pond.
The sun glistens in the water below,
radiating across, far and beyond.

a sadness in the mind,
clouds the judgement,
dawning a new beginning.

though heard of by most,
most deny the fact,
controlling every move.

its unwanted,
its miserable.
it never goes away.

tried and true
broken and beaten
tattered and lost

thrown to the floor
forced to be upset
forced to relive everything

taking your every move,
taking your every being.

Jealousy
*It's toxic

The game.
All about playing the cards right,
one slip up, and you could bring your team down.
You could lose the game.
To play the cards, takes time and patience.
You will renege,
You will take your partner's trick.
It's a learning process,
never gotten on the first try.
Never give up, because in the end,
You will be dealt a lay down loner.

Playing my guitar
the music entangles
in the room around me

Music I try
to spread to you
but it never seems
to reach

This musical bubble
has not been popped
though sometimes I feel
it should be

To stop and think
thinking is usually
bad, yet here
it gives me hope

I think of the saying
I said long ago
to someone who has
a special place
in my heart

I believe in this treasure
because its what
keeps my bubble
from popping

Seven beats
Seven measures
Seven notes
Seven words

Believe in yourself
Believe in who you are
You are you, for a reason

Know you can overcome,
surpass this time
of hardship and darkness

You have the strength
You have the support
to continue forward.

I believe in all of you,
though that may not mean much,
It's the best I can do
for now

I will continue to play my guitar
For you, my friends.
All I can do,
is surround you with
my music.

What I need you to do?
*Don't let the Music within you Fade.
