Have you ever felt like your barley treading water
Or maybe that your body is being consumed by the ground you once stood on
The cocoon that your being wrapped up in is your defense mechanism to fight off your insecurities
Once you emerge like a butterfly does when it's ready
You will spread your wings, show your beautiful and vibrant colors and show the world your transformation into something new
Never doubt the crossroads of life and the fractured walkways your come across
In the end you will become a bigger and better person as you soar to your own destiny

All eyes on me
Always
I need to be the center of attention
Always
Put the focus on me
Always

Why are some people like this?
Always in the spotlight
Always need to be noticed
Maybe take a step back
And see the world a little different
Unfocus your camera lens of your eyes
So maybe the world would see you a little clearer
And for that reason you will always be seen...

Three years ago still haunts me
Making the decision of what the inevitable would become the reality
Watching your body deteriorate right in front of our eyes
Knowing the day was coming to say our goodbyes
I held your hand and looked into your eyes
Saying I love you and to just let go
Even though the pain in my heart was greater then you know
Six more days you held on to your life as we surrounded your bedside
Not a day goes by I don't think of you and our final time together
Papa bear, I miss you and love you so much
3 years ago today was the last time we talked to one another even though you were here for a little longer
Our final week together was a picture frame of memories that will last forever
If only there was a time machine to take me back just to hold on to you and never let go...
3 years ago was the final week of my dads life. Miss him more and more with each passing day. It's never gets easier you just cry a little less everyday. :(

A cool breeze shakes the leaves
Crisp mornings enchant my nose
Birds chirping like the fireworks of the rushing world
Time is precious
Try and stop time
Take a deep breath
Take it all in
Fill your body with your surroundings
Be the beauty that engulfs our lives
Stand on the edge of your own destiny
Step off, soar with the wind and see where the cool breeze will take you

The majestic colors of the sky
Ever changing before our eyes
It's Gods canvas he hand paints for all to see
If you look hard and just believe
There is a hidden message for you and me
Our loved ones are watching over us
Thank you for the amazing work of creation of the castle of heaven for our loved ones to be...

Sometimes people who have your back, really don't.
Sad to say that is the truth
Look out for yourself because in the end your the only one to be truthful to you

When I open my mouth not a sound comes out
I can't speak for there is no more reason for me to talk
The music plays in the background and my heart fills with joy
Suddenly it makes sense to try to make a sound
The vibration in my head and in my throat begin to shake
I close my eyes, lift my head and the soundtrack to my life begins to pour out of me
No one can hear me when I talk
But when the noise becomes music to everyone ears
I am loud
I am proud
I am the lyrics to my own thoughts and life struggles I have been through
Words do not form when I talk but the lyrics to ones own sound is the music to thy owns life
