Like the night I am alone, surrounded
By nothing but by much, I am
Like a star in the sky surrounded
By many but never more alone.
  
I am surrounded by everything,
Some times to close for comfort,
I wish for the peace of loneliness
For I am alone in myself.
  
Can I survive the noise that
Is the quiet myself, my thoughts
To loud I just wish for peace I
Am surrounded by much but
Never more alone.

I am young at heart but my body
gives me away, where once was youth now
departed, and old age like a vine has crept
up and consumed all my parts and me.
  
You may stroll past as I walk
so slow, but im taking the world
in with each step, loving the sites
the sounds, in my youth I just didnt
see as I thought time was my
friend and would always last an eternity.
  
My skin wrinkled but like the rings
of tree you may count to see the age I be,
I have seen history that you learn in books,
to you it is but paper, to me it was life I was there
I saw what you couldnt, wouldnt some times
want to see.
  
I am old but I am not usless, I am
knowledge, have skills, I have stories to
tell if you wish to listen to me.
  
I miss those that have left never
again to see, but I am at peace that
my life has been up and downs.
But I am happy with what I have done and
seen, it has gave me many years many things
still to be seen.

A lyricist can hide her heart in the metaphors of her lyrics.

A musician can hide his mind in the chords of his guitar.

A fan can find solace in the combination of both.

Sitting alone
Reflecting
Thinking about my life
My fight
I fight
everyday
of my life
is it worth it?
living to fight
I just don't see the light
at the end of this long tunnel
Then I found the fun of life
I realized the greatness of it all
life isn/t just a free fall
until we hit the bottom
its more like a roller coaster
with turns
and loops and screams and laughs
I wanna live
and laugh this is the only thing I have ever had
I have found the joy of life at last

I lost my true love
once she found my true self,
I keep thinking life is improving,
before I'm under the rubble again.

And I'll miss you,
I already do.

I realised that I loved you
and it felt like hands around my throat.
When you had already left the room,
all freedom of my heart did too.

You see, I had nothing left but you.
But you and my assorted maxims.
Now, I've been leaked to the press,
all of my scales have been shown
to the blue-light;
now, all that is left, is nothing at all.
