Untitled
Byron R Sweeney Jan 2013
It feels so peaceful to live in a world where we forgive,
Forgivness is for ourselves so we can keep going and live,
Open up your mind and realize what freedom is,
It starts deep down inside you that's why it cannot miss,
So break through these walls that keep you in,
And remember you have the victory in him.

More Like A Thought
Byron R Sweeney Jan 2013
And so here I sit
Waiting,
Looking to see you in everything,
And so I am,
And so because I am looking,
I see you.
I hear your voice,
but this is something I had to seek to find.

A Love Confession
Byron R Sweeney Jan 2013
I can't face the day without you,
You see I can never make it on my own,
And after all the things that I've been through
I don't ever want to be alone

Please don't take this so lightly,
because I have never felt this way before
I just want to try to make you see
That you are the reason I live for

And I don't want to spend a day without you
because I know I am weak by myself,
And Your the only thing i have to lose
But I swear to you my love will never fail

I only want you to be happy
I couldn't bear to see you cry,
I can see that I have set you free
I can see it when I look into your eyes.

Shared Strength
Byron R Sweeney Jan 2013
How could I have stood on my own
Because I've never really been alone,
There has always been someone there
Telling me that without them I should be scared
And If I fall down
They tell me that I'm better off laying on the ground
But I know I can fly
Even with no real wings, I can try
And even If on this ground I lie
And the tears still leave my eyes
I'll still take on this life
With my head held high
I could have given up
Said I'd had enough
But you were there for me
You lifted me up and gave me peace
And into my heart you reached
And I thank you God, my weakness is your strength
I'm so glad you've heard my voice
Because there is all this noise
I'm thankful that when my heart is weak
You share with me your strengths
Your with me when I'm broken on the ground
Your with me when the rain comes down
I would have never believed
You would be so close to me
And I'm thankful for the greatest thing
I thank God, my weakness is your strength
I could have given up
Said I'd had enough
But you were there for me
You lifted me up and gave me peace
And into my heart you reached
And I thank you God, my weakness is your strength
I'm so glad you were there to hold my head so high
I'm so happy that your in my life
Into my heart you reached
And thank God my weakness is your strength

The Reflection In The Mirror
Byron R Sweeney Jan 2013
These pictures of time, Laid out before me.

The Choices I make every day.

These open wounds of mine, Play out before me,

How much more must I take?



I Stare in the mirrior and wait for it to change,

But my reflection is always the same,

I watch the tears fall as I stare myself down,

But this face staring back has no frown,

I stare in the mirrior and wonder why,

This man in the mirror continues to cry.



Promises I've been breaking, and risks I have taken,

It all plays out once again.

Back in the days, when the world wasn't the same

When I was convinced I could win



I Stare in the mirrior and wiat for the change,

But my reflection always stays the same,

I watch the tears fall as I stare myself down,

But this face staring back has no frown,

I stare in the mirrior and wonder why,

This man that I see continues to cry.



She's comming back to say hello again,

And this face that will greet her has a chance to win,

But how can he rise when all he knows is how to fall,

How strong must he be to break through these walls?



I stare in the mirrior and wait for the change,

But my reflection is always the same,

I watch the tears fall as I stare myself down,

And I see the tears break before they hit the ground

I stare in the mirrior and wonder why,

This man I see has so much pain inside.



This reflection is all I know

But Everything changes when you know where to go,

I cry out to the Father to spare my heavy load,

So that the reflection's story will be told.



And suddenly everything begins change,

And this face staring back at me now has no pain,

So he thanks God for taking it away,

While looking in the mirror at himself today



I stare in the mirror and wait for the change

Suddenly This reflection doesn't look the same

See how this reflection changes.

I stand before my God without any shame.

Goodbye to everything that has gotten in the way

And my whole reflection has completed a change

— The End —
