How I miss the safety of that place
I always had a smile on my face

You would think I’d be miserable
Locked away
It was the best thing for me
I must truly say

I made lots of friends
Who meant a lot at the time
They will never be forgotten
I include them in my rhyme

Not everyone made it
Some didn’t even get home
I can understand the feeling
My first two months were spent alone

Now I have a life
Like I’d never believe
Why was I special
And got a reprieve

I thank the Dear Lord
Every day I’m alive
I’m a survivor
Because of Him I survived

It’s amazing to me
How in one quick moment
Your life can change completely
For better or for worse

One bad decision
One overlooked detail
It could all change the course of your life
In less than a split second

Your journey is set for you long ago
But we still have the free will
To change it ever so slightly

There is always two endings
To every story
Every novel
And every life

It’s dark in my room
The sun has yet to rise
I’ve been awake for hours
Not to my surprise

I never seem to be able to sleep
Until the sun rises
Or my alarm starts to beep

So here I sit again, all alone
I can’t even call anyone on the phone

The rest of the world is sleeping
Everyone but me
So what will I do?
I’ll write endlessly

It is a simple question, do you believe a wife should obey her husband?
Sorry if you answered yes, you see this is America, we are all equal and it is illegal to oppress another human being.
Don't bring that **** around here, some of us are socially evolved.

Seriously, We have young girls we're trying to teach independence to here, that's who we should be as humans.

Some say I’m crazy
Some say I’m brave
I don’t disagree
I’m just so glad I’ve been saved

My life was a blur
Days rolled into weeks
I had no idea where I was
More valleys than peaks

I began my journey blindly
I could not see
I had no idea
What would happen to me

Today I am happy
That’s all I can say
Thanks to my God
He showed me the way

I want to feel passion
For love, life, career
Sometimes it seems impossible
But obtainable, so I hear

To do something I love
Is a dream of mine
I don't think in this pursuit, I'm one of a kind

When the passion is gone
For anything in life
It's hard to get up
When your heart's full of strife

I'll continue my journey
With hope in my heart
Looking for passion
I know it can't be far

He sits on the bench
And for the very first time
Feels peaceful and tranquil
Yet he doesn’t have a dime

He lost his family and his home
In the blaze of a fire
He’s now all alone, and had lost all desire

Desire to rebuild a life once again
He lost his wife and baby
And he’s lost all his friends

He mourns for his wife, and his baby girl
That has left him in a bottle on this bench to hurl

It’s time to crawl out
Of the bottle of gin
He still has a full life ahead
If he’d only begin…

I sit in my home office
Wondering what is this all about
Why am I here
Why all this doubt?

I want to feel the world at my feet
I want to dance to a different beat

This corporate crap is getting old
I don’t even believe it, I’m no longer sold

I want to run to a place
Where peace is abound
Where serenity wraps like a warm blanket
Only beautiful soothing sounds

I can’t find it here
Sitting at this desk
Am I willing to just run, take that risk?

I have to do something
Before I lose my soul
I need to set a lasting goal

It isn’t here at this desk of mine
I need to find peace of mind

Forever serene

I have to slow down
I move to fast
Learn to make each moment last

Before you know it
It’ll be tomorrow
Hope it’s happy, not filled with sorrow

You never know what the day could bring
It could be happy, or full of sin

I won’t know until that moment
Which way the wind will blow
In a blink it could all be over
The moments gone, and I’ll never know
