The shake,
It's pain you see,
Holding me back,
From breaking free.

I carry it,
Traveling with it so,
My shine fades,
A single glow.

I worry now,
I may not survive.
But my life if young,
I have yet to arrive.

Pen in hand,
Words in mind.
The race is on,
My ink runs hot.

My soul spills out,
Onto the page.
I'm winning now,
My thoughts run thin.

But just when I think,
I have it won.
My thoughts flood back,
A million new ones to write.

My hand is cramping,
But I can't give up.
Write faster I say,
But I just simple cannot.

Millions of thoughts,
Inside my head.
I'm not sure,
how they can all fit.
They keep piling in,
Like an avalanche.
I take everything in,
And let nothing out.

Do I have a limit?
How much can I hold?

I'm not sure home much longer my walls can stand.

If you believe I have limits,
Then you are the one who is limited, not I.

This world is a blank canvas,
And I stand ready to paint.
I choose my fate,
No one else can, but I.
This is my life.

You cannot tell me,
My life has some plan.
I haven't planned anything,
And there for you are wrong.
This is my life.

You cannot tell me,
What I can and cannot do.
I decide that,
And I have decide I can do anything.
This is my life.

I live not for a single person,
Or purpose,
I live because I choose to.
I live.
I choose.
This is my life!

What is the world,
But our own perception.
We take it all in,
Building it's complexion.

How can we judge,
Others by what we see.
For we do not know,
Where their mind might be.

So take a step back,
Look from new eyes.
The world can be so different,
If everyone tries.

"Look both ways before you cross the street", so the saying goes.
I just wish someone had told me the same thing about life.

My roots run deep,
I feel so grounded.
But all I want,
Is to be able to fly.

The birds swoop above me,
Almost in a taunt.
I cannot break these ties,
That hold me down.

I push upward,
Trying to soar.
But instead,
I only grow taller.

We sit on this earth,
Not for reason or cause.
We are here to live,
Even with our flaws.

Go into the world,
Get out of your head.
Live to be alive,
Don't live to be dead.

So come with me now,
Take my hand if you dare.
I'll show you the world,
And everything out there.

My sail is broken,
The waves to high,
My will is slowly dying.
I can't hold out,
The storm's to strong,
I've given up on trying.

I look at the sea,
The water so blue,
But I know the evil it holds.
It temps you so,
To dive right in,
But I tell you it's a fools gold.

I say my prayers,
And final goodbyes,
I know my fate is sealed.
I'm going down with my ship,
I've forgiven myself,
I think I'm finally healed.

The bow dips below,
The water so cold,
And I close my eyes and smile.
My time is up,
I'm ready to die,
Prepared for my final trial.
