Standing on the frozen water, underneath the turquoise plain,

Temperature not getting hotter, chills set in and ease the pain.

Problems of your prior self, discarded at the price of health.

Peoples problems of today, vain and solemn, so cliche.

Imagine a desolate waste, bone chilling cold like that of space,

You're all alone, you have no place to call home,

You've got no phone, to call for a ride,

There's no one to call, there's no one to drive.

Buildings unheated , feeling defeated.

This is where humanity lies, struggling hard to survive,

Battling nature to stay alive, learning how to surely thrive.

Judged not by wealth, looks, or popularity,

But by hard work, devotion, and charity.

One day soon we will return,to the beginning when the skies were burned.

I pray for all that we'll realize, were all the same, what a surprise.

One August morning, waiting for those birthday presents,

Then with no warning, down stairs came my parents,

And with them came a special surprise,

Our family was ending , due to lies.

Divorce was the word of choice,

Pain in my fathers voice ,

Too young to understand,

Why this was being planned,

Ever since this **** event,

My family has grown more distant.

Soon after mom was gone,

My eldest sis embarked upon,

A journey of her own.

My other sis went with mom,

All alone with dad .com,

Stayed with him a couple of years,

Soon followed the steps of my family peers,

I feel bad for leaving,

Left my father , alone and grieving,

Why should I be the one to stay,

When it comes down to it, were all grey,

One day maybe we,

Can once again be family.

The sun will rise, and the sun will set,

Everyday, the older you get,

Daily lessons , taught yourself,

Experience gained, set atop a shelf.

Mental problems thought to be,

A silent solemn catastrophe.

I heard wisdom comes with age,

I see different , turn the page,

Wisdom seems to come with trials,

Placed in front, stretched out for miles,

Some will make and some will break,

Lessons out there for the take,

Failing and falling down,

Just remember not to frown,

Get back up a little wiser,

Throw the gas on the fire,

Ignite the flame that is your brain,

Live your life it's open bar,

Just don't forget who you are.

I just want to disappear,

Take me somewhere far from here,

Show you all my side of fear,

In fact go grab me some ******* beer,

Time to forget about my pain,

Forget my troubles , pickle my brain.

Travel somewhere on a train,

Beat an old man with his cane,

I'm just kidding about the violence,

Couldn't stand the loud *** silence,

Now I'm not pointing the blame ,

I don't need help carrying this shame ,

Back to the beginning of this,

Blink my eyes then take a ****,

Try to find a girl to kiss ,

Find my self lost in bliss,

O wait, I forgot I'm drunk,

Just another loser flunk,

I just want to disappear ,

Take me some place far from here.

Happiness is hard to find ,

You try to live well and be kind,

But nothing ever seems to be,

As it should , nothings free.

Work work work for all your life,

Hoping someday you'll find a wife,

Then one day you find a knife,

Buried deep inside your back,

All your thoughts soon turn to black.

But one thing to keep in mind,

At your lowest you will find,

Only way to go is up,

Turn your fear, stress and anger,

Realize how to look at your cup,

Take what you've got, never give up.

As I sit in silent thought,

Of all the things I've been taught,

I ponder questions like who and why?,

Why am I here , and why not die?

I think about the simple life,

Working hard, loving a wife,

No problems but those of nature,

Surviving her forces and her anger,

Feelings deprived, unbelieved,

Her storms subside, and do relieve,

The pressures of the world around,

The sun reveled , it's warmth unbound,

To warm and heal the scars of the earth,

The scars of us, and the scars of birth.

Where are we to go from here?

The **** is gone, there's no more beer,

The air is quiet, not a sound,

The people have left, no one around,

Your all alone, no one to guide you,

Lost in a dream, yourself to find you ,

Wishing you could take it back,

Surrounded by that deep space black,

When you feel less then bright,

Know that through darkness, comes light.
