The end is the beginning and the process is the way, which “should” be enjoyed and cherished, every single day. Disregard all the doubt, that takes up all your time.
Nothing is for certain, so open up your mind. Seek out and find your purpose, be diligent and true. Never feel discouraged, by becoming more immune. You know yourself much better, than anyone you know. People will try to bring you down, but you’ve got to let it go. Focus on your goals instead, let nothing steer you away. Never wait until tomorrow, what you can do today.

The ocean, in its natural form
Casually taking me away from the norm
Calm and serene
Violent at times
Sand on the beach
Good to unwind
Soak up the sun
No clouds in sight
Stay through the day
Soak up the rays
And into the night
The wind on my face
The breeze due in time
Sand in my toes
The sky so divine

We set our sights
To the newfound land
Across the sea we’re bound
Along the way our fears were met
Before we ever touched on solid ground
Despite our ship and steady sails
No match were we to stand
For a whale of grand proportions took
The will of every man

I haven’t cried in a while
Must be hidden behind my smile
I hold back the tears
Succumbing to fears
Been that way since I was a child

I needed a shoulder
Even though I’ve grown older
As tears stream down from my face
The life of a loser
An always wrong chooser
Living a life gone to waste

No other way to describe it
I know, cause I tried it
No dream and no drive
But, I’m lucky to still be alive

There’s always tomorrow
To drown in my sorrow
Another day wasted away
Time keeps on ticking
I’ve taken a licking
I guess that I’m here to stay

My soul has taken its toll
For what I know and do not know
My memories, they haunt me
But I lay in bed so blissfully

I dream in color like no other
Faces and shapes a plenty
I wake to an alarm
Wondering who it is I've harmed

Hidden behind a mask
Is not an easy task
Carrying your opinions
Like a black cloak cast

Danger leads to anger
Anger leads to disaster
A fallen angel
Lay in the pasture

No pain, just laughter
The eternal savior
A course to hell
Is what I'm after

You're in my head
You're on my mind
I think about you all the time
I'll leave my heart out on the line
Just hoping that you'll be mine

Days go by and I wonder why
Our lives got so intertwined
I play the tape back on rewind
Not sure of what I hope to find

One day baby, we'll be whole
Oh baby, we'll be whole
Just think of all the joy that could unfold

Some might say I'm walking blind
Into the darkness of the night
But you're the sunshine in my eyes
That lights my way no need for sight

Even on a cloudy day
In drenched clothes caught out in the rain
My entire life in disarray
But you're still perfect in every way

One day baby, we'll be whole
Oh baby, we'll be whole
Just think of all the joy that could unfold

He wasn’t rich
He wasn’t poor
He wanted less
But needed more
His faith was lost
But then restored
Once she walked
Through the door
He crossed his arms
Just like before
With hopes of evening
Up the score
He loved and lost
But still adored
His beloved
On golden shores

If you promise not to hurt me
I'll give you all I have
Don't you dare desert me
That'll only make me mad

Never break the circle of trust
It will merely make me angry
When in doubt, shout out loud
You know that drives me crazy

Turn in your keys when you're done
Be sure to lock the door behind you
Take all of your belongings
I ought not have to remind you

I'll be waiting with open arms
For your anticipated return
Nonjudgmental looks of censure
Only unyielding concern

That you return back to me safely
Unscathed or worse for wear
Humbled, yet aware
Till our love is mended and repaired

I've only ever aimed to please you
Bring you joy where there was none
Day to night and night to day
Under moon, the stars, and sun

I promised to provide for you
Protect you from all harm
But nothing ever seems to go as planned
It's what gives life it's charm

Mutually agreeing
No battle to be won
No making up excuses
What took forever to get done

There's a sensible explanation
Why things are the way they are
No boundaries or obstacles
Could make me feel I've gone too far

The end from our perspective
Maybe a minute, week, or years
It's unknown what's in store for us
Don't be suppressed by fear

Spread your wings and fly my bird
Embark on dreams set way too high
As you soar up into the open sky
Happy you're alive.

For the longest time I've wandered
Down paths and winding roads
Only to encounter
What I've already known

The secret to my happiness
The one I call up on the phone
The only love that's in my heart
The only love I've ever shown

I've got to find my way back
From the bottom to the top
Relentless through the thick and thin
I'm never gonna stop

How could I leave you all alone
Baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm coming home
Baby I'm coming home

I'll say all the things I should have said
Do everything I can
To prove to you I've seen the light
Let you know I'm still your man

I've seen the error of my ways
I know I've made mistakes
But please, you just have to believe me
I've still got what it takes

Do you remember that first night
Our eyes met at the dance hall
You looked at me and I knew right then
It was for you that I would fall

Let's go back and rehash that moment
From where it all began
Back to all the innocence
Try to remember if you can

Let's start this whole thing over
I'm calling for a redo
I'll be a better version of myself
And you just keep being you

Can I please just have your forgiveness
Welcome me back with opened arms
This time it won't be like it was back then
When I lured you with all my charm

This is me here standing before you
No gimmicks, tricks, or games
I'm the man you fell in love with
The very one in the same

I'll get down on bended knee
Ask you if you'll be my bride
And If you'd have me as your husband
I'd be the happiest man alive

Steeped in chores
Throughout the day
Mustn’t there be
Another way
She worked and worked
For little pay
There must be
Some mistake
Laundry, iron,
Wipe, and spray
It doesn’t leave
Much time to play
Scrub, and mop,
And sweep the bay
The whole **** house
Is in disarray

She had big dreams
To be on stage
As an actress
Who’d be all the rage
With a dressing room
In which to change
But her hopes and dreams
Got washed away
If she had had the right words to say
She wouldn’t be
where she is today
Washing, cleaning
As an oppressed maid
