That stands alone reminds me of me

It reminds me of all the love that bypassed me

That tree

It's fallen leaves

Like the tears that has fallen from me

How many times have I grieved

That tree

It's roots  embedded into the ground

Forever bound  

I  believed my loves would never uproot and leave

So many times it has happened to me

That tree

It's branches reaches out with hope

That there will be love

on the near hill *****

Another tree that it may seed

Ah!! it's truly just like me

That tree

It's bark weathered just like me

From waiting

Not so much from dating  

That tree

Standing strong

It will never leave

Waiting to see

If there should be

another love

Just like me

That tree

My lonely days are no more
My heart no longer torn or worn

At last

No longer am I feeling blue
The sun now shinning through

At last

I have someone that looks like you
You, I will call my boo

At last

My wait is now over
My life is not over

At last

My dreams
They are now things of the past  
Knowing this love will last
No more being the outcast

A man, woman , or child
of the species **** sapiens,
distinguished from other animals
by superior mental development
power of articulate speech
and upright stance.

Are you kidding me!!!
The definition drives me insane
Superior??
Why??
From the exterior, Maybe
From the interior, No
Seems to me most inferior

We have forgotten how to
"LOVE"
an intense feeling of deep affection
so many imperfections
We need  a lot of redirection
"WAR"
a state of armed conflict between different
nations or states or different
groups within a nation or state
Then we want to call everyone our mate??
"HATE"
A common trait
intense hostility and aversion usually
deriving from fear, anger or a sense of injury
"GREED"
What a breed
intense selfish desire for something
especially wealth, power, or food
"SIN"
It's all women and men
an offense against religious or moral law
an action that is or is felt to be highly reprehensible
an often serious short coming
How cunning

"HUMANITY"
the quality or state of being humane
the quality or state of being human
human attributes or qualities
the totality of human beings
!!
I rest my case

All I want to do is  run, run, run
Straight into the sun , the sun, the sun
Make my life done, done, done
There is not going to be a rerun
So many things I have done
They cannot be undone
I AM NO LONGER YOUNG
Right now it seems my life could be done
     !!
A second chance
God is the only one who knows
I have been alone
Many times in the worst pain
I brought it on myself
I am the one I need to blame
For all the ******* strains
All it does is rain
So hard to turn the wheel and change lanes
Drained, Drained , Drained
What a disaster
So many times  I fail to my knees and prayed
so hard to my master
Winked one eye this life
moved faster, faster, faster
I usually take life with a grain a salt
But now
that it is close to being done
Looking back I have to ask
What have I done??

I think I might be
Out of control
No !!
"I know"
I have lost control
I hate to pay life's toll
This is my goldfish bowl
Lots of
***, drugs and rock-n-roll
These things embedded in my soul
They make me feel whole
So many addicted to my 10 inch pole
Hard as hell to say no!!
When approached
"Ego stroked"
Drugs help me from going down the worm hole
Spent a lot of my bankroll
"Yes" I know
Provoked by rock-n-roll
Believe me all this has taken it's toll
But I will never feel low
and will never be on parole
I will never be controlled
"Bad boy"
It's all I know
and
Being OUT OF CONTROL
So if your living life a little out of control
"Like this"

Needs to be anywhere
As long as it's a place of nowhere
I will go there
Before I have a breakdown
I need to get out of this **** town
No longer want to stick around
I am about to drown
You can see it in my frown
There is nothing here to keep me from going
somewhere not knowing
easygoing
Maybe somewhere it's snowing
the moon is always glowing
Somewhere, it's calling for me
my destiny
A new place to see
Somewhere to clear the air
have a new love affair  
not have a care
Here or there
Going somewhere
where I can make believe
and will never want to leave
and my mind will stop moving
no more booing
no more need of overdoing
Going somewhere for some renewing
Where my thoughts makes since  
"Convinced"
Going somewhere
Anywhere, Anywhere
To set myself free
!!
It's all I need
Somewhere
!!

there will be no tomorrow
no more time to borrow
seeing becomes narrow
the mind becomes an inferno
doing nothing thorough
being alone
everybody disowned
hearing nothing but the moan
and the groan
tears flow
the world turns so slow
there is no more glow
become a john doe  
feeling just so so
no longer a believer
not allowing anyone to come closer
sorrow it constantly lurks
face always smirks
heart barely works
my sorrow maybe will end
the day after
tomorrow
!!
