Raindrops
Max Vale Feb 2018
They told us we were weak,
Useless, ****.
We were awful and meek,
That was should give up and quit.

But no,
Alone we are raindrops.
Fragile, small,
Together we are an ocean,
Strong, proud.

So don't listen to those,
Who all they do is swear and spit.
Together let us walk forward,
And refuse to ever quit.

Laces
Max Vale Jan 2018
There's a time when you're lost,
Alone, terrified.
There comes a time when you feel,
Scared and horrified.

Everyone goes through these phases,
Yet not everyone makes it out alive.
There are some impossible stages,
Wait a little while, and see it resolve in time.

So if you're ever down,
Depressed and tainted,
Take a knee,
And tie up your laces.

Blink
Max Vale Jan 2018
Every life matters,
Every life is worth living.
Give life your all,
And maybe you'll achieve something.

Treasure the little things,
As much as the big things.
Love yourself,
And see what life  brings.

Live your life with no regret,
Don't stop to think.
Don't be afraid of any threat,
Because life will go by like a blink.

Love Yourself
Max Vale Jan 2018
You're not always what people think you are,
You're not always what you think you are.
But time will take you to different places,
And the world will untie like your laces.

But you can keep tying yourself together,
Hold on to yourself.
One man with the correct attitude,
Can move a whole mountain of solitude.

Yes, You will always fall,
Yes, You might fail.
Yes, You might be rejected,
But who knows, maybe you'll prevail.

It takes one step,
For the whole world to change.
So keep in good health,
And keep loving yourself

Embrace
Max Vale Jan 2018
Look up at the sky.
How many stars do you count?
Are you sitting there lazing,
Looking up and stargazing?

Draw a constellation,
Let your imagination run wild.
Is that an angel I see,
Or is it a child?

The stars can be anything,
You can be too.
Embrace everything,
Then life will embrace you.

Hold On Pain Ends
Max Vale Dec 2017
Darkness is the absence of light,
Defeat is the absence of pride.
Chaos is the absence of right,
Insanity is the absence of mind.

There will always be a battlefield,
Full of chaos and lies.
Don't be afraid,
A hero will rise.

The hero is abstract,
It can't really be seen.
But the hero can be felt,
And provides a shoulder to lean.

The hero has a sword,
And from the ashes it will ascend.
Stronger than any lord,
All pain will end.

We all take little things for granted,
But they mean the most to us.
A blade of emotion,
Strikes harder than one of steel.

God gave us a gift,
And from the  heavens it will descend.
The greatest gift of all tells us,
**Hold On All Pain Will End.
The hero is called Hope :) Hence the title :P

I Ain't Giving Up On You
Max Vale Dec 2017
We haven't got long left,
Our time here is limited.
We may have never met,
But I'm glad we did.

You may have given up,
On life itself.
Why should you?
When you haven't fought that battle yourself?

I am here today,
Because of who  was yesterday.
What you are tomorrow,
Is what you make of today.

So I ask you once more,
Do you want to die too?
Because until then I don't,
Cuz I ain't giving up on you.
:)

Burn Up The Sky
Max Vale Dec 2017
Storm in a bottle,
Hurricane at large.
Winds at full throttle,
Blizzard hits harsh.

Feel the music in your heart,
Feel the beat of the drums.
Let your outer shell tear apart,
And your inner spirit hum.

Unleash your beast,
Fireworks at ready.
Soul unleashed,
Soldier's steady.

Together we will thrive,
We will not die but survive.
So roar your battle cry,
And let's burn up the sky.
Let your anger spark passion and your passion spark victory :)

Sky High
Max Vale Dec 2017
You can't always play in the little league,
There are bigger ones out there.
You can't always win everything,
There's harder challenges out there.

So don't be afraid to climb the ladder,
Of glory, honor and fame.
You ain't gonna get better,
Sitting around all day.

The mountain is too tall,
So let's take it once step at a time.
The risk is to fall,
So let's continue our climb.

Once you're up,
Don't look down.
The greatest of all will fall,
Sink and drown.

So goodbye to the little leagues,
And prepare to die.
Rebirth yourself once more,
And say hello to the sky high.
The best way to live is to die first. Once you have, you can do anything.
The sky high is waiting.

We Go Drowning Together
Max Vale Dec 2017
Seashell shores,
Ocean blue waves.
Dancing fires,
Lustful airwaves.

We go through the woods,
We go through the river.
We go down the deepest lake,
Till we're lost and gone away.

We know we cant stay up,
The only way we can go is down.
Once your fears have gone away,
And you're sitting by the sundown.

I don't care what people say,
Just survive another day.
And then once you do,
**We Can Go Drowning Together
No one is going down alone. If you're going down i'm coming with you. At the end of the day guess I'll see you all in hell. I don't care at least we're together.

Legends Never Die
Max Vale Dec 2017
When the fighting is fierce,
And all hope it lost.
No help is near,
Heavy cost.

Let your passion ignite,
And heart burn.
Pride relight,
And stomachs turn.

The storm is calling,
The dragon is awakening.
So let out your battle cry,
*Because Legends Never Die.
Legends never die, they live in our hearts and stories for eternity.

Wings
Max Vale Dec 2017
God did not give us wings,
So we could build our own.
He did not give us many things,
As he wanted us to discover alone.

My wings I have built,
Are a blessing.
From the guy up there's,
eternal loving.

So I wear my wings with pride,
I soar over the skies.
I skim over the tide,
And embrace the ocean's cry.

The Sun comes up,
I feel his radiance.
The clouds float by,
As I dance.

Wolves
Max Vale Dec 2017
Life is always rewarding,
The rewards just take time.
You can accomplish anything,
If you have a go and try.

So no matter the times I slip,
No matter the times I fall.
Life is always worth the trip,
Climbing over the wall.

You can throw me to the wolves,
You can throw me off the track.
But in time I will return,
And I'll be leading the pack.
There is an old saying "Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack"

If I Could Be Anything
Max Vale Dec 2017
I know it's going to be a long day,
So i brought my ukulele.
Let me sing you a song,
One of beauty and glee.

If I could be anything,
You asked me.
If you could whatever,
What would you be?

Baby I'll be your blanket at night,
I'll keep you warm till the morning light.
Baby I'll be your novella,
Your beloved Cinderella.

Baby I'll be your boat,
Struggling just to keep you afloat.
Baby I'll be your muse,
When you've got those blues.

Baby I'll be those fireflies,
And all those butterflies.
Baby I'll do anything,
To give you everything.

Here's To Adventure
Max Vale Dec 2017
We all don't belong on this world,
It takes us a while to settle in.
But alas once we have I am told,
The future brings more in.

So don't be afraid to let go,
Don't let your joy become sorrow.
For once you have courage to lose the shore,
You'll have the bravery to cross.

Life is short,
So lets see all its splendor.
Raise your torch,
And say hello to new adventures.
Get outta of there, Raise your cups cuz this is to new adventures

You Are Not (Never) Alone
Max Vale Nov 2017
Life is about walking,
Not always in a straight line.
But always pushing,
The limits of your time.

Most people run,
From the wolves.
Most people hide,
From the toughs.

However life give us an option,
To take or challenge this alone.
Thanks to other's collaboration,
May we triumph over this cyclone.

No matter the winded paths,
No matter the unforgiving hearts.
May the path give birth,
To those long forgotten laughs.

So let's reach out to those in need,
And warm those hearts of stone.
Whatever this life heeds,
Remember you are never alone.
Max Vale Nov 2017
Banished to an island,
Of desertion and isolation.
Running form the wolves,
Of fear and alienation.

The ghosts still haunt me,
The lions still hunt me.
All in hope that I lose,
Then hell breaks loose.

Broken, hurt
Destroyed.
Hopeless, lost,
Terrified

I'm on my own on this island,
I've got loads of things to fear.
But I will always look to the future,
For the light that shines is always here.
Stay strong
Max Vale Nov 2017
Have you ever had someone wander into your life?
That you never knew you needed
But now they're there it all makes sense

Aye, The path i once took,
From the Earth to the moon.
Is now over,
And no longer in use.

No longer looking for something that’s just out of reach
As far as the moon,
A new path opens
Will I take it?

I ponder,
I think.
In my slumber,
My dream winks

Pulling one way and then another
Back and forth
Which way will I go?
My subconscious trying to make a decision

Left,Right
And Center,
South, North,
No better.

I might try something new
Lead with my heart
Instead of my head
*For once in my life
Max Vale Nov 2017
Each page conveys the sentiment
the words, more meaning still
to pause for just, a moment
listening to, the writer's quill

Inspiration flows,
From my soul to my mind to my eye.
My quill glows,
Connecting the dots, of the paper my ally

It's there for you and me
the comradere of prose
sung, lined, rhymed, or free
and perfectly, composed

My quill sings a story,
My heart translates its feelings.
My paper is never lonely,
For the words fill its openings.

We deal with emotions
the ones, we can't suppress
words, in constant motion
poetically, expressed

The words we can,
We scream, shout or yell.
The words we can't,
We sit quietly and dwell.

The feel of synchronicity
a push, sometimes, a pull
not knowing what will, or may not be
a glass not empty, but yet, not full

My Guitar
Max Vale Oct 2017
Standing on a rocking boat,
Waves thrown against me.
Wrapped in a warm, thick coat,
The Ocean turns against me.

Washed up on a sandy shore,
The sky is blue.
Boat smashed in pieces,
Guitar still in tune.

Walking through these woods,
With nothing but my music.
Alone in this forest,
Strumming to the acoustic.

Carved ancient rocks,
Of a civilization long ago.
My music reminds these rocks,
Of a life long ago.

These lustful meadows,
Of roses and violets.
My music grows these meadows,
Of flowering little starlets.

This towering mountain,
Of tranquility and solitude.
My music warms this mountain,
And softens its attitude.

Sun rising above the mountain,
At last I've reached the peak.
Moon falling below the horizon,
And so this new life I meet.

Standing on a floating cloud,
With just my guitar.
Departing from his life,
And taking my music afar.
Music can do anything, When in doubt play :)

Stranger From The North
Max Vale Oct 2017
I came from the north,
With my strings and guitar.
My family put their hopes in me,
So I may go far.

I wander these streets,
Alone and cold.
Forgotten stories,
Never to be told.

Every corner I turn,
Every house I pass.
I see sad faces,
Who never made it.

Lonely souls,
Saddened loss.
Sadists,
Whom all is lost.*

Alas, I couldn't go far,
The streets defeated my,
Strings and guitar.

Now I watch the cars go by,
Wishing I could have has a better life.

You Can Go Further
Max Vale Oct 2017
Everybody gets lost sometimes,
Its part of life.
Everybody gets hurt sometimes,
No one can run or hide.

From those troubles,
problems and obstacles.
You have to face them on your own,
Don't be afraid of what you don't know.

And if you're ever afraid,
scared or terrified.
Come back another day,
The boat's always ready for a ride.

You were made weak,
Its OK to cry and run away.
Just make sure you learn,
And return again some day.

The Ocean is vast,
The Forest is never-ending,
The Moon is far,
And the path is always winding.

However the view from the mountain,
Will broaden your horizons.
At the end of your journey,
*You Can Go Further
I learn **** from life, Thanks life i guess

The Peacock & The Cock
Max Vale Oct 2017
The Peacock and the ****,
Went a' walking.
Says the Peacock,
"What shall we do on this fine day?"
The **** said,
"Why not find some bread?"
So off they went.

The Peacock and the ****,
Went a' wandering.
Says the Peacock,
"Alas my friend,
I do not see any bread"
The **** replies,
"What a shame,
Let us retreat to the barn again,"
So off they went.

The Peacock and the ****,
Went a' ambling.
Says the Peacock,
"Alas the sun has come up,
We have wasted our day"
Replies the ****,
"For you yes,
But boy did i get some exercise"
So off they slept.

Forgotten & Unsung Heroes
Max Vale Sep 2017
The heroes of long gone are forgotten,
Despite the good deeds they've done.
Now they lie in their graves rotten,
And no one knows what they've done.

The cotton picker who fought off wolves,
The candlestick maker who kept the pirates at bay.
The baker who fed the homeless with his loaves,
The beggar who brightened everyones day.

The soldier who sacrificed himself,
The nomad that fed the hungry.
The gypsy that always gave help,
The missionary that gave flowers to the sickly.

Their deeds are forgotten,
By everyone except me.
God bless them in their coffins,
And let's help others that are in need.

:)
These people were real they lived in my village for years,
God bless these heroes.

Little Do You Know
Max Vale Sep 2017
Little do you know,
In the middle of the night.
When demons come from below,
And the moon begins to shine.
The stars glow,
Husky wind blows,
Dreams begin unfold, untangle and play,
The Orchestra plays till the light of the next day.
The sun rises,
Night Critters hide,
Dreams are blown,
Where they'll go nobody knows,
And all this happens in the middle of the night,
The little critters that have danced and entertained,
Now the morning is light,
The critters crawl away.

But i ain't ever growing up.
I'm proud to be your little boy
And your little boy is coming home

Raise Your Cups
Max Vale Aug 2017
Singing rock to the top of our lungs,
With sweet drink on the tip of our tongue.
What we have done its history,
Raise your cups to our victory!

Drowning in bottles of fame,
No embarrassment - no shame.
Here we are in the halls of glory,
Raise your cups to our victory!

Now the big party is screaming our name,
The whole audience is going nuts.
Nothing out there can stand in our way,
So raise your cups to the worlds greatest - us!

I love you Lacy thank you singing this song to me as a kid,
I hope you dont mind the tweeks :)
