I saw you standing there all crying all alone
The tyrant in your life that you could not dethrone
When did you become such a poor lost soul
When did you lose all control
I see it as an old lost tale
One that repeats silently beneath the veil
From the depths of hell you came
Into this never ending repeat frame
You never really ever understood
Why people didn't try when they could
You hated to see them make a wrong choice
And forever they will lay without a voice
You tried to reach out with love
All you received was a push and a shove
This world it doesn't care
About what is right and what is fair
Those are meaningless things in this day and age
Everyone is filled with greed, lust, and rage
So we will forever just sit here and burn
Waiting on the final return
The day we that we leave this life
Get away from all of our strife
You are a fool deep down inside
You don't even know with who to confide
No matter what is going on inside your head
Remember that when you lay down in bed
Being alive is privilege and a gift
Denied to many as they fall into the rift
I don't care about your past
It doesn't start you in last
But who you are today
That is how you should determine your way
Look around and see who you are
And you'll see me standing from afar
Waiting for you give it your all
When you plunge under and take the fall
That is when I shall take your pain
And make it into my own gain
I will drag you down straight back to hell
And remind you of the pain when you fell
Forever and ever will I torment your soul
In a deep dark never ending hole
So go ahead and cry
I won't tell you another lie
No one will hear
No one will tear
This is your last story
Where are those blazes of glory?

All my life I have stood behind
Never the first thought on anyone's mind
Always sitting here alone
I've got no messages on my phone
As I look into the light
I don't see too much that is right
Why is there so much pain?
A thought that is always on my brain
I've stopped a dozen suicides
I've seen through a million lies
I can see what you really feel
I know what is really real
I've fed the homeless
And given hope to the hopeless
I don't try to be Jesus
But I care about the least of us
I'm really far from good
But I try to do as is should
I never hold on to any friend's
But I always try to make amends
I help them through their strife
But in the end it's not my life
I'm returned to myself
Content to sit as a picture on a shelf
When I need someone to lean my shoulder on
Why are they always so far gone
It always hurts but I don't know why
When did I become the catcher in the rye?

I've written you a love song
I've never done you any wrong
Yet you keep saying to me
That we could never be
I don't quite understand why
I'm not sure why I even try
But there's something inside that won't let me stop
So outside your door is where I'll set up shop
Waiting for you to realize
I understand and I sympathize
You keep saying you want to stay friends
And with those other guys you keep trying to make amends
Why do you even care about them?
They only live life on a whim
Your heart has been broken again and again
Loving for you has almost become a sin
But I write to you this simple note
It's a short thing that I just wrote
I want one thing and nothing less
So please, just circle yes.

Will you give me and love a chance?

**Yes

I've been here before,
I'm not trying to ignore.
The fact that I am here again,
Somehow I just can't win.
These games of love and hate,
I somehow lose myself in the wait.
So I end up wasting the times,
And honestly I'm running out of rhymes.
So maybe I just won't fall in love anymore,
Maybe I'm tired of my heart being sore.
I've lost just about everything,
and clipped both of my own wings.
As I start to fall back down to Earth,
does anything I do have any worth?
I feel so alone,
And I just stare at my phone.
Waiting for the words I fear,
Knowing that they will always appear.
And once again I am all by myself,
I'll just put my broken heart on a shelf.
Never to be used in this life,
I can't take another bit of strife.
I'm just so tired of it all of this sadness,
All of this madness.
The world keeps throwing at me,
Why won't you just let me be!
Cause all that I ever wanted was to fall in love,
To spread my wings just like a dove.
But I find myself sitting here,
with the only feelings that I can hold dear.
Sorrow and loneliness,
Hatred and unhappiness.
They drag me down,
I hope I never drown.
And I don't know just how long I can last,
Could I ever put these things in my past?
The way that this cruel world works,
The way that the devil always lurks.
I am running out of strength move ahead,
And I lay here in my bed.
But I have chosen to face all my fears,
And dry up all my never ending tears.
To stand and never fall down,
To keep moving ahead wearing a golden crown.
I never chose to be this way,
But once again back into the fray.
I'm just so tried of the fall,
I'm tired of it all.

I look up to the sky
And I wonder why
The clouds are so grey
Yet it never rains
What kind people are we
That we can still stand free
And right next door
The children are so poor
There was a ****** down the street
But to the killer he was just a loaf of wheat
Here for just a little while
Before becoming out of style
Can it ever be changed
Here in these messed up plains
And when it finally rains
It doesn’t wash away the pain
We are left in misery
Yet it’s just a simple mystery
It’s an easy task
Just remove the mask
To reveal who we are
It’s not too far
We can change today
Just like in a play
And we can change our way
Into a world without Dismay
I look up to the sky
And I wonder why
The sun is shining bright
Yet we don’t stand in the light

Little girl 13 walks into the convenient store,
Thinking about her vacation as she walks through the door.
She grabs a bag of chips and a couple packs of coke.
Little did she know the man standing over by the clerk,
Had a 45 tucked into his belt.
He turned around and walked up to the girl,
Took her into his arms and held the gun to her head.
She screamed at the feeling of metal on her face.
The man told the clerk to get out all the cash,
But the clerk had a different idea forgetting about the girl.
He grabbed his ole shotgun and held to the man.
By the time he had it aimed the little girl hit the floor,
And what felt like an eternity they stood and watched.
Till the man turned and aimed at the clerk,
Before he could respond he fell and looked up,
As the world around him slowly faded.
The man walked to the register and took out all the cash,
Surprised when he saw just a hundred bucks.
He turned and walked out the door thinking of the mess,
And in his mind he thought was it all worth it.

Little girl 13 walks up to the pearly gates,
Thinking where I am and what is this.
She walked up to a big bearded man,
He said your name is written here please go on.
As she turned and looked back she saw thousands of people,
All of them walked up to the very same man.
But the little boy behind her,
Only 10 years old asked the man if he could go.
The man said sorry little boy,
Your name is not written here I’m afraid you can’t go in,.
Another man walked over and picked the boy up,
Took him to a black gate and opened it up.
The boy said he was scared and didn’t want to go,
The man said sorry this really hurts me too.
He threw the boy into the gate,
The next thing she saw was a fire surrounding him.
Then in that instant he was gone.
She was rushed along through the gates,
As she walked thinking of what she saw,
A little old lady walked up with open arms.
Stunned in silence the girl look at her face,
And went instantly into her arms.
It was the first time she had seen her grandmother in years.
They walked along through the pearly gates,
And a thought crossed her mind,
This vacation will never end.

We are all human
We were never made to stay inside
Open your eyes and see the beauty
That has never left your sight
It’s time for us to return back to who we were
Back to where we belong
We were made to explore the world
To see new sights and climb new heights
We can dive deeper
We can fly higher
And even further into the sky
An entire universe just waiting to be found
But it starts right here
It starts right now
Just take that first step
And walk outside
Into the open wide
And feel the sunlight on your shoulders
Feel the breeze in your hair
Sing with birds
And climb a tree
The world is bigger than you can ever see
Before you go
Into that big blue world we call home
I want you to remember one little thing
No matter how high you fly
No matter how deep you dive
Every little adventure starts here
It starts just like this
With a gleam in your eye
With the breeze in your hair
And the sunlight on your shoulders

Little boy just 10 years old riding his bike down along the street
He couldn’t have known that today was his last day out in the summer heat
As he peddled along and began to round the bend
He couldn’t have known that his life was just about to end

Young man just 17 driving down the road in his new car
On his way home from a friends that day and the drive wasn’t far
Yet he had the dangerous taste of alcohol on his brain
And the road was still wet from last night’s rain

The boy and man locked eyes for only just a moment
The fateful moment came and was met with the devils consent
The car went full force into the bike
The aftermath was a sight that no living soul would like

Young man just 17 riding in the car to a jail
He couldn’t have known that today his future would set sail
The little boy had died and his father just sat and wept
That night the man never slept

Young woman just 17 that sat opposite the man in a cell of her own
Bruises and cuts covered her body and scars had been sewn
She was just as broken as the man had felt
But for her justice would never be dealt

Her own family had betrayed her love and trust
She sat there torn and hurt with a heart starting to rust
No hope in sight and no one to comfort her
Her cries and tears and made the man’s face begin to slur

The man asked the woman about her life and what was she in for
The woman replied in a voice so sad and she didn’t want any more
She didn’t want to feel life’s cruel sting
She looked at her hand and threw away her mother’s ring

The man looked over and picked it up with just a smile
He looked at her and stared for just a while
Only one thing came to his mind in that short time
No one knew why that day but he said to her will you be mine

The woman so confused and sad looked up and just cried
The man sat there with her by her side
From that day on they were never apart
Eventually those lives would be put back on start

Little boy just 10 years old smiled down to earth
Known that his life was spent making someone else gain worth
He forgave that man for his mistake that day
He had forever ahead of him and no one was standing in his way
