Positive through the derogatory,
I use the light as my allegory,
There's a happy ending to this sad story,
**** happens so no need to worry,
You can face it there's no need to escape,
Or spend time replaying the tape,
There's still time as long as you wake,
If you never give up then its never to late,
Fight for love, fight for love,
One mind devine from above,
You should be happy just because,
High on life with a nice buzz,
Love life and it'll love you,
Thats just a fact I know is true,
Theres nothing more that you can do,
But let go of hate and just be truly you.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me,
Mistakes and setbacks only become facts when I tell myself I'm not worthy,
Of the beautiful lesson hidden inside when perspective finally shifts,
Opening our eyes so we can recognize that truth is our greatest gift,
There is peace and light when the time becomes right for you to acknowledge love,
Experience gained from hurt and pain is a messege from above,
That's just a figure of speech designed to teach us our true place of origin,
Its not about becoming so just stop running and then life can truly begin,
There's nothing to do no goal to pursue except letting go of what your not,
To become your real self and collect all the wealth of everything you've already got.

Every move you make,
Shapes your reality,
So the next step that you take,
Should follow morality,
Don't conform for heavens sake,
That's a fatality,
Be true to you don't be late,
We form abnormality,
It's a crime wasting time thinking joy we will find,
Outside ourself there's no help just our own peace of mind,
You may be lost and thats fine please just follow the signs,
You can swerve and hit the curb life is not a straight line,
Every choice that you choose,
Could enhance happiness,
And there is nothing to lose,
If your heart is of bliss,
What do you have to prove?,
That's nonsense just quit,
It's not what you see it's how you look at it.

Put all my pain in a tarnished picture frame,
I look back on it and never forget from where I came,
I appreciate the sun more so because of the rain,
No act of love is ever committed in vain,
Too often we forget that every life matters,
Peace is up high and hope is the ladder,
We are all one and the pieces are just scattered,
They say the heart breaks but it could never shatter,
I will never find the words to explain this beauty,
I can just feel its light because it runs through me,
For so long I let my own mind fool me,
Untill I acknowledged being myself was a divine duty.

The pain in the world gave rise to my eyes,
To over look the struggle and see through the demise,
I just ordered a happy meal with a side of surprise,
And I took to the skies because I know time flies,
I'm thankful for the madness,
I was blessed with some sadness,
I'm hoarding hope under my mattress,
That girl Miss understood is just an actress,
I'm thankful for mistakes I happen to make twice,
Just another step on the staircase of life,
I was headed left like I couldn't be right,
But you lose no life over sins I mean Jesus Christ,
If I was never cold i wouldn't appreciate the heat,
If I wasn't young and dumb the older me I wouldn't meet,
You have to fall a few times before you learn to use your feet,
And once you learn to swim there's no ocean to deep.

Keep searching old soul you might find something you missed,
Like there's more then one way to realize true bliss,
And one common component most people choose to dismiss,
It's that reality spawns from our own consciousness,
When we get to know ourselves we call it spiritual,
The highest of truths we consider imperial,
The circle of life is actually more spherical,
It's something so simple yet nothing short of a miracle,
Imagination's best used when it is positive,
So envision a joyful future for yourself to live,
Keep open eye's life's not always descriptive,
Life is fair so don't be a bit vindictive,
I can say for certain I'm utterly amazed,
How many different ways there are out of this maze,
The path is clear once you have eyes to see through the haze,
Get out of the daze and live In peace the rest of your days.

Silence is key,
You won't hear much from me,
I just want to hear,
The whole world is a mirror,
Woke up in a dream,
Things are not what they seem,
Your sight has to be keen,
If you know what I mean,
Seeing through the smoke screen,
Guided by the light beam,
Living out the larger sceam,
***** for truth and yes I feen.

Woke the demons inside to find that monsters aren't real,
Just needed to sort out how I really feel,
Pigs started flying with a beautiful squeal,
Commited to compassion made myself a deal,
Between you or me I see no real difference,
Our bodies run on the same fuel for one simple instance,
Go with the flow cast away resistance,
One foot in front of the other success is persistence,
Go the distance it's really where you've been all along,
Unleash the caged bird to hear the wondrous song,
Life may not seem so short but it's not that long,
Be here now before you wake up gone.

For a time I grew up way too fast,
I had to slow down to make memories last,
Stopped seeing complex and looked to the simple,
I possessed the spark I just needed the kindle,
To ignite the fire of my desires,
Walking thick headed on a super thin wire,
Revamped my cause is what it was,
Stopped playing around when I needed to pause,
These days I lead a life of content,
When I realized nothing is written in cement,
Skeletons in my closet were found when cleaning,
I don't have to find it out I create my own life meaning.

I smile all the time because I don't want to be sad,
I work towards my goals because one day I'll be glad,
I'm on a search so ill start with inside,
And I do fail ill be happy I tried,
Shout out to the movers, the getters, the doers,
Leave the old you behind today couldn't be newer,
I can see in your eyes i can feel through your heart,
Nothings to hard just be willing to start,
This life is a risk so please take your chance,
Might not be a party but still we should dance,
You can cuss at the rain or think of the flower,
You can be super use perspective as power,
Hopped in the rocket told Louie to the moon,
Finally got my chance results coming soon.

Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we learn,
Every ounce of wisdom is something that we earn,
The pages of life they constantly turn,
So self judgment should soon be adjourned,
The doorway is open we need just endure,
Make sure to **** out all the negative allure,
A beautiful future is something we ensure,
Life is subjective by how we infer,
Anger, fear and resentment cloud our sight,
Things might go wrong but that's only a might,
Why think so low when you could take flight?,
Why love any less when it's a new height? ,
Switching perception can feel kind of strange,
Its practiced in aim not from your range,
It's less of losing and more of exchange,
For a better inner world to be self contained,
There we are for so long we've concealed it,
Door number 3 has finally revealed it,
A letter to our hearts and now we must seal it,
Don't think about feeling life and just feel it.

Cold sweats and hot flashes,
Soot covered eye lashes,
Being as the time passes,
Separating from the masses,
Stone cold with a warm heart,
Lifes a show just playing my part,
Sprinting towards dusk from the dark,
One of a kind on Noah's ark,
Keep a stash of motivation,
Coupled with determination,
Collect my thoughts like condensation,
Seeing hope in this sightless nation,
Opportunes I've had a few,
Bowed my head at the churches pew,
Its all apart of this fresh view,
Each days a blessing to start a new.

I'm star crossed and kind of lost,
On my way but it's safe to say,
My destination may change,
Like the season do,
And one things true,
I'm still going still going,
Im up stream still down for rowing,
Light guides me,
The one hides me,
From evil and tyranny,
We are only human and thats fine with me,
What is life?  
Its the birds chirp and the zebras stripe,
Only together can we reach new hights,
Lets hold hands while we venture the night.

I wouldn't be surprised if my eyes were out of tears,
I've seen so much heart ache the last 21 years,
And still here I stand with a smile on my face,
I figure to grow bitter would be such a waste,
Of the beautiful gift my mom and dad gave me,
I hold all the power so I'll use it to save me,
And try as I might sometimes I still get down,
I know the flip side of a smile is a frown,
So I take the bad with the good and remain thankful,
Training this mind to see chaos as tranquil,
With a soul full of hope I have to carry on,
And try to make an inpact before my time is gone,
It hasn't all been good but its all been worth it,
Sometimes wisdom looks like pain on the surface,
Coming to place where you can't handle anymore,
Just shows you your strength and what you can endure,
And so far thats everything because I haven't broken yet,
I wish somethings didn't happen but I have no regrets,
Because the price of pain is knowledge gained,
Like a homeless man begging for change,
Self diagnosed insane because I didn't know my mental,
I think the best thing to do is let this stress make me gentle.

I love you dad.

My brothers are crippled by fear,
These days that's all we hear,
Hate and greed built up over the years,
Leak out of our faces as blood, sweat and tears,
Being spiritual doesn't have to mean religious,
In my opinion thats a little pretentious,
I can't grip why people try to force religion,
Can't we respect everyone and their own decision?
Maybe I'm wrong and I don't understand,
But wasn't religion created by man?
Personally ill choose natural law anyday,
I see no need for all these labels anyway,
You have no reason to live a life afraid,
Your the director, composer, and lead role in your play,
Believe what you want,
But there's no reason to flaunt,
Is it all just a stunt?
Our own ghost is what haunts,
Dont accept one truth without investigating for yourself,
How could you just blindly trust someone else?
I know it can be scary,
That results sometimes vary,
We should rely on love when push comes to shove,
Regardless of what you do choose to believe,
In the end It's the same air we breathe,
Can't we agree to disagree as the we?
And live our lives through peace, love, and harmony?

Thoughts turned into feelings,
Pain turned into healing,
Processes of energy transformations,
Living experiences make the best revelations,
This interconnected web of overlapping realities,
Leaves alot of room for personal subjective fallacies,
Yet deep within the hearts of men lies euphoric clarity,
Words have no place here only clear sight of sincerity,
It's tough to understand this beautiful road we are on,
Life is beautiful the goal is to appreciate it before we're gone.

I just want to be happy,
Nothing more, nothing less,
I just want to learn lessons,
And pass lifes tests,
I just want to enjoy being,
Free from thought completely,
I want the eyes to see,
The miracles that meet me,
Discouraged at times,
Its called being human,
And I know ill realize,
But i don't want to wait for when,
I know thats fantasy,
and those thoughts serve no purpose,
Wishing for what we don't have,
Will surely only hurt us,
Somedays are harder then others,
To just let go and be free,
But thats just life,
I just want to be me.

Who
Will
Care
For
The
Fallen?

If you want to understand where I'm coming from then take your mind to the darkest place it can go, build your wall to keep others out so high that it surpasses the stars and beyond. Closed your mind, lose hope, and let hate engulf your being completely. Then imagine living like this for 10 years. All of the sudden one day, for whatever reason, you consider the fact that maybe your wrong and that there is still good in the world. That your not alone and being happy is a choice not a circumstantial emotion. Realize only in complete darkness can you truly appreciate the light. Realize there is a reason for existence and its to find our way home while loving and aiding others in the same journey. Us humans, we are just billions of pieces of the same puzzle and only when we fit together can we perceive the bigger picture. We may be at different levels but those levels are just different steps on the same staircase. Maybe if you can consider even trying to see me with eyes of understanding, them maybe I can understand you too.

As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
The only thing we can do is do our best,
On the journey of life there is no map quest,
But you do have a compass beating inside your chest,
Unfortunately life isn't an open book test,
Thankfully life is what you decide nothing more, nothing less,
To live serenity all your short comings you must confess,
There's not much more to say and so I digress,
Through out the world beats one singular pulse,
You think your a lost cause and I say that's false,
To understand you must rise up off your knees,
Wake up and feel the magic in the breeze,
Its time to live up to your full potential,
Inside your being awaits the ultimate credentials,
Ill tell your exsistence is not one forsaken,
Im sorry but this resistance has you mistaken,
Our mission is one that is never over,
You can definitely make it without a four leaf clover,
Just ignore the little demon perched up on your shoulder,
Spirituality is being drunk on ego working to get sober,
Hold on positivity endures,
Thats hope and its the one wonder cure,
Lets walk hand in hand on our way through the unknown,
We are lost together just following the bread crumbs home.
