To those who have stood by my side
Who chose not to walk out the door
Fueling and enduring my whacky ride
Who knows what left we have in store

I'd like to begin with a big thank you
A loving hug and even a kiss too
You guys are my brick wall
Keeping my structure standing tall

Even when you're not around
You've kept my feet on the ground
Either you've all kept me sane
Or maybe together we're all going insane

But no matter how my journey ends
Remember forever we are the best of friends
Even through all the insanity
You are all still my family
For all those who have been there for me

The airs chilling howl
Screaming its sorrows
The skies thundering cry
Draining its eyes dry

Pain flows along the winds
Coarsing our skin
Drowning in the tears
Chilling to the vein

But behind all this pain
I see cheerful times
Plants are blooming
In the wind the tree chimes

Birds are now chirping
The sun poking his eye
Through a tear in the grey mask
Mask fading, uncovering the sky

I lay my head, drifting....
To the land of dreams
A paradise of endless creating
A temporal displacement of the seams

A world of no boundaries
Plains of expansive imagination
Diving into an array of stories
A creative imagination invasion

Transcendent angels, greasy ghouls
Some dreams amazing, others well...
Nightmares trap our souls
Until an otherworldly bell tolls

Jarred and torn awake
Morning time already
Wishing it all fake
Missing my world of confetti

Good night, sleep tight my child
Dream your heart wild

It's come to a point in time
For just some random rhymes
Rhyming in a random way
For when there isn't much to say

Just flow with your feelings
Let them bounce off the ceilings
It will roll off your tongue
It will be heard and be sung

It's not hard at all
Just try starting small
And the more you rhyme
Shall make it sublime

Enjoy each line
And every word you sign
Keep it with your heart
And it will flow into pure art

When will she walk into my life
Will I know she'll be my wife
The door is open for her now
Awaiting the one I'll share a special vow

I dream of the day that we meet
Filling the feeling of being incomplete
She is a gorgeous diamond, shining
A smile ever so admiring

A sparkling star of my dreams
May not be today but someday it seems

You see me as something different
And the fact is true to that
Each and every one of us
Is as unique as every other

So when you say I'm quirky
Remember your just the same
We all have our traits
And our quirky other sides

So just remember one
I am who I am and you who you are
So see me from close
Not from afar

We are just the same
Unique like every other
All differences alike
With our own view on life
