(Out of the shadow)

You have locked your heart away
from tomorrows hope’s and dreams
You now live in your own darkness
and hiding from how the world seems

The safest way you learn to know
from the past that  life has showed you
But eventually it will eat your soul
And take the person you once knew

To trust ourselves is the only way
And don’t let them steal your joy
Always keep your faith to the very end
It will protect you when they try to destroy

The sun will shine again my friend
so you can come out of the shadows
You will see life’s beauty once again
then you will grow just like a rose

The Lost poet

(I’m sorry I Fell )

     I have fallen once again
     It doesn’t matter who or when
     It will always be on me
     This is what they want to see

      They will judge me on my past
      The last of the family outcast
      I don’t know which way to go
      It’s eating at my heart and my soul

      My body is growing weak
      I’m turning into a freak
      But I still will fight my fight
     Even if the future is not too bright

     I will try not to get the blues
    But it’s not easy walking in my shoes
    The real secrets I hold I cannot tell
    Once again, I’m really sorry that I fell


The Lost Poet

I grab onto the ledge
As a grip it tight
I can’t breathe
I’m losing my fight

I had a dream last night
of an old dirt road
It was an old junk truck
carrying a heavy load

As it came to the end
it slowly disappeared
First I didn’t understand
it was something I feared

Sometimes we have to let go
and feel the serpents kiss
Just remember to never say
I can’t do this

Here you go my friends  

                                            ( The Me Inside Me )      


                                        when your world is lost
                                           before you are born.
                                             life can be hard
                                               life will be torn.

                                         Your born with things
                                           that dwell inside.
                                         Its a matter of time
                                          before they divide.

                                            you lose control
                                              of what is real .    
                                        there goes our minds
                                         here comes there pill.        
                                      
                                              I had to creat
                                            a deadly defence.
                                              Against myself
                                            at my on expense.
                                    
                                             I fought for years
                                              just to be free.
                                           But how do you fight
                                            the me inside me ?

( I’ll Meet You There )

Across the fields of gold
I see my place of destiny
In my new world of calmness
I will finally find my serenity

Over the shining sea I go
with my wings of pearl white
I’ll fly off into the nights sky
and drift away into the moons light

My spirit within helps me believe
in a world beyond what we see
Across the mountains where I grew up
my soul,it fly’s so high and free

I will meet you there my friend
when the world pushes you away
I know I’ll see you there old friend
and like the old times we can play

No More sorrow no more pain
In this new beautiful world I’ll know
Hope to see the rainbow bridge
And all the streets will glow

The Lost Poet

As the morning mist
          drifts away to die
        It’s just another day
       with a tear in her eye

          She is growing older
     but still don’t understand
       Why her life feels like
         an empty wasteland

            She does not see
         the good in her past
         Then thought her life
              is going to fast

     When she came to realize
  tears are shared by everyone
  She learned to except her life
         until her time is done

(We’re All Afraid)

                 Lost inside ourselves
                we know we are alone
            The wise holds the strength
               to the future unknown

                  From a child to a man
               we try to show no fear
                But in the mist of reality
                     life is so unclear

                        On the outside
            we shine like a golden stone
                     But in the inside
                where afraid and alone

                In my brothers eyes
               I can see his despair
            But he can end his pain
             with just a little prayer
