Walk with me along my path in life
You might see me through different eyes

Waterfall splashing upon the rocks
Mist and foam collide
Waterfall cleaning the river above
from what others have left behind

Clink
Clink
the glasses chime together
As another toast is made

Clink
Clink
To much to drink
As I fall
Flat on my face

To the best of times
To the worst of times
Our friendship has lasted though it all

In joys we celebrated together
In sadness we shed tears together
In our weak times
We carried each other

A toast
A toast my friend
To the long life we have shared

Kids graduations
Each others weddings
Birthdays
Halidays
back yard BBQs
Backyard football games
We’ve been friends through it all

A toast
A toast my friend

To the long life we have shared

Rise up
Don’t let others hold you down
Rise up
Don’t let others hold you back

Stand up
Stand tall
Speak out
Let your voice be heard

Don’t let anyone oppress you
No matter how hard they try
Continue being yourself at all times

In being who you are
Be the best
For you can only be you

Don’t follow
Lead
Strike out new paths
Seek new adventure
Test yourself daily

Challenge your limits
Then

Stretch yourself beyond them

Full moon
Snow fall
Hot coca in hand
Fire blazing away
Laying here in front of the fireplace
Next to my loved one

Soft music play
Wrapped in blankets
Together
In love

The perfect winter night

My heart is on fire
As death surrounds me
A bottomless pit of empty space
Emotionless void

I try to cry out
Put there is only silence
A vacum ***** away my words
Before they can make a sound

The only sound comes from
The tormented souls
In anguish and pain
They sound all around me
Entering my mind and soul
Tearing me apart

And driving me crazy

Every time we’re apart
I lose a bit of my heart

Every time you go away

My heart breaks

We stare into each other’s eyes
The truth
The passion
We both see in them

A longing as old as time itself
Primal in lust
Primal in emotion
Primal in animalistic desire

We stare into each other’s eyes
Passion feels us both
Urges overtake us
We lose control
And fall upon the bed
In madness
In insanity
In pure honest animalistic joy

Like two pigs wallowing in the mud
We twist
We turn
We snort and squeal

Like two cobras attacking each other
We strike again, and again, and again
We strike with passion
We strike with joy
We strike ecstasy

Sweat pours all around us
The sent of ****** purity is in the air

Soon
All to soon
It is finished
We relax
We slumber

We sleep

He walks in the shadows
Hides from the world
A disfigured man
Alone and afraid

He did not ask to be this way
The events in his life just happened
Disfigured from an accidennt
Scared all over

Most look upon him as a freak
Most just pass by
The few friends he has
His only support

He is an outcast
Living on the street
Staying where others can’t see him

BBQ
Friends and family gather near
Meat and veggies on the grill
Smoke smells so good
Laughter
Games Fun

I love you
You are awesome
Your friendship I hold dear
We laugh together
We pick on each other
We share in each other's joys
We comfort each other when needed

I can not think of anyone else
I would rather have in my life right now
but you

You have touched my life in so many ways

Days are long and hot
makes me go to the lake a lot
Fishing
Swimming
and so much more
Hiking
Biking
Trails galore

Summer
Summer
A time for joy
For every girl
For every boy

Rise up now
Stand up for your self
Stand up for humanity

Show them that we live
Show them we are not robots

We live
We laugh
We learn

We are not programmed

We are not machines
We are human

we have feelings
We have thoughts
That are our own

Though humanity is becoming a rare thing
The machines are rising
Taking over our jobs
Taking over our lives

We need to stand up now
OR
Humanity will be lost forever

Hay swaying in the wind
Cows in the field
Donkey and goats in the barn lot
Farming is the way life goes

Up with the sun
Work all day
Fixing fence
Moving hay

Cutting wood
down by the creek
Wolves
Bears
Mountain Lions
I hope I don't meet

I love you
I hope you know that
My life without you would be empty

You have been there through it all
the good
The bad
And everything in between

You have enriched my life
I hope I have done the same for you

I've said it before
I 'll say it again
You're the AWESOME one
I'm just trying to keep up

It’s a party
Song
Dance
Food


Feel the love
Feel the joy
Of friends and family near


Drink
Raise your glasses in cheer
Dance
Feel the freedom in movement and joy
Eat
Fill your stomaches refresh your soul
Laugh
Long and hard as jokes are told and stories are shared


It’s a party
Enjoy this time

Evil is everywhere
There is no place to hide


You try
And
You try
But it seems like the evil just gets wose


A dark cloud looms over head
Death and destruction abound
A beautiful land turned to waste
It seems hopeless


Do not loose hope
Remain in the light
Evil will be no more
All will be made right


I know things look dark now
With all that’s going on
Just stand your ground
Trust in the Lord and be strong

Blood flows like a mighty river
An emotional whirlpool
Tries to pull me under


I try and I try
But I can not get a grip
Sarrow flows like a mighty storm within my heart
The force of which
Will tear me apart


Darkness fills my sight
Blindness
Like the darkest night


I see nothing
I hear nothing
I smell nothing
Yet it is out there
Waiting to feast
Waiting to devour

Emotions like this is a beast
Waiting for the ****
Waiting to eat

the phone rings
The police on the other line
A two car accident
They said your body was found in one of the cars


My life ends
I  can’t catch my breath


My love
My life
Dead they tell me


My love
My life
The mother of my children
The rock upon which my life stands


Taken from me
Ripped from the life we had together
Torn away

How do you say goodbye to a dear friend
Someone you laughed with
Someone you cried with
You made memories together


How do you say goodbye to a good friend
Someone like family
Someone closer than family
You had fights
You made up
You hated each other
You became friends again


How do you say goodbye to a good friend
A pal
A companion
A heart of gold
With a devilish smile


How do you say goodbye to an old friend
Someone you grew up with
Someone you knew your whole life

How do you say goodbye to an old friend

Let’s go
Pedal to the metal
Rubber to the road


Heading down the highway
As the world passes by


Sights to see
Places to go
Adventure bound

The void
The unknown
Dark and scary


To chance to partake
An adventure
A chance to stretch your limits
A chance to grow


To learn
To excell
To acheive


However
The void
Could go the other way


Death
Destruction
Damnation


The void
A mysteriuos spot
Will it lead you
To personal growth
Or
Will it lead you
To your own death


You will never know
Until you step in
The void

Sleep
Slumber
Dream


The troubles of the world
Locked outside
A world of your creation
Locked inside your mind


Sleep
Slumber
Dream


Relax
Renergize
The body
The mind
The soul


Sloop
Slumber
dream

A hug
A gesture of kindness
A show of compassion and care


Friendship
Family
Trust
Honor
Gentelness


A light in dark times
Warmth in the coldness of the world
Color
Within the grey


A hug
So simple
Yet
Says so much

I love you
I love you
I love you


How can I be more plain
How can I make you see more clear


I’ve tried
And
I’ve tried
Everything I know
To let you see
How much you mean to me


You are my life
The very air I breathe
The very water that I drink


Without you
There is no life for me
Only darkness and decay
Only bitterness and hate


You are my stronghold
My safe haven
From life’s stormy blasts
From life’s battles


I love you
I love you
I love you

Let’s dance
Share a moment in time together
Hand in hand
Step in step
Our hearts beat to the rhythm of the music


Let’s  dance
Waltzing
Twirling
Gliding
One moment in time
A lifetime of memories

Run
Faster
Faster
Feel the wind in your face
Feel the freedom of movement

A little sanity
Within insane times
A little peace and calm
Within the chaos


Is that to much two ask
Or am I just dreaming
Is there still hope
Or is all lost


Up
Down
Left
Right
Spinning in circles


Confusion
Death
Destruction
The world turned
Upside down
Inside out


Guns being shut
People going to jail
People being locked up in their own homes
Locked up like prisoners


Freedom lost
Freedom denied
That door is shut
Shut forever


You look and you look
All you see is
Hurting
Torture
Pain
Tears


Peace is all I ask
Can we have a littl

Down the dark hallways of my mind
What secrets
What horrors
Lay in the dark corners

Like a roller coaster
Life has it’s ups and downs
It’s twists and turns
It’s loops


Take the ever changing tide of life
Meet it head on
When life throws you a curve
Hit a home run


Do not shrink at life’s troubles
Learn the lesson
Become stronger
Become better

Trapped in a cage of emotional torment
Walled in by fear and pain

Heart beat
A pounding rhythm
A sign of life
And
A sign of love


One heart beat
Two heart beats
Pounding in time with each other

Don’t look at people with just your eyes
Look at them with you heart as well
I promise you will see everyone in a whole new way
Not everyone travels upon the same road of life you do
Instead of judging try to understand

My love is the spark
That lights the flame
Within your heart

My love falls like the rain
And
Falls into a puddle in your heart

I die a little
Every time we part
A part of me
Fades away to nothing
As I suffer from a broken heart

Come travel with me upon the yellow brick road
Come travel with me to parts unknown

Climbing trees
Fishing in the lake
Running through the fields
Being a country boy is fun

From the mountain tops of life’s joys
To the dark firey pits of life’s hell
We will go together

I am your brother
I am your friend
I am here to help you
In whatever way I can

I don’t care how long the journey
I don’t care how rough the rough
No matter what life throws at us
Together we will go

When you feel you will stumble and fall
Lean on me wden you need to
Draw strength from me when need to
I will help you through it all

I don’t care if you drag me down with you
In an emotional whirlpool
Together we will find the strength to swim
Together we will find the strength to fight

Together we will find the strength to overcome

Can we talk
I mean really talk
If your phone rings
Will you ignore it
Or
Will I be put on hold while you answer it

Can we talk
If the phone rings
Will you ignore it
Or
Must I say everything in a hurry
To try and get it all in

Do I even matter
Or do I have to slit my wrist
Letting my blood flow like a mighty river
Will you listen
Will you listen then

I know I don’t talk much
But
Every so often
I have things I need to discuss

I have fears
I hurt
I need to know someone is there

Can I lay down my life’s problems
Can I open up
And share what is on my mind

Can we talk
Or
Am I just wasting my breathe

I am the kind of person who
When you throw me to the wolves
I’ll return leading the pack

I am the kind of person who
When sent to fight the enemy
Will return with his enemy’s head held high
Screaming a victory chant

I am the kind of person who
You can’t shut down
You can’t shut up
No matter how hard you try

I am the kind of person
With no filters
What you see

Is what you get

Depression is an acid
That slowly
Eats away
Your heart and soul

Depression is a void
From which
There is no escape

You lose interest in things that used to bring you such joy
You fade away from the people you love and care about

Depression is a piece of fly paper
Once it sticks to you
You can never get it off

Depression is a killer
Sneaking up behind you
To stab you in the back

You no longer see in color all is gray
You no longer feel true joy just an empty facade

Depression is a hole in your heart
An emptiness
A vacant spot
An icy tomb
To never be warm

Depression is putting a smile on your face
When all you want to do is die
Cast off leave the world behind

You smile so the world doesn’t see the pain
You smile so the world doesn’t see the fear

Depression is being sad and not knowing why
A constant rain cloud above you
No light just gloom

Depression is always fearing the worst will happen
Depression is a car spinning out of control
Depression is a tornado inside destroying your life
Depression is voices from your past that even afters years
They still haunt you
Teasing
Laughing
Tearing you down bit by bit

Depression is never seeing yourself as good enough

Some guy in your past hurt you
Now you hate every member of the male gender

Fine
I really don’t care
But please

Don’t judge this man
I have and never will do anything against you
Stop treating me like i some form of acid
Here to slowly eat you away

I mean you no harm
I never did
I never will

I know some guy in your past hurt you in a bad way
Not all men are like that
And frankly
I am getting tired of the accusing looks

The your judgemental views

I am proud of who I am
I am proud of what I’ve accomplished

No the road has not been easy
No I do not like the person I was

But

All that mess
All that pain
All that suffering
All the joy
Friends lost
Friends gained
Every aspect of my life

Has made me who I am
And

I am proud of that

Naked I stand before the world
Not a physical nakedness
But emotional

Every hurt
All my pain
The river and ocean of tears
All layed bare for the world to see

My life’s journey
My joys
My struggels
My faults
My failures

All on display
For the woeld to see
All on display
For the world to judge

Every scab
Every cut
Every scare

A testimony of life
Life lived
Life rejected
Life learned
Life regained

Naked
I stand befor the world
Not physical nakedness

But emotional

I stand and speak my mind
But I am told to
Sit down and shut up
I speak for those who can not
Again I am told to
Sit down and shut up

No
There are people out there
Hurting
Dying
Hungry
I will not ignore them
As so many haver

They cry out to me
I have answered them
Now I cry out on their behalf

I have seen their tears
I have heard their children cry in hunger
Because their parents can not feed them
I have seen these people wear the same clothes day after day
Because they have nothing to change into

Yet
You tell me to sit down and shut up

No
Not until these people have shelter
Not until these people have food to eat
Not until these people have clean clothes to wear

I will not sit down
I will not shut up
These people need a voice

And I am it

I want to start a revolution
To find a solution
To America’s Race problem

Red
Yellow
Black
White
Brown

A canvas of colors
A painting of humanity

Why can we not celebrate of differences
Why must we look down on each other

Are we all not human
Why must we act ike wild beasts toward each other

Life would be boring
If we were all the same
Life would be bland

Each color
Each ethnic group
Each culture
Brings spices and flavors to our lives
This would is a melting ***

We need each other
No matter where you are from

Let us celebrate

Not hate

I cry for my sins
I cry for my mistakes
But
I don’t just cry for myself

I cry for the insanity of the world
I cry for senseless killing death and decay
The child hungry and scared
Living in the streets with no where to go

I cry for the abused
Those who get beat up
Beaten into a ****** lump
By those who were supposed to love them
By total strangers just looking for a good time

I cry for the corruption of others
Police
Military
And others
Who find it easier to do what is wrong
Just to make a quick buck

I cry for polititions
Who continually lie to the American public
Who constantly look out for their own interests
Instead of listening to the American people

I cry for our school children
Who time and time again can not get the education they need
To help them prepare for the future
To help lead successful lives

I cry for
Crime
Gangs
Turf wars
Making the inner cities unsafe
Making  America unsafe

I cry for our military
And for lose who gave thier all
And sacrificed everything
So freedom could remain

I cry for those who can not cry themselves
I cry for those without a voice

So thier needs may be heard

Fly
Fly free
Free as the wind blows
No holding back
No slowing down
Just go

Fly
Lift off
And never tough down
Higher and higher
Into the sky

Fly
To places unknown
The mystery
The awesomeness
The wonder
