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

Where did we go wrong
I thought we would last foever

We started out as childhood friends
That is how our love began
Growing stronger as the years went by

Then one day we said "I do"
Thus starting our wedded bliss.
Two kids
House
Great jobs
All seamed perfect
All seemed right

Until the day you said goodbye
You took the kids
Leaving me alone.

Now I drown myself in tears
Wishing you were still here

A slash here
A cut there
Letting the blood flow
Pouring out the pain
I have felt for so long

Another slash
Another cut
More blood to wash away bad memories
Of abuse
Hatred
Teasing
Laughing
All these things stuck inside my head
Going round and round Like a merry-go-round inside me
Tears fall Blood flows

Another slash
Another cut
I am starting to hate myself
No one likes me
They all treat me like some sort of joke
They poke their fun
They have their laugh
While I am dying inside
While drop by drop
Until I breath my last

Another slash
Another cut
The world starts to fade
No one comes to my aid
I fall to the ground
I black out

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

She was taken from her family
At a young age
Sold as a slave
She works hard labor
During the day
She preformed ****** favors
At night

She's been beaten
Molested
Broken
Scared for life
The bruises a ****** purple

Her only friend
Another
Like her
Bought and sold
Into slavery at a young age

Together they fight to hang on
Together they draw strength
To make it day after day

Both beaten
Both abused
Together as friends

Darkness of the world
Desends upon my soul
The smile from your face
Fills me with the light of hope


The world tries to get in my way
One look at your smile
Clears the way

I wear a mask so you can't see

The emotion and hurt

That's slowly killing me

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

Beer
Whiskey
And wings

Pool
Card games in the back
Dart boards

Fun times are always had
With friends like you
Singing
Dancing
Just having fun

Beer
Burgers and fries
Tacos

Fun never ends
Rather you’re family
Or just feel like a part of the gang
Everyone is welcome
Don’t be shy

Just come on in

The machine is out there churning away
Slowly asserting it's power over the people
You think you have a choice
You don't

The machine conforms
It destroys individualism
It destroys Idealism
You must bend to what it wants

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

The bar
Friends
Laughter
Fun

The bar
Food
Drinks
A good time

The bar
When you’re here
We treat you like family
One of the gang

The bar
Memories
Darts
Pool
Card games

A place ro relax
A place to be yourself
A place to laugh
A place to cry

Everyone knows your name
Everyone is happy to see you
Once you walk through the door
You are kin
You are family

The bar

A home away from home

Expand your mind
Open up your soul
Everything is not as simple as black and white

Stretch your limits
Reach higher than ever before
See life in a new way
Enjoy life like never before

Expand your mind
Stretch your thoughts
Express yourself
Like never before

Open up
Do not stay closed

Let your mind be open to all that is around you

Challenge me
Make me stronger
Make me see

Challenge me
Make my mind grow
Make me think

Life has it's lessons
Things to teach us as we go
The path isn't always easy
As you may know

But each challenge
life hands you
is a time to grow

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

They may think I'm crazy
But I don't care
I'm one of a kind
I am who I am
So some people stare

They can't handle
That I'm true to myself
I do not conform
To what the world says is the norm

I stand out
I stretch my limits
I walk my own path

Most people think I am strange
They just laugh

Let them
Doesn't bother me
I'm to real
Blazing trails they fear to tread

Them and their peer pressure
Who needs it
Gives me a headache
Just thinking about it

I may walk alone
but I truly am not alone
I have friends
Friends how understand

I am who I am
I got to be me

Raise your glass
Raise it high
Let there be good cheer
Upon this night

For our troubles
Which hunt us dear
Seem so far
when friends are near

Drink your health
Drink it well
Fun and laughter
Voices swell

Drink
Laugh
Dance
And more
Go tumbling my friends
out the door

Drink until your glass runs dry
You can not walk straight
Nor can I

To cry

To open the emotional flood gates and let it flow
Drowning your pain
Washing out our heart and soul
Ready for a new start

Here on the rooftop we sit.
Watching the sunset
The stars come out and shine

A brand new day
The sunrise
Here on the rooftop
We still lie

Dance for the joy of life

Dance to the rhythm of the soul

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

Water is soft
Yet
It can tear down walls
Destroy mountains
Move objects

May my soul
Be like the water
Soft
Yet
Strong enough
To deal with whatever comes my way

As a mighty waterfall
My blood streams through my vines
My heart pounds every time you are near
Just the sight of you
Just the sound of your voice
Is enough to get my emotions stirring

The song of a goddess
A melody from heaven above
Reaches down to my soul

A soul once dark
Now alive with your spark
You light up my life
With your tenderness and love

Thank you for being a part of my life

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

Long haul trucker
Running down the road
18 wheels
For your heavy load

Across the country
Highways and byways
Small towns and big cities

Hook up the rig
Off on another run
Moving down the Highway
Running down the sun

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

A friendly game of cards
Poker
Blackjack 21
Take your pick
No gambling just friends sitting around a table
Drinking beer
Eating snacks
And playing cards conversation light
Laughing telling jokes
Memories remembered
Memories made

Lean on me
I am your friend
I will stick with you
Till the very end

Lean on me
Use my shoulder to cry on
Find comfort

Lean on me
Let us walk life's road together
Side by side
Going wherever life leads
Taking on adventure

Stars
Moon
Asteroids
Comets

Just a few of the wonders of the univers

Black holes
Vortex of spinning gases
Worlds beyond belief

Space the final frontier

The human mind
Would explode
If it tried to take it all in

The majesty
The power
The  Grandness

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

The ole swimming hole
Oh what fun we had
Going out over the water on the rope swing
Then letting go with a splash
Splash fights with each other
Pulling one another under the water
Finding things in the mud

She walked into the room
My heart fluttered
She spoke
I was in Heaven

Beer
Snacks
Cards in hand
Friends gathered around the table

Chips cast
Bets made
Tanse looks upon everyone’s face

Food consumed
Beer drank
Conversation light and funny

Friends just shooting cards
Having a good time

Causing no harm

Space
The vastness
The wonder
The Majesty

Space
Infinite beauty
Solar systems, planet, galaxies, and more

Strange creatures
Strange lifeforms
All one in the great design

Her name was Jordan
Beautiful in
Mind
Body
And soul

She was strong
Both in body
And in heart

She used her heart
To reach out to those around her
Bring comfort when needed
Helping wherever she could

So when the war hit
It was not surprising that she was in a medic outfit
Helping wounded soldiers heal

After the war
Her wounds could not heal
Mentally
Emotionally
She started a downhill slide

She stopped taking care of herself like she should
She just stopped caring

Even though she had left the war many years behind
The war never truly left her
Haunted by the images of that time
Haunted by the cries of the ones she could not save

Yes, it had been many years
But it all seemed like it was happening that very moment

She tried therapy
She tried talking to others who dealt with the same poblem

Sadly however she finally just drifted away
Leaving it all behind
Going from town to town
Never staying to long

She has become a homeless drifter
All in an effort to deal with the pain
All in an effort to deal with her past

Black
White
Gender
Sexuality
Nationality
Race

Just a few words
They use to separate us
Why

Power
That's why
They know if we keep fighting
Amongst ourselves
They can control us
They can use us

They fear what they don't understand
So they call it evil
And they get everyone on the bandwagon
Like a bunch of suckers

Don't let them use you
Don't let them control you
There is nothing wrong with people who are different

I miss you
Every moment we are a part
Is an eternity

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

He is the Shadow Knight
The most feared creature ever known
Death and destruction
Are his calling

His deeds are many and gruesome
Beheadings
Ripping people apart
Hangings
Just to name a few
And all these and even worse things
He does for pure fun

Sword
Dagger
Poison darts

Crossbow
Flaming arrows
Even the magical arts

Going throughout the land
Destroying those who get in his way
Don’t ask for mercy
It just makes him mad

The Shadow Knight
Knight
Warrior
Wizard

Casting spells
Sword fighting
Crossbow shooting
Anything that causes death
Anything that brings forth destruction

He kills for his own amusement
He kills purely for the joy

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

You ask why do I stare at you
The simple answer is
You captivate me
You hold me in a trance

I know I make you uncomfortable
I don’t mean to
But your mind and soul
Take a hold of my will power

And wont let go

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

I need to know you care
We’ve been friends a long time
But
I feel a distance has come between us

I ned to know
You are still there for me
As I am still there for you

A hug
A friendly word of encouragement
Holding my hand

Just something simple
Just something plain
To let me know you got my back
And I for you the same

Friends need to be reassured sometimes

That they still have a friend

Cooking
Spices
Flavors
The kitchen smells good



Cooking
Following instructions
Or doing something all my own
Joy

I am who I am
I try and I try
To achieve greatness
I fall short every time

I should not seek greatness
According to the worlds standards
But rather
I should seek the greatness within me

I should lear to grow
As a person
As a member of the human race

The greatness within myself
When I seek that
I shall not fall

Waves
Washing away the pain
Left by
Heartsche
Hurt
And hatred
Washing them into the great ocean
To be felt no more

Waves
Washing me emotionally clean
Washing me fresh
Making me whole

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

Sitting around a campfire
Telling ghost stories all night
Roasting hot dogs on a stick
Who got a story to tell
Who can put chills up our spines
Let the fun begin

Movie night what a wonderful time
Drinks
Popcorn
Together on the couch

As we watch our favorite show

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