Through My Actions
Second Chances
Refuge
Vision
Reason to Care
Hand in Hand
Set Free
Faceless
Amongst Friends
ambition stifled or is it just deterred. narrowness of scope a new kind of hope. acceptance of impurities are
few in between losing myself. i was a compassionate being. down i feel i'm rotting inside. help me reality
subsides. holding on stop my soul from bleeding. carry out, my state of my mind's redeeming. the choices
i made the price i paid was never enough. it will never be enough. don't tell me what to feel. the truth will
be revealed. through my actions. not my words. i don't understand the way we treat each other. i won't
understand why we rape one another. i won't accept what's been accepted. i'll love all that's been neglected.
my actions show that i care. i won't sit back and stare. i'll make a change. i'll make it better.
i guess i never thought about it. how i would feel when i grew up. i guess i always tried to doubt it. it never
seemed to make much sense. i try not to dwell upon it but i guess my time is spent. i try not to dwell upon
it or how much it meant. like rain that falls from the sky time seems to flood my eyes. like rain that falls from
the sky time seems to flood my life. i'll try to grab it and wrestle it to the ground. it's always out of reach.
it's always lost and never found. i've only got one chance. will i ever have a second chance? there goes
today. what about tomorrow? conformity i'll never swallow. the world today full of pain and sorrow. apathy
i'll never swallow. can we return to the golden age? to the goals we set and the promises we made. do
you recall when we were friends? just you and me to the very end. second chances.
locked out and pushed aside. anger and hatred it's in their eyes. left to drown in a see of despair. nothing
to believe in. no one who cares. again and again they've been slapped in the face. hope and dignity left
for us to replace. left to drown in a sea of despair. nothing to believe in no one who cares. left to drown.
refuge. nothing to believe in. so much to fear. destitute and lonely year after year. who'll provide the shelter?
who'll provide the love? blesses peace and grace sent from above. but still there are those who will
never understand the benefits of compassion and lending a helping hand. so take what you have and give
a little back. give to them all that you lack.
what makes me say this? i guess i know. a desire to express my feelings. a desire not to let it go. what
keeps me here when we're so far apart. a commitment i've made. it's been planted in my heart. "do the
right thing" is a phrase that's no cliche. i try to keep my spirits up my energy just won't fade. you said a
mouthful but you never opened up your mouth. you built the bridge and i burned it down. you saw it all yet
you never blinked an eye. you gave me everything and i pushed it all aside. is it more than music? haven't
we heard it all before? so tell me. what is it that we keep striving for? will it make a difference if i quit the
race? i know it will. my energy fades. tell me one thing. was it ever real? the way you made me act. the
way you made me feel. do you remember from the very start? it's been so long ago. i think that i forgot.
you built the bridge. i burned it down.
how can you right a wrong? how can we move along? why does it take so long? i know i'm not that strong.
justify then separate. tell myself to communicate with my surroundings. get in touch. i think i'm better off
right here inside. a place that i know a place to reconcile. all that i wanted and all that i see. all that i needed
and all that i've grown to be. pushing forward and moving ahead digging deeper than i ever had. i've
got a reason to care. with you i'm willing to share my reason to care.
domestication. devestation. thoughtless expression. finding the answers in childish fear. it's so beautiful.
you put life in me. you are a chosen one. injected complexity. give me hope. compassion fills the void.
tasteless joke. the mundane must be destroyed. there must be more than this. i've known it before i will
resist. i built my dreams on pie crust promises. lately is seeems we passed up chances. i will not succumb
to the illness. no domestication never idleness. i will not indulge in the sickness. seek to know yourself and
your divine origin. this is most important. se we can walk hand in hand.
i want to liberate you. i want to set you free. i want to bare your burden. why won't you let me? is it so
hard to let me in? it only takes a spark for the fire to begin. i will always love you. and i will stand by your
side. a special place in my heart is where you'll reside. please don't close your eyes there are so many
lies. please don't close your ears there are so many fears. no one made you step out of line. it's just a
gradual digression over time. choking and gasping for a breath of hope. reaching for something to cling to
at the end of your rope. wipe the tears from your face. you and i will win this race. this is my promise to
you. frustration sets in. when will the healing begin? set free.
who are you? i've never see you here before. you are never happy. you always want so much more. i'm
so tired of you complaining. i'm so sick of your lies. i will not accept your explanations. you never even
tried. why do you stay here? why can't you see? never in a lifetime will you understand me. bent on
destroying all that's been made ignorance and arrogance have made you their slaves. you are not a part
of all that's been made. this is something you can never take away. i refuse your poison. i refuse your kind.
no matter what you do the truth you will never find. you will never. you could never find the truth.
i will never forget you and all that you meant to me. i never thought it would come to this. this isn't how it's
suppose to be. all that we worked for. all that we screamed for. i know it was not in vain. no matter how
much i hope and pray. i know it won't feel the same. words and emotions have defeated us once again.
all the things i ran from. all the places that i ran. you will always be among us. you are always amongst
friends. it's the only thing i'm sure of. i know this will never end. much love and respect for you my friend.
amongst friends. it's the only thing i'm sure of. i know this will never end.
