What do you do when you come to that crossroad
The big one that takes you here or takes you there
What do you do when your unsure where your life will go
Do you stop and contemplate or jump in without care
Do you make your choice for someone else, or do you just go with the flow
Jump from one foot to the other until you pick the way,
Just hope you pick correctly, or your going to regret it someday.
Sometimes I feel the sadness as it creeps
It finds a whole in my shell, and slithers through
It sees an imperfection, and into it the darkness seeps
You see for me the sadness follows, it never leaves me alone
For me the sadness shows itself when I hide my face in the dark
For me the shadows enter through the door when I find my way home
Showing me I cannot run from what lingers in my soul
Reminding me that pain will slither in again soon
Reminding me that I cannot run from something that is part of what makes me whole
I find peace in the wilderness
I find peace without sound
I find peace in the color and beauty of the trees
While the wind blows through my hair
While the leaves float from every tree
I feel so calm, I feel so free
I may never laugh in the sun
I may never cut cookies or become a step-ford wife
I embrace the night
I may never bask in the light
But I will dance in the rain
I embrace the night
As the sun sets the time for peace has come
Because the night is my home
I embrace the night
Let the others have the day while I embrace what comforts me
I would rather drown in true emotion alone in my dark place
I would rather feel
I will remain a lover of the moon and the stars
While others will continue to love their daylight hours
I find peace in the night
Hearing the sound of the clock
Sitting alone in the candlelight
Letting my thoughts race around in my head
Thinking about the sound of seconds in time
Forgetting most of the things I said
Telling myself that I am fine….
Minutes turn into days
Days turn into years
Tick tock sounds the clock
Tick tock… echo’s the sound of my fears
What makes me drift apart
Is it the things that I see you do
Is it my dysfunction, my blackened heart
Is it because I need more than I ask for
Is it the strain of things you do not see
Is it angry words that build up over time
Is it because of things you’ve done to me
Is it the scar from the burdens I claim as mine
Is it the difference between who you were and who you are
Is it my inner need to be free,
What makes me drift apart is the need to run…and the need to be me
No matter how far I fall..I will get back up
No matter how hard I’m pushed..I will push back
No matter the distance..I will go farther
No matter how tired I feel..I will not sleep
No matter the challenge..I will face it
No matter what you think..you will not push me down
No matter who you think you are..you are not better
No matter what happens..I won’t stop fighting
No matter what happens.. I will succeed
Love gets taken for granted
With the passing of time
Love gets taken for granted
When I am yours and you are mine
Love gets taken for granted
When you lose sight of who you are
Love gets taken for granted
And then your love gives you a scar
This man has the power of magnetism
Everyone wants to be the center of his focus
When he is near they all feel his strong pull
Women all want to be that special piece of metal
They want to be the piece that sticks
The piece that sticks and doesn’t let go
They are intrigued by his apathy and indifference
Intrigued by the pull they get when he’s near
They want to be the one to win his affections
But his apathy and indifference makes it hard to stick
His huge brick wall is covered and thick
He gives them a few moments of his focus
That’s what draws them to the pull
Then he turns his pull away
Breathe when your getting kicked while your down
Breath when you hate all the things that you do
Breathe while you struggle not to drown
Breath when you feel like your losing your mind
Breathe when the neighbors dog won’t shut up
Breath when your searching for what you cannot find
Breathe when you want to punch through the screen
Breath before you fall apart
Breathe….just Breathe
