Lost in Sunshine

I guess
Maybe
Im a little tired.

I guess,
Maybe
I dont know how to feel.


So
I guess Ill go down to the creek
and wash away my sorrows
and let the sun
rub warmth back into this tender, achy heart of mine.

I guess
All I needed in the firstplace
was some sunshine.

Everything else will someday come.

So Im on my way
to pulling myself out of this hurt
wiping away those pesky tears
that keep coming
and taking a deep breath.


life is all about losing

so you know what you will one day gain.

So here I am, Life.

Losing to a better cause.

crying for a future smile.


never again will I let this happen.
Never again will I be so vulnerable.

Never again
Will I lose something much too precious to me.

So cheers
let me drown my sorrow and loss


in sunshine.

Just Remember Me

When life's a struggle
and the world gets you down

just remember the one
who you turned their life around
when you think no one cares
and no one could understand
I will be here waiting
just to hold your hand
when you feel so neglected
and you feel so alone
you feel so unwanted
in every fiber of your bones
remember the one
who told you she cared
the one who promised you
to hold you when your scared
remember the times
that we cried together
and somehow just doing that
made everything seem better
so if tomorrow morning you wake up
and the darkness doesn't let you see
just remember the one who loved you
just remember Me    

FUTURE

Looking forward I see a hall,

All these doors but not a wall.

            As I walk and look on up

I see a sign;

“pick one door, pray its fine.”

Do not peak youll break the rules

And become gods greatest fools.

Take a walk inside your head,

Only you know what lies ahead.

I find a door that looks quite nice,

I go for it, but then think twice

            I see the door saved for me,

I walk on by and don’t look back

Each step forward past doors crack.

Is it time to choose a door,

Or must I look a little more?

Time will come to an end,

Will my choice be my friend?

I finally stop and close my eyes,

Then look up and see my prize.

            What’s inside is truly me!

It’s a box, but there inside

 Is the man full of pride.

Hard work and drive will be my key,

Necessary tools to set me free.

Its time for change, its time to grow.

Come on, lets do this, its time to go.
