hopefully earn a tale to spin

the page does turn
hopefully to learn
from what did come
another day under the sun

we try and try again
hopefully to grin
hopefully earn a tale to spin
hopefully another friend to win

what is becomes past
what could is here at last
step by step
we move beyond regret

Who I should be

Once again

I wanted it to end

Rather to vanish

Than face the tarnish

Everyone does know

How it should go

Who I should be

And when I should fly free

Please just stop yelling

Please just stop hurting

Please just stop

Just stop

In loss the spirit does fill

Send me those who were betrayed

Send me those who are afraid

Of another broken promise

Of another tragedy that sprang from a kiss

In heartache the soul takes root

And from it a rarer flower does shoot

In loss the spirit does fill

The places that are now still

You are crafted from the divine

Do not over mind

The terrors of this day

For they will not stay

Nor the shiny bits of gold

Is this the way

Does pain just stay?

How do I refrain

From the sorrow that does remain?

It's not another's touch

That we find much

Nor the shiny bits gold

That make us bold

It's from the things we give

And those we forgive

That we find serenity

And have a chance at peace

I thought of taking my breath

"I'm free but I'm focused / I'm green but I'm wise / I'm hard but I'm friendly"

-Hand In My Pocket, Alanis Morrisette

I walked on

Still singing my song

Rise and rise again

And walk on my friend

Too many nights

So many plights

I thought of taking my breathe

And embracing death

But the darkness does not stay

And soon enough a new day

Dawns again

Walk on my friend

Easy gotten but yet

"Okay I used you!!"

-Jody Reverski

Is there an end

To the lies?

When will the good lord send

A beauty to my eyes?

But that's what I get

Chasing lust

Easy gotten but yet

So easy to bust

Then heartache sets in

But that is the deal

When we bid on sin

Our final payment too real

Wonders and woes

"Slow down my beating heart"

-U2

Such is life

Sometimes full of strife

Sometimes a ploy

Sometimes a joy

We get one day at a time

And in each we find

Wonders and woes

Sunshine and snows

Be glad of a constant friend

And know in the end

We all worked to play our part

From the end to the start

Holding us cold

"Felt so good to let go of it..."

-Daughtry

The earth is still turning

And we are still learning

Passing through trials

Facing our denials

Each of us locked inside

The bars of pride

Holding us cold

Keeping us from being bold

But what is there to fear?

Are you not so dear

Made by the masters hand

No one just like you in this land

The day is soon here

"But no matter what you do, you'll always feel as if you trip and fell. So steady as she goes"

-jack white

Oh my dear

Do not give in to fear

Hold fast

To the promise that will last

Be steady

Be ready

The day is soon here

When you see your fear

As the shadow that it is

A nightmare that does fizz

In the bold light 

Soon out of sight

Where would I learn

"You can not choose what stays and what fades away"

-Florence + The Machine

I didn't ask

For such a task

I didn't pray

To be this way

How could I have known

What I would be shown?

Where would I learn

How life would turn?

It's been my pleasure 

To have this adventure

One day at a time 

Is how we write this rhyme

A coward, a thief, a liar

"The blonde was called Freedom, the dark haired one Enterprise..."

-Jim Morrison

It's still on fire

This heart in a pyre

Burning and burning

Yearning and yearning 

Will it ever be cool?

I feel such a fool,

A coward, a theif, a liar,

A soul wrapped in barbed wire

I'm alive! I cry

To all the night sky

The heat of my blood

My thoughts are a flood

Of losing even one coin

No amount of money

Can make it always sunny

No amount of treasure

Will always bring pleasure

When we make money so dear

That we live in fear

Of losing even one coin

We lose the ability to join

We must walk the line

And know we will find

It is not as bad as feared

Or as great as savored 

The truth of this decree

"If you are lost you can always be found. Just know you're not alone..."

-Phillip Phillip

I know you're worth it

Every little bit

Of you is made from love

A true gift from above

Let your heart fill with grace

And let none replace

The truth of this decree

You are a true beauty

You are a song in this land

Crafted by the masters hand

A poem of divine thought

A treasure widely sought 

But carry on carry on

I send my song out to you

You who are blue

You who rue

The day life was given you 

It seems the pain

Will forever reign

But carry on carry on

For comes soon a new morn

Oh please promise me

That one more day you'll see

I'll help you through

My faith is true

From the unconquerable soul

"I am Not a POOR creature"

-Richard from Neverwhere

Do not pity me

Nay, stand by me

Though the night was deep

The faith I did keep

While the blood still flows

And the song still bellows

From the unconquerable soul

The end is still untold

I'm still smiling

I'm still rhyming 

This pen does not fail

This heart does prevail

When justice is delivered

In the midst of the pain

I found this refrain,

Let it be

Wait and see

The day will come

When lies are undone 

When justice is delivered

And darkness is severed

There is no darkness so deep

That it can keep

The light forever away

& deny a new day

One step at a time

The sun has risen

A new chapter given

Fates tumblers turned

The reward earned

 

It was perfectly played

The divine plan well laid

One step at a time

Brings us closer to the divine

Who knows where we sail

But love will always prevail

Hope is a constant friend 

And faith will never end

I'm dying inside

"An ounce of peace is all I want from you, will you never call again?"

-Hate Me by Blue October

Still the world does turn

And still we yearn

For that one extra bit 

One more sưck from the tit

So just let me be

Can't you see 

I'm dying inside 

There's nothing left to hide. 

I tried to be a good man

But I don't know if I can

Still I will try

Till the day I die

To our story

"I could show you what you want to see
and take you where you want to be"

-Safe & Sound by Capital City

Come away with me

And let our pleasure be

Our only guide

Nothing to hide

The world is vast 

And if we hold fast

To our story

We can live on in his glory

No powders nor potions

Nor foul smelling lotions

Do I have to offer

Only the wide world as my coffer

In the hearts of those

The truth shines free

It can not be

Hid for long

It is much too strong

The truth is the greatest gift

And causes no rift

In the hearts of those

That we love head to toes

You ruin yourself  worse

Than those you curse

With lies simply given

And love from you is driven
