If someone were to ever stroll
Through the alleyways inside my mind
And find all the things that took their toll
What would they think of what they find? Read more

Sometimes I sit and ponder,
On a night when out of the blue,
You reach out to me in wonder
Asking what I’m about to do.
I ponder why so suddenly,
When for weeks I haven’t heard
from you, yet now you are so chatty
chirping away like a little bird.
Sometimes I wonder if,
We are friends only when
You are in need, frightened stiff
Only those times you seek me again.
So tell me, Oh friend of fair weather,
What can I do for you tonight?
I know we wont be sitting together,
So tell me, am I right?

It won’t be easy.
But in the end its worth the squeeze.
The road is rough
The sun feels like a tease
I promise you
On all that I hold dear
When the journey ends
The truth will remain clear.
Keep on moving
Climbing to the top
No exception, no excuses
Never a reason to stop.

My mind travels to your warmth once more
My soul in this cold weather became rotten,
Again I plead outside your icy door. Read more

A quiet night, read by candle light
Not another person found in sight
But I can’t escape those thoughts inside
My world spins like a whirlwind
Don’t even know where to begin
Frightened by darkness I don’t dare to find Read more

Take the road less traveled,
While the snow is still white.
Before the day has unraveled,
Before the dawn kills the night. Read more

Memories burning like fires in the cold,
Flaring up pictures that shatter the soul.
While the heat of the embers soothes broken hearts
Smoke floods our eyes and tears us apart.
Remembering blindly, I still see it all
After the battle the strong had to fall,
Forever these memories shall stain our minds,
Taking us out with the ebb of the tides.
Even in moments, surrounded by friends,
We feel alone, and lost without end.
Perhaps with the sun, we shall find a new day
Find a new life, discover new ways.
But Alas!, the sun sets, and again it is dark,
The stains still persist, the details stark.
I remember the moments in which I caused you pain,
And all of my remedies had failed in vain.
Seems there’s a painful and terrible truth:
Not all the mistakes which we make in our youth
Can be fixed or repaired, try as you will,
The stains and the scars will remain with you still.
Time, the fair dame she might be,
Can dull the pain, make scars harder to see,
The divine may forgive what the mind can’t forget,
But it’s up to you to let go of regret.

The hours tick away as night draws near.
The palate ices, covers up in fear.
The bastion of another year
Crumbles in despair
And through the chiming of a bell
Remember life’s not fair Read more

It’s the little things
That make or break each day,
The things we do
The things we say.
So say thanks for the good
And forget all the rest
This holiday season,
I wish you the best.

From where within the world we see
Do we derive our liberty?
In plain sight does it dare to hide?
Is it something which we breed inside?
Does it sit within our soul?
Or is it beyond our control?
Does it rely on external agency?
Or do my own thoughts make me free?
Do I need someone’s permission?
Wouldn’t that force me into submission?
Doesn’t freedom make me free
Then why am I locked away, for none to see.

What will you be remembered for?
They are watching, don’t you know?
Every time you walk inside that door,
They want to see just where you go.
Every action that you take,
Defines the legacy you leave
Each decision that you make
Creates the truth from make-belive
Think twice before you see it through
Is this the way you’ll be remembered
If this is the last thing you do
If tonight your life is severed?
Live every day to its potential
Live it the best you can
Every action is consequential,
Move forward, take your stand.

When the sweet goes sour
Through the darkest hour
And the wind knocks at your door,
Gotta bring the heat,
Make the lemon sweet
Keep on going out for more!

So often we walk side by side,
Wondering what the other has to hide,
Before we even dare to say a thing.
Every time you turn away,
Every word you had to say
I didn’t think the truth could sting.

Perhaps the world is giving you a clue,
But you close your ear and turn your head
Ignoring the message which is given to you
Seems you would rather stay in bed.
This pattern of behavior won’t get you far
that isn’t the way things are done around here,
So roll out of bed, and get in your car
Go for your dreams, get yourself there.
No more zero days! this you must yell
to all that you see from here to the end
But never forget a thank you to tell
the support around you, your every friend.
It is he who stood by you,
when the world seemed too dark
It was he who told you
Get up light the spark
He tells you today to go out
No Zero Days, get it all done,
Don’t worry, you got this, dont pout.
Soon you’ll look back and see it was fun.
