Full Knowledge
I need to find some where to de-stress , to hide
Before I break, and leave this side
I feel the noose, it's lowering
I see the shadows it's throwing
Images of things to come
When finally pushed beyond, and I succumb
A few more inches
Skin slightly flinches
Soon to be around my neck
Doesn't matter, we're but specks
Why continue to balance on the razor edge
When you have full knowledge
Tomorrow will be no better than today
And today was worse than yesterday

Drenched in Sorrow
The rain is falling again
For me that's normally a win
But not today
I FEEL the gray
It's closing in
Much to my chagrin
The beast is stomping around inside
There seems to be in no one I can confide
Tears are stinging my eyes fighting to burst forth
As I contemplate what is my life worth
These burdens that I carry are weighing heavy
They threaten to tear down my levy
My wall
Ment to hold it all
But the rain today is becoming a flood
I'm afraid today I'll be sucked into the mud
No need to dig my grave
As I watch...
For me that's normally a win
But not today
I FEEL the gray
It's closing in
Much to my chagrin

There seems to be in no one I can confide
Tears are stinging my eyes fighting to burst forth
As I contemplate what is my life worth
These burdens that I carry are weighing heavy
They threaten to tear down my levy

Ment to hold it all
But the rain today is becoming a flood
I'm afraid today I'll be sucked into the mud

It Had to Go
You can call me a Saint, you can call me the devil
But at lest my head is on nice and level
Yours was not
It was in the wrong spot
It was leaning to one side
You where looking at me kinda snide
I got tired of you showing nothing but scoff
So I chopped it off
With your head now planted firmly on my lap
Lips no longer continually flap
I'll sit and enjoy the silence, petting you like the Cheshire Cat
Making sure your eyes are turned, enjoy the view of where your body fell flat

Missing Arm of Raggedy Ann
Lying on my bed watching the fan move the skeletons around in my closet
I look over to the TV where my Raggedy Ann sits
A pretty little thing, but she's missing an arm
Can't help but think, like me a few parts are gone
Yet some how here we both still remain
Still existing, but never to be the same
The one that gave her to me never noticed what was wrong
She over looked Raggedy Ann's missing arm
I can only hope, most see me like my friend did Raggedy
Not for what I am, a crushed broken tragedy
I look over to the TV where my Raggedy Ann sits
A pretty little thing, but she's missing an arm
Can't help but think, like me a few parts are gone
Yet some how here we both still remain
Still existing, but never to be the same
The one that gave her to me never noticed what was wrong
She over looked Raggedy Ann's missing arm
I can only hope, most see me like my friend did Raggedy
Not for what I am, a crushed broken tragedy

Till We Meet Again
I sit and wail
As memories of you swell
Threating to bring down the wall
As I remember your final fall
You fell right through my out stretched arms
I could not save you from your demons harm
I could not bring you back to me
Now your memories is all I have to see
I was so angry you left me here all alone
This cut is deep, right to the bone
A wound that will never heal, never become just a scar
As you now dwell amongst the stars
Now I find, I turn my eyes to the midnight sky
The tears rolling quickly and quietly as I cry
I'm...
As memories of you swell
Threating to bring down the wall

You fell right through my out stretched arms
I could not save you from your demons harm
I could not bring you back to me
Now your memories is all I have to see
I was so angry you left me here all alone

Story of a Dragon
There once was a tiny Dragon
The biggest anyone could fathom
He was the fiercest in all the land
And always willing to lend a helping hand
He could breath fire so you better take stock
He turns everyone into ice blocks
In this land the sun always shines
But it will stop raining at the drop of a dime
It's the land of contradiction
Every thing is fiction
Or is it???

It's the land of contradiction

Sitting in the Moonlight
I sit and listen to the crickets melancholy tune
I watch the moon start to bloom
The stars pirouette across the sky
Soon the frogs are croaking in relpy
Fireflies light up the night
Flickering their golden light
A single wolf starts to howl
As if to ask the age old question how
I ended up so lonely
And where's my one and only
My dog is sitting at me feet
She looks up at me as if to say, nothing here is off beat
In the cool of the evening
the honeysuckle is smelling much sweeter
Than in the day under the sun's heater
...

Orange Clouds in the Western Sky
Vibrant orange clouds against a baby blue western sky
Signals that the night is drawing nigh
The steely cold fingers of the darkness will soon be around my neck
That leaves me with the unnerving feeling of being a miniscule speck
Like the pinprick of light in the heavenly sky we call stars
It leaves me in pieces like I've been hit by runaway boxcars
Night time is when the world falls eerily silent, and my mind sets to roaming
Down the hallways of my memories I start floating
Soon like fireworks they begin exploding
My mental state quickly is eroding...

Bleeding Angel
I lie and watch her as she sleeps
It's then I see her soul truly weep
You can tell by the way in which she moves
She has seen more than her fair share of abuse
She is always curled into the tightest ball
Arms covering her head, waiting for the fall
To many times awoken with angry fist
This is the way her body was always kissed
Cries of No echoing, disturb her silent night
As in her dreams, again she puts up a fight
The morning sun brings no sign of relief
Staggering under the weight of all the grief
Some days she can hide it all so...
It's then I see her soul truly weep
You can tell by the way in which she moves
She has seen more than her fair share of abuse
She is always curled into the tightest ball
Arms covering her head, waiting for the fall
To many times awoken with angry fist
This is the way her body was always kissed
Cries of No echoing, disturb her silent night
As in her dreams, again she puts up a fight
The morning sun brings no sign of relief
Staggering under the weight of all the grief
Some days she can hide it all so...

November Rains
I look back on years gone by
Trying to figure out the how and why
How we clung to each other trying to easy the pain
We clung to each other in the cold November rain
The rains have come around again this year
All alone I'm standing here
Head held down
As this cold ass rain splatters on the ground
Making puddles at my feet
As I travel down this dead end street
The cold penetrates my bones
For your not here I'm all alone
Your memories can't keep me warm
Only images of you in my mind are formed
They where desperate times for you and me...
Trying to figure out the how and why

We clung to each other in the cold November rain

Making puddles at my feet
As I travel down this dead end street
The cold penetrates my bones
For your not here I'm all alone
Your memories can't keep me warm
Only images of you in my mind are formed

In Just a Second
Slow down don't be so rushed
Soon enough your life will be hushed
Take some time to look around
There is infinite things to be found
Don't get so caught up in the day to day
That you don't take a second to break away
Just a simple small glance
To see, what you can see perchance
This universe holds infinite power
Just take a look at the smallest flower
Thin lines of color precisely placed
Upon it's delicate tiny face
All that is required is a closer look
For experiences to open like a book
So when your feeling like your...
Soon enough your life will be hushed
