The Other Half

No one knows the days ive spent Hearing those that arent there Seeing the faces of those who died A shadow without a care At night they come see me Those at work dont believe me Please Lord come and free me I would cherish the good times If only I can remember My mind is messed up Its gone from July to December I keep playing back those days Like its my own movie reel No one understands what I say Nobody knows how I feel Going from day to day One hour after another The seconds turn to minutes Everythings going by slower What hasnt slowed down Is my mind that keeps racing There is no track or route But its the same obstacles I keep facing Friends, family, and those who know Will never understand My mouth has tasted the fear My body has felt the pain My mind has played those tricks My eyes seen the horror...and shed a tear Cry for those I must There is not one thing I can do The tears a part of so much more They come from the God who loves you Take stock in what youve learned Cause there is no path but True Follow one step at a time And may God always Bless You

My struggle is different.... But yet the same! All I can say is that ... I will fight For my soul.... My soul stands for all that is good... Mankind has darken my psyche..... An yes there is a storm..... I will never surrender my soul to the abyss ...... For mankind and our future..... I will find purity in the simple things that mean so much....... Touch my soul and feel my light and come with me.... Xo
