But have got no way out of here
I want to just sit ‘n’ cry
But have got all my tears frozen
I want to endlessly smile
But…… just got no reason.

AnxietyTears fill my eyes
Sadness fills my lungs

The things I am running from

To my own personal hell

Six DogsSix dogs die
And one guy cries
the dogs are not political
Oh! My, My,

to call them pest or bravehearts
to declare them something

UnwantedIn shadows cast by sorrow's shroud,
There dwells a girl, her voice not loud,
Unwanted whispers fill her mind,

Leaves her heartache to silently unfold.
He was once her knight, her protector,...

For balls wear out the fingers
And arthritis shows its might,
While the back pains...

Too LateFar from this place,
Where peace escapes,
He ran, lost in the race,
No one cared for his fate.
Death's beckoning touch,
Drew him near,
His grave, a sanctuary,
Where mercy did appear.
All he had, a distant memory,
A broken story, filled with...

A Rambling GuyIt's the beginning of Fall,
chilly days and boring days
are ahead, he notices how tall
are the pines that oversee all;
a rambling guy whistles songs:
does he have a destination in mind,
or he strolls tirelessly to unwind?
His shadow...
