Drop the Ocean, Lift the Sky

Drop the ocean, lift the sky, Today seems like a goodbye, Memories of your voice forever linger. Drink the potion, get me high, Tears start to multiply, You wouldn't even try to lift a finger. Cast the demons out of here, Lift me up, I have no fear, Show you what it means to say I love you. Wake me up, grab a beer, Fill my cup, and shed a tear, My love for you has always been this true. Drain the ocean, engulf the land, Time to focus, begin again, Learn to live without you by my side. Convey the notions, my own brand, Revolve my life, and take a stand, Without you, I know, I will be alright. Ring the bell, sound the horn, Today I have been reborn, I can do this all on my own. Rise the fell, mend the torn, Persevere through all the scorn, My, look at how much you have grown. Drop the ocean, lift the sky, Today seems like a goodbye, Memories of your voice forever linger.

You'Re the Artist

Everything happens for a reason, No matter the time of day or season. Whether it be good or bad, No need to be mad or sad. These emotions will waste your focus, In due time you will notice, How distracting they can be. Close your eyes and you will see. Think of things that bring you joy, Not of things that stress and annoy, When times are hard and you are low, Destiny will appear and show, The reason for the transpiration, No need for contemplation. Everything will be okay, Time goes on, day to day, Make a reason for yourself, Rescue your emotional health, Keep on trekking, go the farthest, Change the stars, you're the artist.

Sunny Days and Rainy Nights

Sunny days and rainy nights, Thunder howling causing fright, Everyone says it will be alright, Try to endure with human might. Places I'll go, and places I've been , Where will I start, where will I end , No one to tell me , no one to send, Letters to my family if I can't fend . Time goes on and days go by, Years and years seem to fly, Time goes on and tears are cried, Life's a roller coaster, enjoy the ride. Ups and downs from time to time, Try to keep your head right, rhyme for rhyme, Work hard as you can, dime for dime, Following the wind , chime for chime, Don't expect humility, life is raw, Fall down, bounce up, like a see saw. When you're down you will find, Emotions on paper can ease your mind, Write what you feel, it can free your bind, Life is a stitch and death is kind. Only thing I've left to say, Live, laugh, love and enjoy the day.

Willpower

What's the hardest thing to do? It all comes down to life and you. Lest you find your self controlled, Learn to harness will, behold. Power to choose within your soul, Overcome and destroy control. With your mind you can achieve, Endure through, you must believe. Resist temptation, prepare celebration.

Under the Alaskan Sun

Nine months of darkness, Snow on the ground, No leaves on the trees, No warmth around. As the winter comes to a close, Lakes and rivers still seem froze, Soon the waters will break free, Moving life far as eyes can see, And now its time to have some fun, Playing under the Alaskan sun. Rivers are running , bears now conscious, Birds a flutter, fish obnoxious, Breathing in the summer air, Floating down the river bare, Baggie of green, cooler filled supreme, Almost as if, it were all a dream. When I look back, old and grey, I'll remember the nights and days, When we found euphoria under the Alaskan sun.

One August Morning

One August morning, waiting for those birthday presents, Then with no warning, down stairs came my parents, And with them came a special surprise, Our family was ending , due to lies. Divorce was the word of choice, Pain in my fathers voice , Too young to understand, Why this was being planned, Ever since this damn event, My family has grown more distant. Soon after mom was gone, My eldest sis embarked upon, A journey of her own. My other sis went with mom, All alone with dad .com, Stayed with him a couple of years, Soon followed the steps of my family peers, I feel bad for leaving, Left my father , alone and grieving, Why should I be the one to stay, When it comes down to it, were all grey, One day maybe we, Can once again be family.

Here I Stand

Here I stand, a lonely man, Aimless wandering with out a plan, Planet Earth is where I roam, The last frontier I call my home, Ever searching for the truth, Growing wiser since my youth, Family and friend are all you need, My advice, I insist, you heed, Though love seems to heal, Make certain that love is real, If it wasn't meant to be, Lock it up and hide the key, Don't let the pain get you down, Someday your key will be found, When that day comes to show, Happiness in you will grow, When it comes to school and work, Try your hardest not to shirk, Pay attention in your class, Don't do your work half-gassed, Respect others, respect yourself, Respect time, respect health, In general, just have respect, Evil temptations you must reject, Don't spend time being depressed, Thoughts of stress you can suppress, Be the best you can be, The price of happiness isn't free, Stay clean, resist relapse, True freedom, you will grasp, Sound the trumpets, crack a Pabst.

There Lives a Man

Thoughts echo, mental void,
Deep, dark, empty void,
****ed it here, ****ed it there,
****ed it up, ****ed it up.
Demons come and demons go, 
Demons live and demons sow,
Demons die , demons lie, 
Demons cloud demons pry.
Sober thoughts, drunken words, 
Red skys , infernal birds.
In the dark , there lives a man,
Alone and cold, there lives a man, 
There he sits a simple man, 
Soul abandoned , a lonesome man,
He wants to die, deaths a thought, 
Whats the point , just a thought,
Angels cry, and demons hiss,
Living life, voided bliss,
Life will come and life will go, 
A dark man comes here, to and fro, 
Prys his eyes and pricks his brain, 
Slowly still he goes insane, 
In the dark there lives a man,
Trying to do the best he can, 
Dieing is just a simple plan, 
Will he try? he can he can, 
At what cost, does life come too, 
Red white black and blue, 
No one but himself to blame, 
No one but himself to shame.
There a man, still a boy, 
Yearning for his ode to joy.

From My Depressed Days

I just want to disappear, Take me somewhere far from here, Show you all my side of fear, In fact go grab me some ****ing beer, Time to forget about my pain, Forget my troubles , pickle my brain. Travel somewhere on a train, Beat an old man with his cane, I'm just kidding about the violence, Couldn't stand the loud *** silence, Now I'm not pointing the blame , I don't need help carrying this shame , Back to the beginning of this, Blink my eyes then take a piss, Try to find a girl to kiss , Find my self lost in bliss, O wait, I forgot I'm drunk, Just another loser flunk, I just want to disappear , Take me some place far from here.

Mecac

When I feel the warmth of you, I never want to let you go, Problems though we've had a few, My love for you is all I know, Every day your on my mind, Slowly tugging at my heart, Soon enough you'll come to find, You've had the whole thing from the start, I wish I could erase the past, Take back all the wrongs I made, Now I'm going nowhere fast, Memories of us soon to fade, Whether you love me still or not, I wouldn't leave your side, Love for you is all I got, Can't say I never tried, You probably think we'd never work, Since your leaving in the fall, My love for you, I'd never shirk, I would give us and you my all.
