Head On

Here I have sat for what seemed

like an eternity.

A life long wait for 

the unknown.

Slowly diminishing are the

fears which drug

me down.

So low that I could

go no further.

And now, it begins

to change.

It begins to unravel

in my heart. 

This emotion is continuous.

Addictive.

Pleasant.

A newness of

sorts.

I will not run.

I will not hide.

I will face this like 

the man who yearns

for what once use to be familiar

in my life.

Only this time, 

Im prepared.

I will wait

and see

what this has in

store

for me.

In Time I Will Find

My life is sometimes an obstacle

waiting for me to overcome.

All I need is to believe in myself

and then it can be done.

 

Its hard sometimes because of the past

but Im beginning to learn to let go.

Its hard to heal what has been broke 

but when it happens, I'll begin to grow.

 

I want whats best for me and my life.

I dont want to take the fall.

I want to love with whats left of my heart

but I must first break down that wall.

 

I built a wall inside of me 

to keep my feelings safe again.

But heres the truth, since Ive had that wall

Ive let noone in but friends.

 

Its kept me from loving myself I believe.

I use to be so full of life.

But because of the hurt that I live with each day

my life just has not turned out right.

 

It is so up to me to break myself free

and let go of this pain.

I need to be loved. I need to be hugged.

Each and every day.

 

So one day at a time I will try to define

the man that I want to become.

I will focus my sight on doing whats right.

I will learn to love someone.

 

One day I will see what is meant for me.

Perpetual bliss of a kiss.

Certainly I will believe in myself.

And no longer will my heart miss.

I Heard From You Today

I heard from you today.
You took my breath away. 
So much I needed to say.
I want you to be okay.

I always hold it in.
Afraid to lose or win. 
Afraid to actually begin.
My own biggest sin.

You were my entire world.
My life. My heart. My girl. 
Made my hear whirl.
Made my feelings swirl.

With you I had it all. 
You never let me fall. 
I slowly lost it all.
I kept up my wall.

Id do everything different for another chance.
Wouldnt look back or even glance.
Id do what right and take my stand.
Id show you I want to be your man.

I heard from you today. 
Im so far from okay.

With Time

In a room he sits alone thinking.
His mind is always racing.
His thoughts don't have an ending.
Within himself he is pacing.
 
He wants to reach out and feel
but its like he has no heart.
Hes left it alone from the suffering
which tore him all apart.

His mind is constantly thinking.
He needs to make that choice.
He fights within to break his curse.
He wants to use his voice.

Hes been alone for far too long
and yet he still remains.
He could move on with his life
but he will not break his chains.

He'd rather sit until hes healed
and then maybe he will rise.
When all is well like it should be,
he will be in someones eyes.
