A Legion of Soldiers

A legion of soldiers right by my side,
 Ready for battle, we shall nor run nor hide;
 Courage and honor our vows we keep,
 Searching for triumph and not knowing defeat,
 As the enemy approaches, we have no fear;
 My sword yearns for battle, as the time's growing near,
 I turn toward my men on this cold winter night,
 Look upon these soldiers ready to fight,

" Tonight Men! You may sacrifice your life, 
 You may not go home to your children and wife,
 We stand up for glory, no matter the cost,
 We shall not go home with this battle lost,
 We fight for our people and hold our flag high,
 Showing true courage on this very night,
 Our enemy shall buckle underneath our strength,
 We will show them no mercy for we are not weak,
 Gather your armor and follow me now,
 Time that we make our country proud."

 I feel the cold steel, of my, blade in my hand;
 I shall conquer the enemy who tries to steal my land,
 My horse rides swiftly, valiant, and true;
 The time is now for what I have to do,
 The sound of the cries, agony, and pain;
 It's filling my ears and testing my brain,
 Can not feel guilt of taking one's life,
 The pain sheers my side, as I, feel the knife;
 I feel my head spinning, as I, look around;
 Bodies of men and their blood on the ground,
 The realization begins sinking in,
 What is the outcome? Who really wins?

 Every man here is giving their life,
 So who's really wrong or who's even right?
 I fall to the ground and the darkness sets in,
 Remembering my life, family, and friends;
 The life of a soldier is not an easy one, you see?
 We sacrifice ourselves for others to be free,
 As my life leaves my body and my limbs grow cold,
 I remember a story my grandfather told,
 
 " Everyone says there is glory in dying,
 The fact of the matter, maybe, we're lying;
 I've seen many battles that tortured my soul,
 Memories to haunt me, as I, grow old;
 It's good to have courage and strength in your heart,
 But that's why there's wars tearing us apart.
 I don't regret my service or leading my men,
 I just always wondered, when does it end?"

 His words had no meaning, until, this very night;
 My breathes grow shallow and there's clouds in my sight,
 I may die a hero and go out in glory,
 In the end, I only, remain a story;
 We are all equal people with lives to live,
 Why can't we find peace and put war to an end?

Texas Girl

Texas girl born and raised,
Try our BBQ and ya'll will be amazed,
I'll tell ya somethin' about livin' in the south,
Ya'll will hear, " down yonder," comin' out my mouth,
Back to the BBQ 'cuz it's finger lickin' good,
Pull up dem trucks and prop up on the hoods,
" Hope you fellars brought dem beers witcha,"
"Or I'll swing this switch where the sun doesn't hit ya!"
Heard my daddy say, " I'm hairin' this cat,"
" Ya''ll better mind those manners and learn how to act!"
Them there 'squitters are big this year!
If I call you Darlin' just know it's sincere,
I'm from Texas and maybe our slang is funny,
No where I'd rather be and you can bet that, Honey!
Ya'll come visit, unless, you're scared!
Eat some BBQ and drink them cold beers.

I Once Knew a Girl

I once knew a girl with a passion for life, She followed her dreams and her future looked bright,
 She had a desire for knowledge and enhancing her mind, She was gentle in nature, loving, and kind,
 She had a fire in her heart and a spark in her eye, She looked forward to the day, She would spread her wings and fly.
 I once knew a girl with a heart made of gold, This was long before the world turned her cold,
 There were troubles in the horizon as the storm started brewing, She was oblivious to the fact, that she would meet her undoing,
 She watched her life change slowly day by day, Wondering what she did to deserve things to be this way.
 I once knew a girl, who was left all alone, That heart made of gold was embedded in stone,
 When you looked in her eyes there was no longer a spark, All you could find was emptiness and a broken heart,
 No one was listening as she screamed out in pain, No one realized that she'd never be the same.
 I once knew a girl, who looked evil in the face, Who kept searching for hope and finding God's grace,
 Nightmares and horrors haunted her mind, Her sweet loving nature she no longer can find,
 She learned to embrace the darkness as her only friend, Her heart ripped to pieces that no one could mend.
 I once knew a girl, who no longer had hope, She gave up on reason and trying to cope,
 There was nothing but darkness no form of light, Until she decided to stand up and fight.
 She silenced the demons living in her head, Taunting and screaming, " You're better off dead."
 She tried to stand up but her legs were too weak, She started to crawl surpassing defeat.
 She never gave up no matter how hard she fell, She had a life to live and a story to tell.
 I once knew a girl, who fought to be free, I once knew a girl because that girl was me.

The Battle Within Myself

There's a battle within myself between who I was, and what I aspire to be,
 I'm lost in the echoes of my soul, darkness surrounding me, how will I ever be free?
 Sometimes, I'm scared to keep searching, I'm afraid of what I'll find,
 My memories of heartache and past mistakes still etched within my mind
 This battle within myself weighs upon my heart,
 I'm searching for a new beginning but where do I even start?
 Do I start with the pain that haunts me like a ghost?
 Forgiving others for what they have done, pain inflicted from the ones I care about the most,
 My mind is willing but my heart isn't ready,
 Take a deep breathe and keep your thoughts steady
 Trying to defeat the things eating me alive inside,
 I need to admit that I'm broken and let go of my foolish pride,
 How do you move on from memories holding you back?
 They flood me like a song on a broken record track,
 Why am I blind to the light I'm searching for?
 I feel so lost as my tears start to pour
 There's a battle within myself remembering the good things I've done,
 Pushing away the clouds and embracing the sun,
 Cherishing the blessings bestowed upon my life,
 Letting go of bitterness, anger, hurt, and strife,
 I look into the eyes of my children and see the innocence within their heart,
 Finding my clarity and I realize where I start
 There's a battle within myself that I'm winning today,
 My path becomes clearer as I make a new way,
 Is it ever going to be easy? No I'm afraid that it's not,
 Is that an excuse to give in and stop?

Freedom Isn'T Free

Hello brave soldier, I hope to find you well,
I know you have scars and stories to tell,
" Freedom isn't free," there is a price to pay,
Soldiers know that truth while they battle each day,
Serving our country in lands unknown,
Leaving their loved ones and departing from home,
War is not for everyone it takes a brave soul,
I'd like to share my gratitude for you being so bold,
Courage and honor both admirable traits,
Risking your life, no matter, the stakes,
People often question the purpose of the war,
To a soldier it's their country they stand for,
To me it's irrelevant what's right and wrong,
Just know I send my prayers and keep standing strong!

Beneath the Weeping Willow

Time stood still as you drew your last breathe, 
Visions of our memories are all that are left,
Questions unanswered and words left to say,
A piece of me faded on your dying day,
Called home to the place where your soul rests,
Cherishing our time given for which I was blessed,
Beneath the weeping willow I cry out your name,
Hoping to see you but reality remains the same,
The branches cover me like dark upon the night,
Searching beyond to your place out of sight,
Leaves of the willow flowing against the breeze,
I'm beholden to the silence enveloping me,
I sit beneath the willow with you on my mind,
Hoping your presence may be what I find,
The roots of a willow are deep inside the ground,
The roots of my heart you will always be found,
We have a lot in common this willow and I, 
The glistening of tears as clouds fill the sky,
Where have you gone? Please can you return?
Seasons have passed and the leaves begin to turn,
Beneath the weeping willow I shall remain,
Cherishing the memories left in your name,
Until we meet again in a place beyond the tree,
One with the willow I shall always be

Solidarity

Darkness beckons me with each new day
Remembrance of my desolation seems to persistently stay
Cataclysmic past still haunts my troubled mind
Convalescence becoming unwavering, Consummation I find
Anguish constantly overwhelms my aspirations to improve 
Vanquish each memory, Condemnation is removed 
Unpleasant occurrences that steadily came to pass
Unmanageable situations, My resolution transcends, at last
Ingenuity shall be my guide
In myself, alone, I shall confide
Unworthy existence became my heart's outlook
Reclaiming my resilience that disaster overtook 
Self conviction speaks to my innermost being
Realization of reality redirects my life's meaning
Overcome these afflictions through solidarity 
In myself, alone, shall I uncover my clarity

A Song for the Hopeless 
By All That Remains

A Sailor's Tale

I sail across the open sea,
Moonlight kissing my skin,
The rushing waves inviting me,
My voyage finally begins

The air is cool upon my face,
The night is dark as coal,
My sails are flowing at a fast pace,
Sounds of the ocean comfort my soul

Upon the water lays the moon's silhouette, 
A beautiful sight before my eyes,
This memory tonight, I shall never forget,
Sail the night until the sun shall arise

Crashing of waves to and fro,
Silence and solitude I embrace, 
The heart of the ocean I long to know,
Finding myself in this magical place

Wishing upon the nearest star,
Dreaming my dreams on this cool night,
The song of the ocean I hear from afar,
Sailing in darkness until day's coming light

I Wanted You To

I wanted you to love me,
I wanted you to see,
I wanted you to know all I felt inside of me

I love you more than you'll ever loved yourself, 
Watch you tear apart until only pieces are left,

I'm letting go now and I'm not turning back, 
Far distant memories is all that are left,

I hope you know that there are people that care,
We may be far away but doesn't mean we aren't there,

Tired of this never-ending circle,
Live your life without your true purpose, 

When will you see my torment and pain,
Wondering if you'll live to see another day,

You can be selfish you chose your path,
Now it's time you deal with the aftermath,

You break my heart again and again,
Just leave me incomplete until I'm not whole again,

I love you more than the air I breathe,
but you rip me apart until nothing is left of me,

I'll leave you to your torment, pity, and shame,
I just wish you would just only forget my name,

Can't let you break my heart in two,
The heartbreak I feel I wish you only knew,

I'll love you until the day I die,
I won't let you be the reason I continue to cry,

Hope you're happy and I have all that you want,
but I'm no longer here to rest your problems on,

I hope it changes I hope you see,
You are my love and always a part of me,

I'll always be here right by your side,
but I won't watch you self destruct until you die,

Think about us and how much we love you,
Turn your cloudy days into beautiful shades of blue, 

Remember one thing and that's all that I ask,
Please quit pretending and take of that faulty mask,

You say you're alone but that's a lie,
There's people here that for you would give their life,

Keep me in your heart I'll never fade away,
I hope you'll find your meaning; someday, 

Love you forever but that's all I can do,
No longer a prisoner to what you say and do

Doubt Casts a Shadow

I've walked these lonely miles
In spite, of tumultuous trials
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

My strength shall not falter
Though, my life was altered
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I've held steadfast with courage
Though, times of small discourage
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I've overcame each affliction
Years of secret addiction
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I've survived abuse, upon me, inflicted
Encountered the world's truly wicked
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I've mended the pain of my broken heart
Even, as my life was shattered apart
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

Misery sang, to me, its bitter song
I mustered the will to carry on
Yet, doubt casts a shadow

I can not be broken!
Despite, each hateful word spoken!
Yet, doubt casts a shadow!

I've conquered my demons!
Whilst, my soul was screaming!
Yet, doubt casts a shadow!

I've accepted my transgressions!
Turned, my life, a new direction! 
Yet, still, doubt casts its shadow!!
