Always home
Just walking to and fro
Cause I have nowhere to go
Taking it kinda slow
Admiring the view
Everyday there is something new
Storing memories for some tomorrow
To help me past any coming sorrow
So many things to see
All the places I want to be
Across this land of the free
One day
On my way
I will see what I want
The vision so does haunt
The place I wish to stay
...,.someday......
Till then I go my own way
I go my own pace
Learned life was not a race
Stop and look around
There is beauty to be found
A lifetime it seems
I have followed my dreams
Searching for the better me
The man I wish to be
Taking my time
My future lies in some rhyme
But today I make not a dime
I learned to have no fear
For that man is already here
I stand alone
But I feel I have grown
Sharing my words in a book
Imagine that courage they took
Letting someone else have a look
I wish not for fame
I already know my name
I just cannot live with mankind
And keep my peace of mind
If you can not be you
Then no one is true
The pain is there to remind
Times I have been left behind
I do not belong
This is not a sad song
I feel so much love in me
It is not so easy to see
It has been left unused
Because my heart has took some abuse
Everyone says good bye
Rain falls from the sky
But out there
I have not a care
Time passes me by
Less reasons to cry
Writing down some random thought
The lessons life has taught
Do not care why I am here
Man should not live in fear
See life through a tear
I wish for no city
Sometimes my poems are witty
Sometimes not
I like my coffee hot
Hate is a form of rot
What I have learned
Was hard earned
Feeling faded
Deflated
I debated
Turned my back on life
To avoid strife
I walk alone
But hearts become as bone
Hard to break
But so easy it would take
By someone fake
This is what I see
This is what it feels to be free
Loneliness aside
It is something I can hide
Setting camp for no reason at all
Sun is still standing tall
Just to sit here a spell
Since I climbed out of my well.
My own private hell
I have gone far
Sometimes I had a car
For my life I have had to fight
To pursue happiness is a right
To actually find it I cannot imagine that
Must of been pulled out of a hat
Do not know how that may feel
I walk towards that still
No big deal
It is somewhere ahead of me
One day I will see
Some coming tomorrow
Beyond our own sorrow
We are giving a chance to live
Love is a reason to give
Enjoying each day
Along my way
I have everywhere to stay
Can it be
This is what I see
No matter where I roam
.....I am always home.....
