Clean Slate
I don't wish to die
For I have yet to fly
I have just begun
Life really has not been that fun
But to go on down the path called the way
I must be careful choosing the words I say
An unkind word can set back the day
Watch for the games they play
So much beauty is never witnessed by an unseen eye
They shall never truly fly
To the deaf , a kind word,
Is never heard
So I pass my time
Playing with some rhythm
Trying to spread some hope
To those at the end of their rope
It is not the end of the day but beginning of one new
Time to step beyond the days you blew
Face your fears
Dry those tears
Face the day with a clean slate
Cause it's not to late
To change your fate
Reaching for your star
Can only take you so far
At some point you must grab on and hold on tight
You know I'm right
