That burning fire

Sometimes the silence that is all around Leaves in my head a buzzing sound After awhile I lose my smile I sit here Sometimes I feel fear No other human voice But it is my own choice Still Against my will Sad enters my head I feel dread A fire Some inner burning desire Memories start to haunt Sometimes of things I yet want Someone to talk to When I am blue I start to cry I do not even know why I try I tend to see things in such a beautiful way But sometimes my head turns gray The alone that I feel Will never heal I wonder why At times I cry I know I will never belong That is not my song I never get along People come and go I find emotions are just for show Sooner or later you run out of things to say Before long you go your own way Alone again Way it has been Except for my dog Jin Hello good bye Give me a few days to cry Please do not tell me why No more I picked myself off that floor Refused to ever fall So I built a wall From the world I hide Cause I can not abide Good bye Makes me cry Makes me sad Feel bad Nowhere to hide I have tried Too myself I have lied Lost in yesterday So alone I stay. Running from or maybe to Looking for something I never knew Far and wide I have tried to hide From myself from the past from love that never seemed to last Lost in these words I write Keeps me going in this fight When in times I lose sight Of tomorrow lost in sorrow Write out the bad Lose this sad Get back my glad Each day My chosen way The Beauty I chose to see When my heart wishes to be free Of this lonely land I am a part Same heart Lonely and cold Right now I feel as old How far must I go What must life show What must I see To finally find me I grow weary Down right dreary Sometimes I wish to see no more Find my door Let my spirit soar So much I have saw Sometimes on the wrong side of the law Life brought me here Surely, not to be full of fear Hope is always near So on I go But life is so slow I'm tired Cold Feel so old My heart is pure For that there is no cure Out here I may die With no one here to cry For a last good bye A moment in time, I make Just be happy for each breath I take Still alone But better than what love has shown So I put away my sad Borrow some glad Hold my head up high For no one is there to see me cry Alone, you never have to say goodbye Night starts to fade In sadness I no longer wade That inner fire Lifts me higher Beyond desire I am stone Even if I am alone
