A Glimpse In A Life

Grasping Sand
The harder i try to reach you, the gap seems to expand.
Its like grasping at sand the harder I squeeze the more slips through.
I do not know if its the difference in times journey that made me...

Dedicated to my Dad who lost his short battle w/ Colon Cancer on June 18,2013

I hate you Cancer
Your vile evil and cruel
You don't care who you hurt
I'll never forget that day
I'll always hate you for it

Your heartless Cancer
You took someone important from me
Someone important from...

I used to march without a sense of pride
And never held myself with high esteem.
Appeasing everybody else’s dream,
I’d lose the battle fighting for their side.
I was a soldier, blank and hazy-eyed.
My heart would stop and start and wait and scream
Because the fight would not ignite...

On my knees, Lord, and with hands raised
I pray I need you, oh how I need you today.
My heart is broken, my strength is gone, 
I am desperate for love only you can provide,
and the song only you can sing to my soul.
I'm begging Lord...

I fight inside myself
 but I am a paper warrior
 rock and scissors had their way with me
 cut up to shreds and pulverized to bits
 I fight inside myself
 but always hold the white flag
 crying as rockets fly around me in the night

I understand your fear, your need to run away,
I feel your tears, I cry them too, 
and wish I could disappear, forever. 
My cousin, slept with and dated the man 
who raped and mollested me when I was 13.
She still talks to him 
as if...

You can lose the battle and still win the war
As long as you know what you’re fighting for
Because in the end it doesn’t matter how many times you fall
Or all those times you had to crawl

You’ll regret the times you didn’t even try
And all those...

I'm the lyrical one and I have been for years 
Ever outspoken the voice of my peers
Spit phrases that thrill when those lyrics I drop
I'm a lyrical legend and top of the shop 
Well my words kinda flow from the pen to the page
In a...

You try and try,
And never give up,
Even if you feel like dropping it,
You still lose the battle,
Holding on,
Staying strong,
People just let it go,
Losing the battle,
Might not be so bad,
Knowing you gave it your all,
Justify's what you have done,
That's just tossed in the clouds,
Losing the battle,
Isn't...

I’ve stood on your balcony beside your Bald Eagle.
Wolves prey on the lonely souls lost in the night.
I’ve seen your attraction to the dark side flowing.
You have no more room for regret and no more
ways to fill up your abundance. 

I’ve stood on your ledge...

Big boys get brainwashed by television 
It's my mission to fulfill you with vision 
America is going under these days.
All the countries around us aren't getting their ways.
Who's to blame?
Shame just came...
Out of nowhere for us all to be enlightened with doubt
What's that all about?...

Sew your lips or brave to speak
Keep your tried quiet and walk the creek
Understand not of all you see
Life is not it's own reality
Leave alone your bones behind
So you may too feel peace of mind

Only select few will see their own
Few will walk along others...

I am a victim
And I refuse to believe that
I can overcome the symptoms of PTSD
I realize that this may be a shock, but
I will heal my pain
Is a lie
My life is hopeless
In 30 years, I will tell my children that
I have my priorities straight because
Hatred
Is...

Farewell Failure

noting really matters
this I finally see
what used to give me purpose
finally set me free
everything I cared about
brought me to my knees
and now I only long to be
dust blowing in the breeze
hope is all I really have
that god will set me free
before I lose the...

Drifting off into a black space
To a land not far away
I see visions of another world
Where only kings and queens can play

There are jesters in the courtyard
There are dragons all around
I can feel my astral body
Being pulled down to the ground

Suddenly I'm standing
In the corner...
