I Am a Tree
I am a tree that is bright

I wander when i get to see the day that some body climbs on the branches

I hear little kids playing 

I see the day I will be cut down

I want to live forever

I am a tree that is bright

I...

That spark deep down inside that keeps one going seems to fade
when lifes events drag us down, It's nice when there is someone there to pick up the
pieces when the only thing you can do yourself is fall apart. Yet you still give it your...

I Am Lost and Confused
I am lost and confused, I don't know what to do 

I wander when I will find out who I really am 

I heard my parents fighting all the time when I was younger

I saw my little puppy go up stairs and hide from all...

I promise I love you forever

Love is blind and so was I

but now i...

My Life
Life can be full of anger

Life can be full of hurt

Life can be full of misery

But we have to make it work

They never stay by your side

They always go, run and hide

Why does it have to be me 

Why can't I just, just be free

I...

Jailed
Jailed

Tears fall like rain due to all the stupid little things left in your mind,
All those things are to remind you of your bad decision to do this crime,
So you will sit in your 5x10 cell and think about why you're doing time,
Soon you will...

Turn Around
Turn Around

Lost in every way, Almost every day,
Watch me disengage, Freed from this rage,
Yet locked in this cage, Ending in sorrow, 
it will be better tommorrow, Atleast I hope so,
Pick yourself back up slow, Then you can just go,
I will never rid myself from pain,...

Tuesday night 
Nobody reads poetry
They all sit at home
Dazed from Monday
Oblivious and alone

Postcards from 
Yesterday
Upon the office wall
Nothing left to do 
Let’s take the kids…
        To the fair

Rick Skaggs is playing
There’s a carney with a grin
Stuffed animals
And a...

Nothing In Love
Nothing in love

you are and do not know

That you would make good of bad and, friends of foes

They met in the day of success

For in my way it lies, stars hide your fires

and show the best of our delights

or so much as it needs

shall we...

Before I Go
I just wanted you to know

that I appreciate everything you did for me

I just wanted you to know how it felt to have a real family

and not have to move every two years

It's so hard to tell you how I feel when 

I'm gone or...
