Close your dream filled eyes
Quiet your anxious, loud mind
Run wild from the intrusive taunts
Fixating, gossiping over you in silent,
Yet understood tongue.
Let the lies of yourself fall through
Unravel the programming stringing you along.
Step in surety, embrace the unknown
Befriend uncomfort - watch yourself grow.
Beneath your sadness and tears of dew
Rests a welcoming child your heart once knew.
Greet them in play, spark up a chat
Let dance the flow of life as it once was.
Invoke change, shake it’s hand
Say hello to strangers you may never know.
Spend days away from civil happenings
Only passable roads lie between you and freedom -
From all that is truly needed.
Will you be the light
In my dark world
Will you be the rain
In my lonely desert
Can you cross the ocean
Filled with my depression
Are you the word
Which adds meaning to my imperfect sentence
Can you put a smile
On my confused face
Are you the missing piece
Of my puzzle of happiness
Will you be everywhere
In every moment
In every memory
Your smile is the best antidote
Of all my uncomfort
Your presence is like a blessing
Your voice gives feel of that sweet music I love
I stand confused
Unaware of what I must do
Are you the one what I'm missing
Can you complete my world
Will you hold my hand
All my life
Will you stay with me
Till I'm on my deathbed
I’d do anything I could
To make myself happy
I eat desserts
I watch TV
I play sports
I just couldn’t find happiness
I tried everything
Then I realized
To be happy
You need to be yourself
I hope you get the point
For this helped me
Goodbye now
Now I must go
As darkness falls and others sleep
in moonlight, full and sleek
Internal emotions sick in my soul
and the dreams never come
Persistent wispers must always taunt
like the blowing wind outside
As sleepless demons slowly creeping in
through to emptiness... to my mind inside
Thirty minutes could be thirty years
and another hour has passed
and still, I fight this consciousness
of the vivd times of past
From front to back, side to side then
back to front my shadows roll
uncomfort in my memory
and even in this empty bed
I reach across to gain the memory
of your hair
i used to play with your hair
it brought me comfort
it brought me rest
it broguht me saftley
it brought me sleeping
like a lake of fluid smooth dreams
in this chamber room you'de keep
And so I sing this song of lonely nights forever
to pacify my mind
Then roll to the other side of love
where there is no one.
Beanteth these sheets I palpitate
those demons always participate
My soul tormented as I sink
from dusk to dawn and these hundred years
that pass so slow and not even flow of tears
can put me out for a single wink.
Such a little thing you are.
Kicking and hitting away.
For such a little thing,
you move so much,
can cause some uncomfort,
just from sitting,
or laying down.
Such a little thing you are,
cause a lot of excited for everyone,
shopping and selling for you,
just to make room.
But as you grow,
the more you'll know,
just how much I love you.
