Shine

sometimes i feel so alone like nobody is here,, 
eyes closed all i see is dark fear 
or is it fear for the dark.....
Im sick and tired of always being in pain....
it seems as though pain is chasin me away 
away as in my body is gone to waste 
my mind taketh part into these sick twisted games...
cant see a clear road i think my days are numbered the path beyond me is getting real 
closer but
i dont want to claim what seems to be mine 
and what mine seems to be is the right time to shine,
but i sit back and wonder when will i rise because its time for me to break loose and take 
back whats mine, and whats mine is yours just choose wiselyyyy.. because out lies a shell 
and in lies me, im done talking now time for me to go free ,,break off these shackles and get 
loose feet
and these feet carry me to the highest of the heights
somewhere where the lights shine brighter than bright
i will succeed past success could ever be 
just remember that the key to success lies in me

No Perfection

i laugh off what they say and pretend it doesnt hurt, but really deep down sometimes i think 
the words work
words are just words well at least thats what everyone says but if they are just words why 
do they eat me away.
i try to fight it, i try to run from it, but some kind of way it always drags me down, drags me 
deep, so deep that im so far gone way beyond that i cant escape what i know that isnt true 
but ive been beat down so bad that the lies begin to doan on me and i ask am i really this 
horrible if i a m Lord please curse me now because i mean no harm on anyone who is one of 
yours....you said you wouldnt put no more on me than what i could bare but lord i think my 
burden is full i only ask if you be so kind to spare... take weight off my back cause im tired of being 
sick and sick of being tired,,im Just ready to get away from this cold dark place where 
people think its ok to say what they want to say...but i only ask of you to think before you 
speak because you never know who you will hurt and what that hurt will do to thee, because 
we only see the outside of the house we cant see the in because a door will always lie where 
a person can pretend to act as if nothin is wrong but really evertything is wrong but we will 
never know because what lies behind the broken blinds is a person who is beat down but you 
think they are perfect because a smile hides his frown well think again and be very wise 
because whatever you may say can take breaths away and leave many in tears and a lot in 
thought of only what went on when no one was looking so remember my friends a smile can 
be pretend but watch what you say because you never really know what a person has on his 
plate.
