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, 
So theres nothing to gain, 
Here's where I would start to explain,
I'm the one to take the blame, 
Thats right, I'm not affriad to claim it,
I'm the one that makes you feel like this,
Even though I've done all these things to the fullest mass,
I'd do anything to change it, And make a positive turn around fast.

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 get out and start fresh, What is out there for you to find,
It's all up to you to put yourself out here in the world, Life is blind,
You could have been the best in the start, You missed the signs,
Yes I do feel your pain, It was never too hard to see it in your eyes,
 I'm sorry you feel this way, When I'm not there I still hear your cries,
I hate to go so soon, but I've just thrown the rest of my cares into the night...

                                                                                          Miranda Lamberts contest         
                                                                                         By         ScottS2011

I Just Wish I

I just wish I..., Could meet you eye to eye,
In all of this negitive, Never open and selective,
Oh please, Don't forget about me, 
Becuase I Can't forget you, That, I would never do,
Starting all over again, Has left me with not a freind, 
But a life partner, Let's take this even farther,
No negitive creation, Leaving us in fustration,
 Take your time, I will take mine,
Read your bible, Turns out it's pretty reliable,
We  should love God before ourselves, 
God will pick us up again if it fails, 
Maybe it don't sound like a good idea to you,
Just look at all the things we have been through,
You wonder why I'm leaving,
It was all for good reason.......

P.S.  I'll be back, I hate it where I'm at.

Nine Times Out of Ten

Nine times out of ten, I would help a stranger,
Nine times out of ten,I would need help from another,
Nine times out of ten, I would pray for a better day,
Nine times out of ten, I would say there is no better day than  this day,
Nine times out of ten, I would say were blessed,
Nine times out of ten, I would say what a mess,
Nine times out of ten, I said we were happy,
Nine times out of ten, I would say those bad times never happen............

God Is Gold

With hands held high, To heaven I will fly,

With God's angels by my side, 

Shed nomore tears, Please don't cry,

The devil is faceless, He has no smile,

He remains without my soul,

 Death on his life will take it's toll,

His heart as black as coal, 

He is to remain in his firey dark hole,

 I stay with God, and God Is gold.

No Way Out

Tree branches cover my veiw of a moon lit sky,
         A cold foggy mist layers the ground,
         I see theres wind, I hear no sound,
       My heart beating in my chest is the only thing 
      being so loud, I need to stay strong, So I  can fix all 
   that feels so wrong, breathing would help me stay calm, 
But my mind feels boxed in, here I have no freinds, here is a dark
 place, Im still in Gods good grace, So the sun came up for me 
that very next day. 

                                                                      Scott S.

To Many Lines

My reason for being alive, Could consist of way to many lines,
No matter what form I choose to write in at this time,
As a young man doing what seems to be right.
Keeping confidence at a all time high, 
With clipped wings, never supposed to fly,
Never meant to see what meets the eye,
Let me tell you what was in my mind,
I always thought I would grow up to be the good guy,
But I had a high for hopes ego, And A high on life pride,
I never have went back to find my reasons  why,
In fear of seeing a whole not book filled with lies,
I'm sorry for all the people I hurt in that stretch of my life,
I may have been to selfish to others in mine, 
Believe me when I say I feel like I commented the deadliest crime,
Still young, but trying, This may give  me closure  of some kind, 
It makes me feel better knowing in the long run what I could find,
It makes the world a difference, To me, that's just Fine,
Lost in confusion, This sent to the future, where there are still to many 
lines.......................

Hero's

It's wonderful all the people that are willing to come together,
No matter how big or small the disaster, Man made or mother nature,
They're always a lending hand to rebuild lives, We all need to keep our hero's 
of the world in mind, They never had to be this kind, They're present in your life for 
your relief,
Thank you search and rescue teams, Thank you anyone who is just a volunteer 
willing to help, 
I can't imagine How all those families felt,All the people lost there homes, Loved 
ones lost too, 
I feel for these people in knowing what they've been through, All in shock , Not 
knowing where to
go, After getting stuck in the path of an EF5 tornado, 

Inspired by a true story in Joplin Missouri. I was born in Joplin then moved away. 
Once I graduated high school. I  returned. I lived In Joplin for 6 years after 
returning. Then moved out of state. The day 
I was coming to visit my family in Joplin is the day that the storm came through 
producing this mass 
destruction. That day Was the 22 of may 2011..

At First Glance

All jokes aside, Welcome to my life,
A special word, To help you move forward,
No need to resist it, I'm here to help you through this,
Get up and move, there are things in this world you need to proove,
Your mad becuase your single at a young age, Shoot, I'll help you turn the page,
Giving you that fighting chance, To find someone at first glance, 
Give it that first trial, I know you will find your smile,
Now look, your single life is off the hook,
Your married and have kids now,
 I know you still sit there and wonder how,
It's becuase you went through with it and got your head out of the clouds.

Thoughts of Us

A feeling so true, In colors of blue,
So often were the same,
Its what keeps us both sain,
We both feel were the ones to blame,
Then I read your letter and remember why I came,
Im sorry for my mistakes,
I want to let you know I'm not fake,
With you I'll never lose faith,
I've never without a doubt felt this way,
your the reason I wake up everyday.
