The Day Has Come I Realize

The day has come that I realize 
that my soul has been slayed 
killed by its murderous blade of lies and shame
don't understand it probably never will 
I try to keep hope for the future
but my light gets blown out every time like candles on a birthday cake
crashing me down and spiting on my face while they laugh

My dad said I'm a leader, but I'm starting to second guess his words
starting to think I am a follower sent to do others will
I'm the sheep that has been lead to the slaughter
Like the Christ put on the cross for our sins

And pray for all my friends that are in Hell 
the ones I couldn't save the ones I couldn't make the sell
for the ones who are locked up in the cold cell
we have problems that only human, but I just hate that we have so many of them

This is my last verse to tell
I don't know why I get back up I just do
Is it because of faith,truth,love,pride, or just stupidity?
I won't know the reason until the smoke clears
this is my proclamation I will stay strong 
even when I get knocked down I will get right back up
The day has come I realize

Thats How Life Goes

Tonight boy has some bad news
Heard my father just lots his job
My parents say we aren't living in the struggle
But I'm not a fool I see that this road is hard
How can you fire someone that doesn't do anything wrong
But I guess that how life goes

My mother hates her fob,but she puts on a smile anyway
I feel her pain , but there is nothing I can do
I used to do dirt to sooth the pain goy caught and put to shame
I think I was the the one made us leave the church
One day the church will forgive me
But I guess that how life goes

Another of my friends is gone died in a wreck
didn't to say good bye didn't even get to say Hi
It just wasn't fair that it ended like that
Didn't go to her funeral, but went to her stone
But I guess that how life goes

Time is running so fast no time to adjust
Can't get my head straight, mind is spinning
Just hold up I getting my barrings
One day I will fix it for the family
But I guess that how life goes

My Love

Love so true and so desirable
You make me so strong and make me feel invincable
No force in the world can stop me
I'm the thing that thrives a tree
You breath life into me everytime I see you
You are my doctor make me feel brand new
Still dream about you can't get you out my mind
If I could fly over mountains I would climb over them
I know you feel the same way
Look at the creation that we made
so beautiful and lovely
Glad your by my side , I love you honey

Dedicated to:
The love of my life
Love you Kenzie

Calming Silence

Everything is still now
I feel that every second I lose a pound
The peace is so relaxing can't hear a sound
The time pass by like leaves in a breeze
The calming silence is unbearable  now
I have to make sounds this is terrible
My soul is unloveable and breakable
Still I feel this Calming Silence

Mirror

One...Two...Three... Stop
who's that looking at me
I see him but the image is blured
its a man that is smiling
Why is this so happy
The image is getting clearer
the man i see is me

True Beauty

True Beauty is 
something that is inside
outside appearance means nothing to me
if a person isn't good internally
Life will be full of dread and misery
find someone that brings you great rejoice
and love your choice

True Beauty to me is 
love, compassion, patience, loyalty
a person with out these qualities
means nothing to me

My Soul

You came on a beautiful lullaby
You left like a thunder storm
When your were near i could fly
Now that you are gone i'm just a norm

There is nothing special about me
But i guess you found smothing better
And i will welt away like the dying tree
You were my spring now you are my winter

Summer's End

They days of the sun seem to fade
Joy and wonderment seem to stray
The heat and warmth are gone away

Nothing is left but cold hearts
Men shouting now it starts
Women crying in the dark

It come ever year 
Dry your eyes it's over dear
Winter is coming its here

Every girl needs a friend
Every boy needs a helping hand
Is that to much to ask for on Summer's end

Give In Or Press On

Give In or Press On
I'm falling into the despire I left
Climbing back up from the time before was a test
Now that I'm back in this self-doubt
I feel like a rag doll in the championship bout
I make a joke and it blows up in my face
Well I guess that's what iI get "How does that tast"
My heart tries to find comfort
but it eludes me despite my effort
Each line I write on the paper
Pieces of my soul turns into vapor
So many voices in my mind
Stop It!! Stop It!! there is no time
How do I escape this agony
Do I take people's sympthany 
If I press on what will be the result
If I don't there will be a continuious assault 
Friends I once known have folded their hand
I'm in the ring with no plan or friends
Is this the end of my sanity
or do excep the world choatically
Give In or Press On

American Boy's Dream

Each day we struggle to survive 
Each night I hear the vioce outside 
my window struggle to eat
I am born from a country that 
expects perfection
But discards anyone who doesn't fit 
that profile 
Even though I love my country I 
wish we as a people could lose this 
sense of perfection
Because I know that we can not 
ever become absoultly perfect
I am a boy that knows that I am far 
from perfection, but this is my 
dream
