Chosen Fate?

Here he sits in front of me
A shadow of what he could be
Sitting in the dark and cold
Sitting here just growing old

Did he choose to be this way?
To sit here, lonely every day
Alone, without love in his life
Never a partner or a wife

Why would he want to be like this?
Have no one in his life to miss
No soul does he expect to see
No friend to keep him company

As I leave and say goodbye
I still can’t help, but wonder why
This gentleman kind and sincere
Is growing old alone in here

Inside Out

If only you could see inside
The part I always try to hide
The part I can’t seem to let out
The part that makes me cry and shout

A frightened child alone and scared
A child about who no one cared
Locked away for all these years
Locked away with all these fears

Could you love this part of me?
This part of me you’ll never see
The sad and angry child inside
I try so very hard to hide

Maybe you could learn to know
The feelings I try not to show
Hold me when I cry and shout
Help me let the inside out

S.A.D

Wipers wipe away the rain 
But, on my face the tears remain
A sad song on the radio
As the rain slowly turns to snow

It’s cold outside just like my heart
I cry more as I fall apart
Lose grip on reality
Lose grip on the real me

Will I find myself again?
When the sun shines through the rain
Or have I come too far to find
My once strong and healthy mind

Until then I will never know
Just keep driving through the snow
Hoping it leads somewhere light
Where everything will be all right

You

Who are you in there?
Too scared to show your face?
Where is it you're hiding? 
Wont you please show me the place?

I want and need to find you
See and feel the real you
Hold you when you cry as you
Tell me what you've been through

I look for you every day
As I look into your face
Hoping that your eyes will 
Lead me to your hiding place

But, you give nothing away
Your eyes shallow and cold
I wonder if what hides behind 
Them will ever unfold

Or will your feelings stay that way
Folded small and tight
Hidden in a secret place 
Forever out of sight?

Well, I can wait forever
If it should take that long
This is where I'm staying
Where I feel I belong

All Too Much

All that I feel, I feel too much

All that I do, I do too much

Too many hopes, too many fears

Too many feelings, too many tears
