Perfect

Perfect, I have never been 
But I will try my very best to be
I have tried to lead a good life
It is quite easy for people to see
I have not made the best choices  
But few people ever do
There are many things I wish I could change
And start again a new
But thinking about it doesn't help
It only chases time away
So I will just let it go
And focus on today
May mistakes you have seen
And many more you will see
Please just know I am sorry
Because perfect I will never be

Change

Things have changed so much
All within so little time
Some days I don't think about it
And I ignore all of the internal rhyme
Years have made me who I am
But days make us all grown apart
Some how I knew it would end
But I never knew when it would start
I have left behind the people I know
And forged ahead in my life
But one thing I never seen coming
Was all this pain and strife
I know you all think about the promises
I told you all I would stand by you till the end
I know you all think about the good times  
How we couldn't have better friends
But somehow we let that die
We all let it slip away
We all left each other behind
Thinking we could talk them another day
But I know better all to well 
I know how the days blend and fade
One day that person will be gone for good
Because God's decision has been made
Changes happen so quickly
Anything can change within a blink of an eye
Everything is so happy one moment
Then you have to wish somebody goodbye
I know time pushes us all ahead
There isn't anything we can do
But remember to live life to the fullest
And keep in touch with all the friends you knew
And that is all I ask
That we stay close to are friends
Because one day you never know
You just may need them again

My Heaven

Are you dreaming?
Or is this my dream
Are you this perfect
Like a silver light's gleam
The feeling is rising
Can you feel it rise too
Have you felt it before
Or is this something new
When I see you
Despair slips away
It because of you 
I live for each day
In those eyes 
I find a heavenly grace
And I can't help 
But love that beautiful face
And a slight touch of your hand
Is a angel's embrace
It seems when I am with you
My soul dances in a far off place
This is how I feel
And I hope you can feel it too
Because heaven isn't in the clouds
My heaven is in you

To My Friends

To all my friends from over the years
Ones that shared my laughter and tears
I have remembered most and forget some
I reach for the ones I have lost and embrace the others to come
I am glad to have you all in my heart
It helps to ease my pain when it starts
Everyone has helped me out in one way or more
They helped me up and opened life’s door

To my closest friends I honor the most
I open my bottled feeling and proclaim a toast

Aaron you are my first close friend
You and I will be friends till the end
I have known you since the forth grade
I sorry that those times had to fade
It been a away since we have seen each other
I ask about you when I see your father or mother
Just remember I will stand by you ever
And know we are best friends forever

AJ you are just one of a kind
People like you are truly hard to find
You have saved me from the darkness in my soul
You never tried to, but you made me feel whole
We have done so many things in the last two years
We have done dumb things and shared death’s tears
Even when we are so many miles away
Are friendship stays strong past those yesterdays

Chantal you have always been right
I learned so much from you on those late nights
You have taught me so very much
It seemed you and me were in common touch
I can’t thank you enough for taking me to prom
It helped me make my wounded heart calm
I am glad to know you are doing just fine
I am sure we will hang out farther down the line 

Cindy you are just beautiful and wise
I would say that are friendship was quite a surprise
By some kind of will we were brought to each other
I sense that in the future we will need one another
I can’t help but thank you for the things you have done
You have listened to me and we shared that stuff called fun
Friends is what we are and maybe we will be more
I guess I will wait and see what God has in store

Cory you are the guardian angel of my soul
When you left, the world became so dull
I was angry and mixed up and lost for a while
I think of you now, and can’t help but smile
At the time I was selfish about you going away
I was so caught up, I forgot about the ways you would stay
I know you are watching me from far above
I can some days feel you, I can feel the warmth of love 
You have made me into the man I am today
Just wait for me, I will be with you again some day

You five are my closest friends
And I hope that we will stay connected, long past the end

Held By a Chain

The ground has thawed
The winter winds faded
Things left wounded 
Still are unaided

Time rushing by
In eternal flow
I sit wondering
Which course to go

In this speck of time
Nothing is clear
A world of chaos
Swallowed by fear

With all the world
Burning all around
With broken tools
Everything sinks into the ground

With small steps
The fights soon end
Once a foe
Is now a friend

And with new origins 
The facts remain
Nothing is closer
Life is held by a chain

The Cycle

The cycle has ended
And it begins again
Once again I have gone
Nowhere...
Another year has pasted
And I am stuck looking forward
To future of empty felling
Forced by a promise
To become something I hate
A promise made years ago
That I must keep....
Each time I come within inches
Of the goal that has been set
The goal that will wipe away
My forsaken promise
Yet I am pulled away
And must circle back
Following this endless path
This cycle....

Pain

Pain runs in the open heart 
Turning away to a life never to again start 
Green eyed tears flow like a river's night wind 
The body is clean but the mind lives in forever sin 
The glass splitters as it slips to the ground 
The life you had seems like it can't be found 
So run as fast away from your pain 
And leave behind your lost loves cane 
There is so much mixed up in the mind 
You look around scared about what you will find 
Black seems as white as gray 
So where is your soul going to stray 
The pain is so much it will never be feed 
The heart is torn apart till it is dead 
The fire with in you has turned to ice 
But that is just part of rolling the dice 
But don't just lay around and cry 
Look up towards the heavens and you will again fly 
There are still things that have not been done 
The path ahead is as bright as the sun 
Just remember that the pain is just a lie 
Then you will live forever and you shall never die

Funny

Funny is the only way I can describe it
The way I find myself as I sit
The way I run in circles and yet keep on going
The way my dream slips away and fears start growing
Keeping my mind as sharp as a steel knife
While finding the balance in this life 

I know that life is short and I will end up dead
But I know that there is much more ahead
But isn’t it funny how this tiny world turns
How the old forgets what the young learns
How the good guys never seem to win
How money causes people to live by sin

I often worry about what people think about me
I also worry about what the people see
I worry about my job and about school
I even sometimes worry about looking like a fool
I find it funny that worrying is all I do
As I try to find a way to my dream, which I pursue  

Funny how I spend most of my time thinking about love
I have a lot from my family and even a bit from above
I share a lot with many different friends as well
Yet my heart is always locked in a prison cell
I wonder why it’s that type of love I can’t find
Isn’t it funny that I’m the guy that gets left behind

Music

The music steals me to somewhere far away 
Its somewhere beyond beauty where I wish to stay 
Fell it flow in me and feel it go 
The feeling is only to the ones that know 
The song enters the brain to the mind 
The child inside kills for what it finds 
It flows to the body and I move to its beat 
Slowly falling down to the floor after my feet 
Becoming one with it in all ways 
Following it in my soul's never ending maze 
Now things are becoming clear 
Everything has become complete here 
There is nothing else left but what is now 
I would wish it to be like this forever, if I knew how 
Slowly I come down from my heavenly place 
All that is left is an empty space 
Like a painful drug all it will do is call 
It will rip me apart like a dull rusty saw 
All I can do is live in my colorless haze 
Until that song once again plays

Love

Love is a word everyone uses
Only a few will find it
Very few come to know it
Everybody wants it
