Grasping at pipe dreams Something good Is never what it seems Riding a wave of discontent The sting of doubt unrelenting

Falling from the sky Silencing the hearts cry Feeding lies In hopes of filling hungry eyes Subjecting the innocence

Swimming in a sea of doubt, Overcoming life’s bout. Nothing ventured, nothing gained; Nothing’s gained without adversity…

Stargazing from within Acknowledging the end I gave myself away To allow what may Standing in my way

Twenty five Afraid to live Afraid to tempt fate To want what others have– How sinful of me

Sleepless nights Hot & heavy fights Slump over the couch Mumbling the words ouch! Give me some time

Reaching in the frigid cold Searching for a hand to hold To give me hope To give me strength In the hallows of my mind

Twirling in a dizzying array of wo… Held captive to the orchestra of t… When the icy breath of winter appr… My dismay is irreproachable Sleeping in the arms of slumber

Yelling for no reason Overreacting because I love you Accusing me of treason I can’t stand you Ignoring me

Prolonging the inevitable Wanting this feeling to linger Succumbing to the infallible Feeling like we’re strangers Staring at me w/a dormant gaze

Crazy like the weather You blow me away like a feather Trying to convey my soul spark Laughing at me in winters stark Picking me apart

Chasing shadows In summer meadows Lingering by the wayside Watching memories of you die Fighting worry
