My Day
When the day starts getting weary
I think of you and smile
A secret little knowing
When I think of you my dear
When afternoon gets restless
And I need a little something
Just to keep me going
I close my eyes and think of you
When evening falls apon me
I smile with the knowledge
That your just around the corner
And just a heartbeat away
In sleepless nights you visit
You bring with you a whisper
You ease away my worries
You calm my restless heart
An in my dreams you follow
You make my heart start racing
You tell me what I need to hear
And make me whole again
White Otter Lake
A striking young beauty
Eye's simmered like gold
A spirited creature
As the story is told
She could use a man solely
No matter the stake
Then her eye caught a hold
The man from White Otter Lake
She wanted a castle
A place to call home
So he got to it quickly
So she wouldn't roam
From day to weeks to months
Then turned to years
As the house slowly built
So did his fears
Tirelessly, he did work
A labour of love
Brought supplies with his boat
No help to speak of
No sooner was it
That the house was complete
When another love came to her
He knew he was beat
All alone in his castle
On White Otter Lake
And in all of it's grandeur
His epitaph it did make
Some Reasons
Sunsets, flowers, birds, trees.
The warmth of the sun.
A cool summers breeze.
Smells of spring and the colours of Fall.
The chill of winter.
Hearing loons call.
Smiles of children,dogs wigging tails.
Walks in the park,
On long winding trails.
Tastes of fresh popcorn, french fries and dogs.
Heat of a fireplace.
The smell of pine logs.
I could go on and make a hugs list.
But for so many of us left here.
You'd be greatly missed.
These are some reasons that you should stay
Keep on with living
It gets better someday.
On The Streets
People stop and ask you why
But they don't care if you live or die
When your on the streets your on your own
You can't get no place if you got no home
Don't know where your going to sleep
Don't know when your going to eat
You'll sell yourself so you survive
When winter come will you be alive
Don't know whats around the bend
You ask yourself will it ever end
When life gets to much for you to take
Wondering where you've made mistakes
Street are cold and dangerous
You have to do what you must
Cause when your on the streets your on your own
You can't get no place when you got no home
I am Hurting
I reach for you
But your not there
I cry for you
But you cant hear
I long for you
But your not here
I go to you
But you just disappear.
I wonder if I am ever going to get over you
I'm still searching for some light some hope to hold
I get thought each day
I just don't live in it
When I lay down my head your always there
Because your inside it
Your not next to me to hold on to me
And you just don't get it
You dont need my love like I need yours
You cant share you heart your mind your life your soul
You can't give give what I need to feel whole again
Cause you never really knew me like I thought you did
I cry out you name
But you don't listen
Cause your never here
When I need most
You live like a man
Who wants his freedom
You only love me when
You need me you just use me
I hate what your doing to me
And I wont live with it
Cause I am not going to sit by
Waiting for you to realize
That I am
The best thing
That has ever happened
In you life
Hands
My voice is silent
Though my mind shouts
My hands always write
What my heart's all about
When depression
Over-shadows my joy
My hands keep on writing
To help fill the void
When deep within me
My soul crys in pain
My hands keep on writing
To help me keep sane
I write about things
I can't seem to say
My hands keep me writing
To show me the way
So when my voice goes silent
And my minds shouting out
It's my hands that are sharing
Shedding no doubt
Changes
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Different faces, different places
All come back to the same rat race.
Hang ups and attitudes
Different station same old tunes
Step on feeling step on toes
Where it stops no one knows.
Do old stories ever end
Do broken fences ever mend
Can you get up when your so low
When theres no light you can not grow.
I need a light so I can see ahead
See my future so I dont dread
Better odds to even the score
All I need is a little more.
Then again what difference would it make
If everything I see is fake
Who'll be here to hear my cries
Who'll be here to dry my eye's?
Helpless, hopeless, depression
My attitude is my salvation
It's my strength that will leads me on
Reaching new heights and well beyond.
This is where the change begins
You have to start deep with in
Like yourself and start a new
Contentment comes to very few
Moving On
When I close my eyes and I discover that
I am not who I thought I was
Who am I
When i wake up and find out that all that I ever was
Was a lie
When I thought things were good
To find out now
I was fooling myself
Who did I fool then?
What do I do now?
Move on
I open my eye's and look into the mirror
To see who is staring back
I like who I see
I now know
Where I am going
I now know
Who I am
I now like my life
I am not fooling anyone
Not even
Myself
I have
A destination
I have
A purpose
I have
A sense of fulfillment
I encourage
Each day's arrival
With eager
Anticipation
I have
Grown as a person
I am
Embracing life
I am
Satisfied
I am
Happy
Most importantly
I am
Proud of who I have become
Life's Journey
Every road in life has curves, bends, bumps, and hills.
Although we choose our path,
We might not acquire insight or knowledge
From the paths we have chosen.
When we travel, we want our roads to be straight,
With little or no bumps to disturb our smooth ride.
But, life offers little in the way of guarantee's.
With each bump we learn more about how strong we can become.
How weak we really are.
Each turn uncovers a beauty and the ugly realization that,
We are not in control of the roads which lay ahead.
Measure how far you have gone not by age,
But by the knowledge you have achieved during your travels.
Look back upon the roads on which you have traveled,
Not to find fault but in search for what went right on your road.
Embrace your triumph's.
Accept your defeats.
Shed your doubt and despair
Replace them with realistic goals that are attainable.
Stop reaching for the stars,
When beauty surrounds you on the road which you have chosen to travel.
Stop.
Drink in the sight's
Listen.
At times even silence makes a wondrous sound.
Insane
All alone she stands in the rain
Hidden tears and hidden pain
She's got everything to loss and nothing to gain
Secretly she goes insane
She keeps her secrets from her friends
Their meek support they try and lend
She has no defenses so she can fend
And closer still there comes the end
All that you know is she is feeling blue
Guess there is nothing you can do
She's been hurt by many and loved by few
She's going mad you know it's true
And when the lights go out
You think you hear a shout
You'll know what it's about
She's gone mad you have no doubt
It's time now she's set free
She kept her secret see
The same she will never be
Now you'll never find the key
Now all alone she's in the rain
Feeling no pleasure feeling no pain
She had nothing left to loss to gain
Now that she's truly gone insane
