Growing up I never thought for a second About what kept my feet upon the ground But when you’re built for something And it’s absent when you look around – That’s when you feel how heavy gravity can be It’s conflict in the air keeping you here It’s necessary for so many things in life But it’s crushing me, I fear – Being broken is … Continue reading Gravity
Two timbers tied together, The wood is stained forever, How simple it may seem, To picture red beam upon beam, Streaks of crimson mark the grain, Never washed by the rain, A final breath atop the hill, The ‘Place of the Skull’ had it’s fill, The Prince of Darkness had his ways, He kept the Lamb of Light busy 3 days, The Savior’s mercy knows … Continue reading Blood
From those with opinions I didn’t ask for. Show me how to love like You and still ignore. From those who create turmoil between the lines. And give me patience when I don’t see the signs. From the pressure of expectations created by anyone but You. I don’t want it easy, but I only want to do what You want me to. From my mirror … Continue reading Lord, Protect Me
Some of you say I have the gift of a word That I should write and be heard But most of the time I’ve nothing to say As I watch day mesh into day Passion is the ink of my pen Ugly is lately where it’s been Happiness seems so simple to some of you But you’ve no idea what I’ve been through I write … Continue reading Final Descent
“Sorrow” Sorrow is an ocean In the silence waves hit I see flashes of light But not enough to stay lit Happy strikes like lightning But thunder follows soon Clouds hide the light I cannot see the moon The tide is high And it sweeps me under I look up and see Lightning before the thunder I am … Continue reading Sorrow

If you’re “doing it on your own”, take a bow And I still love you like a good man should At this point … Continue reading Forever
Dear Future Love, I thought I’d take a moment and write a letter your way So much time has passed it blurs day into day I’m sorry I’ve given myself to people who are fake And that you had to watch them take all they could take I’m sorry I’m broken because you truly deserve better You see that’s just the purpose of this very … Continue reading Dear Future Love
Selfish Prayer I’d really like to be happy I can’t remember how that feels It was a lasting feeling My loneliness steals I admit it, I’m alone all the time It’s partly why it won’t change I’m more afraid of the wrong thing It’s all I know, is that strange? I wish I could do something I just feel so alone lately It takes all … Continue reading Selfish Prayer
Karma Life is just not what I wanted it to be Because what I lost is what was closest to me I try to move on and push into something new But it always fails in comparison, the best part of me was you It bothers me that the only time I ever feel real Is when I feel like these wounds won’t ever heal … Continue reading Karma
Color I just want something to mean something to me This gray aura is everywhere – it’s all I see I know there has to be something still pumping my blood But I haven’t felt it in forever, I’m stuck in the mud Everything in life seems to be a distraction And I’m missing out on years – due to inaction I guess I find … Continue reading Color
