(The Final Chapter)
Longing for a purpose, or a simple reason
Growing older with the change of the season
Looking at photos from so long ago
Not only from summers but winters also
Look how I've changed, and altered in height
All of my life I hoped I'd turn out right
But here's the thing, there's no right or wrong
It's knowing that, that takes so long
I wasn't my father, I didn't follow his path
I wasn't my brother, I couldn't do the math
I wasn't the priest that my mother hoped I would be
I wasn't my friends, as you could see
I learned lessons, from each of those listed
As I grew up I knew I was gifted
I was gifted with family, supportive and smart
I was blessed with a mother, who loved doing art
I was gifted with friends, optimistic and wise
I was gifted with a boss, who believed in second tries
I was gifted with a heart, that I shared all around
I thought I was lost, but turns out I am found
Thank you God for blessing me daily
Thank you friends, for wanting to save me
Thank you dear father, for guiding my hand
Thank you dear Jesus, I now understand
Why I moved...
(Last Nightmare)
Falling through dreams, some good and some scary
While I was falling I met a small fairy
She told me her dreams and how she gets hurt
She once dreamed she was buried, alive in the dirt
The scary part was it didn't feel like a dream
The longer it got the more real it seemed
I told her I'm sorry and that I could relate
I've dreamt about losing the battle of fate
We're falling down at the speed of light
The darkness ahead seems so bright
Maybe it's death that we've both come to see
Perhaps what we have is more then just dreams
I open my eyes but I'm still not awake
The strength I once had is starting to break
I hold out my hands and she quickly grabs hold
We're entering warmth, and leaving the cold
I say I'm alright and she says she is fine
The nightmares are over, both hers and mine
I scream at the darkness that's when I wake up
Darkness overpowers a lot of things, except for true love
Thank you small fairy...
Involuntary Vision
Dream after dream, what's the meaning of them all
In some dreams I stand and in others I fall
My dream last night was nothing like the rest
It was not only dark but it put my fear to the test
I entered a portal, and traveled through time
To two-thousand and five, the year I started to rhyme
I didn't go unarmed, for I carried a gun
To finish the battle, that I thought couldn't be won
I see my past, a day where I'm hanging with friends
When I think back to this point, I thought this was the end
It was only the beginning, as I now understand
This all started before I wrote “Every Man.”
Back at that point in time I thought I had reached a halt
I thought it was the end, and it was all my dads fault
I was leaving this girl, as well as discarding my home
I was entering a time of solitude, just being alone
I was filled with tears and undoubtedly scared
What killed me most was not knowing she cared
I take a step closer and I see me with this girl
But this was far before I knew she changed my world
I pull out a pistol, and I'm starting to aim
I'm gonna end my life, before anyone knows my name
Someone grabs my shoulder, it's my old friend
He says, “Do you really want your life to end?”
I reply saying, “Suffering pain, is all that's ahead,
I should end it all now, and just shoot myself dead.”
He says, “Suffering pain, comes with happiness and laughter,
And ending that is not the goal you are after.”
He then disappears before I could speak
I thought I was strong, but I guess I am weak
I see my past self writing my very first poem
And the friend I just spoke of, I decided to show 'em
I put the pistol down, and that's when I wake up
There's one reason I live, and that reason is “Love”
Don't let it die, or I'll die along with it...
