I am not a bad person
Just covered in pile of dirt
Layers and layers and layers
Layers of pain and hurt
Look at me closely though
Through the dark of skin
A treasure chest of love
You shall find within
Tag: Dreams
You
The only person who can judge you is You
The only one you need to compare yourself with is You
The only one you need to be better than is You
The only person who matters is You
The only hands that’ll work on your dreams are Yours
The only feet that will bear the brunt are Yours
The only voice that you can hear is Yours
The only efforts that count are Yours
The only body that can heal your wounds is Yours
The only mind you can understand is Yours
The only heart that’ll know your pain is Yours
The only life you can define is Yours
The only one who can inspire you is You
The only person who can break your heart is you
The only person who can make you happy is You
The only one is You
But Let It Be
I’ve got a house but it’s empty
A head full of memory
A heart but no soul in me
But let it be
The limbs are always so weary
Thoughts always so scary
Never thought I’d be so lonely
But let it be
Drowning in this massive sea
Only darkness and catastrophe
As far as I can see
But let it be
For once let me disagree
I’m neither safe nor sorry
Fighting without a family
But let it be
All the stars tell their story
All the birds sing atop a tree
I wanna reach that glory
But let it be
Now I sing so carelessly
Now I rant so endlessly
Pick me up and set me free
Or let it be
Dear Today
Dear Today,
Yesterday was bad
Tomorrow is uncertain
You are all I have
Yesterday made me cry
Tomorrow will make me cry
You make me smile
Yesterday makes me feel young
Tomorrow makes me feel old
You make me feel as I am
Yesterday gave me dreams
Tomorrow gives me hope
You give me time to act
Yesterday made me sad
Tomorrow will make me sad
You make me happy
So you see it’s difficult
To deal with all three of you at once
So I’m going to choose you
Forget about the other two
I’m yours
You are mine
Let’s do something beautiful
So Gently Time Healed All My Wounds
So gently Time healed all my wounds
Relieved me from all pain
Then the memories came flooding in
Opening my scars again
Let Me Write A Poem Today
Let me write a poem today
Now that the internet is down
A deadly virus has locked us
I can’t go out in town
Let me write a poem today
No friends or foes to call to
Unimportant work around
Very little else to do
Let me write a poem today
Though my heart feels nothing
Writing might trigger an emotion
About someone somewhere something
I’m Drowning In The Fire
I’m drowning in the fire
Burning in the sea
Oh what an irony my life
Is turning out to be
I’ll Stop Writing
When men stop dreaming
Sharks stop swimming
When men stop trying
Fleas stop flying
When crows stop crowing
Skies stop snowing
When dogs stop biting
I’ll stop writing
Survival Is An Art
Take a little kindness off of me
Make me a little smart
Kindness will only get me so far
When survival is an art
I’m Only Good At Being Kind
I ain’t good at dreaming
Beaming, screaming, scheming
Ain’t either good at dancing
Prancing, financing, romancing
I thought I was good at math
But no it’s not like that
I’m only good at being kind
And that counts for nothing
I ain’t good at flying
Crying, trying or replying
Neither am I good at sighing
Lying, prying or dying
I thought I was good at everything
But I ain’t good at anything
I’m only good at being kind
And that counts for nothing
Should I learn some knitting
Splitting, gritting or quitting?
Should I do some reading
Breeding, feeding, kneading?
Or should I learn how to run
Or finally get some work done
I’m only good at being kind
And that counts for nothing
I’m not good at being good
Drinking, thinking or eating food
Or being the best that I could
Or doing what I should
I ain’t good at looking ahead
Or even at looking behind
I’m only good at being kind
And that counts for nothing
