Hall ‘o’s eve
Oh hallowed eve
Hollow is this this evening
Paint dripping from my face, quick paced away from this place
Internally screaming
Eternity haunting, grieving
Leaving
Unfeeling
I’m reeling
So deceiving, no descriptions
New prescription, yet no healing
Barely breathing this hallowed hollow evening
Awaited invitation
Perceived pain revealing a darkend endless swirling ceiling
On the floor want this hurt no more
Pawing, clawing, crawling
Hall ‘o’s eve not naive
I felt you leave me this hallowed hollow howled evening

Giving Thanks
Giving thanks for the encouragement, every step along the way
For the times you held my hand when you must have wanted to slap my face
For the non-judgmental ear and for disproving each and every fear
For the enlightenment during the darkest paths
For never giving up or giving in, tho giving all you had to help me win
For always following thru, never letting me down
For ignoring all the times I was blind, as I see clearly now
For always reminding me to look up at the horizon when I wanted to fall to the ground
For the times you steered me vertically, where ever you chose to lead I knew it was to keep from hurting me
For knowing one day I would realize the reasoning behind all you’d done, knowing none of it was ever done in vain
For every deep breath and every tear shed that you reminded me only washed away the pain
For saving me from the entire world when I thought I was merely some lost forsaken soul
For spinning me around and round, tho not to make me dizzy; but to keep me busy when I just wanted to run away
For not holding me back, or tying me down and for every bit of love I have ever found
I thank you for always being true and always being you
Lastly I thank you for loving me and always allowing me to be just that
Just me

Unperfected
A wrecking ball comes crashing through
Tearing down all the walls around you
A life altering step forward or downward falter
It depends on how you look at the land
Do you see what could be or hold on to the memory of what use to stand
Do you shed light on the darkness or dwell on what you miss
Would you choose to love those you have hurt or hurt those that you love
In the garden do you play in the dirt or would you prefer gloves
Rainy days I swear are the best, no silence to be found
Do you enjoy or protest, soaking up the sounds or search for dry ground
So much you can tell of a person by what causes their misery
So hard to tell fairy tales from mysteries
We’ve all got our story, our own version of perversion
If we could all just remember the past is history and each day is a chance to make happier memories
Maybe we’d all be just a lil more carefree

For Instance
You say you’re so inspired but they know you’re wired
First you’re hired then you’re fired
Ignoring the truth as it’s transpired
Hey, maybe you’re just too tired,
Maybe you‘re transfixed
You heard the alarm sound don’t try and say you were unwarned
The only cyclone you see tho is the one you’re spinning in your own mind
Still it seems the questions dangle alongside you unanswered
Eyes blood-red, rage blurring vision enough to fake being blind
Isn’t it easier when we work things out as a team
If you could just take the time to lend a hand, even to just think about a few people other than you
When you put others first you may be amazed at the things a friendship can do
If you don’t like my blueprints I should remind you it’s possible that what you see now may be ugly
Really all you need to do is change your point of view
Like that long debated question: half empty or half full?
Tell me; how do you see your cup?
Still bitter, still angry maybe a little confused?
Try not to decide too fast
When considering the future try not to focus too acutely on the past.
Does the rain of yesterday determine tomorrow’s forecast?
You can decide what comes next, it’s not all up to fate
Believe me I’ve been there, yes I can relate
There were many times I wouldn’t even step near the plate
Instead I chose to start over, clean slate
Pushed away the frustration of the loss
Started working to gain ground, stopped worrying so much about the cost
Got back in the game, like a boss!
Not planning on playing for keeps but sure, I’ll give that ball a toss
Negativity is nonsense,
A smile can make a world of difference
Suddenly your cares are a million miles away and you didn’t even notice the distance
Turning around to realize a near perfect existence
All it took was a different angle and a touch of persistence
Make yourself happy tho, that you should always do, keep in mind my words are just for instance
