And So I Thought

16 05 2009

Just a smile and I get on by
A joking vibe and on I slide
A mask that’s been painted
With my own hand
And all along I had no idea

But it’s my thing my special gift
It ain’t my doing I’ve been given it
A natural thing that’s born within
Or so I thought, oh man
How wrong could I have been

She told me how it really was
Said have you noticed that always
When times are tough you run and hide
And others think you’re getting by
Stronger than before

And with her voice inside my mind
I started to peel and tear aside
The years of smoke and layered lies
And find myself in a naked sky
Filled with clouds and waterless rain





open the door

He spends his day walking through doors

expecting to find the unknown;

that which is waiting, patiently,

for him to arrive.

A hope triggered hand reaching out,

cutting the fear of doubt

and uncertainty,

slowly turning a handle of hope.

“Does this mean it will end?”

It’s only the beginning.

I wish I knew
What to do
How to see
And push on through

To take a chance
To risk it all
And find myself
Wanting more

To just let go
And jump right in
Change my mind
And change my skin

To be bold
And not afraid
This I wish
I wish I knew





Life is Beautiful

17 10 2008

i heard someone say today
life is beautiful
if you overcome
the very thing which binds you

but the beauty hidden deep
within this life of mine
can only be reached
with an overcoming mind

the hand that shaped and moulded me
full of fear and wonder
with gentle love it guides me
so i overcome

life is only beautiful 
when in you myself i find

life is only beautiful 
when in you myself i find
