Entry for March 16, 2007
Why must I feel this way today
I'm a soldier but afraid sometimes
To face the things that may
Block the sun from shinin' rays
and fill my life with shades of gray
But still I long to find a way
So today I pray for grace
I take a moment to myself
So I can heal myself
To feel myself
And be real myself
Life's Addictions and Afflictions
cause Abrasions from their Friction
Sometimes, it's easier to live in Fiction
I can run but I can't hide
from the pain that
resides down deep inside
There is no pill
that can be swallowed
There is no Guru
that can be followed
There's no Escapin'
From my own history
Those that I hurt,
and those that hurt me
I was dead for a million years
fore I was born and
I'll be dead for a million more
After I'm gone
So i live, to give somethin
that can live on
Like the way you hum a song
when music's gone
Like the warmth of the sand
when the sun goes down
and i'm sittin' with myself
Nobody else is around but,
Been a long, long time
since I been away
Been a long,long time
since I felt this way
Been a long,long time
I Found the words to say
How much I'm Grateful
for my life today
cause under every cup
you might find a nut
Behind every corner
you might get jacked up
At the end of every rainbow,
you might find gold
The last bite of your sandwich,
hope you don't find mold
cause none of us
can live the perfect life
The kind that we see on Nick at night
and sometimes we all
Just Lose sight
Of the pain that will guide us
from the dark into the light
We fall down yes, but yes we Get UP
AND SOMETIMES WE JUST NEED
A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE
TO HELP TO MAKE IT
THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
INTO THE NIGHT,INTO THE LIGHT,
INTO A SATURDAY
SO IN THE MORNING' WHEN I'M WAITIN'
FOR THE SUN TO RAISE
AND MY HEAD'S A LITTLE FOGGY
LIKE I'M IN A HAZE
I REMIND MYSELF THAT
EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OKAY
I TAKE A BREATH, SLOW DOWN AND SAY..........
Why must I feel this way today
I'm a soldier but afraid sometimes
To face the things that may
Block the sun from shinin' rays
and fill my life with shades of gray
But still I long to find a way
So today I pray for grace!
