People ask me who I am
or how would you react if you were in a jam?
They try to put people into simple words
to try to put people into separate herds.
The problem is that no matter what I say
who I am will never be on display.
All I can give is snapshots of me
and hope you see who I’m tryin’ to be.
You will never be able to see the whole picture
because you will always be looking through the fissures
that are between each and every depiction,
barred forever by a restriction.
You can’t just see into my mind
because you would never comprehend how it was designed.
There are differences between you and me,
differences that anyon
A lonely song, sung in the deep.
A lowly voice that continues to weep.
It tells you if you want, its heart’s yours to keep
If you’re just willing to take that leap.
Every year is an effort struck anew,
but every year leads to it feeling blue.
All the people move on without a clue
of what this one voice is going through.
This lonely song falls on deaf ears
and with every refusal comes more tears.
It pleads and pleads with its peers
for them to calm all of its fears.
All it wants is someone to call dear
so it will keep trying every year.
This lowly voice ever adheres
to singing the *music of the s

desperately yearning for a home.
Trapped inside the darkest night
the little one cries out with all its might.
Nobody even seems to hear
as the little one begins to give in to fear.
It hides inside the blessed dark,
for now its soul is just as stark.
It held in all its tears
throughout all those trying years.
Now it feels its story is done,
that is, if there ever was one.]

As you watch the procession
a sliver of knowledge comes into your possession.
Suddenly every piece of the puzzle falls into place
and you feel cheated by the unfair race.
The one you protected, the one you care for
will not need you anymore.
There is a growing anticipation
as you watch the figure in white holding the carnation.
You withhold your tears and cries
and the feelings of loss inside.
As you watch your child lie down to rest for the last time
you hear dull, clanging church bells chime.
And when the dust has settled you finally release your emotions

The freedoms we used to share

Now I stand here destitute,

Now I stand here devastated,
exactly where you used to be so dedicated.
Now I stand here drowning in my woes,
exactly here you used to defeat your foes.
Your eyes, oh your eyes,
they never ever seemed to tell a lie.
We used look to the sky
and dream of being able to fly.
But bye-bye, oh bye-bye,
I had hoped to never see you die.

Two Fates on the Battlefield
A man lies on the ground
stuck in the mud.
He lies there and prays to be found,
but as he waits he sees no one around,
so he continues to lie there, in a pool of his own blood.
Low and behold, he hears a sound,
it came from one of the bodies inside the mound.
He calls out in greeting,
but receives no reply.
All that he hears is his heart slowly beating
and so he knows it his time to die.
A shadow looms over this desolate land
as one man stumbles looking for his men.
He tries to give the dying a helping hand
as he whispers each a quiet “amen.”
This man was sent to fight a war he did not believe in
forced to follow and go through

Laments of a Lost, yet Gentle Soul
A lost, wandering soul,
forgotten by most,
is stuck inside too many roles;
far more than any can hope to boast.
A gentle heart, left broken by the land,
wishing for a single hope of receiving a helping hand.
It reaches out to those who cry
Then it runs to its field of rye,
a place of peace,
this is where it waits for the pain to cease.
Then after it had its time to mend
it goes out and continues the cycle that has no end.
