Trapped
Enclosed in a world of darkness,
Trapped within my mind,
I search for an answer,
But one I can not find.
With no light to find my way,
I struggle forth with care,
Not knowing what may become,
Causes the greatest fear.
I envy those who do but say,
'I'll survive no matter what',
For they have pride and grace,
And will one day have the lot.
I always hope and pray,
Something will happen to me,
I guess I need to take a chance,
In order to break free.
A Chance, a Risk, a Gamble,
Each word meaning the same,
If I don't take one, I will but have,
Only myself to blame.
I wish I had the courage,
To escape from this enclosure,
To turn on a light and follow my dreams,
And gain desired exposure.
I know this can't happen now,
Not while I fumble blind,
But I know I do not want to be,
Trapped within my mind!
Four walls
four walls, a window,
and a door
in amongst,
i sit on the floor
thru the walls i hear,
thru the window i see,
all things happening,
without me
reclusive tho i am,
to a certain degree
i could walk thru that door,
anytime now....maybe
At Peace (version 1)
As the sun drifts slowly over the horizon
signalling the end of the day
I sit here and watch,
my troubles melting away
the calmness outside
echos the calmness within
I'm at peace with myself now
like I've never before been
At Peace (version 2)
I cheerish these moments
I get to myself
It's a time for reflection,
if nothing else.
I often escape like this,
just me and my car
We go places distant,
yet really not far
We watch the sun drift slowly over the horizon
signalling the end of the day
I sit here and my troubles
begin melting away
the calmness outside
echos the calmness within
I'm at peace with myself now
like I've never before been
Beauty
There's beauty all around us you know;
From the adoring smile of a new born child
to the raging torrents of a river wild
From the sultry curves of the human form
to the flashing light during a thunderstorm
But all things considered
I say without grin
there's nothing so sweet
as the beauty within.
