I don’t want to write a love poem
Talk too deep about my feelings
I’ve too often been wrong
I’ve too often been revealing.

But I’ll write the fucker anyway
For that’s just who I be
And you can castigate or laugh away
Consider this one on me.

Please don’t take your life tonight
Hang on a little longer, it’ll work out right
Please don’t take your life tonight
We’re on our knees, please stay and fight.

Troubled souls committing suicide over hidden fears
Too embarrassed to share those problems with their peers
So they’re crying lonely solemn tears
They bellow but no one hears.

No one hears as the sound is silence
All their fears, stay bound inside them
Till it appears in resounding violence
Then our ears are deafened by their souls silence.

If we had of known, we might of done
You are not alone, my child, my son
We all feel on our own, sometimes, don’t run
We are your home, you our are light, our reason.

So please don’t dare give up on us
And we won’t dare give up on you
If the world is dark and you can’t see
Please make the effort to talk, we’ll try get you through.

There’s not a thing you cannot say
We’ve a clear mind, an open view
If you are blind, and cannot see
We’ll try be the eyes, that you see through.

A problem shared, is a problem halved
Lend us your cares, we’ll lend ears back
Please try and share, if you’re feeling so bad
We want to be there, please give us that chance.

Open up
No matter how hard
If death’s on your mind
Let us try and discard.

If you take the other option
You’ll have no more options to choose
So please first take that chance
What have you got to lose?

Reach out, reach out
Please, reach out.

The tide comes rushing
Flushing out my past
Its affect can be quite crushing
As it rusts what I hoped would last.

It stains and claims my memory
As it strips and batters my soul
Though when it’s done I’m given new energy
Feeling stronger regaining control.

In order to realise a true sense of freedom
Sometimes it helps to come from a time felt trapped
When something or someone has stifled your dreaming
You see a world of opportunity when their grip has relaxed.

What comes and feels a curse
In time often reveals a blessing
For once you know you have experienced your worst
That curse, then suddenly, feels quite refreshing.

Awkward, that’s a word that’s always fascinated me. As it kind of reads how it looks, awkward.
I think there’s a word for that. I should really look it up, as if there is,
the vocabulary escapes me, or maybe I’m thinking of onomatopoeia, which doesn’t apply to here, awkward, that’s a word I know though, as you read my thoughts or fictions as reality.
Greet me, and bury your own.

We’re all looking for something pure
Looking for something good
That’s the allure
The allure of love
Looking for someone to relate to
Some rely on fate to
Grace them with that someone
Who’ll embrace them with some loving
But we’ll keep searching
For that woman perching
Somewhere in this world
Somewhere in this jungle
When it comes to time girl
At the minute I’ve a bundle
So while I wait
I’m going to date
Try and mate
While keeping a bit of faith
I’m only young, having fun, I’m trying to live life
So when i’m done I’ll be ready to give life
May take the mother for a wife
And give my child advice
That’s why I’m getting it out of my system
So when I’m old I don’t end up wishing
Feel something in my life is missing
End up with a bottle reminiscing
That’s why I’m holding the bottle now
When the time comes, I’ll take my bow
Settle down, raise a family
There’s nothing in life, that should make you feel more manly
Give up all the other ladies
For a woman’s love, and a couple of babies
But for the minute I’m only young
It’s awhile away, so I’m having fun
Just saying I’ll be ready when the time comes.

Like a lot of men I dream
One day I’ll find a queen
Form a team
And find out what life really means
Marry their mum
Raise some little ones
Maybe daughters, maybe sons
I’m taking life as it comes
Cause each day, brings new circumstances
Meaning of life? each day brings new answers
We’re growing wiser everyday
One day we’ll put the cider away
To watch our little ones play
Stamp out the drugs
May be young, but not mugs
But for now, set me free
Let me be, on my journey of self discovery
I’ll be back eventually
For now I’m a explore the world
Meet new people, adore different girls
Explore all aspects of life
And find out which aspect is right
For me, for now life’s a party
And my minds open on it’s journey.
Are you an optimist too? cause this an optimist view
You have the option too
There’s nothing stopping you
Only young open your mind
Have your fun, don’t waste time.

I see life as an adventure
And me I’m going to venture
What does the future hold?
Ssssh! man, I don’t want to be told
I want to see my life unfold
With my own eyes
I wanna be there for the truth, laughs, and highs
And for the lows, tears, and lies
I wanna experience everything
Ready for anything
And everything I’m cherishing
Want a full life lived when I’m perishing
But these aren’t thoughts of death
They’re thoughts of life
And with every breath, am I living that life right?
Not right by them, but right by me
I’ve got no children, I’m single I’m free
When the time comes, I’ll fulfill my responsibility
Don’t want to be the lad who runs a mile
I want to be glad, and ready with a smile
That’s the dream
Don’t rip the seam
I’m keeping my mind on the best
Spent a little time being depressed
With this view, feel anything’s possible
Feel ready to chew, any obstacle
And though I got a thirst for life
I still know what comes first in life
And that’s family and friends
So if you’re not coming with me, we’ll be together come the end
And if you ever need me, I’m only a call away
Won’t see me stall, I’ll drop it all,
But I’m a have a ball, until that day.

Today is just a day, where I am on a dip
I was aiming for the top, but toppled from the tip
When I rolled to the bottom, I landed in the shit
And I could only blame myself, for I could see no other hand in it.

Now I’m feeling lonesome, like a cloud has come my way
I yearn for something wholesome, I yearn for another day
Right now I crave a woman, and she is far away
And even if she was here, I’m scared of what she’d say.
