I’m just growing 
Every day
Every second
In every way.
I’m just going 
My own way
And I’m just glowing
Night and Day.

I’m just reaching 
For the stars
Swimming in the deep end
Looking for Mars.
Cruising late night
In my car
Admiring the late lights
Wonder how far?

We see such distance 
In a night sky
And its very significance
Passes so much of us by.
Run around behaving
Like such small fries
If only we could see
What’s in front of our eyes.

And I don’t know what I’m
Trying to say
I’m just going 
My own way.
And I’m just glowing
Growing everyday
Every second
In every way.

I want to tell you how I feel
Just finding it hard to find the words
Sometimes when I make a big deal
You act like you wish you hadn’t heard.

You’ve been so good to me
Is it you or me you think will run?
Your love is all I see
For your love is never done.

I used to run from love
With a fear it would hold me back
Now when I look at love
It’s clear it’s all thats keeping me on track.

I shed a tear
For you are not here
The past is gone
The future’s unclear.

I don’t often weep
But I couldn’t sleep
I got lost in thoughts
Those thoughts were deep.

Those thoughts were of you
All you didn’t get to do
All you didn’t get to see
All you were due.

A life together to build
A gap to never be filled
The sky can get black
The weather chilled
When life is snatched
Before it’s fulfilled.

In life’s great journey
Our lives are but a piece
Yours was taken early
And I can’t prosecute the thief.

If there is an afterlife, I wish you peace
In life, I wish you were given more time
My dear father, long deceased
You are forever alive in my mind.

I am sorry if I burdened you
If my affect on you was bad
I hid behind a wall from you
While you showed most you had.

Thought I was looking out for you
And you gave me nothing back
I see now, somehow, I was calling out for you
And that scared me, as I’m not used to that.

I see it there
I try to touch
Then it seems
So far away

I see it bare
I cry with lust
As it means
To keep me at bay

It seems unfair
As it dies to dust
It’s just a dream
Of yesterday

It seemed so real
What the dream revealed
Though what it’s made me feel
I can not say.

I said, ‘woman get your damn hands off of me
Get out of my face, now just let me be’
She said, ‘come on baby
Now just talk to me.’
I said, ‘I ain’t your baby
You must be crazy.’

I said, ‘go home woman’, as I was walking away
‘Stop right there’ she said, ‘ I got a lot to say’
‘When you don’t woman that will be the day
Till then, just stop talking to me.’

I question myself
Feel less in myself
When I look for myself
Through the lives of someone else.

Unsure of my dreams
Obscure as they seem
Can lower esteem
Seeing others so assured in their being.

There is a lesson to be learned
Me, I learn them quick
Never look for yourself
In someone else’s shit.

Look through your own eyes
Be your own you
And feel better in yourself
As you do what you want to.

I question myself
But feel better in myself
When I look for myself
In myself and no one else.
