That little voice inside your head
Taunting you for days on end
You’re tired, scared and it all aches
Pain echos as your heart breaks
You’re quiet and your minds a mess
Let me say I know that best
It hurts to ( to know ) the fear
To feel so scared
Inside your safe
We’re all mad here
You tried to say you have no fear
Drunk and drugs
All disappears
You, myself and everyone
Someone’s daughter
Someone’s son
Believe me when I say that you are loved
Who do you tell your story to
The one that keeps you sad and blue
~You trust no one
so tellings hard to do
You will drop some things ya see
first things first
drop to your knees
~ Drop down and cry
Pray
Set me free
Should have done it differently
Like you I did it
Had to be
Took the turn to worse you see
Please now just go
Just leave
Pride eating at the wounded soul
Ego swallows conscience whole
Tortured self takes its toll
Bones rest on a bench tonight
Tell my mom I’ll be alright
The stars light up the sky
I search for end in sight
Right now my path came to this stone
Mama,
One day I may come back home.
Until or when
I love you heart and soul,
Love, your oldest son

Faith is where your fear can rest
Hope ~ knows you are loved and blessed
You’ve come this far so please don’t quit
Please don’t give up on you
You, myself, and everyone
Someone’s daughter
Someone’s son
Believe me when I say that you are loved
You may not see it now
Faith, hope, when, how
One day you can look back
One day you will look back
Look back
Look back and be like wow
You made it through that yesterday
Tomorrow’s still a day away
Live in the moment
Right here and now
Be right there
Be still and see
You can get up
Come back to me
Mom I’ll be there
Wait on me
I’ll be home
I’m going to ask her to marry me

November 16th 2018
You, myself and everyone
Someone’s daughter
Someone’s son
Believe me when I say that you are loved
You, myself and everyone
Someone’s daughter
Someone’s son
Believe me when I say that you are loved
You, myself and everyone
Someone’s daughter
Someone’s son
