Don't Quit

"When things go wrong, as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low and the debts are high;
And you want to smile but you have to sigh.
When all is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit."

No More Tears

I am being eaten alive
I want to scream
But I have no strength
My lungs are completely devoured
I think my only living organ is my brain

Perhaps they are saying it for dessert
I don’t know what I did during my life
To deserve such a painful death
My silent screams of agony are tortured moans

Music for the worms
I can even smell
The decomposing smell of my organs
My arms and legs have disappeared
Soon my corpse will be no more
I am completely dead

change of heart



thoughts flow through my head,
as i wait to find the place where i belong,
waiting in line for a long time,
my patience slowly ebbing away;

searching for a way to find that special place for me,
that place where i can fly, the place where i feel free,
that place thats my own, the place where im totally
free is right by your side, when its just you and me;

challenges i met along the way,
embrace my life with trepidation.
but, a changed person, i am today;

suddenly the world is different,
the world is new,
the world is a place
perfect for me and you;

and suddenly everything fits,
the world seems like a perfect place,
i’m no longer alone,
and my life doesn’t seem to be such a waste;
