Prove Them Wrong

Prove Them Wrong

When your back is against the wall

Do not look down

For you will surely fall

And succumb to the doubt

That is growing inside you

And is all about

People want to see you fail

So they can succeed

And off of others’ failures

People feed

But I say

Fight back, even if your pride bleeds

Though they are strong

You are you

So prove them wrong

You’re above

And they’re below

Overcome they’re ignorance

And let them know

That this is your place

That they need to find their own space

Just guard your heart

And sharpen your mind

For at this rate

More haters gonna hate

But you don’t have to bite

Let them fail on their own bate

For you’re the master of your own life

And you should not let others define your own fate

So go out

And show the world who you are

For this barren wasteland needs more people like you

To open eyes and take it far

For the Win

For the Win

This is my last chance

My only opportunity

The only thing standing between me and my destiny

Is me

I hold my life in my hand

And I can open it and set myself free

Or I could lock the door

And throw away the key

I just want to be

I just want to be me

Please don’t hold me back

And you will see

What all I can achieve

Even with everyone’s vote against me

I will still believe

Because if I don’t try my best

I should have been born as a slave on my knees

And without self-determination and will

I might as well walk off this earth and leave

Sitting on a Six Story Ledge…

Sitting on a Six Story Ledge…

 Sitting on a six story ledge

Alone

Looking at the city below

Looking for my future

Past the horizon

 Looking at the world

And what it has become

As I sit

I see cars come and go

Just like everyone in my life

That I wanted to know

The wind brushes by my hair

Bringing in yet another generation

 But, to what?

Sitting on a six story ledge

 Alone

Thinking

 What is life?

Why am I here now?

Looking for the answer

 Past the city’s horizon

 Past that

Is where I’m going to go

I will chase that boundary

Til it moves back no further

Sitting on a six story ledge

 Alone

 Methodically looking at my watch

Planning my trip

 Beyond the horizon

 For I will not be apart of this fixed system

 Beneath my feet

I will not let life pass me by

Like these speeding cars

Sitting on a six story ledge

 Alone

 I get up

And begin my journey

 Past the city’s treeline

Beyond society’s hold

Past what my eyes can see

And what my brain perceives

 To that boundary line

Marking my horizon

Life Doesn’t Stop Here

Life Doesn’t Stop Here

You must keep an open mind

But a distanced heart

The last thing you need is a relationship

That pulls your soul apart

What happens in your life

Depends on what you choose to do

But I keep making the same mistakes

It feels like deja vu

But I need to keep moving along

To life’s never ending song

Though time will never end

Our faults we can mend

And our futures

We can alter and bend

As long as we can live and comprehend

That life moves on

So to do the same we must

In ourselves we need to trust

The moment we stay in the past

We begin to rust

But I say move on!

And shake off that dust

There’s still life to live friend

So as long as you’re alive

There will be hope til the end

Don’t Count Me Out

Don’t Count Me out

Though I fell

I’ll get back up stronger

I refuse to be stuck in time

Wallowing over what could of

And what should of

Been

Someday,

These scars are going to tell

The most uplifting story

A story of perseverance

Patience

Love

And hope

These tumors of fear and doubt

Are non-malignant

By truth and peaceful thoughts

They can be lasered out

Confidence is the key to success

I’d rather fail by trying my best

Than to doubt

And never start

You can overcome this

You are strong

Find yourself

And never count yourself out

The Lone Loner

The Lone Loner

Faced with rejection

Anger

And fear

I lock myself away

In my room

Pitch black silence

My thoughts bleeding on the walls

No one there

To give me strength

To wake me up

From my endless slumber

No one to pull me from up under

Myself

Sitting there all alone

I begin to cry

All I want to do

Is crawl up in a ball and die

No one wants to be my friend

And I don’t know why

From all these painful thoughts

My mind goes numb

My soul starts to give out

Thinking I’m lost and done

But then

Out of the pitch black

Eerie silence

I hear…

A faint heartbeat…

Da-dum…

Da-dum…

Da-dum…

Maybe,

I’m not alone?

Knockout

Knockout

I just punched a hole in my wall

I can’t take this at all

I just want to run away

But this pain will just follow me

To the end of eternity

I just want to be free

And I need help desperately

Each day my soul pleads

And my heart bleeds

For relief

From this grief

This hurt is just beyond belief

To long ago,

I met my peak

Now each day I get more and more weak

My will has dried up

And my soul is nothing but an empty cup

This pain has gone on

For far too long

I know longer know how to be strong!

Do I even belong!

Anymore?

Why am I still here for?

My life is now just a dream

And nothing is what it seems

This life I once enjoyed,

But this infection has reached my head

Goodbye,

I’m now soon to be dead…

Or should I pursue hope instead?

Though this life I dread

I still have my whole future ahead

I’m still alive

So this tradgey

I can survive

I need to start searching for me

In this sea of uncertainty

I need to let out

All this fear and doubt

Though this earth is in a drought

Its up to me to water my own flowers

And help them sprout

I was knocked out

Early in the bought

But its not over til that last bell rings

So back on my feet I will spring

With determination in my eyes

Doing nothing but fighting for my prize

And I wont stop the bought

Til I get that knockout

Prison Break

Prison Break

Locked in my room

Sitting in the dark

Waiting for a spark

My insides itch

For that niche

I’m destined for something great

But locked in here

I can’t fulfill my fate

I want to meet my destiny

But I allow myself to get the best of me

I look around the room

And see my demons in the mirror

They swallow me up

And consume me with fear

I bang on the door

But no one lets me out

So each day I scream and shout

But times keeps ticking

And my time on this earth

Is slowly fading and slipping

To the door handle a daily grip

Because as soon as I let go

My life will slip

So I let go

And punched out my mirrors

But the demons kept staring back

So with my bloody hands

I wiped away my tears

Yelling:

“I want to be free!!”

I went on another rampage

And in the wreckage

I found a key

The whole time I didn’t know

That my freedom was up to me

I was blind

Now I can see

The light

That for my life

I have to fight

And everything I’ve done to myself

I have to make right

So I kicked down that stupid door

And I refuse to think of my imprisonment anymore

And from the oppressive house I walked away

And I began to build a stronger one

That very day
