[ Sometimes It May Seem Like Life Is Beating You Down ]
[ Then When You Look Up ]
[ The View You Have Is That Of Looking Up From The Ground ]
[ How Did You Get There? ]
[ Laying On The Ground Looking Up Into The Air? ]
[ You Dust Yourself Off, Then Wipe Off Your Hands ]
[ Then You Look To The Sky ]
[ & Say Thank You For Another Chance ]
[ The Chance To Screw Up Again? ]
[ Then You Realize ]
[ That Screwing Up Is Not A Sin ]

(1391)▪︎[ Get Up … 12•12•2019 ]
[ What Was I Really Thinking? ]
[ When I Went To The Bar & Started Drinking? ]
[ My Problems Were Weighing Me Down ]
[ & It Made Me Look Like A Sad, Sad Clown ]
[ Down, Down, Down My Thoughts Went ]
[ Some Of My Thoughts Seemed Like ]
[ They Were Satan Sent ]
[ The Longer My Thoughts Went Awry ]
[ Makes It Seem If There Was Any Chance For
Me To Have A Better Day ]
[ Went (BYE- BYE) ]
[ Why, As We Speak ]
[ Do My Hopes & Dreams Look So Bleak? ]
[ It Seems Like It’s Been Over A Week ]
[ Since I Started Looking For The Answers That I Seek ]
[ But The Questions That I Had Answers To Were No
Longer Pertinent ]
[ Because The Answers Did Not Help Some Things To
Become Permanent ]
[ Permanent In The Sense That They Enriched My Life ]
[ Through A Way To Turn On The Light ]
[ That Would Shine Like A Beacon ]
[ Far Into The Night ]
[ Until The Sun Rises ]
[ & Then I Hope That There Will Not Be Any Surprises ]
[ That Affect Me In A Bad Way ]
[ During That Day ]
[ But Then I Can’t Just Sit ]
[ & Throw A Fit ]
[ While I Attempt To Get Over It ]
[ & Move On ]
[ Before My Number Is Up ]
[ & I’m Gone ]
[ Now If That Sounds Wrong ]
[ Teach Me How To Stay Or Be Strong ]
[ Enough ]
[ To Get Rid Of The Fluff ]
[ To Learn To Fight The Good Fight ]
[ & To Make Something That Didn’t Seem Right ]
[ Into Something That Will Remain Tight ]

(566)▪︎[ Strikes A Nerve … 6•16•2020 ]
[ Sometimes Things, Words, Events Really Hit Close To Home ]
[ Where Or When Did This Start ]
[ That Is Not Known ]
[ When I Was Very Young, I Had A Bad Night ]
[ It Was Because My Dad Was Drunk ]
[ So He & His Girlfriend Decided To Argue & Fight ]
[ My Dad Made The Worst Decision He Had Ever Made ]
[ He Got His Gun ]
[ & It Was His Life That He Gave ]
[ It Was Not Fun ]
[ To See His Name On A Grave ]
[ But The Rest Of Us @ Home That Night Survived ]
[ But Was I Really Alive? ]
[ There Have Been Bumps & Turns ]
[ Suntans & Burns ]
[ Everybody Had Bad Events Growing Up ]
[ Every Kid Had Times When They Just Wanted To Keep
Their Eyes Shut ]
[ But The Point Is To Get Back Up & Fight Again & Again ]
[ That Is The Only Way You Win ]
[ But My Friends, I Write My Thoughts & I Feel What I Write ]
[ Nobody Says What Is Wrong Or Right ]
[ I Just Want To Turn On The Light ]
[ To Begin Another Day ]
[ To Find A Way ]
[ To Write What I Want To Say ]
[ It’s Not Wrong ]
[ To Have Those Moments When You Don’t Feel Strong ]
[ Don’t Make Hasty Decisions, Without Thinking Ahead ]
[ If You Are Not Feeling Well ]
[ Lay Your Head Down On Your Bed ]
[ & Go To Sleep ]
